Wait, it's a 100M model. It's certainly very good they open sourced it, but its definitely not big considering we have 330B models. Perhaps it's big for this type of a model? I for one would love to see a lot more highly capa

This article is actually very good at explaining exactly what is it Redhat is doing and why. And I find myself in agreement with author's conclusion. I started my Linux journey with Redhat Linux 5.1 (Manhattan) I got on CD-Roms in a pa

So don't do a bloody tripple bypass with a butter knife. Just stop the bleeding. Jeez, this conversation is the best illustration of everything that's wrong with geoengineering ideas. Indeed we have practiced quite a bit. Read on

More people should upvote your post. If there is a rank of how easily humanity can destroy itself and make the earth uninhabitable for itself geoengineering is probably second only to thermonuclear war. Also I object to the use of the term

From previous answers it appears you're using standard lama-7b (quantized to 4 bits). I suppose you're doing a search on the notes than you pass what you found with the original query to lama. This technique is cool, but there are

One of the biggest things that contribute to the feeling of slowness today are all the animations /transitions etc. The very first thing I do when installing a new version of gnome is disable all of it. It suddenly feels 5x faster.

Windows 95 "theme" was very nice for the CRT monitors and their resolutions of back in the day (1024x768 etc). Running it on a modern display?... I don't get it.

You can say a lot about nVidia, but for me all their products mostly just work on Linux(I use cuda a lot). I don't understand why AMD is having such trouble doing the same. Likewise with CPUs. It is ironic I have to be using Intel&#x27

I find it fascinating modern humans are thought to have evolved 300k years ago, but we haven't got any idea what happened before last ice age. I find it hard to believe people would just "stay in Africa" prior to last ice age

Come on, in the end it's the driver that's responsible. It is in fact a "car accessory". Calling for "more regulation" will blow out small companies like comma ai out of the market. It's a miracle one can

Isn't stevia non controversial? It's essentially a plant extract. Personally my problem with sweeteners is twofold. First, they are massively overused (especially in drinks). Second sugar adds more than just sweetness. It thickens

Indeed. I used to own a vintage IBM AS400 server system and a separate disc enclosure. Each component was roughly the size of two mini fridges one atop the other. It weighted over 130 kg each. Add a "smart" crt terminal and a carr

There is definitely truth in this. I see lots of ads for senior full stack devs (and devops). Not so much for front end. I wonder why that is.

Depends where you are and what you're looking for I guess. Here in Poland the market for remote jobs is great. Of course a big factor is that on average I estimate the rates paid here are half of these in UK/US (comparing my own r

Very interesting, here is a good source that covers 2021 in Europe https://www.emcdda.europa.eu/publications/european-drug-repo... It seems the difference really is that huge. US 32.6 per 100k in EU it is 1.83 per 100k

I think there are many factors for this. I'm not sure which year you picked up for the 100k numer, but it sounds insane. Are you sure this is correct? In the entire EU (comparable population to US) there are approximately 6k overdose d

You would need drivers to cooperate. I believe it is hard finding truck drivers as is. Isn't that why its an industry where there is very high percentage of owner-operators? Imagine you now tell them they'll not even be doing the
