Eventually another cloud provider can just spin up a few llms vs paying whatever Claude demands

What happens in magical places with free or heavily subsidized college has little to do with what an expensive private US university does.

If a German college decides 200$ is too much they can use Godot or a variety of free alternatives.

Buying a game system is the least of your problems there

Will Claude constantly be able to deliver more value than rolling your own ?

I think the future is a bunch of just good enough models, which is what most people need. Not top of the line models that require millions in hardware to run

God bless these open models. Claude can’t subsidize its users forever and no one can afford 1200$ a month for llm credits.

I’m on a nvidia gpu , but I want to be able to combine vram with system memory.

Should I use brew to install llma.ccp or the zypper to install the tumbleweed package?

It was for serious business, not small talk. If you somehow knew Zoom would happen you could have created Zoom and you’d be very rich.

TBF, unimaginable is a strong word. Impractical would be better.

Actually you might be right depending on how integrated the area is:

Exhibit A: Your Old Droog Exhibit B: Lord Sko

As an adult my normal speaking voice is closer to a relaxed California accent. It’s clear , but it always leaves room to weasel out of certain situations.

If I could I’d probably use a Mid Atlantic Madmen accent. That accent gets things done.

As much as I’m happy that kids now have access to YouTube, and thus can use the neutral influencer dialect, something about our culture is being erased.

I grew up speaking both a neutral California accent and bits of AAVE. AAVE itself is drastically different depending on the part of the US you’re in. I can barely understand southern AAVE. NYC AAVE is much faster, but I think NYC people think faster in general.

I really do believe YouTube can bring gaps. If your a kid in Albania you can see life though the eyes of someone in Oakland.

And hop on a zoom 30 minutes later to chat. This would be unimaginable 50 years ago.

I just brought Light Years on cassette by Nas.

I’m an hobbyist musician and I’m going to sell actual cassettes and donate the profits. I’m never going to get the 500 million streams you need to make money off Spotify

However, I do notice that for more uncommon music, the record industry sort it just looks the other way. For example Eminem has tons of really old music on YouTube that I’m sure his lawyers could figure out how to get taken down. But it just stays up.

I would really like music copyright to change within my lifetime. It should realistically be 30 years from first release, and after that it should go straight to the public domain. By then everyone’s made their money. Even Elvis won’t be public domain until like 2050 or 2060. I don’t really think he needs the money right now.

In many communities you have a guy who cooks plates of food and sells them. While technically this is illegal with out a permit, it’s usually tolerated.

I’m all for the legalization of everything for adults, but it’s a very complex issue. Education is the way here, not punishment

On one hand you should have a right to buy whatever you want at 21( which should be the minimum enlistment age), but I’d be concerned about Billy selling homemade GPLs or whatever.

I will say I am impressed with Instagram advertising me music software. I really like making music and I’ve bought quite a few things off of Instagram ads.

That’s advertising done right!

You don't trust Nvidia because the drivers are closed source ?

I think Nvidia's pledged to work on the open source drivers to bring them closer to the proprietary ones.

I'm hopping Intel can catch up , at 32GB of VRAM for around 1000$ it's very accessible

I also make small games with Godot.
