Reading the paper I have a repeating puzzlement, wondering if they are trolling or sincere. For example, about the benefits of delaying consumption to happiness:
...
For example, when asked to choose a snack from an
array that included apples, bananas, paprika-flavored crisps, and
Snickers bars, people overwhelmingly selected an unhealthy
snack if it was to be consumed immediately, but drifted toward
the healthier options when selecting a snack to be consumed the
following week (Read & van Leeuwen, 1998). Because the
present seems to be viewed under an emotional magnifying glass,
people gave in to the temptation of salty, sweet satiation when it
was immediately available, but when such satiation receded into
the future, this temptation no longer loomed large, freeing people
to select more virtuous options—and perhaps to appreciate the
abstract health benefits of a banana at least as much as the
more concrete deliciousness of nutty, chocolaty nougat.
...
I would say that delaying the pleasure in this case distances the pleasure anticipation from the decision, just like deciding to start going to the gym next week is much easier decision to do then deciding to start right now. Appreciation of the health benefits of next week's banana combined with the lesser, mediocre pleasure that will be felt eating it, might be better for the individual health then having that Savoy truffle right now, but no, the banana will never bring the same pleasure or happiness. Never.

I just checked my plan yesterday, I pay 0.13 Eur, summer and winter. I can commit to my provider for a year and lower it to 0.11, but with slightly higher fixed monthly cost (which is about 50 eur, regardless of consumption). With this prices you less likely to think about the efficiency of fans - it will probably will years to return the cost of fan replacement.
I pay 0.45 Euro for public car charging, returning the cost of installing a charger at my (rented) house will probably take 2 years.
Well, you know what's taste good and what's not - for you. You are the only judge for your own experience, and taste is an experience of the brain, not something out there. Nevertheless, most people do prefer hot meals, and there's scientifically explanation for that.
Sparkling water (8-10C is the recommendation on the bottle in my hand).
Bread (fresh from the oven, toast).
Chicken Soup.
And leaving aside examples, many things do taste better when they are hotter then 25, the heat helps more particles reach the olfactory receptors in your nose.
It gets to the point where what you do is the main question while payment is barely a minor concern way earlier than that point, at least in my experience. You don't need to be in the top AI research tier for that.
Back in my day Joe Blow wouldn't try anything as risky as a Twitter prompt, simply clicking an image link published within a message in some random forum and will scorch his pure soul with a goatsie. You don't want to google it, but I'm preety sure you can discuss it safely with ChatGPT.
You can type in whatever sequence of keys you want, but Amazon preety much created and shaped that Cloud thing, if you ever heard of it. And that's just one of their side-projects.
The point isn't that a humanoid robot walking is less efficient than a human walking, is that moving on a wheel is not the same thing as walking. For example, using wheels is not only less efficient it is barely usable for climbing rocks, going up the stairs and many other surfaces that makes the comparison irrelevant.
You could say that a robotic gun is much more efficient than a human in killing, that's another easy easy comparison of different tasks where robots win, but it totally miss the point.
Yes, but walking and moving on wheels is oranges and apples. It would be a relevant comparison if a robot with a movement mechanism based on two feet was more efficient than a human.
If you live in most cities in Italy you have to take a huge hit to your ability to get places (in a reasonable timeframe or at all) if you must do it with a car.
How is that any different from the pre-llm days, when Jim was using stackoverflow to build the largest crypto exchange in the world? Where's stackoverflow accountability?
At least for me, the answer is that despite the mistakes and the sheer annoyance the prose causes me, they are unbelievably useful. I accomplished multiple major achievements in the last two years that most probably wouldn't be possible at all, surely not within that timeframe.
The idea is that by the time you will have time and remember the clothes might be smelly and wrinkled. The issue is with the genius product manager that decided the washing machine should have the most annoying beep possible, repeating every minute whether you like it or not, until turned off. Luckily, some manufacturers do employ better product manager.
You have an answer on your page regarding "Should I pick 26B-A4B or 31B?", but can you please clarify if, assuming 24GB vRAM, I should pick a full precision smaller model or 4 bit larger model?
One can still hold that it's a better link, it's a matter of preference. Anyways, if you scroll the original article to the very end it does contain an impressive set of photos. It is beautiful.
