Your earlier article suggests you aren't using a CDN. Might be well worth looking into - not for any bot detection so much as just having a good old fashioned cache in front of you.
It's so depressing how many comments here are just people reacting to words ... Just like they were a small LLM trained to associate "Elon" with words like "Nazi".
HN really needs a better way to surface comments based on value rather than just votes which have become increasingly tribal affiliation driven like Reddit.
I've been using Grok Build over the last couple weeks. It's actually a very good CLI.
The Grok Build 0.1 model isn't great but can also use Composer 2.5 which is excellent.
Well worth trying.
This is very true. There's also a habit where people are reluctant to get their vehicles batteries low as well. Folks seem reluctant to get below 20%. I think it comes from learned behavior from smartphones.
Composer 2.5 fast (via Grok) is honestly amazing. Its been implementing everything I've asked and getting it right first time.
Been impressed with it's front end ability.
If this was the last model I could ever use I think I would be happy.
Yes tho I'd argue that Rocket Lab has the finances to easily weather a few more years of Neutron set back if that ends up happening (fingers crossed it doesn't happen). They aren't going bust anytime soon.
So I don't see the downside as being zero.
Your entire life is subsidized by those wealthier than you. Get off your high horse.
Did you build your own house?
Did you build your own car?
Do you make your own power?
What really has been your contribution to society.
The difference is Europeans expect government to "fix" things. Americans expect companies to do that.
Eg, the disastrous energy policies all across Europe which have made price of energy insanely high with no hope of ever coming down (these high prices are all locked in with long term contracts).
America just builds lots of new power. Because of fewer market distorting policies the new power comes online at cheaper marginal rates so the price doesn't go up. And now Texas has some of the greener and cheapest energy in the West.
You are correct in the sense that they can stop work in a way many generic server use cases can't (which is seen in lowering power supply reliability requirements as the article mentions), but running expensive servers at 50% utilization would dramatically affect the revenue generated per capital invested - IE you couldn't afford to buy the servers.
The established AI players have no financial interest to make LLM available locally. They aren't hardware companies and if running LLM requires paying them to host the models as well then they can naturally capture more of the value chain = more revenue.
Apple is the only player here where it would play into their natural hardware incentive to get you to pay more for better hardware. It would make sense for them to find a way to run LLM locally (eg, newer architectures that others here have pointed out).
