Is this some form of rage bait? 2005 we hadn't the GPUs, we have today. There are other factors, but I think this is the big one. The mathematics of building an LLM are really old, we just hadn't the hardware to do the needed calculations.
Oh my, I saw half of these movies as a kid and all of them left scars on my soul. Watching Poltergeist as a kid is like watching Event Horizon as an adult (I recommend watching Event Horizon though).
To be fair, the "beeps and lights a led" part is very important in case of a dead disk in an array. The only time, I disrupted a service in production for longer than a few hours was when I didn't get the email of a degraded raid 1 array and the second disk died a few weeks later.
"It's still pretty obvious and still much worse than human prose"
You have no idea how many false positives and how many false negatives you have in your judgement. It is indeed impossible to differentiate between badly written human text and somewhat good written llm text.
They didn't sued Thomann and they didn't show up. They sued some Chinese guy who didn't show up and used that default judgement against everyone including Thomann.
They don't seem to understand, that there is no way out of it except giving the guy all the Lego sets or 200k dollars and saying "we are very sorry" multiple times.
They're still trying to save their face and money and it might ruin the whole franchise.
I switched to MacOS a few months ago from sway and I really try to be as open as possible to the mac way of life, because I don't want to fight my OS. But, boy, mission control is unusable crap. I was really shocked how dumb everything around this feature was made. Things that were possible a few years ago, are not possible anymore. Like switching to desktops/workspaces by keyboard. Or the grid.
With the app "AltTab" I can at least switch between my apps without using the mouse and with raycast I can position windows, but it is painful how much slower switching and positioning things in MacOS is, than in any tiling window manager.
Vivaldi is the browser, where I always wonder why it doesn't get mentioned in all the privacy enhanced browsers. It's the only browser for me, that reliably filters out all ads with ublock origin while working on all websites without any problems. Also the company behind Vivaldi is not in USA/China/Russia, which also helps from my point of view.
I have kind of the same architecture. I host multiple dedicated servers and vps instances in the Hetzner "cloud", but all of these connect to a few hosted databases by Hetzners web hosting packages for like 20 bucks a month. It sounds insane, but the one thing that absolutely needs to stay online, is the database, so not hosting this myself makes sense. And since Hetzner is apparently tuned their dirt cheap databases pretty well, we can hammer them pretty hard without any problems.
To me this makes no sense. Nothing in web development changes because of long running requests, there are plenty of solutions for this. The most easy one is to just listen long enough on a http request for the answer.
The routing problem can be mitigated with session pinning.
Http2 and 3 have solutions for streaming data, websockets can be used, and pub/sub also.
Heck, we could push the LLM response in a k2v system/redis and read it from there.
"State is in the DB" is running strong and will be for decades to come.
