People waiting for better coding models don't realize that the quadratic time and space complexity of self-attention hasn't gone anywhere. If you want an effective 1M token context, you need 1,000,000,000,000 dot products to be computed for you for each of your requests for new code.
Right now, you get this unprecedented display of generosity because some have billions to kill Google while Google spends billions not to be killed.
Once the dust settles down, you will start receiving a bill for each of those 1,000,000,000,000 dot products. And you will not like it.

There is no doubt that there are major issues w/ @SEPTA's cleanliness and safety. Still, reducing funding isn't the solution; it'll only exacerbate these issues. What we truly need is dedicated state funding to comprehensively address and resolve these challenges. #SupportSEPTA

Last night your constituent died @Mr_4thDistrict because you encouraged @PhilaStreets to build unprotected bike lanes in your district. Here's a photo with barely visible paint on the crosswalk/bikelane. Shame on you Mr Jones @bcgp @PhillyOTIS

I once hypothesized that this had to exist in South Philly, and today I finally found a wild specimen in its native habitat—
Behold the majestic chaincone

I thought the whole point of the new roped off meadow areas was to _not_ mow them anymore, was this an oopsie? @myphillypark @PhilaParkandRec

Did you know that most children who receive the vouchers come from families making over $200k.
28 Jun 2023
The school vouchers being pushed by Democratic Gov. Josh Shapiro, are @ their heart letting some kids take money out of already underfunded schools to attend private schools with no effort to even track how that money is spent. Literally robbing Peter to pay Paul. Corrupt & Wrong

Fairmount Park deserves much better than to serve as an on/off ramp and short cut to the highway

1/ I watched Robert F. Kennedy Jr. on Joe Rogan yesterday and it gave me an opportunity to look into some of the "old-school" antivax claims.
First Joe Rogan let's us know that he used to think RFK Jr. was "kinda loony", but now he's a true believer in RFK's antivax claims.

Less than a week after the I-95 collapse and there's a detour up and running, a livecam, and 24/7 construction to get it repaired.
Where's the same urgency for our public school buildings, libraries, & transit?

Interesting how on my business Twitter account that no one logs into, Twitter is choosing to push notifications about random hard-right nobodies calling for the purification of the GOP
It's clear that Elon is making Twitter a playground for his increasingly insane ideology
