Yeah that's one of the best things about them for me. And then I go to the website and often it's some janky UI with content buried super deep. Or it's like Reddit and I immediately get slammed with login walls and a million

If I want to be at top performance - none. If I want to relax a bit, no more than 5mg of an edible. I've taken way more at various bits in life, letting it become waaay too much of a habit, and I think it causes little but trouble. It

But you can leave easily. and in 2024 I think people should insist on getting a decent salary (FAANG is impossible, but for most of the country, “even just” $170K is eye watering), and work life balance (sure, you will have to put in extra

It’s literally the opposite to what you suggest. Someone who hasn’t eaten for days isn’t thinking about eating healthy when they walk by a McDonalds.

Compensation wise, that’s a great startup job, especially with such an insanely generous exercise window. Where I think you maybe went wrong is, if you are building everything, it’s not a collaboration with the founders, which is half of th

The ideal reason to be engineer number one tbh is if you want a playground (for lack of a better way of putting it) to build the system out the way you want. That will be of high value to specific people (Architects, not the LinkedIn kind)

Getting to leave is so underrated. Nothing keeps your head above the doom and gloom like knowing you aren’t shackled to the thing, and the world’s your oyster if you need to move on. We live in a weird world if people don’t think a gig with

Even if you don’t see the cap table, any company you talk to should be clear and consistent in disclosure of facts like number of shares outstanding, including viewing it in tools like Carta. You are basically describing the abusive version

people already do a variant of “earlier gets more, later gets less” that’s a lot smoother/linear than your scheme and can be customized and adjusted to roles (engineers get more than salespeople as an example). With what you describe,

You also get the synchronicity / four minute mile effect egging on other people to excel with specialized models, like Falcon or Qwen did in the wake of the original ChatGPT/Llama excitement.

Unless you live in a place where power is dirt cheap, you need to try harder with your own brain.

It's not language, it's experience, network, and having a differentiator that makes potential employers say, "Wow, we need to hire brutus1213 for our team because they have a really unique skill at <X>!" (X could b

I’m practicality shaking my head in disbelief at all the red flags this guy has and people are still defending him. Stability and its work are great. We should support an open community and ethos. And Emad can still be a shady narcissist co

I mean, you get a nose for people like that after a while. They all have common characteristics like self aggrandizement, making bold claims and then changing tune when caught, a history of burnt out and salty ex co workers. It’s not that h

That's the game though. Unfortunately, there's no room for subtlety once you get to a certain audience size, and you need to make as much noise and project as much confidence as possible to stand out. While us HNers might apprecia

The swarm of negative comments here is both disheartening and unwarranted. How many of you are building ad networks or chat-with-PDF while these folks are working on truly difficult problems? Flying supersonic is awesome, actually . Count

That gets into process management which can get dicey, but I agree, a "daemonless" mode could be really interesting

Always replied in Portuguese for me if requested, with a weird English accent to be fair. It seems whisper will transcribe everything you say (translated if needed) into just one language, usually English, if you mix them. This is with GPT4

So far for me it's been nice not having to spend one second mucking with Python (which is slow, and can be complex managing venvs etc), but the Modelfile is what's started to pique my interest. Bundling up metadata about prompts,

One Q for the maintainers, in https://github.com/jmorganca/ollama/blob/main/library/modelf... does that imply you can override TEMPLATE directly? I am experimenting with adding some dynamic context

Not "any" yet per se, but the groundwork is there. It helped me try out the GGML stuff after failing to get it online previously.

I've been playing with this lately and it's been loads of fun (on OSX in particular, on Windows/WSL I don't think it's rigged up with GPTQ yet). Of note is the experimental "Modelfile" that allows you to s
