Yeah, I was a bit baffled by the author complaining about cache prefixes getting destroyed when more than one user hit the model, but then continuing to use llama.cpp instead of switching to vLLM.

TIL that our corporate network site blocker classifies qwen.ai as a sex site…

That last quote, buried at the end of the article, absolutely killed me. I cannot believe he had the nerve to say that doing what he does everyday

I regularly buy full albums and individual tracks on the Apple Store. AFAIK Amazon also still offers the same, both stores are DRM free

A competent person does not summon every senior leader in his worldwide organization to be physically present for an hour in an auditorium while he blusters and attempts to deliver TV-ready one-liners. A competent person also does not take over a massive organization that relies on these senior executives’ decades of experience and immediately fire a non-trivial number of them because of their gender or skin color.

Can you point us to a resource that would layout guidelines for placing laptop stickers in an aesthetically pleasing manner?

I just started going a few years back and I agree, it is really well done. One of my neighbors is the king’s main guard, so we get all sorts of behind the scenes anecdotes at the kids’ bus stop in the morning.

The difference for purposes of the conversation happening here is skin color absolutely does not affect cognition where age definitely does.

The website has some really good tutorials you can knock out in an afternoon that teach you the basics of using the interface, along with the more important stuff about GIS terminology and jargon.

We have some friends (husband and wife) that we met because our kids play together and they are the first people I’ve met that are licensed ham operators! They each have their operator number on their license plates for their respective cars since our state has radio operator plates you can upgrade to!

Not OP, but we use the docling library to extract text and put it in markdown before storing for use with an LLM.

My favorite music podcast, You’ll Hear It, uses “is it better than KOB” as one of their album review metrics!

> the product occupies little space and it's trivial to keep around

Haha, I have found this to absolutely NOT be the case! Each individual mini only takes up and inch or so, but they multiply and between them and the brushes/airbrush/paint racks and the ever-increasing grey Pile of Shame, it’s not a small amount of space taken up!

It is an extremely rewarding hobby with a low bar to entry, though, and I agree that I will probably never stop.

This definitely works. I have two profiles on IG: one for musical instrument related things and one for painting miniatures. I’ve been able to keep both profiles strictly on topic by aggressively using the “not interested” button whenever something not related pops up.

This is bad advice. Ollama may be “just a wrapper”, but it’s a wrapper that makes running local LLMs accessible to normal people outside the typical HN crowd that don’t have the first clue what a Makefile is or what cuBlas compiler settings they need.

I'm really hoping they talk about the Starcraft 2 API they're working on. Looking forward to getting my hands on a tool less finicky than BWAPI.
