Strange as it might seem, I just wanted to download a spec, not be added to any database. regardless of their uses. Is that too much to ask ?

Any anyway, my biggest gripe was the phrasing, don't say it as if I have a choice.

Maybe, but I was using my gmail account anyway, so google already has that particular email info, but does that mean I'm obliged to share it with someone else ?

If there was a "No" response available, as the question suggests, it wouldn't be an issue. But it just annoyed me and felt like a dark practice.

> They are willing to accept all the conditions of your apps, including sending you personal data, registering an account, etc.

I've had this exact problem this morning, I wanted to download the ASD-STE100 https://www.asd-ste100.org/STE_downloads.html#article02-2l and they use a request form to get the download.

Unfortunately the last question:

> Do you consent to us collecting your data? This form has the only purpose of requesting a copy of ASD-STE100. Details are for record and statistical purposes only and will not be used or disclosed in any form to anyone. You can find out more about STEMG privacy policy here.

Only has a "Yes" option, and so I couldn't submit the form.

Great success.

It's more important to have ownership into them, they're turning into powerfull tools that we have already seen cut off in the private sector on a whim. Having our own that is comparable (this is a nice first step) is better than Alibaba for example just not releasing the rest.

As with all of the EU's dependancies on Tech with the US, the idea of "I don't care where my DNS servers are" is starting to be an oversight.

But thanks for your opinion.

My worry with this, like all Spotify clients really, is its dependance on Spotify's, quite litteraly, worst public facing API that is known to exist.

I have been using Spotatui and it's been fast enough, but it would be nice sometimes to have a better 'new music' search experience. I'll give this a try, but if Spotify are hell bent on destroying API users, I fear the project maintainers will have more work than it's worth.

If their economy meet the requirements, which I believe they do, then I would like to see it. They can have agreements made prior to their current fisheries that are clearly a huge part of their exports and gdp. They can also negotiate when/if to move to the Euro, or they could go another direction and retain their EEC agreements. Europe Union is not really an "All or nothing" as many seem to thing. It's more a regulatory decision, when countries already align, it's usually a few extra guarantees and trade. As an Irish I understand how different it can seem especially without the Schengen, with out issues in Norther Ireland, Brexit required a lot. But Europe was the only reason we were able to avoid complete poverty. As I see it, Iceland has a far better economy that would help us too. So I'm all for it.

But I wont be upset at them if they decided to keep the status quo with us!

This makes almost no sense, so you would return the whole laptop due to Windows being on the machine once before ?

> Windows is unseparatable from hardware after all...

What are you talking about ? The TPM ? Not windows', they enforce once being there for W11 but it's not some trojan M$ code ?

If you're upset that you wait then maybe something like McDonald's would be better for you. When you go out to eat, you're also going out to socialize and enjoy your time.

I have to ask, why are you tipping 10% before the service is extra good? I'm really against the idea that the company isn't responsible for paying their staff properly.

Setting a baseline of 10% just says to me that the restaurant owners can just pay their staff less. And if the server is having an off day or just didn't meet your particular standards then they're losing money.

I have a dumb question maybe, but aren’t the flock cameras private property of the company? So why would the government be bringing this case instead of a civil claim by flock?

> strongest evidence yet that local clean air zones could help reduce some of the harm caused by pollution during childhood.

It's incredible this is even in debate. It's one of those intuitive things well known since the reduction of coal burning and smog during the industrial revolution in London?

Mail self hosting is not an easy process to maintain.. If you do manage to get whitelisted you need to ensure you're on top of maintaining it, let alone some larger provider like Google just deciding they don't like you. I do empathise with wanting to self host, I just always found the cost of effort to do so really didn't offer enough benefits versus a good provider like proton for example. It sucks but maybe a fight that's too far gone to win.

Efficiency and lazyness are two very distinct things. As is quality and quantity.

> but even most economists misunderstand how the monetary system works.

It seems to be more of a subjective topic to me. Otherwise we would all have a perfect plan and never any monetary concerns. Highlighting weak links in the system is I believe a perfectly healthy thing to do. A sanity check would go a long way these days.

> The path I described is all within HuggingFace.

It's just not. Where do I see the model download ?

The fact we're here is a loss.

It's not intuitive. Deal with it, or fix it.

> I went to Huggingface, went to the Unsloth org, as they tend to be the best, went to the Model page, and went to the "Files and versions" tab.

"I went to youtube, gmail, ycombinator, deliveroo, then I went to another site I randomly chose, because they're the best, duh"

Okay.

> Unsloth AI is a very popular, highly reputable organization that takes upstream model files

And How am I supposed to know that arriving to huggingface as a new user? Enlighten me.

> Qwen also provides models in GGUF format on Huggingface

Cool.. Why don't they share em because I genuinely cant find em, I'm dumb.

> Your attitude and unwillingness to even try and learn on your own when people have tried helping have burned my good will

Well, I'm willing, but not from people who I might burn good will. Gracious. You do you.

Excuse me, but thats a direct link you've just sent. I asked where I can find the links. I like to believe in the source of truth.

They shared a lot of links, I'm struggling to find yours. Where did yours come from ?

Who is Unsloth AI? Have they modified the model ? Is this really the source of truth ?

Do you see how steep the barrier for entry is to do anything right ?

unslothai is not a name qwen has ever used. So you're sharing a link to a model that isn't from the owner, while saying it's the owner's. I'm not comfortable with that, and I want AI to be a better tool.

No, he did not. When it went wrong for v4 with the radio. I didn't see him take the blame.

this topic always goes into this level of ridiculousness. Your question can't even be answered. We should focus more on encouraging discussion, not asking unanswerable questions. It wont bring anything other than points of both sides with no objective correct answer.

Hmm I'm still struggling with the downloading of all the models I want to try locally, so I might be out of the loop, but all of this, including tuning (to your local HW), feels like it could be automated. I'm old though.

Plain question for you, where can I find the gguf model of this to direct download ?

But you're assuming I'm using the Olama studio. This model as far as I see doesn't have a gguf download.. Unless I'm missing something on the page.

If I want to download the model myself, it's not clear. I thought it was supposed to behave like a package manager. But even in nuGet I can download a zip of the package.

Promise I'm not being flippant or rude, but why not ask it to write something like a parameterized script to do the same thing for you ?

> It's becoming more rare, now.

I would love to see more data on that because I've seen it constantly. There is more isolation maybe where you can do whatever on 'open' network, but always some kind of proxy/vpn connection for hitting anything sensitive.

The operlap is there.. But I would be worried if it was just flat out taken away from secure managed connections just because of AI.. Again, would love to see the numbers of your assumptions.

I'll actually defend you on this one, but not only the command, that's more of a fine tuning option. On the hugging face link for example, there's no flat 'download' area. It's completely unintuitive for people to know how to use it. Reminds me of my first time trying to make sense of torrents when they first arrived.

There are some clients that will index the models and allow you to do that but I'm no expert, I've used OLama studio but it always seems to go weird for me.

Even this command above, it's not clear where op got the model from. So I'm with yah.

For example, op uses : Qwen3.8-27B-IQ4_NL.gguf.. But I cant see where to download it. It's not tagged on hugging face at least..

I've worked with a good few types of managers of the years, none would take ownership of my work. The end result? Sure, for shareholders/this managers that is fine.

But that's not the same as me being needed to be on a call with integration teams and having to run the call. It's just a layer of abstraction for management. I own the creation side of the product.

Who created it is still me.

I haven't tried this either but I'm guessing if you could pool the GPU memory over whatever the kids are using these days, I think it was SLI back in my day. The GPU memory should still be faster than the RAM?

You sound like your trying to reassure yourself of something.

I sure hope my boss doesn't think he built my work! He'd probably get fired pretty quickly during on call!

How will the poor analytics companies pay their poor salaries? And how will people be able to know to advertise to me about a pair of shorts I looked up last month??

I'm not from the U.S so I'll only say that the 1st amendment doesn't apply here, the government is not going to arrest people for sharing false information. The government has a responsibility to its citizens and so should act in the interests of their safety.

> Having the government lean on private platforms to pressure them into censorship, especially in a coordinated fashion, violates that right.

Even as a non US, this isn't true. A private company can decide to ban you for whatever reason they like. If they align with government health experts or not. It has nothing to do with your first amendment. It WOULD violate your rights if they arrested you for it.
