1 year agoI can run VMWare’s Open LLama 7B v2 Open Instruct on my laptop comfortably (though I have 64GB ram and 16GB VRAM) and my sense is that’s it’s probably somewhere between GPT2 and GPT3 in inference quality. It is, however, very slow. Even with my comparatively strong hardware, it’s slow enough that I wouldn’t want to use it in an interactive context (though it may be useful for background processing)
Skill - you can set yourself up in locations where the light is good and the angle is good and pick appropriate settings to maximize the image quality. Knowing how high of a shutter speed you need and how to track something that’s moving and keep it in focus are absolutely learnable.
Patience - i could never be a wildlife photographer since i’m just not willing to sit long enough. I’ve got some good shots by chance, but you can’t really wake up and decide - today i’m going to take a great shot of an eagle.
Equipment - long fast lens, sensors with excellent high ISO performance
Post Processing - digital tools have gotten really good for sharpening and increasing the resolution on images.
