Off topic from the video AI thread, but to elaborate on your point: people believe what they want, based on what they have been primed to believe from mass media. This is mainly the normal TV and paper news, filtered through institutions li

What are people using to check token length of code bases? I'd like to point certain app folders to a local LLM, but no idea how that stuff is calculated? Seems like some strategic prompting (eg: this is a rails app, here is the folder

Nice find. My favourite was always "I shoulda turned left at Albuquerque". Good explanation from Quora[0]: The old Route 66 (often referred to as “The Mother Road”)—which opened in 1926 to drive from Chicago to Los Angeles—was th

Big kudos to the ollama team, echoing others: It just works. Fiddled with llama.cpp for ages trying to get it to run on my GPU, and ollama was setup and done in literally 3 minutes. The memory management of model loading and unloading is gr
