Paying the list price Anthropic decided upon for outputs from an LLM, then using those outputs for your work? Or sourcing those outputs from others that paid for the service, and using those? If that's "distillation", it seem

Forgot to mention, but it was after the 4.7 release when I was still using 4.6 that I saw those loops too... Before that, 4.6 had been a pretty seamless experience.

They would quantize the model. That'd make it cheaper to run, and have slightly worse output but it would still generate outputs with a similar feel, derived from a compressed version of the same knowledge base etc. They wouldn't

This is a great post that covers a lot of the recent ground. I have a very similar setup after a very similar journey, minus the RTX6000. Worth noting though that a lot of the recent changes make a single 3090/4090 much more viable her

I've got a similar setup with a k3s homelab and a bunch of small projects that need basic data storage and caching. One thing worth considering is that if someone wants to run both redis and postgres, they need to allocate enough memor

Sure, but if you insist it's like a tide you downplay the risk of the initial hit of the wavefronts and the potential for it to slam up the coast or a seawall becoming a larger local wave. And if you insist it's like a wave, you d

It's a distinction without value I think. There are waves, and many of them. There is a rise in the sea level. For anywhere affected, both certainly matter. Like you mentioned, tsunami isn't a brief event. And here in Japan, they

There are planes, buoys and other things being mentioned on the news here in Japan as ways things are being tracked. Maybe not what you meant, but tracking the wave isn't necessarily correct. There are many waves, and the initial wave

by nessex 1y ago
Not true. As the news reporters here in Japan are repeating every few minutes, there will be many waves and they can get bigger over time. They already have, 20-30cm initial waves had 40-60cm later waves. Waves can get bigger due to earthqu

If you haven't tried OpenAI's advanced voice mode, it's a mind blowing version of exactly what things like Siri really ought to become with a little more development. If that's what you mean by LLM Siri, I totally agree.

I ride in Tokyo and surrounding areas often. There are bike lanes scattered around, though some places have far more than others. In general though, there is a lot of patience on the part of drivers here in the city (at least relative to Au

This is not the case, it measures the time between two points in the code at runtime and prints that[1]. [1] https://github.com/kprotty/zap/blob/blog/benchmarks/rust/ray...

That's pretty much the exact philosophy I live by. I've definitely found no bed frame to be a hard-sell to family and friends, and it's hard to see why once you've tried all the options. A mattress makes a lot of sense,

Sorry if you saw my original comment, I misread this as a dismissal through exaggeration, but after double checking my comprehension I realise I was both wrong and missing the fact that I can relate to most of this. I've tried many of

I'm in Japan so I use nosh.jp. It's decent and surprisingly cheap, not much more than food from the supermarket here which is expensive regardless.

Right, it's about eliminating the mundane parts, not about having nothing in my life. It's a balance that will be different for everyone.

Yeah absolutely, that's kind of what I'm talking about. Though even then, managing different contract durations across many different companies for many different bills each month is annoying, and there are companies that can do t

I've found a lot of freedom in similar decisions. Not sure I could take it to the same level, but even just having a small set of meals to eat every week makes shopping, cooking and planning around expiry dates so much easier. Clothes

Possibly, when working with big codebases I'm typically working on Kubernetes controllers in both Golang and Rust. That makes for extra slow golang compiles, and the rust incremental compiles are significantly quicker in comparison. Ot

When I use rust, I find compile times faster and more manageable than other languages due to the speed of iterative compiles. Compiling from scratch is very slow, but iterative compiles are faster than most of my golang compiles and faster

As an Australian citizen, I have plenty of sympathy for those who have dual/multiple citizenship. They've been treated particularly harshly by both the federal government and their fellow Australian citizens. Some notes: - There i

This sort of thing has been brought up for more than a year. The federal government has shirked all responsibility from the start of this whole affair. States have requested federal support for establishing these sorts of quarantine facilit

The most impressive part to me is how the m1 compares to the 3900X. I’ve got a mere 3600X and every laptop I owned or worked on over the past year is noticeably and painfully slower than the 3600X. It’s been a relief to get home and turn on

I really wish Google would prioritize English results for English searches consistently. I'm living in Japan as a native English speaker, and have my OS, browser and logged in Google account all configured for English only. Despite tha
