That’s an accurate name for the new toy, but not as fancy as “ai”, i guess. Because we know that anything that comes out is gibberish made up to look like something intelligent.

You mean to say that Facebook isn’t the main distraction of the -10s? Before Facebook it was TV that was the circus and low prices and no/hidden VAT provided the bread.

Well, I guess I do a bit of the same:) I do (70+2)(10+3) -> 700+210+20+6

Unfortunately i think it’s the same old extortion we’ve seen before. Trump Jr already posted “I wouldn’t want to be the last country to cut a deal”, so I guess we will see more if this. Ukraine stood up against it, I hope the rest of the world does to, but I’m afraid most wount.

I don’t know how we define “enough” in this scenario, but as you allude to: in the end the USA is just some 400 million people buying things from overseas. Absolutely those who buy the most, and that is what drives the economy in many countries. It is what has picked up countries in SE Asia from poverty to industrialization.

Problem is that now when everything is more expensive in the US, the same people will stop spending. They might have spent the same money on products made in America, but those are precious few and just increased in price. So in effect everyone in America can now buy less for the same money and the industry capacity to produce what’s demanded doesn’t exist in short term. And in real estate, short term is 3-10 years.

The rest of the world? Well, most of the world just lost their biggest market. Of course, the demand that can’t be produced domestically in the US will still be seen, but at a reduced rate, which will reduce the economic development world wide, until new markers are found. China still needs to sell, but the market for the high margin stuff is reduced.

In the end? I wouldn’t be surprised if this stunt reduces world trade to such a degree it might be viewed as a notable side effect that carbon use went down. Trump might have managed to stop overconsumption like nobody else and with it energy demand. So despite doing the oil industries bidding and go against renewables, the shipping industry stand to loose enough trade that it might affect oil use world wide.

Inflation is defined as the increase of prices over a set period of time. It is in itself nothing, doesn’t do anything and its singular purpose is to be able to say how much something costs today compared to yesteryear. If the price difference depends on a supply chock (something that affects the ability to produce, like a shortage), or a demand chock (suddenly everbody rejects Tesla) is all the same, it results in a price change and can therefore be compared using the measure inflation.

The internet as we know it is dead, we just need a few more years to realise it. And I’m afraid that telecommunications will be going the same way, when no-one can trust that anyone is who they say anymore.

As you have described the situation my question is if it would be similar to copyright Donald duck, despite not having drawn all possible poses and situations?

Exactly. Grok repeatedly generate a set of numbers, which, when keyed against its own list of words, spells out that Musk is spreading misinformation.

It just happens to be frequently…

I’ve wanted something like that thumb keyboard since I had my Xperia mini pro in 2010!

Which has yet to be realised. Of it is that fast and easy to set up I’m we will see loads of them going up in notime. Specially now in the US, given how the mindset of the current administration.

Not to mention China which invests heavily in anything able to produce a watt.

Nothing to hinder advancing nuclear in the world’s 2 biggest economies! Problem solved.

And nuclear cant possibly be built in time, so I guess we are screwed. Don’t let perfect stand in the way of good. Doing nothing is not an option.

Oh, by all means. Build nuclear to your heart’s delight, but in the meantime we need to build wind, solar and water as well.

The part that annoys me the most are the ones that think that it is either or. It’s not. It’s as much as possible as fast as possible to replace as much fossil in total volume as possible.

Yeah… In fourth grade I was taught that there is nothing like an outer foe to create inner peace. I never imagined it to be the US to accomplish that, but here we are.

I’m just in the beginning, but my plan is to use it to evaluate policy docs. There is so much context to keep up with, so any way to load more context into the analysis will be helpful. Learning how to add excel information in the analysis will also be a big step forward.

I will have to check out Mistral:) So far Qwen2.5 14B has been the best at providing analysis of my test scenario. But i guess an even higher parameter model will have its advantages.

Thank you! Very useful. I am, again, surprised how a better way of asking questions affects the answers almost as much as using a better model.

I need to look into flash attention! And if i understand you correctly a larger model of llama3.1 would be better prepared to handle a larger context window than a smaller llama3.1 model?

Thanks! I actually picked up the concept of context window, and from there how to create a modelfile, through one of the links provided earlier and it has made a huge difference. In your experience, would a small model like llama3.2 with a bigger context window be able to provide the same output as a big modem L, like qwen2.5:14b, with a more limited window? The bigger window obviously allow more data to be taken into account, but how does the model size compare?

Thank you for your detailed answer:) it’s 20 years and 2 kids since I last tried my hand at reading code, but I’m doing my best to catch up😊 Context window is a concept I picked up from your links which has provided me much help!

The problem I keep running into with that approach is that only the last page is actually summarised and some of the texts are… Longer.
