After ther recent acqusition and firing of a lot of staff, it might not be the best alternative

Edit: article with more details can't find a non paywalled version and not really any other pages that discuss the firing, just the acquisition

A proper (CNC) milling machine and lathe, like ones you can work hardened steel with. Lots of better things you could buy for that money, but with a mill and lathe i could make those things for even more money!

Edit: oh and a proper garage/hobby room to put them in

Actually, as to your edit, the it sounds like you're fine-tuning the model for your data, not training it from scratch. So the llm has seen english and chinese before during the initial training. Also, they represent words as vectors and what usually happens is that similiar words' vectors are close together. So subtituting e.g. Dad for Papa looks almost the same to an llm. Same across languages. But that's not understanding, that's behavior that way simpler models also have.

Though half the time it's

deleted

thanks that really solved my problem, you're amazing!

I still have mixed feelings about deleting one's whole comment history, though i also did that when I left reddit. it's the right thing to do, but the amount of information lost because of greedy leadership is super sad.

Techies interested in privacy and fairness is just another target/focus group to be marketed to..

But even given that every company sucks(eventually) and every ceo is an asshole. there's something to be said about about spreading out and e.g. using proton over gmail and other google services.they might both suck, but at least if it's spread out, there's not one asshole ceo that controls all our stuff at once. You can't vote with your wallet, but preventing monopolies (the natural end game of a free market) by supporting smaller alternatives can still be worthwile. Not that it solves the underlying issues, but i think it can at least slow the decay a bit.
