I believe it is a bit too much to call the article nonsense. The process described mirrors what we have been doing in Machine Learning for a long time: You setup a training set and validation set, put it through system under test and draw c

I really hope we don't get a new version of the "You cannot view this webpage because you are in the EU", this time for LLMs.

That's what I thought throughout the article. I wonder if it is a typo or the author is confused about East and West?

That works both ways. Imagine that they had regulated the internet as it was starting to appear in the 90s? It actually happened in a small way here in Portugal. They regulated the .pt domain in such a restrictive way that it became irrelev

We, in Europe, are jumping the gun way too soon and this will have serious consequences to the industry, here. At this moment we barely understand how or why LLMs do what will be their role in society. Why is it that some bureaucrats want t

You are right but such is the state of checkups and that is reflected in this study.

At least I have an anecdote that produces a large percentage of the beef and dairy consumed in Portugal. I fail to see proper data from anyone else showing the contrary elsewhere.

Pretty much all the beef production is done in grazing fields as it is cheaper and less work. It is only the bulk up that is done in feed lots (1-3 months before going to the abbatoir). There is even pasture finished beef production where c

I live in a very small island where the main industry has been cattle (meat and milk production) for several decades. If the urine of the cows was toxic, the island would have been deserted a long time ago. It is as green as it has ever bee

Llama has a 65B model and it runs (albeit slowly) on a 64gb Mac Studio with llama.cpp.

Can you link to instructions specific to the Mac. I can only find instructions for Alpaca with GPUs and PCs.

That's exactly it, thaks for providing the missing context. As a youngster, I was a big fan of Edison and read a lot about him back then.

Yes, that I recall reading about, there were even competing DC grids and AC grids. I think Edison's was DC.

I had this conversation with fellow developers but about software. If all software is generated then the state of the art will be stuck at the time of the last human made project. This assumes, of course, that the AI generated software won&

I have also seen it working on a Mac Studio with 64Gb of RAM. It is quite slow, not unbearably so, but slow.

According to: https://towardsdatascience.com/run-bloom-the-largest-open-ac... You only need 16Gb of RAM: "A BLOOM checkpoint takes 330 GB of disk space, so it seems unfeasible to run this model on a desktop computer. H

The point is that we know many things as facts that we cannot explain. We may be looking for the explanation but, as of yet, we don't know why many things are as they are (as in the example above). Actually, LLMs are also a good exampl

There is a compromise that you can do if you are short for time. Buy a bread maker with a timer. You add the ingredients before going to bed and it will bake overnight and will be ready in time for breakfast. It is not the same thing as ha

This is a simple me too. I have had a Xeon (65W TDP) cooled with NoFan 24/7 for some 5 years. It began as my main developer machine and is now a proxmox server. It just works.

Back in 1989 I, by chance, took a Russian univeristy professor that was visiting Portugal to the largest supermarket in Lisbon. As far as I rememmber, we had to buy some food to take home and cook her a meal and the supermarket was in the w

If you live in Portugal for longer than 6 months every 12 months you are considered a resident and taxed accordingly. I suppose you could go in and out every few months to escape that.
