the fastest space craft ever made was the Parker Solar probe (using a sling shot) clocking in at 692 000 km/h…
After 44 days of acceleration. On a multi-millennia mission we’re talking a velocity likely 300x what the Parker Solar Probe achieved (while falling into the Sun).
At their original price points, a set of four were a great solution for my requirements in tokens/second/$.
AC is not banned in Germany, but it is unGerman to have one.
You can’t pay your rent? But then where will you live?
Movie tickets are now easily $25 a seat.
Easily a 8k rental.
I thought true token use was being hidden by anthropic and openai both
Tragic.
It’s a matter of perspective. Cheaper to borrow today than in the years 1969-2005…
Except there’s a large hardware barrier to entry, which for now seems effective.
Related note. Cryptography has been subject to export controls for years and manufacturers bend into pretzels to meet the laws, regulations, and policies.
Incredible, but also scary if you think about what it may be lowering the barrier of entry to…
Could probably LoRA with that
He asserted that any country with its own language that did not have a sovereign LLM trained in that language was at a disadvantage as a globally trained, English-speaking LLM would not know about that country’s history, news and culture that was described in the local language.
I don’t know this is true. But whatever sounds true enough and gets funding seems to be what flies these days.
I used to work with HVAC companies, and I noticed that many of their customers mistakenly believed they were purchasing air conditioners. They didn’t consider these devices, which they connected to the internet, as computers. Despite being systems that required user names, passwords, updates, monitoring, and other maintenance, the prevailing attitude among these customers was, “This is an appliance, and why would anyone care about my air conditioner?”
All this to say, not even subject matter experts necessarily appreciate the risk involved in their work
I’m feeling more a novice every day, but how isn’t this just handing over your code to team deepseek for whatever they might want
Inversely, try to use a kindle as a Korean.
The Bottega Veneta of roof tiles.
I don’t find it at all reasonable that closed source models are more efficient. The people involved had different circumstances and it naturally affects their work
Lots of love!
Does the hammer lie to you that everything is a nail?
Can a voltmeter _lie_ to you?
EE are expected to know when their measurements are wrong. And Professional Engineers are legally accountable for consequences of such mistakes.
are [we] beginning to attribute too little mind to humans.
I don’t think this way of thinking started with LLM. Does Systems Based Thinking also attribute too little mind to humans?
South Korea?
For Microsoft, free isn’t free… It puts them in a position of advantage. However, I still agree this is abusing goodwill and is rather disgraceful.
I still think of The Unreasonable Effectiveness of Recurrent Neural Networks and related writings.
:<
metabolic pathways that span multiple species are common to the point that trying to isolate a given species’ contribution can miss the effect entirely.
What does this mean?
Perhaps somehow related to founding protestants fleeing catholic persecution. It’s the sort of thing that will leave the world blind.

Across 7000 languages in the world including non-latin alphabets…
I know your ipv4 address, 127.0.0.1. :)
There’s something to be said for human readable addresses. I’m a little nostalgic of how the .hack world was envisioned, where servers had address names like Hidden Forbidden Holy Ground.
If roughly 10 million words exist, then allowing any three words in order creates a space for 10^21 addresses… five words and you’re close to ipv6 address space, six words and there’s more combinations than ipv6 addresses.
