Ah I see interesting, I'll have to play around with this more. I switched from Nvidia to AMD and have found AMD support to still be rolling out for these new cards. I could only get LM studio working so far but I'd like to try out more front ends.

Not a major setback because for long context I'd just use GPT or claude, but it would be cool to have 128k context locally on my machine. When I get a new CPU I'll upgrade RAM to 64, my GPU is more than capable of what I need for a while and a 5090 or 4090 is the next step up in VRAM but I don't want to shell out 2k for a card.

I'm a little confused how these models run/fit onto VRAM. I have 32gb system RAM and 16gb VRAM. I can fit the 20b model all within vram, but then I can't increase the context window size past 8k tokens or so. Trying to max the context size leads to running out of VRAM. Can't it use my system ram as backup though?

Yet I see other people with less resources like 10GB of vram and 32gb system ram fitting the 120b model onto their hardware.

Perhaps its because ROCm isn't really supported by ollama for RDN4 architecture yet? I believe I'm using vulkan to currently run and it seems to use my CPU more than my GPU at the moment. Maybe I should just ask it all this.

I'm not complaining too much because it's still amazing I can run these models. I just like pushing the hardware to its limit.

Basically this, the bookstore was a stand in for any type of place that you may frequent and see others frequent.

People react differently to being approached, just like anyone would. If they are just into you it works. If not some are polite and see it as a compliment and just say no. Others will be offended and scoff. Either way no one gets hurt and you just move on.

Eventually you just get lucky with someone who is interested in you back. This is kinda how it was for most of history, so I find it odd people are so against it now. We are social creatures! go out and meet people, if they happen to be mean oh well, that reflects entirely on them.

If you don't date at work you still make friends at work and grow your social circle. Leverage that to meet new people through work people.

It can be risky dating at work but some find the trade off worth it. I suppose it depends on how comfortable you are at your job too. I've definitely seen relationships blossom in my workplace more than once. When you spend so much time with people it's only natural.

This is very true, I've never used a dating app as the opposite sex so I'm not sure what their experience is like. This definitely sounds about right though.

Makes sense that attention is what they want from you, and how the experience compares to that of an average dude on it.

I suppose I'm forgetting other experiences too, I guess I follow the two "rules" of dating apps because as a dude I get a decent amount of matches. Still I don't like the dating apps, maybe I just yearn for something more real I'm not sure.

Dating apps by and far are quite useless. If you ever want to know how insidious they are, just download one, finish your profile, and swipe for 10 minutes a week.

Since you are not an "active user" they will give you the most attractive people to swipe on. Every couple of days they will give you a "limited time" discount on gold or platinum or whatever. The push notifications are my favorite part, "you could be missing out on the love of your life!!!".

Not to mention the interactions with the UI are littered with casino like visuals. The whole purpose of the app is to get you addicted and spending time and money on it.

It's much easier to naturally meet people in real life through work/school. If you can't there, go hang out at coffee shops or bookstores or something and just hang. Strike up conversation with people, just live. You'll get rejected and some people will be rude but it's all real. You could also always pick up hobbies and meet people there. Just be social, don't spend time and money on these machines of misery.

This looks very interesting

I agree, people get angry at something for a day and then the timeline tells them to be angry at the next thing.

Always feel bad for people who cave to the mob, usually if the mob is yelling at you you’re on the right track

These people would rather stunt humanities growth than come up with alternative energy solutions.

Notice how they always complain but never actually suggest solutions, like setting up more modern nuclear power plants or funding fusion R&D.

No, they are just looking to sell doom and clicks so to them solving the problem would actually put them out of work.

I’d love to use open source solutions but my friends would never switch over to that because they are lazy and don’t care.

I assume there are many such cases

Isn’t nuclear more stable and efficient than solar?

Why is it not regarded as a solution

I’m curious about the response times though, i imagine they will be quite slow on an intel Mac

How does this run on an Intel Mac? I have a 6 core i9. Haven't been able to get an M series yet so Im wondering if it would be more worth it to run it in a cloud computing environment with a GPU.

Bluesky is currently better than threads, technically.

The content on Bluesky is lacking, i know it’s because of the invite only system, and that has its advantages and disadvantages but Bluesky is going to run into a problem soon.

They obviously need content and users to stay alive, and the content is lacking. Currently it’s a very niche group of users who have a very distinct culture. They don’t leave much room for differing ideas.

It will be interesting watching this play out. They are positioned in a way that can beat threads, but they need to drop the invite ASAP and manage their onboarding of new users.

That means the culture will inevitably change, I’m not sure I see a way of it staying the same as normal people and more fringe people sign up.

IMO they should prioritize content creators. Engaging content on the platform that’s rich will be a huge leg up when they open up.

Helps too that currently i can’t even post a picture on threads without it crashing. Blue sky is definitely the more delightful sop to use.

I feel like shadow always had way more latency, and paper space was much more consistent
