    I agree with this wholeheartedly. Embracing this change in what you value in relationships is a key part of growing up. The shift from playing together (childhood) to having each o…

    The "CLI crowd" is also primarily using LLMs on their own computer. Where they have their CLI tools. This doesn't cover the case when you're talking to an LLM from web, or via Slac…

    That's about right. Half the TPS with half the power. GLM-5.2 will be much more demanding tho

    If it takes longer to find stuff on a page, one of the most prized metrics goes up: time on page. And here we are.

    I don’t think you need a 10-30b model for most smartphone use cases. But I meant to counter gp’s claim that “I can run a 27b model on an iPhone” is kind of pointless and disingenuo…

    We're too easily conflating parameter count with capability. That Bonsai 27B you're running is at 2-bit quantization. Is it really better than the best 10-18B models?

    No, Apple Watch won't have the compute or the ram needed in 5-10 years. That will require 8-9 doublings in RAM and even more in compute.

    There are only 170 ground stations (about 100 in the US). So for someone living in rural america, it's really "famous last 300 miles".

    That $6700 is a $5000 upgrade over a base model Macbook Pro. $5000 in US Treasuries (currently at 4.89%) yields $244.5/yr. That's more than enough to cover the annual Claude Pro su…

    Looks like in your 2nd equation you've already assumed kinetic energy is quadratic with speed T = ½∑ⱼ mⱼ v⃗ⱼ²

    MSFT is also down 3.5% today, so there's just lots of volatility in big tech.

    Calgary is quite sunny at 2400 hrs/year. But not nearly as much as Vegas (3800) or LA (3250) or SF (2950).
