Poor internet connection/no internet at all, network latency too high for their needs, specific fine tuned LLM ?

Off course, main reason is privacy. My company host its own GPT4 chatbot, and forbid us to use public ones. But I suppose there are other legit use case to host its own LLM.

Maybe worth to mention that bitwarden also propose bitwarden.eu to host data in Europe. I’ve used bitwarden.com for years, and switch to bitwarden.eu a few month ago because of reasons, you know…

I comment because this is how a social network works, and this is how you keep lemmy alive. My comment has generated a dozen of other comments, so he achieved his goal.

There is not a single question that’s already have been answered on internet, so there no point on asking anything on social plateforms except just for the sake of interacting with other peoples.

Lemmy is not stackoverflow 😉

Don’t know how list are implemented in Python. But in the dumb linked list implementation (like C++ std::list), each element has a “next” member that point the the next element. So, to have list length, you have to do (pseudo code, not actual python code):

len = 0
elt = list.fisrt
while exist(elt):
    elt = elt.next
    len++
return len

Whereas to test if list is empty, you just have to:

return exist(list.first)

Isn’t it because list is linked list, so to get the Len it has to iterate over the whole list whereas to get emptyness it just have to check if there is a 1st element ?

I’ too lazy to read the article BTW.
