Nice, main.exe seems to work just fine with the 7B quantized model - generates a token every 400ms on an AMD Ryzen 5 2600! But, quantize.exe doesn't seem to work - any valid command (such as below) pauses for a split second, then retur

Hmm, I've always been rather impressed by Gmail's spam controls. It's really rare that a spam email gets through - maybe a couple of times a year at most. On the flip side, legitimate mails occasionally go into the Spam fo

VMware's Photon OS is largely designed as a container host - I've been using it for a few years now, and it's excellent. The team are really receptive to external contributors too (it's hosted on GitHub)!

I'm with you on this. I tried Thunderbird again just a few weeks back, to see if it could replace Outlook for me. Nope, but it's nothing to do with the UI, which seems... fine? My issues were: - no support for O365, unless yo

I just had a 2TB 870 EVO fail too! There were SMART errors about uncorrectable errors, and I saw CRC errors in the OS. I lost some data. This issue is all over the Internet, yet Samsung would not acknowledge it was a known issue. They also

Right, but whoever did that would control supply - like OPEC, they could therefore control scarcity.
