Don't these data centers have pretty elaborate cooling setups that use large volumes of water? So they're sitting on real estate with access to massive amounts of water, electricity, and high bandwidth network connections. Seems l

I'll just make note here for anyone else confused that Groq and Grok are distinct entities. They just have similar names. Groq is more of a hardware focused company.

Completely agree. Modern computers are basically just web terminals for most people, so a basic Linux distro + browser is all they need. Windows is actually terrible for non-technical users now. The constant pop-ups, nagging messages, and d

Yeah, following the OP's logic, if I think this obsession with purity tests and politicizing every tool choice is more toxic than an LLM could ever be, then I should actively undermine that norm. So I guess I'm morally obligated t

I like to think of LLMs as the internet's Librarian. They've read nearly all the books in the library, can't always cite the exact page, but can point you in the right direction most of the time.

Wouldn't it be static electricity in that case and not lightning? Not sure if this is just a technical definition thing I'm missing or if lightning just makes a cooler sounding headline.

It's weird how "rights" went from "the government can't do X to you" to "the government can force private actors to do Y (but these rules don't apply to us)."

Weapons need to be replaced, even ones never used. To be capable of scaling production you need at least some degree of production constantly simmering in the background. Yet even then, there is a limit to how much you can scale up on deman

Considering how protective Europe is of it's markets I'm not surprised their dairy imports are small. They even treat town/village names as a kind of trademark to facilitate this, leading to much confusion (I will die on this

I'd argue their brand might be too strong, ChatGPT has already begun to enter the same semantic space as "Velcro". Everyone I know seems to have tried it yet quickly you begin to realize that for most people ChatGPT == LLM,

Your reply doesn't answer my question and seems to imply things I can't understand. Are you suggesting people in Europe simply use the same kind of cheese with everything? I find that hard to believe. Perhaps you have never bought

Wait so when Europeans complain about American cheese, they are talking about Kraft/Velveeta? I always thought of those as their own independent thing, do they not purchase their cheese at the deli? Most foods exported across the Atlan

This is precisely why the federal government shouldn't have as much power as it currently does in my opinion. Every layer of indirection is reduction in representation. If not for the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 it wouldn'

It would be very surprising if they lost on this, but I question what exactly winning would truly accomplish? The concept of a foreign legal enforcement agency appearing in a US court seems very strange to me.

I definitely know what you mean, each model definitely has it's own style. I find myself mentally framing them as like horses with different personalities and riding quirks. Still, perhaps saying "copy" was a bit misleading.
