    I find it so strange when someone comments something like this. Nobody thinks this is okay or that Simon should have to play those games. The point of the reply was that while this…

    Well it doesn’t matter because the bottleneck here is actually quite small for me. The issue is vram. If anything the bottleneck is my 4080.

    Thanks! I did get feedback on all sorts of things over the years. One of them was to do with sentence lengths.

    I would bet my trillion-dollar company on it because I understand how RAM works.

    If you use NixOS, you don’t need to do any of that anymore. A single command in the CLI, and you have everything I do.

    I did mention that in my case I had the 4080, but you do not need the 4080 whatsoever. You can run the same model with less context on a single £200 V100 or with the same amount of…

    Well I did in fact meaningfully combined them without an issue, that was the whole point of the blogpost.

    GPTzero is a joke. It thinks this is AI: “I bought a datacenter GPU that doesn’t even have a normal PCIe connector, stuck it in my gaming PC with an adapter, and now I have 32GB of…

    Neither does this one. I replied in another thread. It comes out as 0% and the one from 2021 comes out as 8%. LLM detectors are all BS

    I have written the blog post. I know empirically that I have used 0% AI while writing it. I also know LLM detectors are total BS and they don't really work. I have tried a couple o…

    Not at all, no. I had this chat before about how I am one of those unlucky few that loved the way LLMs write nowadays since the mid-2000s. Slowly but surely, I had to remove my bel…
