chat.qwenlm.ai has quickly risen to the preferred choice for all my LLM needs. As accurate as Deepseek v3, but without the server issues.

This makes it even better!

> Don't have to expose my home IP address and open a port for the world to start banging on

Is that really an issue if all you're exposing is the VPN port? Wireguard for instance has industrial-grade encryption. Even open port 51820 should be fine

Bit of a waste to host this locally and still need an openai api key. This would be great with Ollama

New comment by TheArcane in "Apple M4 benchmarks suggest it is the new single-core performance champ"

TheArcane — Fri, 10 May 2024 13:02:21 +0000

The best strategic decision Apple has made in the last 15 years is to vertically integrate and build their own processors.

M-series is so far ahead of the game than an air-cooled M4 has better single-core performance than the best desktop PC chip money can buy. Incredible.

How does someone not in the EU get this?

I wonder what Apple's line is to justify not making this open for everyone

companies with AI chatbots probably:

1. Replace customer service agents with shitty LLM

2. Distance yourself with shitty service by shitty LLM

3. Profit.

As someone who loves Multi-Account Containers, as long as this bug[1] isn't fixed, the address bar is severely handicapped for me
