Some people may be willing to travel but don't know where the best place to go is.

It's going to be GPT-3.5turbo not GPT4. As others have mentioned, binggpt/bard are also free.

These smaller models are a relatively cheap to run, especially in high batches.

I'm sure there will also be aggressive rate limits.

They've been designing their own chips a while now, including with an NPU.

Also because of their unified memory design, they actually have insane bandwidth which is incredibly useful for LLMs. IMO they may have a head-start in that respect for on-device inference of large models (e.g. 1B+ params).

The flash doesn't do the computations though, that's just a method of getting it to the processor

I think there's clear social impairment. Making friends is harder and it takes more "manual" effort to socialize "effectively".

However much of this social impairment may or may not be a real problem. "special interests" and "obsessing over one topic" is an impairment in social scenerios, but can be extremely beneficial for tasks related to that special interest.

> We're currently working with professional to improve our domain rating, ensuring you receive the quality backlinks needed to boost your SEO. Please be patient. It might take a while.

The irony in this is magical.

I highly suggest you remarket as a collection of some type of link a la product hunt. Tech startups, cool apps, anything.

"backlink service" is literally just "seo spam" on it's own.

What?

Are you asking if the framework automatically quantizes/prunes the model on the fly?

Or are you suggesting the LLM itself should realize it's too big to run, and prune/quantize itself? Your references to "intelligent" almost leads me to the conclusion that you think the LLM should prune itself. Not only is this a chicken and egg problem, but LLMs are statistical models, they aren't inherently self bootstraping.

For me GPT4 seems to suggest more generic unittests in python. They're much more "Put tests here", or "path.to.dependency".

Claude3 opus (and often Sonnet) actually fills in the full dependency paths, actually makes tests, and just overall seems to "know what I want from it".

> you do not divulge details of your training data.

FWIW asking LLMs about their training data is generally HEAVILY prone to inaccurate responses. They aren't generally told exactly what they were trained on, so their response is completely made up, as they're predicting the next token based on their training data, without knowing what they data was - if that makes any sense.

Let's say it was only trained on the book 1984. It's response will be based on what text would most likely be next from the book 1984 - and if that book doesn't contain "This text is a fictional book called 1984", instead it's just the story - then the LLM would be completing text as if we were still in that book.

tl;dr - LLMs complete text based on what they're trained with, they don't have actual selfawareness and don't know what they were trained with, so they'll happily makeup something.

EDIT: Just to further elaborate - the "innocent" purpose of this could simply be to prevent the model from confidently making up answers about it's training data, since it doesn't know what it's training data was.

> But the biggest reason why PostgreSQL would not change its license is the disservice it would do to all PostgreSQL users. It takes a long time to build trust in a technology that is often used for the most critical part of an application: storage and retrieval of data

> Changing the license of PostgreSQL would shatter all of the goodwill the project has built up through the past (nearly) 30 years.

I love Postgres and I have no reason to think they would change their license. But IMO any type of "it would be a disservice to users" is useless. This blog post itself is in response to Redis changing their license after 15 years. Surely this would be a disservice to their users?

Businesses have proven time and time again - They will absolutely cause a "disservice to users" or "harm the product" once money is involved.

Again I recognize the way PostgresQL is structured gives me hope this wouldn't happen, but a simple "we wouldn't break user trust" is meaningless.

> NASA, which follows the federal government’s General Schedule pay scales, offers starting salaries along a range that starts at $54,557 for engineers with bachelor’s degrees, $66,731 for master’s degrees and $73,038 for doctorates at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.

I know people likely want to join NASA for more than the salary. But that's brutal.
