Agreed. From first hand experience, even for regulated electricity markets, games get played to maximize profit per power generated that are directly making stability worse. Fixing these loop holes is hard for the regulator since they are i

I'm so glad there are tools like this and swing back to selfhosted solutions, especially leveraging SSH tooling. Well done and thanks for sharing, will definitely be giving it a spin.

Claude and others are still in the adoption phase so the services are good, and not user hostile as they will be in the extraction phase. Hopefully by then some agreement on how to setup RAG systems for actual human constructed documentatio

Again, it's a value judgement, so the answer is largely personal. For me, yes. The social license we give these larger companies after all the violated trust doesn't make sense. If your local shop owner/operator that you talk

Different strokes for different folks. Motivation for me has been a combination of independence and mistrust. Every single one of the larger tech companies have shown their priority to growth above making good products and services, and not

Makes sense. Appreciate the responses. Honestly though, as a person outside the US, I'm removing my dependence on US company IT tools and infrastructure, GitHub, VSCode, AWS etc, enterprise or otherwise.. Congrats on the project though

Thanks. I worry about these kind of tools connecting to production databases.. Especially considering how easy it is to switch out LLM endpoints, where that data is going, how it is retained, the context etc becomes a bit of a privacy night

by layoric 1y ago
Out of interest.. does the resultant data get used by the LLM or just generating SQL, executing and returning separately?

They will likely just charge a lot more money for these services. Eg, the $200+ per months I think could become more of the entry level in 3-5 years. Saying that smaller models are getting very good, so there could be low margin direct mode

There are several papers pointing towards 'thinking' output is meaningless to the final output, and using dots, or pause tokens enabling the same additional rounds of throughput result in similar improvements. So in a lot of regar

Source? They did a $40B funding round for which Softbank is on the hook for most of it, and they are going into debt cause they don't have the cash either [0]. IMO, these acquisitions are due to the fact they know just selling the mode

Obsession is a bit much, but one of the few genuinely "for the public good" institutions remaining. Others we have seen get hollowed out or replaced. A lot of hard work has and does go into providing the services that the BoM does

I've been using Mistral Medium 3 last couple of days, and I'm honestly surprised at how good it is. Highly recommend giving it a try if you haven't, especially if you are trying to reduce costs. I've basically switched f

Inequality getting worse is definitely going to start impacting company sales more and more. IMO we are watching the math of perpetual "growth" hit a finite world.

A big difference here is the sheer scale of investment. In 1985, the internet was running on the dreams of a few. The sheer depth of investment in "AI" currently is hard to fathom, and being injected into everything regardless of
