It's a great service but honestly I think they just got lucky with how they named it. It's short, easy to pronounce and very memorable. Were it to be called anything else, I'm not …

Can someone provide a guide on how run LLaMA on a fairly average CPU/Nvidia GPU?

> You may like it, but it's not healthy in the long run. I disagree. Not all marathon runners are made equal. Talking about the long run means an extreme training routine that is c…

Just to give some context, I've been a marathon runner for 7 years. I have a PB of 3:24, and I'm training for a sub 3 hour marathon right now (logging around 70 - 120km per week). …

Yes, it was a typo. Thanks.

Although I'm a marathon runner, I've dabbled in speed cycling many times, and rode in a "pro" peloton (amateur pro) for a while. There are a couple of rules you end up learning. 1.…
