A portrait of an IRS that has been made helpless to collect taxes owed by the very rich, no matter how blatantly and shamelessly they cheat. Super reporting here by the NY Times and @ProPublica.

(Case study starring a grifter who has never earned an honest dollar in his life.)

The amazing thing about LLMs is how much knowledge they posess in their small size. The llama3-8b model, for instance, weighs only 4.7GB yet can still answer your questions about everything (despite some hallucinations).

@noplasticshower@zirk.us avatar

@obrhoff being DEAD WRONG is not really a "hallucination"...but your point is well taken. Cramming information into a smaller space is amazing.

When you re-represent and compress information in the long tails of gradient Gaussians disappears.

Remarkable, the judge holding #Trump in #contempt says he knows $1,000 fines aren't enough—he wishes he could make it $2,500 or $150,000!
