Trusting the output of an abstraction explicitly designed, engineered, and tested by other humans with an actual understanding of the layer beneath you is not comparable to trusting a non-deterministic, statistical next-word-predictor with

Cool that it's possible but basically unusable performance characteristics. For an 8192 token prompt they report a ~1.5 minute time-to-first-token and then 8.30tk/s from there. For context ChatGPT is typically <<1s ttft and

Just flat out false, and embarrassingly so, but spoken with the unearned authority of an LLM. See: The Pirate Bay.

Pure ad hominem FUD. “This guy sometimes disagrees with scientists employed by the government, don’t listen to him!”. The technical details are beyond my understanding but I’ve heard from a PhD in the field that Masterjohn’s understanding o

I’m not quite understanding: you’re saying you deploy your site one way, then crawl it, then redeploy it via the zipfile you created? And why is SSR relevant to the discussion?

This idea that the "homeless problem in SF" is primarily a problem of "people being unable to afford homes in SF" is just laughable. All you need to do is walk down almost any street in San Francisco and take a secondary
