Isn't it an irony that much of this is in the name of resolving World Problems, such as Global Warming

I clearly see the point against using AI for mass surveillance and fully autonomous weapons. But for the latter, I don't see a choice. If other countries are willing to allow fully autonomous weapons using their own AI, it's no longer a matter of choice, you have to do it too.

The article doesn't say anything about the price (it will be expensive), but it doesn't look like something that the average developer would purchase.

An LLM's effective lifespan is a few months (ie the amount of time it is considered top-tier), it wouldn't make sense for a user to purchase something that would be superseded in a couple of months.

An LLM hosting service however, where it would operate 24/7, would be able to make up for the investment.

Let's be honest, matcha looks like a swamp. Can you tell them apart?

Pet project showing the actual trip execution of Athens buses versus the itinerary. The project consumes the telematics API of Athens buses, stores the time they visit stops, and is able to show high level information about the trip execution. The site is in Greek.

fragkakis — Tue, 04 Dec 2018 07:44:46 +0000

For me the FF dev tools are not as good as Chrome's. For the basics I need both browsers offer the same functionality. However, on my machine, FF has performance problems with the dev tools open. Also, when I rearrange the width of the columns in the network tab, after some seconds and without knowing why, the columns return to their original width.
