That would be eventually. Back then, Europe and Asia weren’t continents, they were names of undetermined regions that were north or east of them respectively.

I don’t know when or who decided “you know what? This whole region? It’s a continent, and let’s call it Europe” (maybe the Romans? Or even the Greeks?).

Iirc we have the ancient greeks to thank for the current distinction. They named Europe the region north of greece, and Asia the region east of Anatolia, and then eventually decided that their actual boundary should be the middle of the black sea

Being common or niche has nothing to do with the quality of the tool. In fact LLMs should be a niche tool, because there’s only a few use cases where they are genuinely useful.

Thus what I said before, the problem is the companies trying to shove it everywhere without thought or care.

On being accurate or expensive, it depends heavily on what model we’re talking about and what exactly you’re using it for.

Put a light model summarising your web search, yeah, it’s an accident waiting to happen. Put a coding model helping you out building a small function while you focus on the main algorithm, it will save you a lot of time.

Respectfully disagree. It’s because of the systematic insistence that we need to build data centers to support a demand that doesn’t exist.

Same thing would happen if corporations lost their minds over hammers and insisted we had to build hammer factories everywhere and sell hammers to stirr your coffee.

LLMs are a tool just like any other. There are tasks they can be useful, and others that they’re not.

The problem is that corporations and others are trying to force it down our throats in every single place as possible in their maddening quest to get a return in their investments.

Sigh… Fine unzips

Ahh thanks. But wouldn’t that make you a vegetarian?

(Not trying to be confrontational or disagreeing with your point, asking out of genuine curiosity)

It feels like there’s a whole debate about honey I’m unaware of, but isn’t the point of veganism avoiding anything made by animals? If yes, why is honey an exception?

certain Berserk scene comes to mind

Someone telling someone else to not ruin their fun because they didn’t like being reminded that the church is full of controversies with pedophiles was not on my bingo card for 2026

I do wonder why Cuba didn’t make greater efforts to turn to solar in years past. If they had, they could have avoided some, though probably not all, of this pain.

I imagine that it wasn’t about will but more about having a neighbor making life hard for them to trade for decades

Hi, lurker here. Anyone kind enough to give me some context? Who’s that guy? What happened?

That is a bit too much for your hardware, even the Q4_0. You needed a smaller version (26B likely would suit you better. It would be faster and is a MoE)

Creeps love an always-on camera that you can wear on your face so that it’s not obvious that you’re filming?

Who could’ve seen that coming

How much RAM do you have and which version of the model did you run?

Local LLMs can be just as fast as long your device clears the requirements. If you noticed a huge difference, there’s a really good chance that you tried to use a model that requires more RAM than you have

I don’t know who the guy is, what the context might be, and honestly, this is one of those few occurrences that I’m okay with that

If you have access to their git, watch out for the commit history. Check how much code each commit is introducing and/or editing and how fast they are, and how many times these big commits happen.

If you see a project with big commits in very short interval of times, it’s a sign that it was vibe coded

Never mind that in those examples that they gave, none of them were elected like Trump was:

• Hitler lost the election for president; but was later appointed as chancellor by the guy that won after political pressure;

• Mussolini was appointed by the king after threats of paramilitary force;

• Leopold II was a hereditary monarch

Sorry US bros. I like you and I love you depending on the days. But just like the French will never live down the white flag meme, you will never live down that you elected a pedophile fascist TWICE.
