Are the Q* models open source with open data? Asking because other than the known tianamen limitation, prompting these models for any advice about acts against authority in a corporate setting yields strong recommendations of compliance. Haven’t explored this deeply, but it was enough of a red flag to limit use to coding/logic tasks.

Skypilot is worth a mention here:

https://github.com/skypilot-org/skypilot

Open source CLI to deploy multiple gpu vm’s on all major cloud providers, with an option to use spot pricing with 1 cheap vm used as a controller to always make sure you have the most inexpensive deployment available with failover and load balancing.

It’s like beating the cloud providers at their own game I wouldn’t be surprised if they banned it.

Tell your friend to call his parents more - Most parental ‘tech issues’ escalate as an excuse to see and talk to their children more, rather than the flash attention they usually need to settle for.

“Is a relational database even appropriate for gridded weather data? No idea but we’ll find out.”

Love this. It’s the exact opposite of all the other ‘well actually’ mainstream tech posts and I am here for all of it. Props for keeping the reader fully engaged on the journey.

I'm not really sure to be honest. The traffic today has me stepping away from work occasionally to process calls in little batches :) I would probably just streamline the moderation process to make it a bit easier. For various reasons I wouldn't want it to be completely automatic (for one I just like to listen to the messages).
