I see your point. Rereading the OP, it looks like I jumped to a conclusion about LLMs and not AI in general.

My takeaway still stands for LLMs. These models have gotten huge with little net gain on each increase. But a Moore’s Law equivalent should apply to context sizes. That has a long way to go.

What drastically better results are you thinking of?

[–] TacoEvent 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

We’ve reached far beyond practical necessity in model sizes for Moore’s Law to apply there. That is, model sizes have become so huge that they are performing at 99% of the capability they ever will be able to.

Context size however, has a lot farther to go. You can think of context size as “working memory” where model sizes are more akin to “long term memory”. The larger the context size, the more a model is able to understand beyond the scope of it’s original model training in one go.

Whoa that’s a nice piece of trivia. Did some googling and it definitely has roots in MUDs, but Andrew obviously had higher ambitions visually. That’s cool.

I use a GCP daily and it steams milk just fine, just not as fast or smoothly as commercial machines.

What exactly is the problem with the milk you’re steaming?

On espresso: You might not get 25-30 seconds on a single basket pull. Go with your taste, not an arbitrary time target. Does it taste more bitter than you like? Grind coarser. Does it taste more sour than you like? Grind finer. If it tastes fine now, no reason to mess with it.

That’s awesome! I’ve noticed it on lists of top voted MUDs for a long time, but never quite got into that particularly flavor.

MUDs. Text based (generally RPG) games with incredibly immersive story telling, near infinite levels of character customization, and many even feature ways for players to build on the world itself.

I’m surprised it’s not more popular amongst D&D enthusiasts.

In its hey day, people spent thousands of dollars just to boost their characters on massive for-profit MUDs like those created by Iron Realms. But smaller MUDs like Ancient Anguish were just as quality.

Sadly they’re going extinct. Only a few MUDs are still actively maintained.

Does tapping and holding not work?

Image file format with excellent compression. It’s designed for web browsers, so what you’re probably running into is compatibility with other programs. It’s fairly easy to convert though to GIF or JPEG formats though.

Thanks for the update!!

Small visual bug with the latest version: the upvote/downvote/reply buttons of the last comment on a post can get hidden behind the menu bar at the bottom of the screen.

Collapsing comments doesn’t seem to be a feature yet. But +1 for it.

Also seems like you’ve decided to keep the toolbar displayed at all times. I think I do prefer the toolbar displayed, so thanks for it!
