They also said in the paper that 405B was only trained to "compute-optimal" unlike the smaller models that were trained well past that point indicating the larger model still had some runway so had they continued it would have kep

I have a ton of these I keep in the spaced repetition software Anki. I use spaced repetition to remember a lot of stuff but I have a specific "life lessons" section to record things I learn about myself and other little life hacks

Here's a couple of practical tips. A very powerful method for remembering facts long term is spaced repetition. There's a go-to app called Anki that makes it easy to get started. A good write up on how it works and why is here: h

I'm using Debian 11 with LXDE on an M1 iPad Pro and it's surprisingly useable. I can use this. I'd recommend trying it out and seeing for yourself.

Between the hallucinations and over the top agreeableness I have a hard time finding LLMs useful as a reliable learning aid. First you have to disentangle what output is factual from what it's just making up and then you have to be car

When QQQ and SMH close under the 200 day moving average I'll sell my TQQQ and SOXL repectively. Until then, party on! It's been a wild ride.

You can run Wine and Windows applications on Android quite effectively with https://github.com/brunodev85/winlator So I imagine this will be at least as good.

The bright side is over the last couple of years I've been broken of my lust for every new device that comes out promising "newer and shinier." The reality is it's the same old locked down slab just a little faster with

I made a month's salary buying the dip after the Reuter's story broke then selling the rip back up when Elon refuted it. They can play that game every single day for all I care.

So the A17 still benchmarks over 30% faster than the Cortex X4 in single threaded tasks. Sounds about right based on my subjective experience.

Publish your data and prepare to get vilified by professional complainers because the data doesn't conform to their sensibilities. Lots of downside with very little of the opposite.

The beautiful thing is even if it fails spectacularly to follow instructions you can canonically just chalk it up to GlaDOS being GlaDOS!

The ease with which LLMs mimic mundane human behavior has, in some small ways, helped me prioritize my own thoughts and actions. I'll be doing something and realize an LLM could easily perform this action, complete this thought, have t

What lofty goals? The board was questioned repeatedly and never articulated clear reasoning for firing Altman and in the process lost the confidence of the employees hence the "rally". The lack of clarity was their undoing whether

The board couldn't even clearly articulate why they fired Sam in the first place. There was a departure from critical thinking but I don't think it was on the part of the employees.
