    Trusting snake oil is a wild choice.

    Neat! But, what do you do with a 0.5tk/s LLM? Have you tried running it via llamacpp or other software that supports naive SSD offloading to compare speeds?

    The problem is the 'options to be intentionally non-destructive' come with legal liabilities that don't exist if they destroy the original copy.

    The scanning process they use is _intentionally_ destructive, not accidentally destructive. It's not because they hate books or something. It's literally to stay in the law due to …

    If you bothered to read the article, you'd understand why this is, in fact, a problem.

    Weird that you comment on rage bait and end your comment with the idea that this group of people are all a bunch of worthless drug users.

    That's LOC in a single file, that's a bit different from total LOC as a metric. Total LOC is a garbage metric. Things like reducing line count in specific files or components is a …

    There quite literally are internals that are called attention heads in modern LLMs. Saying 'there are no attention heads' is objectively false, which definition you follow is irrel…

    Ya I'd be interested to see a comparison of using llamacpp with ssd offloading to compare real speeds.

    Reassuring to see this backed by major players. This is the correct stance, hopefully this is the stance that prevails.
