Being more educated doesn't make llms more useful. Being less educated doesn't make them less fun.

Problem with them is the magnitude of the push vs their usefulness. There was no need for that massive of scaling. It's all "we must get all the investor money before we have to raise prices to become profitable".

If there was any education behind making those slopcenters, they wouldn't make them gas powered in a desert.

Wrong in almost every way.

Aligator clips on those little arms aka "Helping hands". And patience...

RAM and cpus use the proper 1024 B to kB to MB to GB. Unlike hdd makers that paid ISO to retroactively make it 1000. Or worse internet providers that use bits (b) instead of bytes (B) (reasoning that signal transmission uses bits).

It's definitely the kernel and bios reserving pieces. They need it to run the computer, after all. Afaik even other hardware can reserve memory for itself, like gpus or network devices.

I got a knife my grandfather used, that has been sharpened so much it looks like a fillet knife. Ergonomics? It cuts, I don't care. It's a good reserve.

Good point about dimples though. But thinking about it why wouldnt I be able to sharpen it? A knife's like 2mm thick while a dimple is idk I don't have one such knife, but it's probably much less then 0.3mm and the edge obviously tapers.

Stuff sticks to knives because they are flat. They need to have dimples for stuff not to stick. Even with ultrasonic vibrations things will stick because things are elastic and sucktion.

I doubt this knife has the power for its vibrations to make a meaningfull difference in cutting.

That's my opinion at least.

LLMs are limited by memory bandwidth much more then calculating power. You need HBM. Dedicated accelerators only lower power usage.

There were plans for a train. Problem is, other then the obvious, that you still need a lot of water for the steam turbine.

I think there's a youtube video about it.
