Consider submitting an article titled "all you need is considered harmful"

I don’t follow.

They are refering to a meme a Dutch guy created

Link?


That size is on the edge of something you can train at home

If you have modern hardware, you can absolutely train that at home. Or very affordable on a cloud service.

I’ve seen a number of “DIY GPT-2” tutorials that target this sweet spot. You won’t get amazing results unless you want to leave a personal computer running for a number of hours/days and you have solid data to train on locally, but fine-tuning should be in the realm of normal hobbyists patience.


Hmm is there anything reasonably ready made* for this spot? Training and querying a llm locally on an existing codebase?

* I don't mind compiling it myself but i'd rather not write it.


Not even on the edge. That's something you could train on a 2 GB GPU.

The general guidance I've used is that to train a model, you need an amount of RAM (or VRAM) equal to 8x the number of parameters, so a 0.125B model would need 1 GB of RAM to train.


Mutually assured destruction

Where do patent-trolls fit in this analogy?

They’re the backstreet gangs that rob single missile silos from failing states and ransom you.

I highly recommend Feedbro as an RSS reader.

This is the main reason why CIELAB was developed

Not if it burns down

Yes, all homes in America burn down every 5 years.

If your camera is compatible with magiclantern you could lift that limit and add some really cool features:

I’ve come across this before and think it’s brilliant. Are you aware of any comparable firmware for Nikon users (not that I really have any complaints about what Nikon has provided, but this is likely a case of not knowing what I’m missing out on)?

I'm not, and that's the reason why I went Canon. There is also CHDK for cheaper Canon cameras. Canon seems to be less litigous when it comes to hacking their firmware.

What is your point? That is similar to saying that males are generally taller than females.

In my country, they claim that women would be as tall as men if not for misogyny.


>> Remember than when the AIDS epidemic broke out. The doctors and labs didn’t help much. People took things in their own hands and tried stuff, and in the end, they found things that worked.

What??? It was the FDA that blocked access, not doctors and labs. It was the doctors and labs that were trying to find treatments. Peptide T and AZT had several studies going on.


Likelihood of this happening in the internet era, for something with an order of magnitude more rapid progression than HIV/AIDS?

Which is a very common feature, even YouTube can do it if you press "," (or the button next to "M" I guess)
