Throwaway acct. sort of. Not so much anymore. More like pseudonymous. Because of privacy. Trying to offend equally.

My northstars: without privacy, there cannot be freedom; affordable access to quality education should be available to everyone ; baseline healthcare should be available for everyone, without insurance, at an affordable cost. These are or should be civil rights issues.

I hope next up is the performance and bloat that the LLMs can try and improve.

Especially on perf side I would wager LLMs can go from meat sacks what ever works to how do I solve this with best available algorithm and architecture (that also follows some best practises).

Is there a 'HW' guide to show the expected performance of Vulkan compute codecs anywhere?

And while at it, ability to mount the resulting archives at some virtual root in nginx|apache. E.g. serve site-archive.extension at /somepath/site. And standalone simple webserver that can take one or more archives from command line and servers them.

Any reason it couldn't run on Raspberry Pi? Also, I have some ZHA sensors that I believe are also on 2.4GHz band - will this interfere with them?

This is awesome! I wish Omega, Zenith, Seiko and other watch manufacturers would do the same and publish their historic catalogs online! And auto manufacturers, and really everyone who is in the kind of business where catalogs like this exists.

I think models will also become snapshots or time capsules (with obvious and non-obvious biases) that archaeologists of tomorrow (like in 500 years) will use to understand us and the change in society (e.g. how the models themselves change over timefrom encyclopaedic standpoint).

What is the current hypothesis on if the context windows would be substantially larger, what would this enable LLMs to do that is beyond capabilities of current models (other than the obvious the now getting forgetful/confused when you’ve exhausted the context)?
