^ How to spot a sucker


Good engineers and funding ?


When people say "easily", they don't mean "everybody gets to it". They mean "The chances are better than elsewhere". Which is true. And also fyi if you actually enjoy learning and growing you wouldn't sound so bitter about not making stupid amounts of money


Are the chances better than elsewhere? It seems sales, real estate, etc would be the "easier" place to make money as there's even less involved in barriers to entry.

"And also fyi if you actually enjoy learning and growing you wouldn't sound so bitter about not making stupid amounts of money"

FYI these aren't mutually exclusive. You can enjoy learning and growing while being bitter about getting screwed over. And it's not bitter to point out to other people that initial comment about just learning and growing being enough to easily reach top 5% income is a lie.


Nobody is obligated to let people spew propaganda


Yes they are. There is no "propaganda" exception to the First Amendment or free speech in general.


The government is obligated to let you speak, no private citizen or organization is obligated to let you speak without interruption


I don't think the 1st Amendment requires you to open your school up to speakers that students don't like, nor does it require students to sit and listen or to not actively heckle. In fact, as far as I know, the only thing the first amendmendment does is prevent the government itself from silencing your speech. Are these kids or the school the government itself? Then the first amendment doesn't apply.


You are correct, the conduct of the hecklers, while contrary to the principle and spirit of free expression, is not prohibited by the First Amendment. It is contrary to Stanford's own written rules protecting open discourse; by refusing to enforce its rules, Stanford is violating their written committments.


No, AI rendering is crazy slow and will remain that way for a very long time.


Factory farming is infinitely more repulsive. Lots of us actually care about other living things


Are you being intellectually honest when you imply that the only options are prison sheds for the poor animals, and lab grown abominations? No, you’re arguing like a child. This wouldn’t even work on a child, I don’t know why you think it would work on me.


Factory farming is truly satanic.


Yeah we can also ban factory farming, like we ban murder.


The correct definition of murder is as such:

> Murder is the unlawful killing of another human without justification or valid excuse [...]

Animals are not humans, killing an animal is not a murder. Attribution of human traits, emotions, or intentions to animals is called anthropomorphism.


I mostly agree with you. But it seems clear that mammals do have a lot of the same emotions humans do, as those emotions evolved long before humans took the stage. We just inherited them from our earlier ancestors.


That's not the full definition of murder. Here's the rest:

- 1: to kill (a human being) unlawfully and with premeditated malice

- 2: to slaughter wantonly : SLAY

- 3a: to put an end to

- 3b: TEASE, TORMENT

- 3c: MUTILATE, MANGLE

Watch Dominion and tell us these animals are not being mutilated, mangled, tormented, slaughtered and murdered.

Animals do not want to die. The will ALL naturally cry, scream, run, fight and generally do anything possible to avoid getting killed. Killing them is murder. Discrimination or unjustified treatment of animals based on an individual's species membership is called Speciesism. The belief that humans alone possess intrinsic value or are the central entity in the universe is called Anthropocentrism.


4 words a second doesn't seem fast enough for a voice assistant ?


It's faster than that [0], 20 token/s, should be approximately 15 words per second.

I've had difficulty obtaining useful results from the smaller (7B-sized) models. The issue lies in the content, not the speed. If you could stream the text-to-speech, the speed alone would be satisfactory.


You're right I overestimated how fast we talk!


Some rules of thumb I use for estimating this kind of stuff

100wpm: Max typing speed

200wpm: Max speaking speed

300wpm: Max listening speed, max reading speed with subvocalisation

900wpm: Max reading speed without subvocalisation


Doin napkin math, this model should be hitting 900wpm


Its really not, have you ever spent any actual time in academia ?


Yes. And I'll let my link speak for itself, do you deny the claims made by Dr Natalie Gosnell?
