I actively avoid anything that is gamified or uses engagement tricks.
I don't mind paying a subscription, if the app provides ongoing updates or new content that I value, or I understand why it has running costs. I would prefer if the app had extension packs, like games' DLCs over a subscription. If an app has a subscription, I will immediately cancel the subscription after subscribing to avoid the recurring cost (if I forget to cancel after year or so). If I find the app valuable, I will re-subscribe as needed.
I built an agent that has access to my diary, it has the ability to build hierarchical summaries of my diary, which help to compress context, I gave it tools to read pages, search using full text indexes and RAG (the former worked better, but I think it's largely because of limitation in my RAG implementation), it also has the ability to record memories (append to a specific markdown page). The latter are automatically included in the system prompt, when I invoke chat.
thanks man i need to take a look to your code bcoz as you said hierarchical summaries i try to implement it didn't work for me like i am building a system which ocr pdf of legal contracts between parties so this way breaks when there is time to extract specific clauses as per contract
Do not forget that we're talking about supercomputers. Their interconnect makes machines not easily fungible, so even a low reduction in availability can have dramatic effects.
Also, after the end of the product life, replacement parts may no longer be available.
You need to get pretty creative with repair & refurbishment processes to counter these risks.
Although, you may also go with a 5$ virtual host (e.g. Linode Nanode 1 GB) and wireguard to build your own tunnel (or just the 5$ virtual host to run your server)
i see so just run cf tunnel and ISP wouldn't be able to see I am hosting web apps? what if I am streaming large files (not torrent)? couldn't they see the bandwidths being consumed and then tell me to upgrade to business ?
Yes, an ISP could see that you're using a lot of traffic. But if the traffic is encrypted, they can't be sure what you're doing. Are you a personal user? Or are you a business? How would they know if it's all encrypted?
As for the volume of traffic you're sending, you need to read the terms of your ISP contract, at least a little. Your ISP could have volume limits (e.g. only 5TB of traffic per month), and if you reach those limits, they could temporarily suspend service. But if they can't see what you're doing, and you're within the technical and contractual limits of your service agreement, and you're not causing problems for them, then an ISP is not going to care what you do.
Heavily depends on the contract with your ISP, I'm not aware of anything saying you can't use your uplink "commercially" - how one would even define and monitor that?
I doubt. Without the Google's money that PageRank created, others wouldn't have assembled the mix of compute, information, and brains that made the invention of transformers possible.
You need the vast amount of compute to accelerate matrix computation, that came from accelerating distbelief (https://research.google/pubs/large-scale-distributed-deep-ne...) for Search and Ads. Google developed custom ASICs (TPUs) because it would have been too costly to use CPUs and GPUs for their use cases.
You need the world information that came from Search.
You need the money to pay the researchers, and the willingness to do discretionary research that may not be directly applicable to your main products.
Transformers derive from neural machine translation.
ASML is geopolitically relevant. If they want to offer dependable LLM-based solutions (even side products, like agents that help with their products) to their customers, they have to pick what partners to base their offering on.
Choosing something from US or China would add an external factor that could pull the rug at unexpected times. Mistral is safer for ASML because it has almost the same geopolitical constraints and stakeholders as they do.
This is surely meaningless. ASML's machines only work because of the US. This is not a geopolitical risk. This is a highly globalized process and all participants are significantly irreplaceable. If the US wants to harm ASML they just stop export of certain parts and materials. This would be utterly retarded because we're all on the same team here.

Google search alerts are a thing (https://www.google.com/alerts). I'd expect a public figure, however niche their following is, would set them up to track the conversation about them.
