Some problems do not deserve your full attention/expertise.

I am not a physicist and I will most likely never require to do anything related to quantum physics in my daily life. But it's fun to be able to have a quick mental model to "have an idea" about who was Max Planck.

Why would you need to run inference through a GPU farm for that? The wikipedia article on him is pretty interesting.

Funny you should mention him, I am very interested in his conceptions about the nature of reality:

'Planck said in 1944, "As a man who has devoted his whole life to the most clear headed science, to the study of matter, I can tell you as a result of my research about atoms this much: There is no matter as such. All matter originates and exists only by virtue of a force which brings the particle of an atom to vibration and holds this most minute solar system of the atom together. We must assume behind this force the existence of a conscious and intelligent spirit [orig. geist]. This spirit is the matrix of all matter."'

Really interesting quote, synchronicity hits me well, thanks for sharing :)

The Wikipedia might lack the interactivity I enjoy from the technology ? I mean, I'm all up for local LLMs, but currently this just seems overpriced...
