I don't know if it's only first-generation, the jury will be out on that one for a long time, perhaps many generations there is a clear pattern, which Dawkins seems to embody, that new atheists are MORE religious than their parent

yep, even better in unmaintained consoles, where the popular demand for concrete binaries is pretty much set in stone and you can even aim to complete the entire library of software binaries over time - as they're usually in the hundre

yes, then you go for the subsystem route as in MacOS Classic or Win32 perhaps worth a shot but I seriously doubt the compatibility is going to be worth enough for enough people, instead of just running an emulator

why would you bother with the overhead to make it Palm-compatible though? at most, an emulation subsystem might make sense, but having all things including new development run in a Palm-compatible system right now makes no sense. Note that

I believe he was always aware of this, but thought it was different this time because of wide access to information and technology, etc. Reading that, it does sound like a sort of religious belief, but that's how he (Dawkins) had posed

Some are, some aren't. See Koala for instance. The problem with Koala is that it fine-tunes on open sourced data, but makes no claims about the data for the base LLaMA models. https://bair.berkeley.edu/blog/2023&#x

FreeDOS is exactly what I was describing. Makes sense to use that old software, but not to actually develop for these days. Because you'd be imposing weird anachronistic restrictions on yourself for no good reason.

Well, that does make sense. It wasn't a slight at you. I appreciate good work and also recreational computing. But is reviving Palm a practical endeavour? Nope, sorry. The emulator is a good idea for whatever abandonware people might w

As much as I love retro stuff I see no point in reviving Palm. It's like bringing back MS-DOS, perhaps you have something ready made for that environment and you want to use it as is because you don't want to relearn some newer in

Canadianfella's reply is dead so I'll reply here. Eventually Symbian (sp?) was better and when Sony killed their Zire division I just have Palm Treo one last chance. It was a bit laggy and the battery didn't last long enough.

You cannot heavily quantise models and assume they didn't degrade significantly. To run it properly you need a lot more than a Mac Studio, and then comparisons need to be done more or less seriously, not just a few random prompts, beca

his conclusion is simultaneously not warranted and correct a like-for-like comparison would be GPT-4 against the larger models like LLaMA 65B, but those cannot be run on consumer-grade hardware so one ends up comparing the stuff one can run
