The critical factor seems to be the ability to fit the whole model in RAM (--mlock option in oobabooga). With Apple's RAM prices most M1/M2 owners probably don't have the 32 GB RAM required to fit a 4bit 30B model.

None of the 3B and 7B models are at ChatGPT’s level, let alone GPT-4. The 13B models start doing really interesting things, but you don’t get near ChatGPT results until you move up to the best 30B and 65B models, which require beefier hardw

I think the opinion piece is overly reductive on what the strategy is, and that makes it easy to dismiss it in this way. Actually diving into the details paints a different picture. The actual EU strategy hinges on multiple interacting elem

Apple will make it annoying enough to sideload that no meaningful amount of users will do it, causing it to be largely irrelevant. It’s only worth it to app makers to have side loading if they can do it for large numbers of users, bypass th

I’ve worked on a codebase that had 300K lines of pl/sql and I didn’t find it all that fun to work with. The problem is that you are working in a very constrained environment, starved of language features and libraries, and with a deplo

Counterpoint: archiving costs money, even for public domain content. Who pays the archivist, if not the users of the archive? And the more obscure a work is, the fewer users of that work the cost can be spread over, so the oldest and most o

Users publish their messages to multiple relays, and they can be followed by others on multiple relays. The idea is that if a relay starts censoring, then users and their followers can choose different relays, so the system as a whole “rout

It depends on what the ledger does. If the ledger is tracking transactions that occur somewhere else and for some reason a transaction is entered incorrectly then immutability will prevent the ledger from being corrected to reflect reality.

Your characterization of “dumb people” as somehow being more prone to misinformation is inaccurate and disrespectful. Highly intelligent people are as prone to irrational thinking, and some research suggests even more prone. Go look at some

Show me a reliable way to set a time limit on social media, and I’ll concede the point. You can set a time limit on particular paths to reach social media, but as I saw with trying to block youtube, it is effectively impossible without bloc

Ads have very little to do with the harmful effects on minors of social media use. And besides, banning ads will not prevent social media from trying to lock minors in, either to already have them when they turn 18, or to benefit from peer

Creativity is making unexpected connections, applying a twist that doesn’t logically follow from what came before. This is the opposite of what these models are designed to do, which is to give the most likely next word. On the other hand,

Most of the criticism of those policies is false or misleading. You always need to be careful to research the actual policy instead of the media soundbite as the two usually diverge quite a bit. There are perverse incentives at work. When t

Isn’t it just fair use? Reading the four factor test for fair use it seems like these generative models should be able to pass the test, if each artwork contributes only a small part to a transformative model that generates novel output. Th
