...with prices and terms set by the model provider. AWS is not going to undercut Anthropic on Anthropic's models.

Yeah, this irks me. It's bad enough that the LLMs themselves are changing our language by tainting certain words/phrases/patterns as LLM-coded; now the companies themselves have de…

At least in the self-hosted LLM inference engines, you have to pre-allocate space for the maximum amount of context you want to allow for each parallel session. By using a lower ma…

Indeed. I used to be on the upgrade program so I could upgrade every year, but decided to skip the 16 and keep my 15 until the 17 came out. Even if you are upgrading every single y…

My (probably mis-)understanding of StubHub/Ticketmaster is that they're serving as sin eaters / reputation shields for the artists: Phase 1: - Artist lists tickets as "$20" - SH/TM…

It's also super fast on CPU.

Frankly, it's not really more insecure than any other installation method. Apt packages and the like generally have the ability to specify pre/post-install scripts, so `sudo dpkg -…
