i see your point and i want to tell you it's pretty much the same with cloud computing, which is so much more expensive than running your own hardware... and yet nobody's really questioning cloud computing (except the oxide people, but they're still tiny)
the company i work for could probably spent half its yearly cloud bill in hardware and be fine for 3-5 years.
guess who discovered the same thing and booted google cloud off their books? dhh
I suspect that at the time they had to make a decision, Rocky Linux was not in good enough state, so they went with Debian, and now they already standardized around Debian, so no need to change.
Debian is to be used for some legacy systems because RHEL introduced microarchitecture restrictions. Rest of their infra is on AlmaLinux (a RHEL-compatible distro ala Rocky).
It’s not news. AI was already being used that way. It’s just that now better ai is being used to do that.
To be 100% honest, fifteen years of woke this and woke that trying to urge me to be sad or angry for this and for that have largely desensitised me to most things.
AI is being used to target and bomb children? Such is life. It is what it is.
I doub't it. The main issue is not cost, though they do get expensive as context grows, but intelligence. A frontier model like fable becomes as dumb as haiku after 200k tokens. They have been stuck at ~1M context/200k useful context for 18 months, now, with little sign of advancement. A model with a 10M context window that retains it's intelligence up to 2M tokens would be a big breakthrough.
Or better context curation - less lossy compression saving back to context. Maybe even jettisoning part context into an external semantic store instead of conpression. Or placing less data into context to start with.
My vague understanding of the context window limitation is that it is largely a constraint of the model architecture. So maybe they have special extra long ctx, but it might just be a hard limit of the model itself.
You're illiterate. When some says 'did not do this' it is the same as 'I did not do this' and completely different from saying 'do not do this' to command someone else.

that guy is simply enlightened.
