Thanks! I'll have to try the 3bit to see if that helps

The model I have is q4_0 I think that's 4 bit quantized

I'm running in Windows using koboldcpp, maybe it's faster in Linux?

>> run LLaMA 30B at almost 3 tokens/s

Please tell me your config! I have an i9-10900 with 32GB of ram that only gets .7 tokens/s on a 30B model

Remember too that WFH opens one to increased competition from others who could do one's job who live in a much lower COL area

Is that a bug or a feature?

Parable of the Pots - Quantity leads to quality

https://austinkleon.com/2020/12/10/quantity-leads-to-quality...

[A] ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the “quantity” group: fifty pound of pots rated an “A”, forty pounds a “B”, and so on. Those being graded on “quality”, however, needed to produce only one pot — albeit a perfect one — to get an “A”. Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the “quantity” group was busily churning out piles of work – and learning from their mistakes — the “quality” group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.

Thanks for capturing a point that I couldn't quite articulate myself as to why ChatGPT feels different - the ease of use.

Literally a year ago I was planning to take a python programming course for ML, thinking that a deep understanding of code would be needed to make things work well.

With GPT it's like...I just ask it things in English and it'll do it?

The ease of access to LMMs is groundbreaking the way the simplicity of IOS launched the modern smartphone era. Even babies could use an Iphone.

And now any child old enough to type sentences can use ChatGPT.

it's better, but still abrades

More importantly, the lesson I learned was to get a soldering system\station where you can get replacement tips easily\cheaply

Learning on lead-free nearly turned me off of soldering until a buddy gave some Kester eutectic, that is a freaking joy compared to lead-free

Pace's videos on youtube are old timey but charming and useful for basic soldering

I wonder how high the correlation is between being on the autism spectrum and being super-reasonable (as defined by the article's author)

Here's an example of what you might see on lesswrong.com:

The issue is when the lender is too big to fail and get bailed out at the taxpayer's expense

Nothing quite as sad as perfect, mint-condition camera lenses that never left the box to take any pictures.

“A ship in harbour is safe, but that is not what ships are built for.”

My concern would be email deliverability for less popular TLDs, although I imagine it's not an issue for the more popular alternatives like .io and .ai

Another anecdote, my partner and I also have 2 each and we've never, not once, had that experience either in the nearly two years we've had them.

Which seems weird because you'd think it would definitely trigger the stalker warning.

FWIW older gas water heaters that use a standing pilot flame and piezoelectric ignition can run without electricity. Combustion products are vented passively by convection. With this type, as long as you've got gas, you can have hot water. Maybe huddle by the hot water tank?

For the sake of efficiency, most newer gas water heaters need electricity for ignition as well as to power the fan that exhaust gases.

All gas furnaces will need electricity to run the fans.

'keying the mic' is turning on the microphone

It's very likely they said some less polite words like 'WTF ARE THEY DOING' before turning on the mic and acting all professional

It would require an extraordinary number

Didn't know such a thing existed, thank you!

I've been trying to find a decent endurance NVME in the m.2 form factor for write-heavy applications and it appears that true 2-bit MLC has all but disappeared, replaced by 3-bit TLC and higher (with commensurate loss of endurance)

The high endurance SSDs appear to be only available in u.2\u.3\hhhl and god-help-me EDSFF form factors

Any suggestions? Micron's 7450 isn't readily available

Holy crap thank you!

I have to log into multiple Microsoft365 tenants and it drove me crazy with the amount of signing OUT I needed to do when switching accounts, to the point where my crappy workaround was to use different browsers for each account (Chrome, Firefox, Edge, Opera, Brave, etc) but I started to run out of different browsers.

This multi-account container extension is a godsend

It's not necessarily how remarkable it is, it's more about not exporting your absolute most advanced technologies because it's more likely for a future adversary to gain access to it, and thus learn how copy it or defeat it.

Most nations want to hang onto that technological edge as long as feasible.

Maybe I'm naive but shouldn't there have been an associated budgeted line item for this compliance requirement? Might have made things go smoother

That's a pronoun I haven't seen yet
