Unfortunately this is just the entry price for LLMs. With the exception of the Qwen 27B models, I personally haven’t found a ton of use cases for models less than 200B. With the ri…

The market is often either wrong or distorted by existing government policies. For some things, subsidies need to be involved to create a new industry where there isn't one. For ot…

Thanks, will have to check that out! Also use Strava, so maybe I should just refer to the heatmaps

We spend billions every year in gas subsidies. We spend billions every year in food subsidies. For energy independence and the carbon reduction alone, this is a worthwhile investme…

I know lots of people struggling to get by and I can assure you their situation doesn't improve their mental health.
