These new LLM models and vision models have their place in software stack. They do enable some solutions that have been nearly impossible in the past (mandatory xkcd ref: https://xkcd.com/1425/ , this is now trivial task)

ML works very well on large data sets and numbers, but it is poor at handling text data. LLM’s again are shit with large data and numbers, but they are good at handling small text data. It is a tool, and properly used very powerful one. And it is not a magic bullet.

One easy example from real world requirements: you have five paragraph of human written text, and you need to summarize it to header automatically. Five years ago if some project owner would have request this feature, I would have said string.substring(100), live with it. Now it is pretty much one line of code.

Oh man, we use windows servers at work, so I see this 20x day.

There are always some bottle necks on the network, but the frequency is same on all mainland Europe. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continental_Europe_Synchronous_Area

It is possible that this bottle neck saved the whole European grid coming down.

Electricity network requires that production and consumption are always equal. If there is too little production, the frequency (Hz) goes down and if too little consumption, the frequency goes up. If frequency goes too far every electric device pretty much breaks.

This is why there is automation in the network that tries to balance the network (reserve production and consumption). BUT if shit hits the fan, and frequency goes too bad, it automatically takes load off or production off the network. This often causes domino effect, you take load off, which causes over production, and again you take production off and loop is ready. In minutes the whole network falls like domino blocks, one by one.

There was lots of luck (and probably skill and preparation) that they were able to stop it. Main land Europe from Portugal to Turkey is one big network.

Cold starting whole Europe would have taken week. You need to start small islands, and connect them together slowly. Balancing load and production.

Damn! Same here, red hat 99, but switched to Debian quite fast

These things have been illegal in Europe for quite some time. US brands need to use different dyes in candies/sodas in Europe as on US.

I meant that the administration (i.e. Trump) is incompetent for selling the country for pennies.

Million dollar is practically nothing for this kind of company, they will net billions from this.

Even their corruption is incompetent.

They are trying to explain “this was the plan all along”. Bullshit, they just are flipflopping and have no idea how to run the show.

Isn’t it just that humans don’t see the ultra violet color they are, and therefore see it as white. There are many flowers that turn from purple to white. Bees can see those wave lengths.

So Saudi’s etc now officially own Twitter.

If you find a job, and move here, you will gain permanent residency in 5-8 years. Jobs are listed here: https://www.workinfinland.com/en/open-jobs/

There is everything listed there.

60k is single json file

Well no shit. We have saying in Finland: If enemy is attacking from the west, it is trying to flank us.

You guys have clearly never had kids. It almost never goes like in the movies, you rush into hospital, and then you wait. Especially if the water broke, then you wait few days. There is absolutely nothing to do in the hospital. I would have killed for steamdeck, or even a switch.

No no, government is only involved if it is against MY views

This will take US to a war, which is even bigger shitshow than Iraq and Afghanistan. It will mean boots on the ground for next 50 years.

He said that Biden/Kamala will take US to a war, but projection is what he always does.

Open source is in general wrong term in all of these “open source” LLM’s (like LLAMA and R1), the model is shared, but there is no real way of reproducing the model. This is because the training data is never shared.

In my mind open source means that you can reproduce the same binary from source. The models are shared for free, but not “open”.

President of a civilized country should not have this power.
