It was written with cutlass? No wonder Peter Kim found it valuable and worthwhile to de-obfuscate. Adopting a new programming language invented by OpenAI doesn't sound like a much better alternative. I'd be shocked if either of th

Look, there's a very simple way we can prove or disprove if ollama is doing something wrong. The MIT license (which llama.cpp uses) requires that their copyright notice accompany their source code. Here we can see that ollama is using

That's always happened with NVIDIA on Linux too, because Linux is an operating system that actually gives you the resources you ask for. Consider using a separate video card that's dedicated to your video needs. Otherwise you shou

If you're going to accuse me of rhetorical sleight of hand, you could start by at least spelling it correctly. This whole code stealing shtick is the kind of thing I'd expect from teenagers on 4chan not from someone who's bee

I've heard geohot is upset about that. I haven't tortured any of my AMD cards enough to run into that issue yet. Do you know how to make it happen?

What's not reliable about it? On Linux hipcc is about as easy to use as gcc. On Windows it's a little janky because hipcc is a perl script and there's no perl interpreter I'll admit. I'm otherwise happy with it thou

Well you would be one of the few hundred people on the planet doing that. With local LLMs we're just trying to create a way for everyone else to use AI that doesn't require sharing all their data with them. First thing everyone as

No idea. My best guess is their background is in graphics and games rather than machine learning. When CUDA is all you've ever known, you try just a little harder to find a way to keep using it elsewhere.

ollama has made a lot of nice contributions of their own. It's a good look to give a hat tip to the great work llama.cpp is also doing, but they're strictly speaking not required to do that in their advertising any more than llama

What is OpenCL? AMD GPUs support CUDA. It's called HIP. You just need a bunch of #define statements like this: #ifndef __HIP__ #include <cuda_fp16.h> #include <cuda_runtime.h> #else #include <hip&#x

With LLMs they start showing signs of brain damage once the errors get too high. In my experience it reduces their ability to reason, they stop counting correctly, and they start homogenizing categories, like calling a lemur a monkey. Compa

Fungi contain a large amount of nucleic acid (8–25%), most of which is ribonucleic acid (RNA). In order to reduce the damage on human health, fungal proteins must be processed in a certain way to reduce the content of RNA (to less than 2%),

You're not going to persuade me because you wrote this comment for you. It comes across to me as angry and religious. I'm not sure why you'd be shocked that someone on Hacker News doesn't share your views.

An even better question is how it overlaps with those other drugs. Does 75k fentanyl deaths mean we've seen 75k fewer heroin deaths because they all switched to the new drug? Or are these things layered.

It's better to think about something else that's boring which others won't care about, rather than focusing on hot button topics. Even if you want to touch the third rail, it's better to do it with jargon. For example, I
