Also, about the non-determinism issue, there was a post some time ago and that comes from the way the GPU does the calculations, something something floating point something. So of course the algorithm is deterministic, but the real-life i

Yes, that means just a multi gig file. The hard part of LLMs (and current AI in general) is training, which is orders of magnitude harder than inference. If somehow we had a way to travel to the future in the 70s, train the models and then

I agree. In Windows whenever I need to connect my BT headset I have to re-pair it, otherwise I get just speakers, no mic.

There's nothing wrong using cooperative multitasking in embedded systems for an example. Heck, there's nothing wrong using anything anywhere, it's a question of fulfilling the requirements.

So it's like a canary: the senator has the answer but wants to make it public. If the answer was "no" then he wouldn't be pushing for it, so the answer is obviously yes, they are buying data of american citizens in bulk,

Finally a good programming font. There's always a catch, 0 vs O, l vs. | vs I, ( too similar to [ (looking at you B612), but this, this one seems to cover all the bases. Sad about the pricing. For the developed world it's Ok, bu
