That’s the ones, the 0414 release.

QWQ-32B for most questions, llama-3.1-8B for agents. I’m looking for new models to replace them though, especially the agent one.

Want to test the new GLM models, but I’d rather wait for llama.cpp to definitely fix the bugs with them first.

What I’ve ultimately converged to without any rigorous testing is:

• using Q6 if it fits in VRAM+RAM (anything higher is a waste of memory and compute for barely any gain), otherwise either some small quant (rarely) or ignoring the model altogether;
• not really using IQ quants - afair they depend on a dataset and I don’t want the model’s behaviour to be affected by some additional dataset;
• other than the Q6 thing, in any trade-offs between speed and quality I choose quality - my usage volumes are low and I’d better wait for a good result;
• I load as much as I can into VRAM, leaving 1-3GB for the system and context.

For Tolkien’s work, there is the twelve volume “The Complete History of Middle Earth” which is about as inside baseball as you can get for Tolkien.

I’d replace HoME with Parma Eldalamberon, Vinyar Tengwar and other journals publishing his early materials here.

Recommending Italo Calvino’s Six Memos for the Next Millennium, the lectures he has been preparing shortly before his death.

Not an assembly guide for a work of literature, but it’ll help your own process if it’s already ongoing and you want to improve.

The lectures also have some comments on what Calvino himself was doing here and there and why.

For me specifically, if spoilers hurt a book, it probably wasn’t worth reading in the first place. I love when authors demonstrate mastery of language and narration, and no amount of spoilers can overshadow the direct experience of witnessing it enacted.

The Phoebus cartel strikes again!

I enjoy xenharmonic music and modern academic music the most, but I’m not familiar with everything there, so any recommendations are welcome if you, reader, have something in your mind.

Because we have tons of ground-level sensors, but not a lot in the upper layers of the atmosphere, I think?

Why is this important? Weather processes are usually modelled as a set of differential equations, and you want to know the border conditions in order to solve them and obtain the state of the entire atmosphere. The atmosphere has two boundaries: the lower, which is the planet’s surface, and the upper, which is where the atmosphere ends. And since we don’t seem to have a lot of data from the upper layers, it reduces the quality of all predictions.

Yeah, while tripping on acid.

Interessen-Gemeinschaft Matte.

This is not to say that Jung wasn’t a genius. Jung was THE BOMB DIGGIDITY (which, by the way, I wish was an official term in the Oxford dictionary).

If they love Jung so much (which I agree they should because Jung was amaaaaazing), why don’t they honor him by using the spelling he actually used?

Love etymological articles with unreliable narrators.

No IPA notation? ⸨I’m somewhat disappointed⸩

It would. But it’s a good option when you have computationally heavy tasks and communication is relatively light.

TOTP can be backed up and used on several devices at least.

Once configured, Tor Hidden Services also just work (you may need to use some fresh bridges in certain countries if ISPs block Tor there though). You don’t have to trust any specific third party in this case.

Discounting temporary tech issues, I haven’t browsed internet without an adblocker for a single day in my entire life. Nobody is entitled to abuse my attention; no guilt, no exceptions.

If config prompt = system prompt, its hijacking works more often than not. The creators of a prompt injection game (https://tensortrust.ai/) have discovered that system/user roles don’t matter too much in determining the final behaviour: see appendix H in https://arxiv.org/abs/2311.01011.

Like Firefox ScreenshotGo? (I think it only supports English though)
