That would be amazing! You could store the entire 450TB of ebooks in annas-archive on 4 of those disks!!!

Then comes the discussion if “1KB” is 1024 bytes or if 1000 bytes is a kilobyte.

It's the metric system and it's standard now. 1 kilobyte is 1000 bytes, just like 1 kilometer is 1000 meters. It is much easier to convert 20.415.823 bytes into megabytes - 23.4 MB.

Only windows insists on mislabeling the base 1024 kibibyte as kilobyte. The metric unit is much easier to use.

Honestly, just 90 minutes of Summer Glau beating up annoying MAGA fascists. Quentin Tarantino or Robert Rodriguez could make it work!

Sorry, I'm just curious in general how fast these local LLMs are. Maybe someone else can give some rough info.

How fast are they with a good GPU?

Huh? Doesn't everyone assume he has a whole PR team that probably runs hundreds of sock puppet accounts? Like human bots? I mean isn't a PR team basically a given for a billionaire or any special interest group?

Thanks for the interesting comment, I'm not quite sure why you're addressing it to me - I'm the very picture of mental health!

True, the people that build the pyramids were paid and fed relatively well and probably believed they served their God-emperor. But they also had slavery which helped them create enough wealth to do this. So still the pyramids were only possible because of a lot of human suffering.

Yeah that's another way of looking at it. Excessive productivity creates a class that can live in leisure and luxury and experiment with new ideas, and that can lead to useful advances. Just like it's sometimes argued that war leads to technological advances.

And then God came and ruined it all just because of a little slavery!

There is no limit to the amazing shit you can do if you have power and ignore human suffering

Cheers, didn't know that something like a usable "open images dataset" existed. Awesome.

The last bit isn't really relevant for your app, just a general rant really. It's just that I'd like better image viewing support all around. Like in browsers there is an image and you can click on it but then a new tab opens. I have imagus but it's not ideal and restricts the image to the smaller browser window. In the explorer I have quicklook now that opens images with space but the zoom feature is half assed too. Then many images apps have long startup times (>0.2 secs) or are bloaty. It's just a bit annoying that it's 2024 and PCs still can't handle images really well.
