Simple and delicious.

At the end of the day there is no war but the class war…

Openrouter provides some limited free usage of popular LLMs with context sizes up to 175k etc. This is probably as good as you’ll get for completely free. The prices are usually pretty reasonable per million tokens as well if you don’t mind paying a bit. https://openrouter.ai/

Edit: looks like there’s a Gemini Pro free option with million plus token context size as well.

Not to mention battery life…

It’s new so reviews are just filtering out but it’s starting to look like SteamOS powered version of the Legion Go S (Z1 Extreme version) is a pretty great handheld that uses the latest AMD chipset with a sizable assist from Linux/proton efficiencies vs Windows to drive a 15-30% performance improvement which does make some more modern games more playable though it is significantly more expensive than the deck. I watched Retro Games Corps review of it yesterday. That said, if you’re okay waiting another couple years or so I bet there will be a Steam Deck 2 release but it seems like it mainly rests on AMD to deliver a significant (“generational”) leap with upcoming mobile APUs. Valve seems keen on not releasing a follow-up to the first deck until it is significantly better in every way and the chipsets available now just aren’t quite there yet it seems.

Interesting project. Is it actually possible to track workouts using your phone or smartwatch without needing proprietary third-party apps like Strava or Garmin Connect though?

Thanks! now I feel a bit lazy since there was a whole wiki article on their relations that I could have just looked up. Sorry it’s early in the morning here… appreciate it

Upvoted for the info about Greek support for Israel. I didn’t know that was a thing. Any other context for why that could be?

Oh no! I don’t have any frost on mine but I have several varieties of tomatoes and peppers that have been mostly uncovered for cool nights down to 40-42 F and have been worried about them a bit still.

Sure but that’s not as weird haha

I figured. Crazy the color though. Kinda cool. I will probably check the place out if I get a chance. I’m not too far away.

Interesting. What was the name of the shop? And what is activated charcoal coconut? I’m assuming it isn’t just charcoal since that would probably taste terrible haha

I think some of the responses here, while they may be well-intentioned, are a bit off base because they are confusing the word ‘normal’ (which is what you are asking) with ‘recommended’. Is it normal for someone in your position who has had a lot of time alone due to your health challenges to want more social outlets and someone to talk to? Absolutely. Is it normal to see a character in a work of art (a video game, movie, show etc.) and become attached to them in some degree? I would say yes. Most of us have done that at one point or another. Is it normal to want to be able to communicate with this person to help provide a social outlet and a listening ear for someone in your situation? Again, I’d say probably yeah. Now, is it recommended to have an ‘AI’ like this as your primary social outlet or to see them as a real human friend or even romantic partner? That is much more questionable. But, personally, with the context you provided and the challenging situation you have been in I think the tendency towards doing this is still quite normal and understandable. I think you should strive to validate your feelings of loneliness and the understandable desire to assuage those feelings with what you have available to you in a challenging and socially isolating environment while still understanding that an ‘AI’ like this should not ideally be your primary social outlet and to strive to find more ways in the future to connect with real people who care and are interested in you (and vice versa). It may not seem like it right now, but they are out there! I wish you peace and a speedy recovery!

That’s deregulation capitalism for ya.

Fixed it for you.

Looks like it now has Docling Content Extraction Support for RAG. Has anyone used Docling much?

Oh and I typically get 16-20 tok/s running a 32b model on Ollama using Open WebUI. Also I have experienced issues with 4-bit quantization for the K/V cache on some models myself so just FYI

It really depends on how you quantize the model and the K/V cache as well. This is a useful calculator. https://smcleod.net/vram-estimator/ I can comfortably fit most 32b models quantized to 4-bit (usually KVM or IQ4XS) on my 3090’s 24 GB of VRAM with a reasonable context size. If you’re going to be needing a much larger context window to input large documents etc then you’d need to go smaller with the model size (14b, 27b etc) or get a multi GPU set up or something with unified memory and a lot of ram (like the Mac Minis others are mentioning).

This would be a great potential improvement in UX for streaming sports feeds for sure - not having to navigate web pages and start / manage streams manually etc. Does anyone know if this is possible for sites serving these streams like FirstRowSports or StreamEast etc?

It would be more interesting to see this with a cost of living figure for each state as well.

Hopefully these improvements will become available to other Nvidia GPU architectures like Ada and Ampere in the future as well.
