I like LLMs for what they are. Classifiers. I don’t trust them as search engines because of hallucinations. I use them to get a bearing on a subject but then I’ll turn to Google to do the real research.

So eventually you'll nuke them. But you don't think that will start WW3. Okey dokey.

And how would you safeguard the next regime? With F35s and bombers?

by elorant 2y ago
If you don't get boots on the ground you can't change the regime. Bombings alone would only weaken the infrastructure and probably lead local people to hate you even more. Plus in a conflict the opposite side retaliates. Once body

Because Syria is fragile, and so is Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Yemen. Those are all countries where Iran has very strong influence. The world isn't the same as it was 20 years ago, and Iran is way more powerful than what Iraq was back t

A ground invasion is an inevitability if you start bombing strategic installations.

Sure, here's one. Iran hits US military bases in UAE and Bahrain. Houthi rebels launch long-range missile attacks at Saudi Arabia's and UAE's oil installations. Hezbollah attacks Israel. At the strait of Hormuz Iran directly

Any type of action has a reaction. Iran can target US military bases all around Middle East. They can damage tankers passing the Persian Gulf causing havoc to worldwide markets.

Great. Let's end the war in Ukraine and start WW3 with Iran.

One of the reasons I'd like this bubble to burst is to see Nvidia's stock collapse. I'm sick and tired of their exuberant prices.

True. The only problem with lower quantization though is that the model fails to understand long prompts.

The average user won't self-host a model.

You don't need 16-bit quantization. The difference in accuracy from 8-bit in most models is less than 5%.

EUV lithography machines are borderline science fiction. I mean if you look at all the steps included it's mind boggling. Shooting tiny droplets of tin with two lasers at a speed of 50k times/second, harvesting uv light through at

That one hit me hard. I had just quit my job from a prestigious company the previous year to pursue my dream with two friends of building an internet related company and just a few months after we launched the market tanked. And it tanked s

But why did they choose to build this as a mobile cpu though? I don’t need 128GB of unified RAM on my laptop. It’s the desktop where things happen.

The new Mac Studio is great for this job too. With the Max chip you get 128GBs of unified RAM for $3.5k. Memory bandwidth is at 546GB/s which is good enough for most tasks.

I do too, but I still believe there is a bubble. Reason is that I can do most of my work with self-hosted models so there’s little need to pay for a subscription. Sure, I’m a minority for now because I’m tech savvy, but with that in mind it

Runs is an overstatement though. With 4 tokens/second you can't use it on production.
