Still on XMonad, what are some good alternatives?

It would indeed be better to create appropriately sized storage.

However, I don't think that underlying array is resized every time `add` is called. I'd expect that resize will happen less than 30 times for 1M adds (capacity grows geometrically with a=10 and r=1.5)

I was in SF back in May, but didn't manage to get through the waitlist :(

It was so cool to see them diving around.

Interestingly, when I showed the clips to some of my senior family members, they didn't seem interested at all. I think they couldn't comprehend what was going on, even after I explained.

Their (several independent trials) reaction was similar to showing them some AI-generated image of something which clearly can't exist. It was so absurd that it was just filtered out with a comment "yeah, yeah - nice car".

A “productivity hack” for folks who can’t afford this and already own iPad+Pencil which they primarily use indoors: switch to grayscale mode, it is awesome :)

> The output quality is not "ruined" at all.

That was my experience as well - 3-bit version is pretty good.

I also tried 2-bit version, which was disappointing.

However, there is a new 2-bit approach in the works[1] (merged yesterday) which performs surprisingly well for Mixtral 8x7B Instruct with 2.10 bits per weight (12.3 GB model size).

Worth reading: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jasenovac_concentration_camp

> Operated by the governing Ustaše regime, Europe's only Nazi collaborationist regime that operated its own extermination camps

> It quickly grew into the third largest concentration camp in Europe

> Unlike German Nazi-run camps, Jasenovac lacked the infrastructure for mass murder on an industrial scale, such as gas chambers. Instead, it "specialized in one-on-one violence of a particularly brutal kind", and prisoners were primarily murdered with the use of knives, hammers, and axes, or shot

> Ustaše regime having murdered somewhere near 100,000 people in Jasenovac between 1941 and 1945

I didn't try the other ones, but the one I mentioned is the most frictionless way to use several different LLMs I came across so far. I had very low expectations, but this package has good sauce

Also worth checking out for more general use of LLMs in emacs: https://github.com/karthink/gptel

I asked what happened last week in one specific region of Europe, and the answer contained a list of relevant events among which was the one I was looking for.

Then I asked it to tell more about the specific item and it gave me a decent answer (model: pplx-7b-online).

Pretty good experience so far.

I don't mind paying, but I want to have a Linux workstation.

What would be x86 alternative in that price range (if any)? Xeons with HBM are more expensive IIRC
