They're related but more precise in purpose and tend to actually be vastly more performant for the specific and specialized tasks...

I'm reminded of a World of Darkness conversation I wasn't even involved in: "Why is your character starting with a 5 in Intelligence?"...

The only reason you can use LLMs freely is companies burning literally billions to tens of billions as loss-leaders to try and create...

I mean, we were talking about people we meet. I might try asking the cashier at Tesco's tomorrow how many steps their tolerance is, but...

Calling using "circumstance modifier" correctly, as a term that means a modifier based on the actual circumstances (like it sounds), as...
