Why is everyone being so damned precious about software? Software is not fine wine or a nice cigar.

If she’s rich and married a successful tech founder, I don’t understand why she didn’t get a lawyer to draft these investment papers to keep herself from getting fleeced. Like the amount she was dropping could probably have been recouped from a buyout without much fuss if the contracts were a bit more assertive.

You're correct about the weights: each machine could in fact store all of the weights. However I think you still have to transfer the activations and the KV-Cache while performing inference.

This is silly. If I’m only rebuilding 1 file out of a 200 file source base, I guarantee the non-unity build will be faster. Just the number of characters I have to tokenize in this thought experiment should be enough to convince. If this isn’t the case then you’re doing some sort of n^2 c++ boost every header includes most other headers shenanigans and you need to stop that rather than doing a unity build.

Length of time doing something doesn't imply mastery. It can contribute to mastery, but only if you're always pushing your skill to the next level I think.

For example: I know people who have been skateboarding for decades and are just barely OK at it. How you practice matters.

Headphones don’t require a treated room to sound excellent. Speakers will engage the natural acoustics of whatever space they live in and comb filtering will result. Almost always a great pair of headphones will beat a great pair of speakers in a listening test.

Then you weren't watching the video. They drew guns after entering the residence. They pointed them up the stairs where she said her husband and two children were. Thus they were pointing guns at her children. Watch the full video on her twitter account, it happens about 10-20 seconds into the video.

How can you all handle the low-resolution screen? I want one of those Lenovo laptops but with a higher resolution screen

The higher level languages are kind of the problem though. I need things like the ability to know the layout of my structs.
