If you’re getting one for linux be warned that it’s not as straight forward as regular laptops due to the unlocking process, sometimes non-standard hardware and the unique keyboard layout. If you do anything where you make heavy use of f-keys or delete it’s not worth it.

Also never buy one new, schools dump them by the truckload so it’s easy to get solid hardware at much lower prices.

Chromebooks are designed around coercing the user into the google ecosystem. Everything google based is seamless while everything else is a second class citizen.

If everyone has access to the model it becomes much easier to find obfuscation methods and validate them. It becomes an uphill battle. It’s unfortunate but it’s an inherent limitation of most safeguards.

Of course it was political retribution and not the whole unregistered securities and gambling market thing.

She immigrated when she was 15, 30 years before she made the Queen of Canada claim. You can’t deport someone after 30 years of citizenship for mental illness.

What’s the deal with Alpine not using GNU? Is it a technical or ideological thing? Or is it another “because we can” type distro?

The model does have a lot of advantages over sdxl with the right prompting, but it seems to fall apart in prompts with more complex anatomy. Hopefully the community can fix it up once we have working trainers.

On Discord, the black hole for useful information.

I assumed this was always the case

Cohere’s command-r models are trained for exactly this type of task. The real struggle is finding a way to feed relevant sources into the model. There are plenty of projects that have attempted it but few can do more than pulling the first few search results.

I don’t think the term open-source can be applied to model weights. Even if you have the exact data, config, trainer and cluster it’s basically impossible to reproduce an exact model. Calling a model “open” sort of works but then there’s the distinction between open for research and open for commercial use. I think it’s kind of similar to the “free” software distinction. Maybe there’s some Latin word we could use.

I really like the simplicity and formatting of stock pacman. It’s not super colorful but it’s fast and gives you all of the info you need. yay (or paru if you’re a hipster) is the icing on top.

Don’t buy a Chromebook for linux. While driver support usually isn’t an issue, the alternative keyboard layout is terrible for most applications. To even get access to all of the normal keys that many applications expect you need to configure multi-key shortcuts which varies in complexity based on your DE. In most cases it will also void your warranty because of the custom firmware requirement.

There should be no difference because the video track hasn’t been touched. Some software will display the length of the longest track rather than the length of the main video track. It’s likely that the the audio track was originally longer than the video track and because of the offset it’s now shorter.

You can use tools like ffmpeg and mediainfo to count the actual frames in each to verify.

From my experience the model is pretty bad compared to both 7B llama2 and mistral. It’s also larger than both. It might be caused by bad instruction tuning, but overall my expectations are pretty low.

Koboldcpp should allow you to run much larger models with a little bit of ram offloading. There’s a fork that supports rocm for AMD cards: https://github.com/YellowRoseCx/koboldcpp-rocm

Make sure to use quantized models for the best performace, q4k_M being the standard.

Tun0 is the interface that most vpns are using so I assume proton is the same.

9/11 killed more in one day than mass shootings have in the last 20+ years. https://www.statista.com/statistics/811504/mass-shooting-victims-in-the-united-states-by-fatalities-and-injuries/

The drive is visible to the OS so if they have any kind of management software in place which looks for hardware changes it will be noticed.

Entire metro series for $10.

Almost everything has been done already. Most new app ideas are just gimmicks thrown onto existing concepts.
