The top comment mentions a ~10^3 overhead. Am I crazy (or already old?) for thinking this is not a very large constant?

Oh I see, you’re arguing that computer growth will make this more attractive. I think it’s a decent argument, although personally I find it unconvincing. More compute will be allocated between all the existing options, and I suspect it will go towards faster/better inference, instead of encryption. For most use cases people just don’t care much about encryption, and when feature prioritization comes around it always gets a back seat
