While not exactly the hub style you mentioned, maybe this is as close to Jamming you can get.

Wow, didn't know about Spotify's basic-pitch or that any song to midi model existed. Gonna be a good time sink to play around with. The standalone mac app build was straightforward, thanks.

On-device video subtitles generation is exciting, should help with watching videos on mute. This seems like a low hanging fruit that should've already been grabbed by an app but I can't find any.

The blank page is what you'd get if you cleared your Watch History. I use this to watch a new-to-me topic/channel or just a video that I know I'd only watch once and don't want in my recommended history in Incognito mode(although you could just remove that video manually from history too).

This makes it easy to somewhat steer the algorithm, I just open and scrub through a few videos of the same "kind" that I'm interested in and this then makes the youtube homepage a bit wieldy. This still populates unrelated videos but at a lower rate.

I'll try to use that, but llama-server has mmap on by default and the model still takes up the size of the model in RAM, not sure what's going on.

Of course the swap is there for fallback but I hate using it lol as I don't want to degrade SSD longevity.

For the 9B model, I can use the full context with Q8_0 KV. This uses around ~16GB, while still leaving a comfortable headroom.

Output after I exit the llama-server command:

  llama_memory_breakdown_print: | memory breakdown [MiB]  | total    free     self   model   context   compute    unaccounted |
  llama_memory_breakdown_print: |   - MTL0 (Apple M3 Pro) | 28753 = 14607 + (14145 =  6262 +    4553 +    3329) +           0 |
  llama_memory_breakdown_print: |   - Host                |                   2779 =   666 +       0 +    2112                |

Mac has unified memory, so 36GB is 36GB for everything- gpu,cpu.

A usable quant, Q5_KM imo, takes up ~26GB[0], which leaves around ~6-7GB for context and running other programs which is not much.

I hope the other sizes are coming too(9B for me). Can't fit much context with this on a 36GB mac.

Have you ever tried going to the model registry and seeing that the model was recently updated? What updated? What changed? Should I re-download this 20GB file?

I guess if you're not frustrated with things like this then sure, no need to stop using it.

I thought github was being wonky but yeah, getting 401 Unauthorized error.

Edit: Can't view discussions as well.

When the app only shows posts that are more than 10 hours old even when sorting by "hot" and shoving down the algorithmic feed on the app's home page, how are people still using the app?

Lately I've only been visiting a few subs that I'm interested in and keeping them open in safari with ublock; it's been a far better experience. This has drastically cut my reddit time now and if I do want to mindlessly scroll, I just use redlib(hosted in docker or one of their public instances)[0]. It has the same "sort" that's used on the desktop site.
