Our third grader just started viola this school year and I was amazed at how cheap the rental was! I was expecting to get raked over the coals monthly, but it was just a little over $100 for the entire year. The chin rest was one thing we d

That absolutely works for me! I play multiple instruments and have found that the early morning is the best time mentally for me to devote uninterrupted time to practice and playing. I’m also fortunate enough to have a basement with another

The model displayed in the drop-down when you access the web library is the default that will be pulled. Compare the size and hash to the more detailed model listing below it and you will see what quantization you have. Example: the default

Wow, I completely forgot about Dale Brown! That was a very specific time in my life when I was into Tom Clancy due to my dad having all his books on a shelf and I had run out of Clancy novels to read.

I love that he actually posts % complete widgets at the top of his website showing how far along he is in the multiple books he authors at once. Closest thing to a Grafana dashboard for authors we’re going to get!

One of my most treasured possessions is a cloth Velcro patch display panel holding all my patches from various military deployments. The official unit patches are good and all, but nothing holds a candle to the creativity of military person

Yeah, I’m specifically responding to the parent’s comment about the 48GB tier. When you’re looking in that range, it’s usually because you want to pack in as much vram as possible into your rack space, so consumer level cards are off the ta

At the 48GB level, L40S are great cards and very cost effective. If you aren’t aiming for constant uptime on several >70B models at once, they’re for sure the way to go!

My kids are just getting into Minecraft on the switch and I am a bit confused by the options for hosting a server. I’d love to hop on and play with them on a self-hosted server, what’s the current best way to do that or is that level of cro

Definitely try it with Ollama, it is by far the simplest local LLM tool to get up and running with minimal fuss!

I would highly recommend Pianote if you’re looking for an online lessons resource. They have tons of YouTube videos you can check out to see if their style works for you, then you can subscribe to the actual site when you’re ready for a mor

Yes, Langchain has tooling specifically for connecting to Ollama that can be chained with other tooling in their library to pull in your documents, chunk them, and store them for RAG. See here for a good example notebook: https:/&#x2F

No, we don’t get funding through grants. Our work is either direct sponsored work or internal research funded through overhead. We aren’t a federally funded R&D center like Laurence Livermore or MIT Lincoln Labs, we are a university aff
