FWIW, llama.cpp links to and fetches models from ollama ( https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/tools/run/... ). This issue seems to be the typical case of someone being bothered for

I blame this on the recent development of "open source as a marketing strategy". I'm getting tired of "open source" products that have restrictive licenses, or that are open source but lock features behind paywalls

Everyone talking about Kubernetes as if it was merely a "hyperscaler" and the biggest benefit of Kubernetes over a bunch of custom scripts is consistency and the ability to have everyone work on an industry standard, which makes i

To answer your question directly: yes, that's the point. You may have different clusters for different logical purposes but, yes: less clusters, more node groups is a better practice.

We moved entire infrastructure to AWS last year, to speed up/simplify/rethink it. We lasted 3 months on S3/CloudFront. We are still heavily invested in AWS, but moved our production storage/distribution to R2/Cloudf

VC funding is where cool products/ideas go to die... or sell off to be assimilated. I don't think VC funding exists if "premium support/enterprise consulting" is the monetization strategy. Either they see monetary v

Spot instances for dev environment???? "Your instance will be terminated in 1m" sounds like the new "Can't work; code is building"… haha

This kind of explains why Epic sold them. This still doesn't explain why Epic bought them…

Same thing with the argument "instead of spending $44B on a cesspool, that money could've ended world hunger". The reality of poverty, homelessness, hunger, etc, is so much more complex than how much money is put into solving

Can vouch for this. The Discord support, aside from specific account/platform problems, has been most helpful and super friendly, both community members and staff.

Our egress bill from Cloudfront last month, inc. the 1TB/per region free tier, was nearly $2,000. That's egress traffic ALONE (~20TB of it). Needlessly to say, we're wrapping up testing on migrating our production (public) bu

Same boat here. Care to share what switch you ended up landing on? I'm still searching… :'(

No need for tinfoil hats. This is a very basic networking consideration: peering. I've worked at ISPs and we would see traffic struggle through some of our contracted peers but not others all the time. It would take a while for all rou

FWIW, Textmate itself gets pretty frequent updates (latest one was on Feb 25th). It has also been open-sourced[1]. [1] https://github.com/textmate/textmate

To be clear, Unsplash never provided images: they created a website that accepted user submissions, that's it. All content in Unsplash is user generated. What bothers me about this sale is exactly this: Unsplash cashed in on their user

Blockchain is a useful tech. Crypto currencies are an interesting idea, but easily manipulated by launderers, i.e. the guys over at Wall Street. NFTs are basically a ponzi scheme: most of headlining ones are bought by artists themselves, or

From my personal experience, you have another month to wait… I waited 6 months for a withdrawal to be handled. To be fair, I withdrew to the wrong account number (to Simple, to the old account number with Bancorp), but the bank bounced the

I would've told you Coinbase until not long ago, but they seem to be going down the drain in terms of support (and I promise: you will at some point need it). It's been over a month for me to even get a single reply to a ticket wh

Oyster was interesting but not a really interesting option: while the app was gorgeous, it didn't allow you to import books. I'm sure most people would rather consolidate their ebook purchases, and Amazon or Apple are better optio

I've been trying to get friends and family to switch to Telegram from iMessage and WhatsApp. Their native apps are great platform, speed is awesome, and, above all, it's a platform-agnostic system. I highly recommend it.

So glad to see this on the front-page of HN! Arch is a great distro but, like Linux in general, is struggling for support and promotion. Now, I'm no believer in "Linux on the Desktop" any time soon (will it finally be 2015? :

FWIW, I haven't resorted to drugs simply because I've avoided drugs my entire life for anything psychosomatic. I guess one extreme is the whole "deal with it" approach (which is obviously insufficient) or the "there

This is totally me (without the Microsoft junk :P). Ouch… :( I've thought of drugs for helping me focus too because this lack of focus has grown into all sorts of areas of my life… :(
