What troubles me is how many projects are using ollama. I can't stand that I have to create a model file for every model using ollama. I have a terabyte of models that are mostly GGUF, which is somewhere around 70 models of various sizes. I rotate in and out of new versions constantly. GGUF is a ~container~ that already has most of the information needed to run the models! I felt like I was taking crazy pills when so many projects started using it for their backend.

Text-generation-webui is leagues ahead in terms of plug and play. Just load the model and it will get you within 98% of what you need to run any model from HF. Making adjustments to generation settings, prompt and more is done with a nice GUI that is easily saved for future use.

Using llama.cpp is also very easy. It takes seconds to build on my windows computer with cmake. Compiling llama.cpp with different parameters for older/newer/non-existent GPUs is very, very simple... even on windows, even for a guy that codes in Python 97% of the time and doesn't really know a thing about C++. The examples folder in llama.cpp is gold mine of cool things run and they get packaged up into *.exe files for dead simple use.
Same here, paint work is not my forte but I'm interested in learning more and improving my skill set in this area. I've found through various failed paint projects that surface prep is critical. I used to think that paint would 'fill in' minor surface issues like scratches but it seems to actually highlight them in some cases. Your paint job looks really nice though. Thanks for your insight and nice work on the restoration!
FYI I have psoriasis and I was consciously avoiding any dirt as a kid, I was just always repulsed by dirt and mud and whatnot (was not a huge fan of sand either)... Years later I find out that non-exposure to certain environmental bacteria (that usually exist in dirt) within a certain developmental window results in a much higher chance of getting stuck with lifelong psoriasis... F___ me

Maybe this whole "emitting body waste into a liquid" thing isn't a good idea. Maybe vacuum containers should be held to one's body during emissions and the silver/copper/stainless steel interfaces cleaned with lasers and UV afterward. The toilet was a great innovation in its day, but it seems ripe for disruption.
I have noticed that there is a conflation between "simple" (i.e. not complex) and "easy".

Often simple is a lot of work (often times more than complex work). Easy work often just adds quick wins at the cost of tech-debt or unseen complexity.

It is tempting to take the easy path, or allow complexity to grow as systems evolve. Simplicity usually requires a conscious effort and deliberate design work to achieve.

I was bitten by a cat. Many, many times.

I used to play with a cat as a child, never had a problem, and then one day, for no reason, I got bitten.

And it happened again and again!

No complaints, would grow up with a cat again.

Thank you so much everyone, all the help was really needed and useful : )
I know this is serious science, but I can't help but wonder, how did these people conduct their research?

I kept thinking the toilet in a gas station, but I'm sure they did it in an isolated, purpose-built toilet in a research facility.

But shit is shit, and how did they "deploy" the object for repeatable experiments?

> Today, iOS users already have the ability to set a third-party web browser — other than Safari — as their default. Reflecting the DMA’s requirements, Apple is also introducing a new choice screen that will surface when users first open Safari in iOS 17.4 or later. That screen will prompt EU users to choose a default browser from a list of options.

Any idea if this means you can actually choose a different browser, or are you choosing a different WebKit wrapper (e.g. the current version of Chrome on iOS)?
The 7,754 figure is a 2022 point-in-time statistic [1]. On February 23, 2022, there were 7,754 homeless people in San Francisco.

A better way to parse the $1.1bn is as $3mm per night, or $390 per homeless person per night. That, at first glance, indicates a massive waste of resources given the problem is unresolved.

> This change is a result of the DMA’s requirements, and means that EU users will be confronted with a list of default browsers before they have the opportunity to understand the options available to them. The screen also interrupts EU users’ experience the first time they open Safari intending to navigate to a webpage.

How will users be able to understand the options in front of them unless they are presented with it in the first place?

The difference is, to put in Rumsfeldian fashion, between known unknowns (kids proving QR now) and unknown unknowns (euler sensing QR, gauss proving it).

That Euler knew most of the math of his time is irrelevant. If one had any serious learning at any time in most of human history one would know all the math of their time.
you seem to think that Dave and Ben have any control whatsoever over the Chengdu worldcon.

They don't.

World science fiction conventions are autonomous and independent of one another, apart from (in theory) having to abide by the WSFS constitution. There is no permanent floating worldcon organization that oversees these events. It has worked up until now -- through 81 conventions in a variety of countries -- because everyone abided by an unspoken agreement to observe the rules.

The Chengdu concom appeared to be following the rules right up until they didn't any more and went "rules? what rules?"

Here's your brief intro to what worldcon is:

I was actually one of those in Marka. The problem wasn't really getting cold. It was that cold snow doesn't compress to a form, it just gets really crunchy.

That's nothing, one small kid with one remaining cowpox lesion was the source of vaccination material for Spanish America.

(They took off from Europe with 22 kids and did an "infectious relay" in pairs. By the time they got to South American mainland, precisely 21 kids already resolved their cowpox. One last kid was still barely infectious, thus becoming the sole source of the vaccination material.)
Yeah, it's not upstreamed in Wine, you can check the linked video which explains why (same problem as with esync basically, some Windows logic like wait on all and nt pulse event doesn't work with it).

The funny part is that those are almost never used anyway, so it's more of a formality on the Wine part to be always correct. But at least it's moving somewhere now possibly.

What I find more insidious is saying that certain political candidates are incompatible with democracy. Like we will allow people to vote but take Trump's name off the ballot. It's like holding a Brexit vote and taking Leave off the ballot so the only choice is Remain. Public choice is the cornerstone of democracy, and if half the people aren't voting it's probably because the choice they want isn't on the ballot and the existing options aren't good enough
The solutions are one thing, sure, but I was merely referring to this comment from Lessig:

Q: "Just to be clear, this is the generative AIs, not the recommendation algorithm AIs."

A: "I think they’re the same thing right now. They will be deployed hand in glove in order to achieve the objective of the person deploying them."

Therefore, I am little skeptical also about Raskin's take that recommender systems would be "unsophisticated". If you look at TikTok, the contrary holds (even if his argument about misalignment is true).
I hear you. It's good to point out and hold accountable people in positions of power who are corrupt.

My argument is that (to me) I doubt a leader being corrupt is uncommon. Thus I think it's worth questioning why we are focusing so heavily on this one specific person versus a general story on corruption.

For instance, does someone have an agenda against her identity or political views? That definitely doesn't exonerate her, but it's worth sensing if we the public are having our attention focused in a certain way in service of someone's agenda.
Money isn't any easier to trace than data packets.

The answer to the rhetorical titular question is 'some probably have, but not in general, no'.

The business logic goes in a .cljc file, and the frontend and backend are both written in Clojure, so it doesn't matter if the components are rendered into html on the server or on the client.

The win isn't avoiding js so that you can have more html, the win is clojure's (edn) data-oriented approach to frontend (hiccup) that lets us use the most powerful language in sight (clojure) to never have to write any js or html. (:

Not sure why they used viruses? Most of the interesting fecal pathogens are bacteria — particularly E. coli, Clostridium dificile, Vibrio spp., Shigella spp..

Tesla investors have been fed on this diet of “actually Tesla is a XYZ company” and they’ve learnt to copy it without thinking about it too much.

Tesla stans are great, they keep Tesla stocks high. But their conceptions of stock valuation reminds me of crypto.
