Ollama silently (!!!) drops messages if the context window is exceeded (instead of, you know, just erroring? who in the world made this decision).

The workaround until now was to (not use ollama or) make sure to only send a single message. But now they seem to silently truncate single messages as well, instead of erroring! (this explains the sibling comment where a user could not reproduce the results locally).

Use LM Studio, llama.cpp, openrouter or anything else, but stay away from ollama!

Let‘s hope that its nukes are a Potemkin affair as well.

I do not, and anyone else not trying to be contrarian and edgy on the back's of a humanitarian catastrophe does not either. Russia's goal was a blitzkrieg surprise win, measured in hours, taking over the capital and the government, before the West could even muster up sanctions. They have failed abysmally at that, and capturing a few towns in Eastern Ukraine (just a little bit more than they already had captured since 2014) is Putin's attempt to have something in his hands to present as a victory and hope not to get couped to death (a fate all warmongers rightfully deserve).

Russia most certainly isn't winning.

I would also assume that Whatsapp might change the servers used with updates of the app. How would Delta deal with that? Just wait for the complaints to come in?

And fyi, whatever arrangement of characters your reply to this statement will consist of, it will not change my stance, so do not bother.

Hilariously naive approach to government overreach.

I never understood this. Then why just not restore the entire server and let the „smaller subset“ of previously unaffected customers eat crap? The whole story would have been „sorry for some reason we had to reset to our backups from yesterday, newer data was lost“, and at the outage would be over in <6h.

Meaning that it sometimes makes sense to not have to start off at zero.

Also complaining about long contracts is like saying „I don't like this program because the source code is too long“. Depending on the program, this might be a little capricious.

Do you want lawyers to be „code golfing“?

I wonder if nerds like us could optimize the „bitrate“ of this.

There must be even better ways, if you consider the frequency of words, for example.

I wouldnt be surprised if one could reduce bits needed to express a sentence by 90%, if those numerologists that proved their worth with predicting Wordle solutions had a look at that.

And the reasoning is as follows:

The actually morally necessary step is to establish a no-fly zone above Ukraine, enforced by force with NATO fighter jets and anti-aircraft systems.

People (possibly rightfully) consider that this could lead to a WW3, possibly escalating into the usage of nuclear weapons.

So far so good.

So the bargain we do is basically "Ukraine, we would do everything for you, except for starting WW3, which you hopefully understand!".

Really? Everything? Then quit Russian gas cold turkey! No matter how bad it will be (possibly fairly bad, I admit), it will still be less than WW3, which we bargain is the only thing that we don't want, everything else we would do for Ukraine.

Can anybody put this into better words??
