Gemini eats glue. Claude and ChatGPT are a lot more coherent.

Kids these days won’t experience the dialup days…

dial-tone seven-digit number beeps ringing 20-30 seconds of dialup modem connecting noises

The moment you forgot the speakers were turned up from listening to The Offspring earlier

If anything, as long as local-run models get better, the power and potential for individuals to expand past their expertise grows. We’re in a transitionary period, where what helps the good also helps the bad, but what harms the bad also harms the good much more.

As a general rule of thumb, you need about 1 GB per 1B parameters, so you’re looking at about 405 GB for the full size of the model.

Quantization can compress it down to 1/2 or 1/4 that, but “makes it stupider” as a result.

I’ve noticed that performance starts slowing down when you get near full on these drives sometimes.

None of these drives are problem drives iirc… if anything, how full are the drives percentagewise?

Everywhere except in the USA’s Republican states. It’s an unforgiveable sin to be seen with a mask on there for stupid reasons.

I mean, maybe that computing performance would be useful in the future for things that aren’t just ai shovelware. As long as it progresses making this kind of calculating energy efficient, I don’t have a problem with it.

I would that too

Was reading about the latest malvertising exploit on bleepingcomputer when lo and behold, said malvertising ad hit and tried to take over my PC.

That was the last time I used the internet without an adblocker.

With the way Tesla is tanking, I’ll say

Energizer did make a phone with a 28Ah battery
