If an LLM is going to run in your phone, the model is going to have to be small.

> Paradoxically, smaller models require more training to reach the same level of performance. So the downward pressure on model size is putting upward pressure on training compute.

Running an open source LLM requires a lot of resources. The smallest model may run on a powerful laptop, but beyond that, you'll need a server. Besides the GPU (probably Nvidia), check out the disk space requirement for Llama 3.1

8b parameters, 4.7GB
70b parameters, 40GB
405b parameters, 231GB

51% of Americans support the idea of mass deportations, including 42% of Democrats, according to a survey of 6,251 adults conducted online in April by The Harris Poll.

> The same poll found many Americans are confused about basic facts of illegal immigration. Nearly two-thirds believe immigrants receive more in welfare and benefits than they pay in taxes. In fact, most U.S. undocumented immigrants pay taxes but aren't eligible for the benefits themselves.

It's not a democracy when the population is deceived on important issues.

Diachrony (or diachronic shifts) resurrects a word from 1857, better expressing *changes through time*. A social practice publication in 1998 contrasts synchronic with diachronic. ingbrief.wordpress.com/2024/04
