When comparing Mistral with 4b quantization vs unquantized:
2 responses were significantly shorter and fairly different

Lilac is an LLM-based data curation tool. Use it to search by concept (e.g. PII, duplicates, etc.) and then drop/update the results. #ai-coding-tools#llm-ops
Eleven-labs speech synthesis with voice cloning is at the uncanny valley. With two 5-minute samples, my voice sounds a fair bit like my voice but is very clearly not my voice. I find stability ~ 30%, similarity ~ 80% and style ~50% gives a reasonable outcome. But the default voices (e.g. Joseph, George, Charlie) are excellent. #voice-cloning
#PREDICTION As humans have more conversations with LLMs, they will replace video watching and interactive gaming with conversation based role play. New game genres will evolve #future
Lungs have a Hausdorff dimension of 2.97 -- giving them one of the highest surface area to volume ratio. Brains are 2.8. Sierpinski Pyramid is exactly 2 -- which is weird. To solid-paint twice the size, you need 4 times as much paint.
High bars are constraints. I set the strongest constraints against the scarcest resources. Like reputation
Being a category of one is more defensible than a competitive advantage
Content always beats presentation. When in doubt, push for more interesting content
Regular publishing improves thinking
To build a habit, do less than you think you can do. That makes it easier to build momentum on the habit and sustain during crunch times
There is a lot of mediocrity in the world. If you're doing something (in a winner take all ecosystem), be the best.
Top lawyers are exceptional proofreaders. They are able to see what is unclair, and what is redundant, and what has loop holes very quickly.
Forcing yourself to cut down from a thousand words to 200 to a paragraph to a sentence takes you through a phase transition where you discover something unexpected
The more outrageous the question, the more likely it is to be useful in generating a new perspective
