Apple could start by stopping taking Europeans for fools and claiming that the DMA prevents them from publishing Apple Intelligence in Europe.
I’ve been an happy Apple exclusive customer since 2008. But if they play it that way I won’t follow. I give them one year to put their shit together. After that I’m done with the brand.
Long live Europe

Well it’s definitely true that you will have hard times getting true things from garbage. But funny enough, the model might hallucinate true things:)
You can train an LLM on the best possible set of data without a single false statement and it will still hallucinate. And there’s nothing to be done against that.
Without understanding of the context everything can be true or false.
“The acceleration due to gravity is equal to 9.81m/s2” True or False?
LLM basically works like this: given the previous words written and their order, the most probable next word of the sentence is this one.
Well, before SpaceX I looked at the space exploration program as a science enthusiast. The missions were rare but important for science. Then this dude came out of nowhere, saying he was about to save the Earth with electric cars and build a station on Mars. And for a moment it really worked. I genuinely thought he was a good billionaire. Then he completely loose his mind, start talking and acting like the worse moron of the universe, and I started studying his statements without the shiny distorting layer. He’s so full of shit it makes me sick. Most of the things he says is nonsense.
So I can’t tell why my brain works that way, but it does. Today I’m more exited by new ways to produce renewable energies on Earth than I am about rockets. That joy I felt for any SpaceX news slipped away.
My comment was just the realization of that. That was weird to be honest, but true.
A few years ago (already) I would have been sad and shocked. Now I don’t give a shit about SpaceTwitter. That douchebag managed to kill all the interest I had for space exploration, a topic I was passionate about for most of my life. He really is that kind of killjoy.
Well, I got a good news and a bad news.
The bad news is you won’t do shit with that my dear friend.
The good news is that you won’t need it because the duck is back.
Most of 7b-8b models run just fine in 4bits quant and won’t use more than 4 or 5 GB of VRAM.
The only important metric is the amount of VRAM as the model must be loaded in VRAM for fast inference.
You could use CPU and RAM but it is really painfully slow.
If you got an Apple Silicon Mac it could be even simpler.
That’s a nice hobby
I would suggest you to install a local instance of a LLM (mistral or llama3 for example) to widen your source of information. Go straight to Wikipedia instead of “googling” it if you don’t already.
Anyway, I didn’t know about kagi so I might take my own advice and give it a try.
This government is an absolute farce leading us straight to the victory of the far-right. Fuck them.
Nice read. Thanks OP!
IMHO people just won’t give a flying fuck about it. Most people won’t even be aware of it.
They’ll upgrade when they’ll buy a new PC, just as usual.
Our Very Stable 4D Chess TwitterBoy Genius has become so fantastically effective in killing his brands.
First Twitter.com, then TwitterCars and the TwitterTrucks.
Will he kill SpaceTwitter too?
And what about TwitterDigger? Is this still a thing?
But what exactly is this measuring?
Hard to tell honestly.
phpBB and Wordpress are websites engines. It doesn’t take into account the content of the websites they are serving, and more importantly the bloated advertising scripts that might be added to the sources.
Mastodon? What are we even talking about here? The content? The engine? Which instance?
So, while it’s true that some websites are bloated and some are not, OP’s post says absolutely nothing about it. Size means nothing when a single picture can easily outweigh a huge javascript file mining some bitcoins. For the same reasons, loading times mean nothing either.
Memory usage, FPS, Cumulative Layout Shift, First Input Delay, Largest Contentful Paint, any data gathered from the performance API. There are tons of efficient way to measure a website’s efficiency.
Finally, a website can fail to load for many reasons. First of which can be a 504 Bad Gateway Timeout, which is an event based on an arbitrary value on the server’s side.
I am interested in what tools are missing on Linux that exist on macOS?
macOS isn’t Unix and doesn’t contain Unix code
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Darwin_(operating_system)
“Darwin is mostly POSIX-compatible, but has never, by itself, been certified as compatible with any version of POSIX. Starting with Leopard, macOS has been certified as compatible with the Single UNIX Specification version 3”
macOS also can’t just run all Linux applications. That’s nonsense. It doesn’t use the Linux kernel or its APIs and ABIs.
There are tons of ways to run Linux software on macOS https://www.maketecheasier.com/ways-run-linux-software-mac/
Now, can I talk to someone who actually knows what he’s talking about?
I do ML stuff on my Mac that even the most expensive RTX 4090 could dream of being able to do, because of a buttload of shared memory
As a developer I’ve been missing most of my tools on Linux, and the OS is just catching up.
Friendly remember that macOS is a Unix system that can run any Linux software, meaning that anything done on Linux can be done on macOS.
Proton makes Linux a perfectly fine gaming platform, with sometimes even better performance on Proton than native Windows…
Anyway Windows sucks, that we can agree on
If you think right wing extremists can’t be into gay furry porn…
TBF This is how luxury car manufacturers sell their options. Always have been.
Space Karen sells his false self-driving option for €7500 as a software option.
Incoming M3 should be very interesting, especially on the GPU side with RT cores (a game changer for 3D compute)
But I’m not sure we’ll get to see them in that keynote. At least not the more powerful ones. Apple just introduced M2 Ultra 4 months ago, and M2 Pro/Max are less than a year old.
« Scary fast » is a bold affirmation, especially against some much more powerful RTX GPUs, and more powerful multi core CPUs.
I kind of expect to see an M2 Extreme and a dedicated Graphic card for the tower Mac Pro beside a new iMac.
I might totally be wrong so don’t put too much faith in my assumption though.
Anyway, exciting times!
This looks like a super annoying “feature” on Apple’s side. Did you try calling Apple directly? They are usually quite helpful, even if your AppleCare has expired. Besides I honestly think this is something they should be aware of.
Hope it helps. Have a nice day!
