@npub1esg…qfua And by Moishe Horowitz even longer ago. You probably know Horowitz by his stage name, Moe Howard, who was the first actor to play Hitler on film in a satire.

In 1964, Barry Goldwater's slogan was, "In your heart you know he's right!" LBJ beat him by a huge landslide and went on to create the Great Society.
Sixty years have passed. Donald Trump's slogan is, "In your guts you know he's nuts!" I don't know yet what President Harris will create, but I do know what hat I'll be wearing when she's inaugurated!

I make experimental music. The reason I've released so little music is that most of the experiments failed to produce any.

@npub1eee…e209 When the only two responses to an "offer" are "Yes" and "Maybe Later", I have taken to reporting the offer as offensive. They know better; someone has convinced them to do that.

@npub1c9n…5q09 That looks cool - can it run locally (with a GPU) in Windows or Linux, or is it cloud-only? I have two decent GPUs but no budget for a cloud.

Howdy Fediverse: I gotta research question / curious little bug in my ear.
Given a trained large language model, can we measure / estimate the ratio of the number of bits of training data over the number of bits in the LLM's "knowledge base"? If so, what are some numbers for the most popular LLMs?
