Nice work!

Well, now I don’t want to.

Your comments have made it QUITE clear that you have no idea.

Odd, I can say the exact same thing about your comments on the subject.

We are clearly at an impasse that won’t be solved through this discussion.

Why are you so focused on just the training?

Because I work with LLMs daily. I understand how they work. No matter how much I type at an LLM, its behavior will never fundamentally change without regenerating the model. It never learns anything from the content of the context.

The model is the LLM. The context is the document of a word processor.

A Jr developer will actually learn and grow in to a Sr developer and will retain that knowledge as they move from job to job. That is fundamentally different from how an LLM works.

I’m not anti-AI. I’m not “crying” about their issues. I’m just discussing the from a practical standpoint.

LLMs do not learn.

You do understand that the model weights and the context are not the same thing right? They operate completely differently and have different purposes.

Trying to change the model’s behavior using instructions in the context is going to fail. That’s like trying to change how a word processor works by typing in to the document. Sure, you can kind of get the formatting you want if you manhandle the data, but you haven’t changed how the application works.

What part about how LLMs actually work do you not understand?

“Customizing” is just dumping more data in to it’s context. You can’t actually change the root behavior of an LLM without rebuilding it’s model.

Unless you are retraining the model locally at your 23 acre data center in your garage after every interaction, it’s still not learning anything. You are just dumping more data in to its temporary context.

… That keeps making the same mistakes over and over again because it never actually learns from what you try to teach it.

If it were tilted differently (within reason), then different life would have evolved.

Better than PEBKAC.

AKA, the update where they start charging you to use your own hardware.

The price is great, but the display looks pure black and white. I’d jump on it if at least had a few levels in between.

About 10 years ago I worked for a company that wrote software for restaurants’ food safety inspectors in South Dakota… All 3 of them… 3 people to inspect every restaurant in the entire state. They were over 5 years behind on some of the inspections.

If that’s how food safety was prioritized back then, just think what it must be like today.

My 3090 works flawlessly

To be fair, they were probably not designed to work outside, often with sunlight hitting them directly.

Anyone using that thing for “long distances” will be dead by the time they arrive at the speed that things moves.

DEI isn’t preferential treatment. It’s a methodology for correcting past, and preventing future preferential treatment.

And yes, I read your entire comment. The last 2 paragraphs are fine, but your first paragraph misses the mark by miles. What you describe in the first paragraph isn’t DEI.

Wait, we’re thriving?

Working from home makes life significantly better, but that’s a pretty low bar.

• it’s time for quarterly security training again where you learn not to open exe files attached to emails.

Is it to apologize for sinking our yachts?
