I'm not sure if I would consider tech demos like this state of the art. They look impressive and they do show promise but there's a huge gap between an impressive demo and a usable product. This goes for Google Gemini as well.

Have you ruled out the possibility that you have a bad stove?

My understanding is that battery degradation is not linear with time.

Oh wow, now I can finally have terminal that creates fire effects the faster I type! (if I ever get the time to make the plugin)

Is there anyway for plugins to interact with shaders?

I'm with you. I thought this was going to be an article about Numba.

Can you expand on that? Efficient in what way?

Do you have any example prompts or suggestions for coming up with them?

Absolutely! I just picked up a 2023 for $17k. It's basically the perfect commuter car.

Your point aside, counting letters is not a good task for LLMs since they aren't trained on letters. They are trained on tokens which represent words or parts of words.

How do you know this? Did you take a survey? When? What if preferences change or there is no consensus?

There are lots of things that can be done with the training set that don't involve retraining the entire model from scratch. As a random example, I could perform a statistical analysis over a portion of the training set and find a series of vectors in token-space that could be used to steer the model. Something like this can be done without access to the training data, but does it work better? We don't know because it hasn't been tried yet.

But none of that really matters, because what we're discussing is the philosophy of open source. I think it's a really bad take to say that something is open source because it's in a "preferred" format.

Preferred by who? It sounds like these people have a strong say in what constitutes open source.

I dunno, it seems pretty clear to me that's what they're trying to do.
