NMT doesn't "contain" tranformers and deep RNNs, it can use them. LLMs use a transformer architecture, not everything using a transformer architecture is an LLM. NMT can actually use an LLM, but that's not the case according to the documentation you linked, they use a parallel dataset to train their models.

I'm lucky. I'm lucky because I didn't ever have to try hard at anything in my life, and I have a good life.

I was born from two parents that cared about me. Luck

In a country where most people have a decent shot at life. Luck

I'm lazy, but I was granted a body that never failed me, and was pushed by people around me to try stuff. Luck

I'm lazy, but my laziness is somehow useful in this computer driven world. Luck

All this luck compounds, and thanks to the activities I was pushed to do, the schools I was pushed to go to, I was lucky to meet great friends, an amazing girlfriend, and have a cushy job, a nice house in a beautiful place. Luck. Luck. Luck. Luck

I have no ambition, I was never prepared for anything, but all I've had was luck.

That's what you call luck, and a lot of people try to convince themselves everything good that happens to them is because they somehow deserve it. Because they were "ambitious" and "prepared", and an "opportunity" struck at the right time, and obviously they seized it, and everyone that didn't just didn't deserve it as much as them.

Obviously some people weren't as lucky as me, and actually had to work hard, and managed to seize an actual opportunity that wasn't gifted to them. But that's not all luck, only a little part is. And those people are quite rare.

It's crazy how the hardware sector just can't grasp that software is actually important too. Everywhere I've worked at we were just second class citizens, last to get a new hire or any budget, and then it was our fault when the software was subpar. It seems like they think going down to our level will actually sully them.

I think what makes a lot of people talk about it precisely is this:

"This is a 10/10 phishing email."

It's not. But it doesn't mean I wouldn't also fall for it because I was tired/in a hurry or whatever else could let me drop my guard.

Humans are humans.

According to this https://github.com/the-pudding/data/tree/master/pockets data, only 27.5% of women's jeans and 97.5% of men's jean could fit a phone wider than 72mm in their front pocket. While not a common truth, it is a little annoying.

For this phone in particular, it's 5% for women and 85% for men. Assuming a lot of things, the majority of the population cannot fit this in their pocket.

It's hard to find research about this, but I think a lot of people might think that yes, phones are too big. (And that's not even thinking about hand size and how it affect comfort of use).

I heard a lot of people saying hosting your own email server was the best way to be considered as spam by every big email provider. I think it's a big issue, but I've never actually tried it.

So all of the cheatsheet is basically "it's not bad because there are worse things"?

You can try explaining why it's not "that" bad for the environment, the planet is still worse off than when it didn't exist.

Let's carry on inventing new ways to spend energy, but it's ok because we still spend more energy for other stuff.

It's kinda sad how the world saw climate change, said it was bad, but in the end decided to do nothing about it.

I do think this wasn't excluded by the benchmarks from the link I posted

Edit: actually it was, cheetah seems to come with 0.33, not 0.31, and benchmarks were done in 0.31. It would be interesting to run them with 0.33.
