Python linters have a one-step way to suppress all individual errors. I assumed a SaaS like Sourcegraph is the only solution to ensure a codebase doesnt become worse.
Is there a theoritical minimum for computing power required to say, target GPT-2? Is there something fundamental to prevent a gaming laptop from exceeding Claude Opus?
If you'd do this on a gaming laptop, it'd all be on SSDs, which are orders of magnitude slower than GPU's for memory access
Also, AI uses maths, called FLOPS, floating point operations
My laptop cpu (7840U) has 4.1TFLOPS, a H200 GPU has 3,958 TFLOPS
OpenAI chatgpt 5 was reportedly trained on ~100-200k nvidia GPU's
So:
- accessing data is 1000x slower
- maths is 1000x slower
- they have up to 200,000x more GPU's than a laptop
Now remember each part of the data is used multiple times, you start getting into the GPU's being 1000x1000x200,000x( data access multiple times) faster
So, I don't think there's fundamentally something impossible with training claude opus on your laptop, but moreso the time required would be so infinitely high that it's very improbable.
"build, then rebuild 3 times in less time than it would have taken to build manually" - wish this is explored more. I saw the typical guy one-shot code generation (seen one with undefined variable in happy path) and throw it over the wall. I'm trying to use my 1200 words per minute typing gift for harder tests, readable code, refactors, scripts etc. Starting with my side project though.
For countries, if you meaning connecting to VPS, lot of countries have good IPv6 connectivity now.
For me both ISPs I use have native v6. This will differ from person to person.
It is inconcievably stupid that github, run by a massive tech company like Microsoft, has not migrated to ipv6. They're single-handedly holding back adoption.
There may indeed be some tracking that MS does via IPv4, but it's not a good way to do it.
I suspect any such tracking is essentially just some cruft that snuck in (either their own or legislative) in the early 2000s, and nobody thinks it's their problem to make go away.
That said, that IPv4 is a poor way to do tracking doesn't guarantee there's no manager demanding it: any corporation eventually gets someone with no technical knowledge demanding bad solutions.
If you position an automotive product in India to be affordable, you lose aspirational consumers (India1).
Toyota is trying to position itself as a luxury brand in India in order to better defend revenue, as in NAM and JP the Toyota brand has a similar reputation as Maruti Suzuki does in India.
