"I'm not really running a business, this is speculation at root" probably isn't what a buyer wants to hear from a seller I had family in the business and it paid for a lot of in-home care in the twilight years so I get it, but this is not how competitive markets are supposed to work

...not to mention, who is going to pay the colossal compute cost to train a workers' co-op LLM? I love collective software efforts but there's an enormous barrier to entry here
Mop Bucket (@mopbucket.bsky.social) reply parent
Even *large* corporations that throw significant resources at the project have so far failed to build usable internal LLMs! There's a very good reason there are only a handful of companies producing viable LLMs, and the rest of the industry is just building wrappers around thie models they create
Mop Bucket (@mopbucket.bsky.social) reply parent
Local LLMs trained on comparatively small datasets for personal projects aren't capable enough for even small business applications. There are some ML applications at that scale but that space was pretty well explored before the advent of LLMs
Mop Bucket (@mopbucket.bsky.social) reply parent
A workers' co-op can only make an LLM better for the environment if it is smaller and less capable They can not build an LLM that is less prone to hallucinations They can only implement better safety by hiring the people necessary to do it, there is no technological fix for this

I am not asking a question about nor offering an opinion on a representation of pitches or the strike zone, I am asking you a question about your understanding of physics Why you don't simply answer the question so we can continue the conversation is beyond me

Here is my question again, as you seem to have either forgotten or simply misunderstood it: How much vertical movement do you think you'll find on a 90mph pitch in the 0.012 seconds it's over the 17" of the plate?
