I had never considered using lineageos and the like, but honestly the writing is on the wall. Google is going straight into a closed AI device.

I'm going to start donating to a few free android distros I guess, I'm probably going to be trying them sooner rather than later, and without AOSP support the dev burden is going to be much higher, and it probably means they'll end up diverging and incompatible at some point (not in both directions, lineage will probably always have to have Android app support)

So you want a non profit to pay taxes on money it seems they do not have access to and have never touched.

Great.

Teams that just work can't exist in stack ranked companies. You can't keep the team as a whole, you always have to cut someone.

Which means that everyone is playing the game to not be cut.

You are correct.

The weights are open and when prices settle down again will be runnable with less than 10k of hardware.

I can easily run it in a 8 bit quant with the 4 x 48GB Radeon Pro W7900 GPUs I snagged for 2k each before the memory squeeze.

A 158B parameter model, especially in an architecture as efficient as DS4 is not that hard to drive currently if you got in before the craze, and will be relatively easy to drive with future hardware generations.

In the china AI scene, there seem to be two separate types of companies.

Companies or labs like deepseek that produce less but larger and more innovative models, so seem to be more research oriented.

then there are companies like z.ai (GLM), Minimax, and Qwen which focus more on commercializing the AI and so produce far more versions, but with far less improvements between them (usually fine tunes)

Commercial providers like anthropic probably do the same thing, maybe even without labeling it like a different version if the model is similiar enough.

Nobody is serving models in BF16 precision, not even commercial providers. Especially with newer quant methods (like nv4)

The article states you can fit Q4 in 4 x 4090 and it works reasonably well.

I'd personally fo for deepseek V4 flash at Q8, hardware prices need to come down though. Once an NV4 version get released it'll be easier to run on commodity hardware.

I was on the same boat as you. I installed noctalia after having tried and not really getting a perfect arch / niri / waybar setup.

I think I'm completely done after like 6 hours which is insanely fast, and it really is everything I ever wanted. It is cohesive, easy to style, has good defaults, includes essential programs like polkit agent and notification daemon / osd, has a ton of plugins.

I should have tried it so much sooner.

There is some cross pollination. Women can play vs men, just usually don't. I'm fairly certain singles UTR is universal across players, it only distinguishes between doubles and singles UTR.

UTR can also include unranked games if one of the players submits a score and the other approves it.

The whole text feels like a conversation with an LLM. Even the title.

And the content feels fluffed up, the core idea is: "I'm furious that Bitwarden doubled the yearly price and did not disclose it properly". Which is valid, but does not require an extensive article, much less one written by an LLM.

As an aside, I found out from this post about the increase, and I don't mind the increase, especially after 10 years, but I really don't like the fact that it seems they actively hid it. But I also don't think it's aa big of a deal as OP is making it out to be.

It doesn't.In tennis a 14 UTR whatever wins against a 13 UTR whatever. UTR is your effectiveness rating against every other player. Same in chess with ELO.

The issue is woman would disappear from profesional sports. Sinners 16.27 rating means that he double bagels Sabalenkas 13.29 essentially 100% of the time. The 500th ATP player has a UTR of 13.81, half a point is quite a bit stronger, do he's still very much stronger than Sabalenka. You probably have to start looking well into the thousand somethings for something that is consisently beaten by her.

Only the top 200 players make money, the top 100 good money, and the top 50 ridiculous money.
