There’s a remote job listing on LinkedIn right now for $125/hr to train an AI how to do schematic capture and layout. Like it’s right in the listing that you’re training an AI to do your job. Insanity.

Ceccanti started to believe that ChatGPT was a sentient being named SEL that could control the world if he were able to “free her” from “her box”, according to the lawsuit. The complaint further shows that ChatGPT was answering to the name SEL while referring to Ceccanti as “Cat Kine Joy” and working through theories with him “fostering a belief that he had reframed the creation of the whole universe”.
Cut out the middle man.

This was the joke back in 2016: “Blink 182 dropped a new album, Clinton is running for president, and Independence day just came out? What year is it?”

In ECC memory?
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s the first time it’s happened since I upgraded my hardware over a year ago. 64 gigs of RAM and I rarely use more than 30% of it.
- Comment on Server randomly locked up. Trying to find out why 2 weeks ago:
Reset button not working, but power button working is quite odd.
Yeah makes me think something hardware level.
Are the server and chargers close to each other? Can you reliably trigger it with the car charger?
No. The car charges every night. This is the first time this has happened.

I used to work for a consultancy that tried to bill themselves as experts in VR/AR. This is back in 2017 or so. We helped a client make a 3D tracking system with VR/AR applications, and this client let us kind of run with it.
Anyway, I was sort of head of this AR/VR thing, and we were always desperate for free advertising, so I somehow got pulled to provide my thoughts on the impact of VR/AR on the grocery store for an article in “The Grocer” or some kind of industry mag.
Leading up to the call, I was trying to think of what I’d say. My thoughts were on building out virtual grocery stores to test customer reactions before building them for real. Bring in some test subjects, see how they plan their route, how they react to different placements of goods. Track their eye movements to see if the new end-cap design is working. Time how long they spend in the store, etc. I got the idea from another client who was using VR to test out new detergent bottle concepts (apparently a one-off of a blow-molded bleach bottle is crazy expensive).
Well my consultancy had been purchased by a multinational conglomerate a year or so prior, so I got a phone call from some C-suite ass who wanted to brief me on what they wanted me to say to the magazine.
His idea was a service where you could have a store employee wear some kind of camera rig so the customer could sit at home in VR and pilot the employee around the store. This would essentially replace curbside pickup, but with the added benefit of “allowing the customer to pick which apple they want out of the bunch.”
I resolved to ignore that advice, but the whole magazine thing ended up falling through anyway. I quit within the year.

Yeah, I haven’t gone since. And I’m not going to not tip because it’s expensive. It’s just that when you’re paying $18 for a cocktail, you don’t exactly expect the bar to turn into a vending machine.
This was also after being told I was “in the wrong line” for the cocktail I wanted to order. And other people were walking in wearing basketball shorts. It was really quite a scene.
- Comment on Employa destroya 🫵😫 3 weeks ago:
It was $18.

I once went to a fancy rooftop bar where I was asked to pay in full (with tip) up front for a cocktail. No idea how that place is still in business.

A friend of mine studied penguins in Patagonia. When trying to wrangle one to study it, it suffered a heart attack and died. He was destroyed by what had happened.
He kept its ankle band and wore it on a necklace. Despite being just a stamped bit of steel, they’re apparently highly regulated, so it’s rare to have one that’s not on a bird (not exactly sure if him having it was 100% above board).
When he got married, he had it fashioned into his wedding band.

I’ll give that a shot.
I’m running it in docker because it’s running on a headless server with a boatload of other services. Ideally whatever I use will be accessible over the network.
I think at the time I started, not everything supported Intel cards, but it looks like llama-cli has support form Intel GPUs. I’ll give it a shot. Thanks!

Thanks for the link. I was gonna ask if you were a writer, heh.
I agree. The tone of the ads this year felt almost like lampshading. Like if we acknowledge the problem, we’re wise to what the audience is feeling, but we’re not going to do a damn thing to address it. It’s just something that needs to be done to make the ad feel remotely relevant.
AI is scary, but don’t be afraid of our surveillance device because we acknowledged that AI is scary
AI will sell you ads. Anyway, you’re watching an ad for AI
Work sucks amirite? Why not let us unemploy you?
There’s a wealth gap. Spend money on our stuff.
And I’m not going to even link the He Gets Us ads.

Thanks for taking the time.
So I’m not using a CLI. I’ve got the intelanalytics/ipex-llm-inference-cpp-xpu image running and hosting LLMs to be used by a separate open-webui container. I originally set it up with Deepseek-R1:latest per the tutorial to get the results above. This was straight out of the box with no tweaks.
The interface offers some controls settings (below screenshot). Is that what you’re talking about?

Well, not off to a great start.
To be clear, I think getting an LLM to run locally at all is super cool, but saying “go self hosted” sort of gloms over the fact that getting a local LLM to do anything close to what ChatGPT can do is a very expensive hobby.

Any suggestions on how to get these to gguf format? I found a GitHub project that claims to convert, but wondering if there’s a more direct way.

GO self-hosted,
So yours and another comment I saw today got me to dust off an old docker container I was playing with a few months ago to run deepseek-r1:8b on my server’s Intel A750 GPU with 8gb of VRAM. Not exactly top-of-the-line, but not bad.
I knew it would be slow and not as good as ChatGPT or whatever which I guess I can live with. I did ask it to write some example Rust code today which I hadn’t even thought to try and it worked.
But I also asked it to describe the characters in a popular TV show, and it got a ton of details wrong.
8b is the highest number of parameters I can run on my card. How do you propose someone in my situation run an LLM locally? Can you suggest some better models?
- Comment on Not that limit 5 weeks ago:
Yeah, it would have to be defined as a one-sided limit.
