reason for them not appearing is that xmpp is a largely relaxed platform, that is, all implementations are not equally strict. some may implement certain extensions, others may implement other. encryption (omemo) is a common one that most implement, but then client (the user apps like gajim) may or may not implement them correctly, or they may have a fallback (first communication between 2 clients maybe is not encrypted), and other different problems with encryption being flaky (firstly, it is not perfect forward secrecy, it is a bit prone to failure (messages unable to decrypt), etc.), hence it is not recommended much.

as someone who is doing some kind of science - titles are a lot more fancier and designd for absurdity. Often, the decision to perform something is a lot more logical than dciding random animals to test from. for example, some of the people from their group may already have been studying that specific frog line for some reason (maybe for it’s gut only), for example, they may have observed that these frogs live a long life or something, then they decided to find why is that, and may hav ecome to conclusion that it is this gut bacterium. or maybe they may hav eknown of this bacterium, and found out where they could source more of this.

but sometimes, it is totally random luck, lik you accidentally messed up experiement, and spilled some unrelated gut juice from a frog from a separate experiment, and it just so have happened to worked, so you now studied it closely.

I have absolutely no idea what may have happened in this one, and i am not a biologist, so do not know what is the usual way, but it is usually among these.

as a mod - that is too demeaning of others

as a general person - (agrees)

(having an internal conflict if i should upvote or not)

I am interested in it, because i have 3 package managers, arch, uv and cargo (binstall) so this covers me well hopefully.

i rarly use it, mostly to do sentiment/grammar analysis for some formal stuff/legalese. I kinda rarely use llms (1 or 2 times a month)(i just do not have a usecase). As for how good, tiny models are not good in general, but that is because they do not have enough knowledge to store info, so my use case often is purely language processing. though i have previously used it to do some work demo to generate structured data from unstructured data. basically if you provide info, they can perform well (so you can potentially build something to fetch web search results, feed into context, and use it(many such projects are available, basically something like perplexity but open)).

pretty much this. I use smolllm (a 3B param model, trained only on openly available datasets)

further clarification - ollama is a distribution of llama cpp (and it is a bit commercial in some sense). basically, in ye olde days of 2023-24 (decades in llm space as they say), llama cpp was a server/cli only thing. it would provide output in terminal (that is how i used to use it back then), or via a api (an openai compatible one, so if you used openai stuff before, you can easily swap over), and many people wanted a gui interface (a web based chat interface), so ollama back then was a wrapper around llama cpp (there were several others, but ollama was relatively main stream). then as time progressed ollama “allegedly enshittified”, while llama cpp kept getting features (a web ui, ability to swap models during run time(back then that required a separate llama-swap), etc. also llama cpp stack is a bit “lighter” (not really, they both are web tech, so as light as js can get), and first party(ish - the interface was done by community, but it is still the same git repo) so more and more local llama folk kept switching to llama cpp only setup (you could use llama cpp with ollama, but at that point, ollama was just a web ui, and not a great one, some people prefered comfyui, etc). some old timers (like me) never even tried ollama, as plain llama.cpp was sufficient for us.

as the above commenter said, you can do very fancy things with llama cpp (the best thing about llama cpp is that it works with both cpu and gpu - you can use both simulataneously, as opposed to vllm or transformers, where you almost always need gpu. this simultaneous thing is called offloading. where some of the layers are dumped in system meory as opposed to vram, hence the vram poor population used ram )(this also kinda led to ram inflation, but do not blame llama cpp for it, blame people), and you can do some of them on ollama (as ollama is wrapper around llama cpp), but that requires ollama folks to keep their fork up to date to parent, as well as expose the said features in ui.

try to use it with llama cpp if you folks are interested in runinng locall llms - https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/9181

the issue is closed, but that is not because it is solved, check it out, and find link to your relevant hardware (amd or intel or something else), and see if your particular piece is available. if so, you have hope.

in case it is not, try to find first party stuff (intel vino or intel one or amd rocm stack, and use that with transformers python or see if vllm has support).

also, try to check r/localllama on the forbidden website for your particular hardware - there is likely someone who has done something with it.

inline with above, there is singlefile extension, which just generates a single .html file with all images and scripts embeded. if on a chromium browser, you can directly save to .mhtml files which are similar.

I personally do cc0 (though i do not have much published). i can not really be bothered to do proper licensing, and my prefered license (wtfpl) is not considered good (by admins, because it has the f word , boo hoo).

it is a native app. https://github.com/sumatrapdfreader/sumatrapdf

It is the most performant pdf viewer on windows (that i know of). it uses libmupdf

you dont have to tell me you are a gal, i was there when you were born (sorry, but i remeber you posting, and edit was too fun for me to give up)(my edit: i realised if you transitioned, then i would not know so it is not bad to tell again i guess).

on a more serious note, take care of yor health, and for some time, try to relax and not puch much strain on your knee, and after a week or so, start with gentle exercises, and then try to reach full activity in a month or 2.

If you can not teach much during this time, I would suggest this is the time when you pick “teaching assistant”. more seriorsly, if you can, ask some of your students to pick a bit from where you left and ask them to help you in teaching. i do not know much about drumming, but my guess is that you need your feet for foot pedals, and also for jamming. and while jamming is not optional, it can wait for some time, and as for feet pedal (i presume it is used for the central middle large drum, and for side stuff(sorry, do not know what hey are called, make a clap like sound)), maybe ask one of your student to help with that if they can.

I know you are national level drummer, and you will figure something out, so please take care of your health.

(sorry, going meta, beta i am likely younger than you, and these posts feel a bit wierd, but i genuinely enjoy all the love here)

sorry, we try to not have the latter, but we can not fabricate the former

most flash storage is expected to be poered up once a month. unless you have a setup to reliably do that, then no.

I am in genuine heavy tears (the kind where you have huge beads just trickling and then just a continous stream). Both of joy and sorrow.

Takes a lot more than a dozen or so downvotes to discourage me

that is great. I do not know if you (or anyone else for that matter) may think this community or melly/piefed or fediverse in general is like this, and so wanted to say sorry (as a member/mod of this comm).

I do not even have a ad-blocker. I just have global js disabled and some css rules - goes a very long way and almost no website complaints, is lighter for my browser (though i also have /etc/hosts rule in case something passes by).

Sorry, i do not know why it got downvoted to oblivion (no pay wall should not be reason, if you know how to, you can easily bypass most paywalls(hint - js)). Sorry OP, hope you are not discouraged from this.

I am the person who violates most rules (the machine manual suggests we wait 1 min to increase 1 step, i guess the engineer included a safety factor of 2 so i can safely do 40sec on busy day(i have to do this a lot so 20 sec saving once is like 20 mins a hour), you need to wear proper ppe, but i am in hurry, and have to remove it before doing other work, might as well wear half of it, and insure i do not use other half(this one is not that bad cause i am not handling something toxic, it’s just that i may contaminate some stuff, and this thing does not really require full clean room treatment)

i did not expect that, that is like actually translucent. My guess is this is some textile engineering to hold air across surface to reduce skin friction, but i do not think that adding a base non transparent layer will hurt that much (probably just weight). thank you

honestly, i would have exppected all black to be better, since i theory it will reduce contrast and shadow lines, but yeah i guess outer curves would still be visible
