it's unlikely that there is a difference
compilers are usually optimizing these kind of statements so they end up similar or identical
if you wanna be sure, make two loops running a few million times with random if else / switches and time them
your idea of cheapest is using a mac to run a LLM? are you out of your mind?
large scale spammers are just going to use free cloud credits they got for pennies on the dollar, it won't stop anyone
There are definitely patterns that transfer across different problems, it's not random at all.

Is it just a question of training data parity?Or are the current algorithms just failing on darker faces because of some inherent issue? shadows/lighting?edge detection?It doesn't seem that hard to make a diverse dataset, so why are most of the models on the market awful at it?
URL, images, stuff shown after you click on a button...
Instagram data is really valuable and they don't like sharing it, you're not dumb!
rotating proxies are the way to go with insta, you can't do much about IP blocking besides using the right IPs
although in theory if you had an account(s) you could still scrape data from a datacenter IP(aws), even though the limits were lower than a 4G proxy
you can buy/create insta accounts for less than a $ using throwaway phone numbers
a VPN won't do anything to help you with instagram
the best of the best are 4G rotating proxies
the fingerprint needs to change also
If I read and learn from your content it's of no benefit to you either.
If you don't want others to learn from what you have to say, just talk to a brick wall.
hundred of thousand of requests monthly
do you mean detect your location or detect the fact that you're using a vpn?
because there are plenty of API that'll tell if you're using one
+if you have a huge database you can detect duplicate IPs
there are already dozens of use cases that would become (more) profitable/interesting if we had chips optimized for LLMs
they were asic for BTC at a way earlier stage
+they can always pivot in a year if the market changes too much

Hi,
I'm looking for a LLM that can be used to have decent answers to stuff like:
"what libraries do this code import?"
"does this code follow this design pattern?"
"do the variables used in this code have a meaningful name?"GPT 3.5 turbo can do it pretty well, but it's out of my budget, as I would need to make a LOT of requests.I have about 8,000$ in AWS credits for self hostingIs there any LLM...
Step 1. Find papers you're interested in
Step 2. Open them
Step 3. read them
"these tokens often compete against each other for available spots in expert buffers. "
So is this also why ChatGPT is often just writing placeholders in place of functions when I ask him for some long code?
>is that primary and secondary schools that are in not very good areas are not ambitious for their pupils.
And where do you think the vast majority of immigrants live?
In Boulogne Billancourt?
When I talk about these paths, I mostly mean prepas and grande écoles, but that doesn't mean I recommend them.
Yeah you're set for life if you succeed there, but the student suicide rate in those schools is also astonishingly high because of the pressure/competition.
If I were you, I'd just teach my kids to code, learn, build stuff, sell stuff, and use AI correctly. IMO school is an outdated concept, in any country.
I know people from the suburbs who didn't even know what a prep school was until they were adults.
>They believe more in the education system so they push their kids more into higher education.
No, not really, most people seems to still believe it.
>Most of the high education school in France have a somewhat fair competitive exam to filter the candidates
Yet preparatory schools are still disproportionately full of rich white kids.
The US are a younger country and it's full of immigrants/children of immigrants.
Most of the money here is old money. There are dozens of implicit rules. In France having a teacher as a parent is a better indicator of whether you'll get into a top school than being rich. Because you have to know all the tricks in the book to get anywhere. From my POV getting into Ivy League seems as simple as getting a high SAT, applying, getting approved for a loan. In France, most immigrants kids don't even know the possible paths to get into a top school.
Also yes, salary plays a big role, if you're part of the top 1% of your country intellectual elite, I'd bet you'd rather cross an ocean for 6 figures than for 2000 euros a month and free healthcare.
so I just spent the last hour tinkering with it, I think there is definetly room for some timing attack, at least on firefox, there is a pattern
is user input needed or can it be done without it?
looks nice but it's US only
You can get credits at a 95% discount on some sketchy websites
google is your friend ;)

I'm usually not afraid to share my ideas unless they're really ridiculous and I'm ashamed of my twisted mind.But I just had an idea that seems really great to me, and potentially really profitable, really quickly, if I move my ass to launch an MVP. There is a market for it that's 100% sure, if my product is good enough and well marketed it can definitely succeed.I was about to ask for feedback...

It's the third time I'm contacted for this job, I tick all the boxes and they seem desperate.I would more than triple my current salary, it's a one year contract.It's a polluting company(think Exxon or Monsanto on a much smaller scale), they have been fined multiple times(for pollution, fraud, discrimination).On one hand I deeply hate them and everything they stand for, I'd feel like I sold my...
