@simon I saw 19GiB RAM usage with the 31B model (laptop only has 24 so I didn't try 65B). pretty impressive!

@simon going to be interesting applying the model to big boring tasks like spotting anomalies in log files. I wonder if it will ever support a "colour commentator" style streaming input mode?

@simon let me know when you do, debugging other people's problems by reading tea leaves is a big part of my job and I'd love to automate it away and spend the recovered time on my own problems.

@simon Yeah it's really good at tip of the tongue problems! Sure data compression always results in artifacts (hallucinations, in the case of LLMs) but the interconnectedness of that data is pretty handy.

@simon If we're honest, a lot of the reactions are pretty familiar to students of history https://mastodon.cloud/@loren/110081850840000086

@ian @simon it was probably a web app that made the DND-ignorant noise 😕

@ian @simon more seriously, is there even a web API for differentiating notification sounds that should be silenced by DND vs, say, audio tracks from videos that you want to hear regardless?

@ian @simon I feel like that behaviour would violate least surprise for web-hosted video/music/podcasts

@simon It would be funny if the Internet Archive offered a blog hosting service—bit-rotted personal sites are most of what I use the Wayback Machine for already 😅

@futurebird Huh! Always interesting when evolutionary pressure results in behaviour that may benefit the individual (behavioural fever) while increasing risk to other individuals (spores spread better from altitude).

@steve @futurebird @CowboyWho I've found it's way easier politically to get rid of giant elevated freeways by simply living in a seismically active zone.
