denali53··on A Visual Guide to LLM Quantization
Agree - great intro! Could someone with much more knowledge point more to BitNet and other 1-bit models... seems like developments here could lead to a step change in small/local models? What is the theoretical limit to the power of such models?
denali53··on Shunned in computer age, cursive makes a comeback in California
I've always found that note-taking by hand in school and university (implicitly through cursive, because I would find writing out in block letters way too tedious) - to really help recall and understanding, even if I was writing down what I hear by wrote. Have never had the same feeling typing out the same way into a laptop (which is what I now do at work) - that ends up more as a data-filing exercise.

This looks hella cool. Let me ask you - could you use this (or the sister project I see, Yurt) to upload a novel, or some large block of text and follow that around. Eg... take Moby Dick from gutenberg and follow each paragraph around?
