    I am not sure why you are downvoted. This is absolutely a MAJOR fucking problem in the US. I work with strong men and women that almost all have dental issues. We have "amazing" in…

    This is so easy to do because we are unable to contemplate every edge case at the time of inception right? At least that is what I am telling myself as I brick myself on a "manifes…

    My thinking is totally aligned with yours, perhaps its because I am trying to do a second act at almost 50 from blue-collar to white collar office work. I have no formal degree, bu…

    Not really an article, but yeah, I was hoping they went into the underlying mechanism a bit deeper. This paper could be confirmation of what localllamaians have been saying for mon…

    How do you sign up for the beta? I would even construct a landing platform in my backyard for them. I love this idea sooooo much!

    You mean svgwrite ( https://github.com/mozman/svgwrite ) which looks like it is no longer maintained? I know of svg.py ( https://github.com/orsinium-labs/svg.py ) and drawsvg ( htt…

    Why so political? I don't understand why so many people focus on Trump and Left and Right and all the theater of politics in general. Subtract the politics from TFA and it is reall…

    Does Apple have an explicit guarantee that apps can not scam or data siphon from an iPhone or iPad app?

    I hope you get traction with your letter, it is vitally important and one of the main reasons I stopped using Obsidian. I had maybe 10 plugins and they managed to step all over eac…

    Nailed it. To make matters worse, Ollama obfuscate the models so their users don't really know what they are running until they dig into the model file. Only then can they see that…

    I can not answer for GG, but the early days of llama.cpp were crazy and everything was so very hacky. Remember, Textgen-webui was 'the way' to run models at first because it suppor…

    How do you know you have the right application to open the file? I have tried at least a dozen apps to open *.stl files... some work, most don't. Some have features I need and don'…

    Do you use "files"? Its garbargio on steroids. You can't just open a file from the files app. Moving files around is cumbersome at best and downright infuriating most of the time. …

    My parents use their iPad(s) for 100% of their compute needs. At 70+ years old, they will tell you those needs are minimal. If you use one program at a time, do not need an actual …

    I have been programming as a hobby for almost 20 years. At least for me, there is huge value using LLM's for code. I don't need anyone else's permission, nor anyone else to partici…
