If they could, they would ship an apple version of the internet only available to apple devices. Well Microsoft tried to do the exact same thing with that dreadful Microsoft Network in the early days of the web. So it's not inherit t

I built from scratch a sparse text embedding model trained on a 13T token corpus. Not the same as an LLM because there’s no transformer in the mix, but still I learned a shit load of things in order to solve all sorts of problems that emerg

That’s not the argument though. The argument is that conversion rates as per OpenAI are about 5% and to serve the other 95% you need to build significant infrastructure that costs hundreds of billions annually. So for every white collar wor

No, I won't send a ton, I'll send a few dozens to a few hundreds at most because not everyone is interested in the same things. And they'll visit at their own timeline. If your site can't service a few dozen requests sim

Around that time a lot of politicians in Greece had their phones hacked by Pegasus. It's an ongoing scandal in Greece that never got fully resolved, although all evidence indicate that it was an operation orchestrated by the office of
