>implemented completely client side
I am doing a beam-like search with a client I built (using logprobs and keeping only sequence possibilities above a threshold, to a limited depth). It's fairly slow, and I have to wonder if it couldn't be sped up by smart batching that would be much easier to do in the cpp vs hoping auto batching of API calls happens to not be shit.
Can't be fucked to learn cpp though.

I bit the bullet because I need to upgrade my PC. I'm not going to wait and be a coward just because of retarded RAM prices. I want my new gaming PC NOW!

No I don't care about asrocks reliability. I just need fucking RAM I'm desperate. It was either this or spend $350 for the same thing and a mono.

I'd rather spend this and get a good deal for $230. That's $125. I'll take my chances.

I only need 16gb since I'm running Linux with KDE which only uses 1.5gb on boot.

Maybe when the RAM crisis dies down I'll upgrade to 32gb

If you are clueless enough that you take literally anything those clowns at less-wrong say, you are not worth listening to. Before you link some other fallacy, I'm not arguing against you. I'm calling you a moron who isn't even worth arguing against.

>>107848369
>you take literally anything those clowns at less-wrong say
For what it's worth, I don't take anything those clowns say literally. But don't let that stop you jumping to conclusions and coming up with strawmen. Oh sorry, that's another fallacy.

>>107848445
Do you want an actual argument against what you were saying? Here's an actual argument against it.

> If you have more demand than you can supply then obviously you invest your revenue in building more factories to scale up production

OpenAI has a current market capitalization of over 50 times it's annual revenue. In simple terms, if they were to need to make their current stock liquid via revenue, it would take them over 50 years to do so. That isn't accounting for them just committing to 1.4 trillion dollars of hardware over the next 5 years, when they can't even break 20 billion in revenue. There is absolutely no future in which selling tokens (which they currently do at a loss, and will do at a loss for at minimum the next 5 years if their current publications are to be believed), will cover the astronomical expenditures they've committed to.

If this company were operating in literally any other industry, they would likely be getting their insides reamed out by the FTC. The only reason they aren't is because our current government genuinely seems to believe the scam and are afraid we will "lose the arms race to China" if they don't go all in and cut all the guard rails.

>>107848470
That's... a surprisingly strong and well informed argument. Thanks.

Digging into the weeds, I think that if their market cap growth slowed to a more precedented 2x per year
https://epoch.ai/gradient-updates/openai-is-projecting-unprecedented-revenue-growth
and revenue continued to grow at 3x per year
https://epoch.ai/data-insights/openai-revenue
then the 50 year figure would look more like 20 years by 2029.

I admit these are very risky bets, but events like the Industrial Revolution do happen from time to time. It's not impossible that the best placed company is able to pull this off, but you're right that if the bet fails then it will do systemic damage to the economy.

Not on Firefox. You're thinking of uBlock Origin Lite, the Chromium fork. I'm talking about uBlock Origin, the original project that still works on Firefox.

>>107840323
uMatrix is better at doing uMatrix things, yes. But I can get most of uMatrix's functionality through uBo. See the pic. The only thing it doesn't handle is cookies, which I handle through Firefox's "auto delete cookies on close" setting and a whitelist of sites I don't want it to happen on, like I explained. It's more of a sledgehammer than uMatrix was, but I found myself not using uMatrix's fine grained approach too much anyway.

>>107845242
uMatrix is abandonware that hasn't been touched since 2021. I'd prefer to not run something like that in my browser. Browsers are the most important thing to keep up to date. I say this as a guy who used uMatrix from its inception all the way until this month.

Coca Cola uses decocainated coca leaves for flavoring, which adds a bitter taste.
So I assure you, he doesn't have the right recipe.
Perhaps he emulated coca leaves with some of his other ingredients, but it is inaccurate.

Oh man yeah I used to work in government. I was a contractor so not officially part of the org chart, but there were like 8 layers above me to the agency director and I thin 3 were black. One was competent. One was so useless she got reassigned to be in charge of DEI stuff (this was like 10 years ago.)
There was also one really autistic middle aged woman in the chain and she was pretty cool.

thats assuming that they havent bought a giant mansion in a new-construction community and have a mortage that they are putting most of their money into. for some reason Indians love new-construction homes. Indians are only sending a small fraction of the money overseas, the rest is spent buying assets in America because they intend to stay here forever

>>107848446
plenty of h1bs have kids here and at a scale which is enough to tilt the demographics in many towns. Take a look at places like Frisco, Texas. All of the elementary schools in this town are now majority "Asian", which means Indian. you should assume that almost every h1b has had a kid here which qualifies them for citizenship in the future through sponsorship. that is how they feel comfortable enough to buy large houses and property in new construction neighborhoods. if the supreme court changes this, it will be for the better

that being said and as I just mentioned, many many people on h1 visas have kids here who are US citizens and they have all intention to raise their kids here. for their futures it bewilders me as to why they dont take a more aggresive stance in protecting the US labor market so that their children can also prosper here

>>107848517
That would make sense why they aren't actually applying for a green card yet, because they could be denied and having an anchor baby is like Disney FastPass for immigration. I suppose it's easy to forget not every Indian H-1B is living 12 to a room in a San Francisco apartment and can actually buy a family home.
Imagine the fire sale if birthright citizenship gets overturned though.

>>107848549
The only reason that more Indians have not applied for green-cards is because the employers they work for have not processed their application (PERM process) yet. Otherwise every H1b would have already filed for a green-card. It is not that h1bs are not filing a green-card because they dont want to it is because companies are hesitant to file because once an h1b has their green-card application approved they can immediately hop to a different company. why give your slave more rights than what is needed?

In general, people who use dark theme and look down on others who use light theme tend to be midwits who think they're better than everyone else because they spent the time going through the settings and flipped a switch that makes no functional difference or improvement.
