that would be more believable if they didn't release the apple vision pro.

Or the years they took biding their time before they finally implemented battery charge time estimation on ios.

Or the time biding their time refining, erm, copy and paste?

Come on!

oh for fuck's sake. A mistake is rendering the wrong emoji. Sending your password to elsewhere is inexcusable

and the only reason it's not slowing you down on other things is that you don't know enough about those other things to recognize all the stuff you need to fix

yes they can. I regularly do. Regexes aren't hard to write, their logic is quite simple. They're hard to read, yes, but they are almost always one-offs (ex, substitutions in nvim).

1% slowdown is pretty bad. You'd still do better just not using it. 19% is huge!

these types of laws usually come from the most technically illiterate people ever

yep. you could of course swap weights in and out, but that would slow things down to a crawl. So they get lots of vram (edit: for example, an H100 has 80gb of vram)

that's why they need huge datacenters and thousands of GPUs. And, pretty soon, dedicated power plants. It is insane just how wasteful this all is.

yes, but that doesn't help if the software refuses to run on modern java

i wasn't born yet. I don't even think half of me was in my dad's balls yet

imagine that to type one letter, you need to manually read all unicode code points several thousand times. When you're done, you select one letter to type.

Then you start rereading all unicode code points again for thousands of times again, for the next letter.

That's how llms work. When they say 175 billion parameters, it means at least that many calculations per token it generates

funny how everyone who wants to write a new browser (except the ladybird guys) always skimp on writing the actual browser part

in yes/no type questions, 50% success rate is the absolute worst one can do. Any worse and you're just giving an inverted correct answer more than half the time

they are improving at an exponential rate. It's just that the exponent is less than one.

got a pc with a good deal. First thing I did was electrically cut off all unnecessary leds

if you're concerned about how much you need to move your hand, then you'll probably love (neo)vim

because it's supposed to be usb. Which it's not, intentionally

that's why you get a little robot friend to clean it for you

theoretically, they wouldn't, and yes, that is how it works. The math says so.

opposite or not, they are both tasks that the fixed-matrix-multiplications can utterly fail at. It's not a regulation thing. It's a math thing: this cannot possibly work.

If you could get the checker to be correct all of the time, then you could just do that on the model it's "checking" because it is literally the same thing, with the same failure modes, and the same lack of any real authority in anything it spits
