not in the UK. Which is why I asked. I can name 4 cities easily where you're paying mortgage+extra driven by the "buy-to-let" craze over here. I'll assume you mean the UK is a phenomena in that case.

Ok. Now try to separate the "learning the language" from "learning the data". If we have a model pre trained on language does it then learn concepts quicker, the same or different? Can we compress just data in a lossy in

In what possible scenario is burning cash vs keeping a fraction of it a bad financial decision? I can only imagine it makes financial sense to rent if you live somewhere where you're not paying off someone else's mortgage and are

In the UK it comes off the back of "decolonize this" and "imperialism bad that". Frankly I'm fed up of it over here and it's a shame this is being replicated in countries built a lot more strongly on actual mod

Been trying to work out how to put all of this together locally but didn't know bake existed, looks awesome. Any chance of looking into 9p for rootfs? I've been wanting to grab images, extract locally and then launch the image in

Qudos to the author. I keep beating on the drum that they correctly point out. It's not perfect. But it saves hours and hours of work in generating compared to small conceptual debugging. The era of _needing_ teams of people to spit ou

Yep, they cooperate to a point and then decide that they're doing their own thing anyway. This isn't new. When they were small nobody cared about firewire (even if it was better). Then they did it with lightning to keep hold of th

Yes and working out how to disentangle the information storage mechanisms from say language processing is a massive area of interest. Only problem with Attention Transformers imo is that they're a bit too good :p Imagine a slightly los

Shame, at the very least I was hoping this would lead to approaching someone to work as a go between. (I find it difficult to believe nobody tried to step up to that position either)

Context window length with further fine tuning and a good system prompt... Nothing too much different other than anthro correctly banked on larger context windows (and stability with training/eval) is the key to massive improvements.

No. This went into overdrive in the "AI" (crawlers for massive LLM for ML chatbot) era. Frankly it's something I'm sad we don't yet see a lawsuit for similar to the times v OpenAI. A lot of "new crawlers"

Personal computing, best now it's flav djour we get to slam on cloud based approaches to everything being what they always were. Wasteful, slow and privacy invasive... But still can't just plainly say cloud has been mostly bad.

LLMs are not meant to be infallible it's meant to be faster. Repeat after me, token prediction is not intelligence.
