Pessimist: the cup is 1/2 empty

Computer Scientist: The cup variable could be optimized to use half the memory.
Optimist: the cup is 1/2 full

Pessimist: the cup is 1/2 empty

Deaf ppl: I filled the cup and forgot to turn the sink off and now the house is half full 💀

Now that "scale is all we need" has predictably faltered...

1. Small AI models often perform better in context.
