I didn’t found TikTok addictive but rather utterly juvenile and amateurishly unsophisticated in recommendation algos. It kept inserting a lot of borderline soft-porn type content which I think keeps younger audience glued more than anything

I wonder if it was possible to create geospatial database of temperature, humidity, sunshine times, population density, air quality etc and then do queries to find regions of interest.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Fortran I developed in 1950s was 23K instructions. That was without fancy IDE and after spending 18 person years to develop. So, relatively, TP was obviously a very very tight code. Another comparison is

The most important detail here is 128GB ram for GPU computation! This allows to train monster models, ex 1B params GPT series, on single M1 Ultra. This is quite unprecedented. Unfortunately, it is also about 3.5x slower than 3090.

There are people who can resist this naturally. It’s like people who won’t eat the sugary stuff without having to put any effort. My theory is that this habit relates to available mental energy. When you are in low energy state, you can’t r
