   Perfectly acceptable by modern quality standards.

   Docker containers aren't very secure because the daemon runs as root by default. Rootless container runtimes are plenty secure, especially if the user that runs the container is unprivileged. Easiest thing in the world with Podman.

   There already are a lot of forks for things they decline to implement. TurboQuant, ROCmFPX, and more. I need to set up an agent that will loop on merging them.

   Fact. My company's largest partner is CoreWeave, and convincing leadership that we could run it ourselves on partner discounted hardware for a lot less money has gone nowhere.

   +1 on therapeutic ketamine. Got me out of a bad spot, and felt better long after it was over. You can get it by mail in the US from Mindbloom, who offered excellent care despite being remote in my case.

   Phishing implies exploitable data collection. Is that happening here?

   Looks like a Wireguard stunnel replacement, which is very useful!

    I want to know where the public water fountains went. Those are arguably a safety feature.

    It used to be common to give babies a tiny amount of brandy to sooth them. Second hand smoke is a thing.

    I've wanted to do something similar for a while now: set up a camera in a lumber mill that broadcasts a constant live stream of wood grain. Never the same pattern twice, which could be used for art and entropy. Sadly, I don't know

    The US is not better in those regards, and is more likely to fall at this point. That would leave the EU as the last best place in the world to live.

    Certainly not above reproach, and there are reasons to have beef with them (I know I do). That said, they're doing some aspects of modern democracy better than the US, and we really ought to borrow each other's best ideas.

    I have never seen a server board that offers 8x 16 lane slots. Being stuck with 7 slots means if I want an even 8 GPUs, I'd need to bifurcate one slot into x8 x8, which sacrifices a precious PCIe4 bandwidth. On the chassis side, not ha

    I gave you a direct link to where you can get a download, and explained why I chose to link you where I did. I can't post screenshots here drawing you a map of how to use a website. I don't work for Huggingface or any AI company a

    It's not the pricing that bothers me, it's the inflexibility of using fully-integrated vendors like Dell/HP over custom, vs standards compliant vendors like Supermicro/ASRock. The difference for me lies in the ability to

    I broadly knew that about temperature, but lack the background in machine learning/statistics to differentiate top-n-sigma from top-k/top-p.

    What on earth are you talking about? llama.cpp != Ollama. You can (and should) just use llama.cpp directly. Upstream llama.cpp can take the shorthand huggingface path and automagically download it into a cache folder as part of the launch.

    Official llama.cpp releases ship with huggingface support. If you don't want to download it yourself, you can just use the `repo/model:quant` convention and it will handle downloading locally for you.

    That is obvious. Less obvious is what context shifting does and whether you want it or not.

    For the things it does, what tool is better than ffmpeg? Really struggling to see the cargo cult angle. Similar for llama.cpp, as it is literally the only framework I can get to run on my multi-Radeon rig. It is the most portable runtime ou

    Please don't tell me what I need. Real 8 slots would have saved me from having to bifurcate slot 7 in my 8 GPU AI rig.
