also LLM providers optimize your request routing to a cheaper model sometimes, I wonder if there is a way to structure prompt that will route to a large (more expensive, and arguably better) model for better results

yes, exactly, annas-archive is the modern robin-hood that frees up the knowledge. it is not a theft, because people using annas-archive were not going to buy a book in the first place and publishers incomes didnt drop due to annas-archive

yes, if you add VAT and remove taxes from authors' incomes, it becomes even more laughable. its really might be better to publish for free and create a buy me a coffee

they already work almost for free, since all the money goes to the publisher and retailer. out of $20 book, the authors earn about $1 - $1.5, for e-books its about $1.7 - $2 The value from book sales goes to retailer and publisher: two larg

I think the main barrier to reusing batteries right away is that the batteries need to be checked to make sure the charge level is consistent. all batteries should be roughly on equal level of charge, so that the whole unit performs optima

because they can do, but doesn't mean they will do that. You know what else VW can do: price each car at million dollar MSRP minimum, to make more money, but they dont do that. What do you think holds them from jacking up prices to $1

just multiply the monthly payment by 12*6 (avg time to own a car) and imagine giving the full amount upfront to the dealer for the full horsepower. I dont understand why people balk at car subscription for some feature, but perfectly fine w
