I can imagine you’d be embarrassed, I did stupid stuff too, but unless you’re running for Congress you should just say “I was a stupid teenager” and let it wash. Anyone fair minded will dismiss it.

This seems like something that could be confirmed by reverse engineering a printer’s firmware? Surely someone has done that?

I was also going to make a snarky comment about AI written blog posts but they are just so prevalent now it’s barely worth saying. I just have to suppress the irritation and parse out the information. And I’m guilty of doing AI documentatio

Is this issue specific to 122B or will it lurk in other 3.5 r 3.6 models? I run a 9B model locally so while this fix doesn't help me I'm wondering if it's general?

Same. Then I tried to read Brothers karamazov, “ooof”, it literally took 200 pages before I stopped hating the ‘pointless’ book with its plot that went nowhere. Then I got it. Only certain authors can do this I reckon, but how you’d get a d

I like their models, super cheap - I'm a Lite plan subscriber, and subjective performance seems to be same as lower Anthropic models, useful for lots of grunt work. The problem is that Ziphu really __really__ struggle with capacity - e
