You mean you aren't bullish on volume of illegal transactions? /s

well, you couldn't justify the cost if you still employed all 3.7B

Is it too high or too low? Honestly cannot tell

If we all 10x our productivity, then we also 10x the cost of taking a day off and theoretically progress is compounding, so it's even costlier...oh no.

That's a bit of a stretch, but the number is bigger than I expected!

Siri doesn't need to have conversations with you. ChatGPT can do that. But, it should be able to do actions you'd do on your phone.

Is there a reason why this has to be done at training time? Could the system prompt tell the model to convert the output to a different format?

Do the ETF managers have no discretion in determining when to buy? I was under the impression that they usually handle these changes to indices gradually even under normal circumstances.

It would be cool if iPhone could double as a laptop by just adding a monitor and keyboard/mouse and switch over to macOS.

100 tok/s sounds pretty good. What do you get with 70B? With 128GB, you need quantization to fit 70B model, right?

Wondering if local LLM (for coding) is a realistic option, otherwise I wouldn't have to max out the RAM.

I'd say it's mainly to do with browser/iOS plugins not being responsive. I find myself often resorting to opening the app and copying and pasting the password or other info because autofill function doesn't work on different websites.

Otherwise minor UI things like categories on the sidebar which made it easy to navigate, but they got rid of it a while back.

Good luck with your project!

Good to hear that is a viable option. I am mostly on Apple devices, but do need Linux and Windows support, so I don't think it will work for me.

Anyone have suggestions for a good alternative?

I've been using 1Password (family version to share some subset within the family) for more than 10 years now, but I have to say the user experience has degraded quite a bit. Anyone have a better overall alternative? (Doesn't necessarily have to be cheaper.)

While I agree that the return numbers are probably very low, you may be underestimating Reddit's impact in terms of product recommendation. I noticed that Reddit results are often pretty prominent on Google search when product reviews are searched for. Security camera market is pretty competitive and a single factor like this could easily sway people to choose alternatives.

AI coding tools are providing non-programmers giving similar ability. Not production quality, but still useful to them everyday and they can tweak as they go.

“이/가” is the Korean version of this. It depends on the sound of the word that precedes.

I still remember seeing it when I first started using Windows 95. As a kid, I was amused that it didn’t know which one to use. Really, I didn’t even know that I was making that choice (and couldn’t say what the rule was).

If anyone is interested about it, this page explains https://www.90daykorean.com/i-ga-grammar/

Math PhDs are usually paid stipend and pay no tuition, so each additional student is a cost to the school.
