This just reads way to creative. At least no spidey sense triggered for me.

Adafruit is mostly on the expensive side.

Production dosent have to be performance sensitive, so devex may still outcompete the performance differences in some scenarios.

Mine was testing out the copilot preview in the early days. Testing how well it knew semi obscure public codebases. Started filling out the first few lines and got the entire document word for word in tab complete.

That was the day I realised the plagiarism potential llms has.

Probably also part of the reason.

According to [1] the guidelines explicitly say to keep editorializing to a specified minimum, unless it is spam. Dont know it this title would allow editorialising

Main feature of urky seems to really be privacy. on my own searxNG i would be all the traffic. If I ho through urky hopefully I can hide with traffic from other users.

Writing your own operating system, applications and hardware :)

Or i guess running netbsd, freebsd reactos, redox, sculpt, gnu hurd, linux as alternatives.

Basically everything pine64 ships has a. We dumped all software development and support on the foss community. Problem. And the hardware isn't even that open. I do still like their non locked in approach though. And the pinephone is still one of few truly Linux phones.

The largest problem is available training data actually.

They have already done experiments with dittrent sub 10b models with both fine-tuning and fully from scratch. And last I check the fully from scratch captured the language in a better way.

So something like this[1] could be cool then. A actual thinkpad keyboard with touchpad, bluetooth, trackpoint and even a fingerprint reader.

I hate how USBC is actually electrically directional. And that some shitty devices sont fully implement things properly so it still is only one way to insert it, but both work physically.

Its llama 3.1 8b. So not a particular good model, mostly as a tech demo of the speed possible.

As much as I like graphene it is literary running on google hardware (atm) and uses asop. Even if it is a really good option is you want to run degoogled and secure android.

Last i tried it a couple years ago, it was basically impossible to install natively. (On basic intel haswell system)

They probably use it on all models. Fast is probably just a resource pool with less congestion and therefore faster throughput per user but less efficent.

You need the regular gemma model as well. You can think of this as a really small distillation of the original. Useless by its own because it often is wrong, but it is fifth more than not. And because verifying a transformer model can be done faster than running it. We can effectively speed up by using this draft model and only doing the compute where it was wrong.

This is a oversimplification, but tldr you need both yes.

Can we get this with more different colors.

Like forest green olive green. navy blue.

Also maybe the full color spectrum. And a select set of colors to pick from.
