Hi there, European dude here

Can someone nourish my anxiety with a quick summarization of what happened here? Looks like Biden was “a little” off?

EDIT: Nevermind, I read USA Today recap… Fuck…

I knew it! Microsoft has been using IA the whole time! Look at this drawings, it’s proof!

It rusts under the rain

Hmmm délicieux butter cookie avec un petit café!

And now I got Benny Hill’s music in my head.

I like your style

Well it’s definitely true that you will have hard times getting true things from garbage. But funny enough, the model might hallucinate true things:)

You can train an LLM on the best possible set of data without a single false statement and it will still hallucinate. And there’s nothing to be done against that.

Without understanding of the context everything can be true or false.

“The acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.81m/s2” True or False?

LLM basically works like this: given the previous words written and their order, the most probable next word of the sentence is this one.

Well, before SpaceX I looked at the space exploration program as a science enthusiast. The missions were rare but important for science. Then this dude came out of nowhere, saying he was about to save the Earth with electric cars and build a station on Mars. And for a moment it really worked. I genuinely thought he was a good billionaire. Then he completely loose his mind, start talking and acting like the worse moron of the universe, and I started studying his statements without the shiny distorting layer. He’s so full of shit it makes me sick. Most of the things he says is nonsense.

So I can’t tell why my brain works that way, but it does. Today I’m more exited by new ways to produce renewable energies on Earth than I am about rockets. That joy I felt for any SpaceX news slipped away.

My comment was just the realization of that. That was weird to be honest, but true.

A few years ago (already) I would have been sad and shocked. Now I don’t give a shit about SpaceTwitter. That douchebag managed to kill all the interest I had for space exploration, a topic I was passionate about for most of my life. He really is that kind of killjoy.

Yeah that’s basically a big chubby doggo!

Well, I got a good news and a bad news.

The bad news is you won’t do shit with that my dear friend.

The good news is that you won’t need it because the duck is back.

Most of 7b-8b models run just fine in 4bits quant and won’t use more than 4 or 5 GB of VRAM.

The only important metric is the amount of VRAM as the model must be loaded in VRAM for fast inference.

You could use CPU and RAM but it is really painfully slow.

If you got an Apple Silicon Mac it could be even simpler.

That’s a nice hobby

I would suggest you to install a local instance of a LLM (mistral or llama3 for example) to widen your source of information. Go straight to Wikipedia instead of “googling” it if you don’t already.

Anyway, I didn’t know about kagi so I might take my own advice and give it a try.

This government is an absolute farce leading us straight to the victory of the far-right. Fuck them.

Nice read. Thanks OP!

He looks exactly like a fine little doggo

Nice!

Now I need T.A.R.S

Why nobody is doing T.A.R.S? I would if I could but I can’t…

PL setups are the best.

Yes
