I was begging a contractor to mount the bathroom radiator and fix 2 #valves for more than a year. Then the second one. And a third one. No reaction. I know it's a small job, but I would pay any amount.
Today I bought a pipe cutter for 17€, shortened pipes and mounted #radiator with the help of my wife. It took us 3 hours.
It wasn't difficult, but I would rather spent this time hiking, swimming, or doing nothing :)
We carry on with our current development direction with AI and LLMs, etc
Except that all the dot-product matrix multiplication for query weights, key weights, value weights, softmax normalisation, word2vec making, gradient descent and all the other transformer shit, is carried out using only computing apparatus constructed entirely out of thermionic valves such as the 12AX7 or ECC83
