it may be even cheaper to use big models through API. Claude, GPT, whatever. Rental is efficient only for big butches, while API is priced per call/size and is cheap for small models.

It's a trick. If you donate something to charity you can write it off the taxes. After IPOs most new billionaires did it, including Zuk. It's enough to just promise it publicly. There is no time limit, it can take years to 'd

Simple tax optimization. Like new billionaires promising to significant donations. a) they don't have to donate. b) they can immediately slash those promised donations from taxes.

Absolutely worth doing. Here is interesting related video, local RAG: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bq1Plo2RhYI I'm not an expert, but I'll do it for learning. Then open source if it works. As far as I understan

This is cool, but how about local semantic search through tens of thousands articles and books. Sure I'm not the first, there should be some tools already.

After collision drone should shut itself down and drop like a rock. Looks like it wasn't the case here. And there should be nobody on the ground below, of course. Flying over that lake would be safe

Nothing to worry about. They are dead end only if we find something better. Till then they here to stay. And likely even after they will be used.

They are not mutually exclusive. Likely we'll get more clear separation of architecture and underlying technology. In this case agents (i.e. architecture) can use different technologies or mix of them. Including 'AI' and algo

Like it or not Meta is a major player in AI world with its free models and tools. As for social impact of the rest it's debatable. I personally don't have active social accounts, and not sure this is good.

I can explain a bit. Russians living in Empire of Evil can see all internet including US and EU news. At the same time 'Putin propaganda' channels are blocked in EU. In EU only one side is available. This creates an information b

You may think Anthropic is different? It's the same UI + API. The difference is they don't create free accounts for personal emails. Sort of shadow banning. However they accepted my work email for free account and personal email f

They are both. and there are UIs for their API, which costs $$. But web UI is free. And limited. It's nice to have options.

it should be possible to ask model to think aloud (or step-by-step) and then give summary. in one or two prompts. give only summary back to user.

May be not, it could be just new normal. Reading old books I noticed how nicely people are talking to each other. But it may only sound nice by modern standards while being actually the same by old.
