I lived in three different countries in my life, and neither of them have been the US, but all of them have apparently had free South Park episodes available to them :) I don't know if that website works/shows full episodes in the

There wasn't any instructions how the author got ollama/llama.cpp, could possibly be something nvidia shipped with the DGX Spark and is an old version?

People use separate computers for wide range of reasons. My desktop isn't always running Linux for example, or even from the same partition always, and to run something 24/7 I need to host it not on my for-work desktop. I also run

LED walls are cool (and cheap via China) otherwise, and you can start small and then expand if you want since it's relatively modular, just a bunch of square LED panels linked together. You would need a driver though which you may or m

Thanks a lot for the pointers, I think I've done a similar approach to what you suggest, lots of tiny (relative) tests for each step in the process, and doing sort of sanity checking between the naive stuff I first wrote which works an

Because it's a duplicate, the very same story was featured yesterday ( https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45684934 ) with over 400 comments, so (sadly for you) it proves that the point you were trying to make is hilari

We all have our writing quirks, like how some people use shorthand for words where there is only a marginal difference (like "people" => "ppl"), or even people who capitalize the start of sentences, but not the start
