What’s different is the US is wayyyyy richer and more comfortable than any time previously in history, or at least was until recently (in terms of PPP of the avg person). When you grow up in those conditions, it’s like you’re the kid of a r

In my experience it’s largely tracking SDKs, as well as other metric SDKs. Facebook here, data dog there… it all adds up. Then add images and other assets and you have a large app.

Does it run in 8x80G? Or does the KV cache and other buffers push it over the edge?

You have to start somewhere. Even a not great solution can set the president, with goals to gradually increase the efficiency. Mandates can do a lot — just look at the catalytic converter. Put it on all HVAC systems and _something_ will hap

Makes me wonder if ACs should have built in scrubbers. If that was the norm everywhere, you’d have some mild effect going on at scale.

Except the title (previously) said homebrew replacement. So when it doesn’t say why/what, and there’s no context, people are going to be confused.

The speed of homebrew has never been limiting factor (for me). I think there are far more important factors in what’s maintainable or not than language, and homebrew is very easy to install. There has to be more important reasons to replace

I’d suggest even if the TTS sounded good, I’d still rather a human because: 1. It’s a job that seems worthwhile to support, especially as it’s “practice” that only adds to a lifetime of work and improves their central skill set 2. A voice a

I disagree. They got software that’s open under a different license that otherwise would have just been purely proprietary, or not created at all (due to the compounding effects of open source)

And then the world started moving on, with other licenses that gave even more freedom and flexibility. It was a great start, but you need to adapt or you perish.
