the cost between an F1 car and a "regular" car is high, both financially and functionally.

but tsrs and tsgo are not a similar comparison. they cost the same (you download a binary and run it) and are functionally identical. in that case why would you not use the faster & better one?

the question should be, do you always want your groceries 50% faster ?

incredible work and effort.

I'm curious about the economics of these. who funds these endeavors and why? who makes the decision on spending $X for quality of life improvement on a hornbill vs saving a few rhinos.

because in a world where you see humans without basic stuff to live with, this is a fascinating economic alignment with a different species

this is funny because I know so many people who always note down phone numbers and such for the day on cigarette packs. sometimes even carrying a few with them all the time.

in india.

is it possible that this is the bump due to your workouts and not plainly creatine ?

I take creatine daily but when I'm working out more than a couple of weeks, i feel much better than on weeks when I skip working out.

I was quite inspired by jev-like and built jev compatible layer built on top of gemma.

on my local benchmarks and my personal problems gemma works very well. but training a new attention head for better results in narrow domains should be much easier.

this is a fantastic metaphor. I'm going to borrow it.

> exchange value in the captitalist political economy.

how can one exist in modern society without being an exchange value in the capitalist political economy?

linux is where it is because it is able to be a critical part of said capitalist political economy. even if you want to be a FOSS contributor all your life, you need someone to figure out the "economy" part of it.

food is a false equivalence in this case.

I've taken a few law classes and legal law is frustratingly hard to interpret. I shudder to think what the LLM would end up doing to "follow all relevant laws"

look these up for a fascinating weekend read:

- Beavers and Capybaras are Fish

- Bees are Fish

- Carrots are fruits

- Tomatoes are Vegetables

- X-men are not human

this was me in 2015 in India. only because the inspector wouldn't see anything other than a 500 rupees note.

I'm sure these things are in the plans from upper management.

we'll know when the next layoffs hit.

not sure why you're getting downvoted. but if you're building even very popular applications, it is quite easy to see how LLMs are very well suited for this type of consistency job.

- they follow instructions quite well.

- are tireless at doing mechanical ports between languages and frameworks.

- Can understand a new ecosystem quite well.
