How long was it trained for? How many tokens?

Do the two cards "share" their memory pool? Can work still be split across it? I'm wondering how it would do with something like fine tuning? Do you get the speed of the 5080 with the memory of the 3090?

This is pretty cool! I would love to see an even larger models shrunk down. If you got that into a couple gigs--what could you stuff into 20 gigs?

I'm not either. If this was GPT-voice, I'd be happy. It's concise, technical, with good emphasis but no drama or AI tropes.

A prompt injection solution that seems to benchmark better than any other approach out there, while not using hard-coded filters or a lightweight LLM which adds latency.

I mean, sure, but all those things I named don't seem to be scale induced? They seem to all stem from clueless regulation, which is as simple as not not signing silly laws? I'm missing where scale plays into the items I mentioned.

I see Massachusetts as sort of the non-insane liberal counterpoint to California. Things work here and nobody seems to be passing the "oops my unintended side effects and clueless regulations messed things up horribly." Or, if the

What did you use to record the video on the home page, if you don't mind me asking? I need to do something similar. One tip I've seen is to record at a higher resolution than you need, then scale down. The demo is good, but look

I'm not the OP. Not everyone is paying for LLMs, even now. So I think it is perfectly reasonable to assume good intentions, here. Someone spent their own tokens to ponder your code and thought they'd share the result. For anyone e

I took a look--it seems like you can pass a path on the command-line to open to. Can you pass a line number, also?

Some people treat politics like a tribal sport where "morally OK" is determined solely by which team did it. Their mental model of the "other side" is someone who is similarly team-driven. These folks get really confu

Not the op, but I think about that. Here's what I came to, for the moment: * LLM's are lousy at bugs * Apps are a bit like making a baby. Fun in the moment, but a lifetime support commitment * Supporting software isn't fun, e

Sounds good on paper, but it has a game theory problem. If your efforts can always be out-raced by someone using AI to do autonomous work, don't you end up having to use it that way just to keep up?

I re-compress my thoughts during editing. That's how I write normally. First, a long draft, then a short one. Saving writing time on the long draft is helpful. Slop is slop, whether a human or AI wrote it--I don't want to read it.

Is the percentage meaningful, though? If an LLM produces the most interesting, insightful, thought-provoking content of the day, isn't that what the best version of HN would be reading and commenting on? If I invent the wheel, and have

runsc / gVisor is interesting also as the runsc engine can be run from within Docker/Docker Desktop. gVisor has performance problems, though. Their data shows 1/3rd the throughput vs. docker runtime for concurrent network cal

In ollama, how do you set up the larger context, and figure out what settings to use? I've yet to find a good guide. I'm also not quite sure how I should figure out what those settings should be for each model. There's contex
