   MacBook Pro M4 with Pro/Max CPUs are 3-4x faster on multicore benchmarks compared to Air's M4. Air M4 is not enough for my heavy usage of multiple browsers, agents, scripts, and different spinoffs of VS Code at the same time. What

   One way is using niacin in high doses, also known as vitamin B3, as an active placebo to induce a sensation of heat and cause the skin to flush red, which is a typical reaction to tryptamines. The rest is a regular placebo. It can be a real

    I need a product like this(currently using a limited in-house version), but I'm not paying $125k/year/seat to get locked into a black box ecosystem that might change or get shut down in a year. We are using LLMs to analyze co

    I felt that it was really easy to get consumed by money/power when I started making serious income. To feel that I'm better than other people. And I mean that in the context of running my own company, which meant I could make very

    I'm not sure if that's what you're asking, but there are specific maliciously fine-tuned LLMs like WormGPT/FraudGPT/DarkBERT. I believe that FraudGPT is the current SOTA and is a Mistral fine-tune made by malicious
