It was a great comment, HN still offers nuggets now and then

“Will no-one rid me of this turbulent priest?”

I was also going to make a snarky comment about AI written blog posts but they are just so prevalent now it’s barely worth saying. I just have to suppress the irritation and parse …

He was the house curmudgeon - hilarious

Is this issue specific to 122B or will it lurk in other 3.5 r 3.6 models? I run a 9B model locally so while this fix doesn't help me I'm wondering if it's general?

As a bonus it will also repel horse flies. https://www.science.org/content/article/zebra-stripes-confus...

Indeed, a lot of HN readers don't realise their good luck in life. It takes a dose of poverty to bring perspective.

I was taught 20% of customers generate 80% of the work. It seemed borne out by experience and I mostly fucked them off, the surprise/outrage when I told them they weren’t a good fi…

Slightly tangential to the article, which seems interesting, but the main issue with IPFS was the horrendous performance of clients which I seem to recall related to having a refre…

You have a /horse/?! Well laadeedaa

I watch it and think of the “Are we the bad guys?” meme: lots of people advancing their careers in the Empire & shrugging at their own evil deeds mentally saying “ ok, but what can…

Not saying you are wrong about many US business owners but having travelled in China I can tell you that Chinese companies have no qualms about poisoning their neighbours for enhan…

“Nazis”: see Godwins law

In a previous life I've employed contractors and software engineers to run a criminal website. Motivations for my guys were that it was well paid work that was technically challeng…
