Added this provocative note to my Llama 3.3 post concerning the CO2 impact of training the model, which Meta calculated as 11,390 tons CO2eq
"I believe that's equivalent to around 20 fully loaded passenger flights from New York to London (at ~550 tons per flight)." simonwillison.net/2024/Dec/6/l…
This new [Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct model](https://huggingface.co/meta-llama/Llama-3.3-70B-Instruct) from Meta AI makes some bold claims: > This model delivers similar performance to Llama 3.simonwillison.net
miki reshared this.
I haven't had the time to dive into the Llama 3.3 technical report yet, but from what I heard, their improvements are concentrated mostly around post-training, which I understand to be the far less compute-intensive part of the process. It's also a pretty small model, compared to the likely size of GPT-4o and such. I woudn't be surprised if a full training process for a large model had far more impact than that.
I also wonder whether these numbers are for training the specific models that were shared, or if it also included all the experiments and work that their team performed but that didn't pan out.

Today is Bandcamp Friday, where Bandcamp doesn't take a cut of sales.
If you want Bandcamp shopping recommendations, I'll mention my list of Philly music, although it could use expanding and updating: buymusic.club/list/skyfaller-p…
And you could browse my profile for more ideas: bandcamp.com/skyfaller
As you can tell, I've sunk a lot of money into Bandcamp over the years, but I've developed mixed feelings about it.
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania • Alternative • 99 collection items • 6 followersBandcamp
On the one hand, Bandcamp is one of the best ways to pay artists and preserve music through downloads and physical media. Streaming services like Spotify are a bad deal for musicians, and songs can disappear at any time.
On the other hand, Bandcamp laid off their union's entire bargaining unit in the middle of contract negotiations, and never experienced consequences.

We need music options that don't screw over labor.

Teda mrzi me ten hejt na Obsidian. Ale neco na tom bude, uz jsi druhy clovek za dva tydny, co nasel nejaky deal-breaker.
Ja jsem switchnul na Obsidian a vytesnil ze zivota vsechny ostatni productivity nastroje (Linear, Notion...). A vsecko delam v Obsidianu v closed modu (bez community pluginu) a vubec nic mi nechybi. Mimo toho mam jenom Paper na iPadu na kresleni poznamek.
Organizuju tak vse od prace, dobrovolniceni na Kalkulacce a jinde i osobni veci.
To není hejt, to je zoufání si.
Nemám čas si s tím hrát a ani zjistit, čím to je. Zároveň v tom mám poznámky, které potřebuju používat.
Možná za to může ten Kanban. Ale ani jsem ho nezkoušel vypnout, protože právě v něm mám ty nejdůležitější věci.
Jestli ale může i za to, že aplikace na čtení a psaní textových souborů mi vyžere třetinu RAMky, to nevím. Už jednu takovou mám, jmenuje se VS Code, nemůžu jet zároveň dvě 😀

Dobrou zprávou je, že ČT už o existenci Mastodonu ví. Špatnou zprávou je, že jediné, co nám to přináší, je, že musím zrušit zprávobotíky ČT.
