This is gonna be great to finetune on. There's only so many boards of canada/aphex twin songs out there but I wish there were more and this will let us generate more.

I keep thinking back to when we didn't have stabilityai and it was just google and meta teasing us with mouth watering papers but never letting us touch them. I'm so thankful stability exists.

There probably is a cool mix of both that is better than either one separately. I'm thinking something like func = llm('function that sorts two input argument lists') where llm calls openai or a local llm (cached for l

Fun to imagine the lives of the developers making these things. Hardware/software coding in 90s japan.

7b runs on my 4gb vram machine (8gb memory). I.e. quantization helps a lot too

The most plausible explanation I've seen (other than the carmack 'sudden grokking' beyond the cutoff idea) is that they're planning to release llama3 sooner than later with some arcitecture changes for even better perfor

Python etc drama has historically been strong arguments about the future of various parts of the language. This is way different, this is bickering, personal attacks etc. I have nothing against healthy criticism and debate focused on making

I'm assuming it is unserious, the use of the word "fiasco" is a tell. The fact that it's unserious but still made into a big fuss is an even bigger warning sign in my eyes to steer clear.

Makes me want to distance myself from ever delving into the language knowing this is the drama the culture is engaging in.

A lot of people were just born into this too. People under 27 or so have never known anything other than this pretty much.

That's true for driverless cars but there's many areas where you don't need 100% to be useful. Stable diffusion and LLMs are 90% there but still very useful and cool.

8x4090 machines should be a lot cheaper than that. 1599*8=12,792. I.e. closer to 16x4090 machines. Sure labor is worth something but he has it in cash, and also there's barely a lot of people (yet) paying high prices for research (non

A16z is getting 'mad respect' from me for taking this line of the 'ai wars' and generally their attitude on all this. Really cool that they're going straight into 2010 era startup energy on this new wave. Idk I just

I think it's a generally practiced strategy at this point to spew out blog dev posts on company blogs to build SEO or act as an ad, regardless of quality.

Que substack becoming medium and 'stacksub' popping up with a new clean interface to take the users. Rinse and repeat and we never learn.

Tangent but if you 'value' your time but don't use the time to entertain yourself I'm not sure you're using it right.

You can probably beat the game in two weekends though, just FYI. I haven't felt that much need to replay it since then (though I'll probably try Space Age) but it's great fun.

It's funny how this is faster and more responsive than my actual windows desktop window manager experience (speed of opening apps etc).

The only one I subtly disagree with is "comments should be substantive". What it discourages I think is comments like "thanks" or other really 'unsubstantive' comments. It's true that maybe it adds noise,
