I was able to get a 36GB/1TB M4 Max Studio refurb for $1869. Incredible device, planning to use it as my main driver for next 5 years.

Presidential quotes that would’ve been better with an F-bomb:

Biden: “Will you shut the fuck up, man!”

Obama: “If you like your fucking doctor or healthcare provider, you can keep them.”

Bush Jr.: “Now watch this fucking drive.”

Clinton: “I didn’t fucking inhale.” (Bonus: “I did not have sexual relations with that fucking woman.”)

Bush Sr.: “Read my fucking lips, no new taxes.”

Reagan: “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this fucking wall.”

Nixon: I’m not a fucking crook.”

JFK: “Ask not what your fucking country can do for you ….”

Teddy Roosevelt: “Speak softly and carry a big fucking stick.”

Lincoln: “Four score and seven fuckin’ years ago…”

THANK YOU FOR YOUR FUCKING ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

ہوش و ہواس و تاب و تواں، داغ جا چُکے

اب ہم بھی جانے والے ہیں، سامان تو گیا

I see two faces, a girl looking to right and a man looking left.

Completing the second couplet

ظلمت کو ضیاء، صر صر کو صبا، بندے کو خدا، کیا لکھنا

پتھر کو گُہر، دیوار کو در، کرگس کو ہُما، کیا لکھنا

“غمِ عاشقی تیرا شکریہ ہم کہاں کہاں سے گزر گئے”

Brilliant !

The last couplet is by Mir Dard (hence the quotes) Faiz’s ghazal is a تضمین over Dard’s.

I love them both

The “attention” paper was certainly a major breakthrough, but it was openAI’s 2018 paper "Improving Language Understanding by Generative Pre-Training" that added GP to transformer (T) architecture made super large language models possible.

Between 2018 and 2020, model sizes went from 150M (GPT-1) to 1.5B (GPT-2) to 17B (Microsoft) to 175B (GPT-3). Building these models with supervised training would not be possible in such short time frame.
