  • Because you don’t train your self-hosted LLM.
    As a result you only pay for the electricity of computing your tokens (your request), this can be especially reasonable if the same machine also does local game streaming and or transcoding, and thus already has the requirements to host a LLM.

    If you don’t have rather unreasonable means, your local LLM is just very much more limited in parameters (size), and will not be as good as other, much larger models.

    Privacy, Ethics and personal interest usually are the largest drivers from what I can tell.










  • Well, from the EUs perspective, while the US is certainly generally an Ally, it is sometimes a rather tense relationship.

    I’d argue, you could describe China pretty similarly, although that would be somewhat disingenuous, as I think EU and US values are more similar than EU and Chinese values.

    Anyway, if you don’t want the data of your people to go to some questionable other country, you’d have to forbid US social networks as well.




  • I’ve been wondering if it really is the right decision to put things on display which have both, a significant material value, and historical value.

    The gold of these gold coins seems to have had roughly 250,000€ in value.
    That seems like a lot of incentive to steal and melt it down.

    And what is the benefit of displaying the actual items? It’s not rare that the public is only shown a fake, one that just looks good enough to get the impression of the item.

    I was thinking (and haven’t decided yet if the idea is good) that stuff of this nature (material value + historical value) may be better off being in a more secured place somewhere, where it still can be studied by people when required, but the public can’t get at it as easily. With fakes being shown in Museums. Those fakes could them allow more interaction (like touching a dinosaur teeth/bones), and the original doesn’t suffer damage from people touching it, light and/or people stealing it and melting it down.
