woo! but still also check out pomsky, it's legit handy!
a'ight, sure bub, let's play
tell me what hw spec I need to deploy some kind of interactive user-facing prompt system backed by whatever favourite LLM/transformer-model you want to pick. idgaf if it's llama or qwen or some shit you've got brewing in your back shed - if it's on huggingface, fair game. here's the baselines:
- expected response latencies: human, or better
- expected topical coherence: mid-support capability or above
- expected correctness: at worst "I misunderstood $x" in the sense of "whoops, sorry, I thought you were asking about ${foo} but I answered about ${bar}"; i.e. actual, contextual, concrete contextual understanding
(so, basically, anything a competent L2 support engineer at some random ISP or whatever could do)
hit it, I'm waiting.
how dare I use someone's own words against them!
You can experiment on your own GPU
you have lost the game
you have been voted off the island
you are the weakest list
etc etc etc

I’ve spent 6+ years of my life in compsci academia
eh. look.
I realize you'll probably receive/perceive this post negatively, ranging as anywhere from "criticism"/"extremely harsh" through ... "condemnation"?
but, nonetheless, I have a request for you
please, for the love of ${deity}, go out and meet people. get out of your niche, explore a bit. you are so damned close to stepping in the trap, and you could do not-that.
(just think! you've spent a whole 6+ years on compsci? now imagine what your next 80+ years could be!)
ah yes, my ability to read a pdf immediately confers upon me all the resources required to engage in materially equivalent experimentation of the thing that I just read! no matter whether the publisher spent cents or billions in the execution and development of said publication, oh no! it is so completely a cost paid just once, and thereafter it's ~totally~ free!
oh, wait, hang on. no. no it's the other thing. that one where all the criticisms continue to hold! my bad, sorry for mistaking those. guess I was roleplaying a LLM for a moment there!

My most honest goal is to educate people
oh and I suppose you can back that up with verifiable facts, yes?
and that you, yourself, can stand as a sole beacon against the otherwise regularly increasing evidence and studies that both indicate toward and also prove your claims to be full of shit? you are the saviour that can help enlighten us poor unenlightened mortals?
sounds very hard. managing your calendar must be quite a skill
this isn't the place to decide which seed generator you want for your autoplag runtime
"oh shit I got called out on my shitty haha-only-serious comment, better pretend I didn't mean it!" cool story bro
oh, I get it, you personally choose not to make these structurally-repeatable-by-foundation errors? you personally choose to be a Unique And Correct Snowflake?
wow shit damn, I sure want to read your eventual uni paper, see what kind of distinctly novel insight you've had to wrangle this domain!
