Before the advent of LLMs, ML was used in upscaling the assets and pre-rendered backgrounds of the first 3 classic Resident Evil games: https://www.reshdp.com

Makes one wonder, why should anyone embark on learning this intricate and time-consuming art of reverse engineering when LLMs are on their way to automate it in seconds...

It's not just corpo talk. The ultimate goal in LLM and AI progress is "replacement" of professional knowledge workers. In the march of the 9s of the accuracy of the generated LLM output, the engineers role would matter less and less.

It's asking engineers to "adapt" to being efficient in filling out the last 10% then 1% then 0.1% then 0.01%.

Please explain this "adapting". The LLM sellers' holygrail is * you just need to crank our model bro *. With this mindset, there is no adaptation needed, save a couple of weeks of getting up to speed with nuances of using the models, the / commands and integration of their APIs into your workflow.

Are off-shelf GPUs (like one 3090) suitable for modern academic research on current AI advancements or is it better to rent some cloud compute?

Does anyone have rough numbers (max daily users etc) on viability of SQLite vs PostgreSQL for a typical user-facing webapp or e-commerce application?

I know due to some recent update, SQLite can support concurrent reads but still only a single writer. For which cases this would be a problem?

Some recommend it's better to start with postgres anyway if you have any remote thoughts of scaling in mind....

Like imagine editor is on ws2, you open a terminal to /tmp/ to check something quick, it scrolls to the right, then jump to ws3 for your file manager and other stuff and go back to your editor.

Now you want to access that terminal on /tmp/ again. Where was it?

In i3, I just spam-switch workspaces in this case, but at least I can find them. With scrollable wms, every ws can potentially hold that target app.

Yes, still on each workspace, everything is visible on i3. I wonder how scroll to the right differs from i3's tabbed panes.

One of the advantages of tilling wm are that every window that is run, is visible too. Nothing invisible exists.

But in this "endless horizontal tilling" scheme, the above principle would no longer hold, right?

So if one wants to open-source his project and sell it :

- Licence as AGPL

- Mention that commercial use (without having to open source the derivative work) is available

Did I get it right?

1- Is this solution useful for subscription-based contract too?

2- Does it make a difference if the product is a app, library or hardware device?

Would the "LLM era" revitalize languages like Ada and Haskell into mainstream?

Didn't Google say that they're gonna provide an escape hatch for students and hobbyists? So, best case scenario, we just need to tap some label 5 times to enable side-loading again.
