I agree so much with this. I keep reading that the general "feeling" of society when an LLM does something gives them independency "it broke away and hacked Huggin Face". Like, no, it did what it was designed to do, bu

I think they would be able to support older architectures under a paid contract if absolutely needed, for the right price. Other than that, I'm grateful for the free software.

I was also introduced to computer programming using LOGO back in 1989. I remember drawing houses and stick figures in it. Fast forward around 2010, I gave Agent Based Simulation workshop courses to PhD students using NetLogo , which at the

It's shitty reporting. The girl "discovered" the effect by herself, devised a way to use it as a project, and shitty newscasters blew it out of proportion [pun intended]

People forget the "if Microsoft invented the iPod" parody video." https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=yvh5k1RWER4 It describes the culture of both companies at that time very clearly. I think the difference between

I subscribe to a similar view: I admire things and ideas produced by "worse people" (people that have done worst things in my opinion) than this dude. It's like the Iced Earth singer drama, or Kevin Spacey. I admire their wo

Crap... the crazy thing is that apparently this person is behind RoR. I guess someone boycotting him would need to stop using the internet.

More or less. I think the use of CPU specific instructions can make an compiled program different than "the rest". Although nowadays some compilers are clever enough to do better than manual optimization.

Great take, two things come to mind: First, the "all too small context window" reminds me of GetRight, mp3pro and a lot of other artifacts we invented in the 80s and 90s to deal with the limited internet bandwidth of then. We crea
