Oh, you're intellectually dishonest and not worth engaging with. Thanks for letting me know.

Explain to me where in the Constitution it has a carve out for creating an incentive for a private company to gather and collate that data, and then using tax dollars to pay for it.

Uh, maybe it's legal for private citizens to do, but it very much is not constitutional for the government to be doing it.

Maybe I'm misreading their point...but I'd think that OP was being intellectually consistent and saying that the drug laws should be enforced as written for everyone, or repealed and replaced by more sane laws... because of you were to enforce them as written, you'd have 20-30% (wild ass guess) of the country serving prison time.

And then have to hose them off for an hour so they don't get heat exhaustion. I have a barn full of horses I grew up with in FL. You're misinformed.

Ollama is generally just not great software. Use something else and you likely won't have that issue.

As soon as you scale out to multiple machines, you're already thinking about non-uniform access. If you just push that down one layer further, I don't see all that much of a difference if you're already having to do the work in your software to deal with it.

If a lab doesn't know how to put a new output head on a transformer, they shouldn't be considered a lab.

Why would a Qwen 1.7b be too slow? You should get well under 200ms there.

What they should do, is inject a system prompt at that point telling the model to get out of there. It is the entire reason they train the different levels into the template.

Were they charged and convicted with a crime? Maybe they should have been...but we'll never know now.

The available API shapes have limited so much over the years. It's really hard to come up with a new one and have it used, so everyone just tries to fit their work into the existing APIs (chat/completions).

Good job to them for putting out something that does seem quite nice to use, and will likely get a bit of wider traction.
