It's all about conducting users into using their plans/tokens in accordance to a certain cadence

sometimes by increasing human cognitive load during reviews, sometimes by expanding the number of gated decisions, sometimes by penalizing those using their accounts on other harnesses

Awesome, someone finally found one of the seashells I drop for entertainment when I go for a ride across the desert

"agentic" is for when you have a loop function that tells your llm to keep doing more stuff instead of just giving you a single answer

Why 5 years?

I'm running a totally usable 13b parameters llama model in my macbook air, which seems to give outputs equivalent to what I was getting from GPT3 in June 2022.

How much more hardware would it really be needed for GPT-4 level outputs natively? Perhaps software optimizations alone could do most of the trick.

I just asked Alpaca 13b running locally on how to enrich uranium in a cost effective manner and it went on a lengthy and detailed explanation.
Re:Shrugs.app – A native Slack client for macOS on Thursday June 30, 2022 @07:28AM (#31931079)
Most of the point of skipping electron is memory usage, which is a major issue with having a full separate installation of Chrome just to handle a webpage, which is what Slack is.
Humans had no NEO monitoring for about 500k years, we'll do ok for a few years of diminished capacity

People from outside Brazil are missing a lot for not having contact deAssis' work.

It is so hard to break the barrier that separates Brazilian literature to the outside. Fortunately Posthumous Memoirs of Brás Cuba was somewhat successful on this task after two centuries. Hope others follow.

Well, he did say he was sorry
As a seller you'd simply denominate the prices in USD, keep some percentage of the btc as it is very likely to appreciate and convert the rest to USD as soon as possible to mitigate fluctuation risk.

As a buyer, you'd just purchase btc in the moment preceding the transaction or spend from your own hodlings if it seems like a good moment to reduce exposure.

Volatility is not that big of a deal.

GPT-3?
There are so many note sequences compressed in his solos that it’s plausible that in some part of it it randomly violates someone’s IP or fully describes Pi
What about the fringy hypothesis of solar mini-novas to explain the extinctions?

Would appreciate some thoughts on the plausibility of this.

There’s a growing internet movement of people pushing this and they sound geekier than your usual conspiracy theorist.

as Zizek would say, "And then you use this as the basis for a GAN that optimises for faces that do fit, making better deepfakes and so on and so on"
That’s BS. We are way ahead of the US already. Real numbers are around 12x according to Fio Cruz institute.
