Yeah, ease of use. I haven't wanted to bother with running local LLMs until now because I expected it would be complicated and time consuming (and I'm technically competent). I managed to get this up-and-running in about five minutes.
- sourcecodeplz 3y agoI thought the same but llama.cpp is literally two downloads in the same folder and then you double click an .exe
- EGreg 3y agoYou lost me at .exe
- woah 3y agoReminds me of the HN comments on the original dropbox announcement: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863
- AmericanChopper 3y agoI know this comment is a bit of a meme, but in my experience “well actually you can already do this on Linux” is almost universally a calling card of an impending bad opinion.
- tpoacher 3y agoWhy bad? OP from 2007 still has a point. Actually, given dropbox's deterioration over time, FTP+SVN is sounding pretty good to me right now.
- AmericanChopper 3y agoBecause the “do it yourself on linux” advocate tends to ignore all of the reasons why a person might prefer an easy to use, 3rd party managed services. Which could include not wanting to accept all of the compromises required to use Linux for personal computing, not having the competence to implement a Linux solution, or not having the motivation or time to maintain their own Linux-based services. So even when the solutions they advocate are perfectly decent, it tends to be associated with a lack of insight into how small of a segment people with the same competencies and preferences as them represent.
