Gemini isn't great as a model, googles search and ability to cite textbooks down to the paragraph make it better than every other model for human in the loop tasks. I end up using …

Gemini's highest tier of plan has the utility of Google search circa 2010. I'm paying $400 for the privilege.

Training data without the training regime is useless. A cake is not open source because they list the ingredients.

Their 30 year plan is to move to nuclear for base load, and they are on track to manage it. The only people who think China is moving to a pre 2020 like western grid are people who…

Do you understand what baseload means?

You do realize that a fully utilised GPU uses about 10 to 50 times more power than an idling one?

Cheaper doesn't mean cheap.

Cheap cloth didn't mean cheap clothes. You had to wait a century for the sewing machine for that to happen.

Becuase they would quit and work anywhere else after a few days. In 1913 Ford had to hire over 52,000 workers just to maintain an active factory workforce of 14,000. https://www.fo…

2026 - 200 = 1826 Yeah no. It's only since 1950 that conditions improved for everyone. Before then everything from sewage, to coal smoke, to chronically low wages made life worse f…

Eventually well formatted blogs won't be a symbol of effort and no one will care.

I find that I'm much more tolerant of bad spelling and terrible punctuation because I know that a human being wrote it in the end. It's kind of hilarious that a sign of poor qualit…

If you'd like to buy the report drop an email on my profile to talk about price.
