It's early so I'm thinking out loud here but I don't think the algorithm scales like this, does it? We're talking about something that can search a list of size N in sqrt(N) iterations. Splitting the problem in two does

Doing 2^76 iterations is huge . That's a trillion operations a second for two and a half thousand years if I've not slipped up and missed a power of ten.

Phones are also often paid for too. If you had a keyboard + screen + battery and could just clip your phone in that would feel like a pretty nice setup. Bonus there is that it's one place for all your data. Alternatively, on the data s

TBH it's easily in the other direction. If I can get something to clients quicker that's more valuable. If paying this gets me two days of consulting it's a win for me. Obvious caveat if cheaper setups get me the same, alth

The field of ai is far older than that, my degree was in artificial intelligence starting in 2005 so before the dnn boom with rbms (I was replicating them only in my masters, I think it was more 2008ish that became a bigger topic?)

What redefinition? SVMs were part of AI and they're far simpler. The field of AI has covered basic algorithms for decades before LLMs.

Does aws charge ingress? I've got a good connection for the UK but still about a 100 meg upload. I have external drives that are 4TB, so if everything goes perfectly that could take about two full days to upload.

LLMs are nothing like Markov chains I've come across or worked with. I've never used a markov chain trained with anywhere near the number of states you'd need. This feels like saying "it's just if statements".

I can also run this all locally, my point was more that at the worst right now the most advanced model (afaik, I'm not personally benchmarking) paid for at the headline rates, for a huge content library, costs such a reasonable amount

Probably quite expensive over the whole catalog but the Berkley content would be cheap to do. If it's, say, 5000 hours then through the best model at assembly.ai with no discounts it's cost less than $2000. I know someone could do

The problem is that having that rule results in those 1%s always being excluded. It's probably worth just going back and looking at the arguments for laws around accessibility.
