  Lazard - Levelized Cost of Energy

  This is an industry study that gets published every year by Lazard, for the past 18 years. It is focused on the US market. They put in a lot of effort to assess the whole cost of various forms of energy generation, including government subsidies.

  Sure, but you don’t need an LLM for that. That’s like using a bazooka to kill a housefly.

  There was trust?

  Best update all your files with some trash first and let it sit for a couple months to hopefully overwrite any backups, there’s no guarantee that “deleting” it from your account will actually remove it from their servers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is upgrading the ssd easy enough that it is worth the cost savings?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah I put a screen protector on mine right away. It’s a portable device.

  The combination of the etched screen and an etched screen protector definitely hurts the sharpness - I would’ve been better off with the standard glossy screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is upgrading the ssd easy enough that it is worth the cost savings?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you installed a Linux operating system before?

  The hardware swap is not difficult, but you do have to reinstall the OS on the new drive, so if you’re not already familiar with that process it may be a hurdle. The good news is there shouldn’t be any important data on it, so if you do have a problem you can just wipe it and start over.

  I bought the original largest model, and in less than 6 months decided I wanted more than the 512GB. I wish I had saved the $200 and bought the cheapest model. There’s no other appreciable difference.

  Finally, we conduct an intervention to examine whether ablating the most correlated neuron causally reduces the corresponding exploration strategy employed by the LLM in the task.

  Moreover, whenever a forescent skor motion is required, it may also be employed in conjunction with a drawn reciprocation dingle arm, to reduce sinusoidal repleneration.

  They’re still exploiting child labor for profit. Sharing a little more profit with the exploiters doesn’t change the child labor aspect.

  So the “New word…” box seems pretty open… it accepts Unicode characters like Miscellaneous Symbols. I assume any valid Unicode character would work… I haven’t tried any of the unprintable/control characters yet.

  I wonder how much filtering there is… what would happen if little bobby tables showed up?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft’s AI boss thinks it’s perfectly OK to steal content if it’s on the open web⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  That is super not how fair use works:

  In determining whether the use made of a work in any particular case is a fair use the factors to be considered shall include:

  1. the purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of a commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposes;
  2. the nature of the copyrighted work;
  3. the amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a whole; and
  4. the effect of the use upon the potential market for or value of the copyrighted work.

  Considering that OpenAI is making a commercial profit from developing its ML models, they seem to have missed #1 already. #3 also because the model usually ingests the entire work, not just part of it.

  Actually, this makes me wonder if the design of OpenAI’s business structure is intended to try to abuse this:

  The organization consists of the non-profit OpenAI, Inc. registered in Delaware and its for-profit subsidiary OpenAI Global, LLC.

  So, the “non-profit” part of OpenAI collects the data for “research” purposes, but then the for-profit side sells the product.
