ollama should be much easier to setup!
- Comment on Sam Altman says ChatGPT should be 'much less lazy now' 9 months ago:
ROCm is decent right now, I can do deep learning stuff and CUDA programming with it with an AMD APU. However, ollama doesn’t work out-of-the-box yet with APUs, but users seem to say that it works with dedicated AMD GPUs.
As for Mixtral8x7b, I couldn’t run it on a system with 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2070S with 8GB of VRAM, I’ll probably try with another system soon. But that same system runs CodeLlama-34B fine.
So far I’m happy with Mistral 7b, it’s extremely fast on my RTX 2070S, and it’s not really slow when running in CPU-mode on an AMD Ryzen 7. Its speed is okayish (~1 token/sec) when I try it in CPU-mode on an old Thinkpad T480 with an 8th gen i5 CPU.

PSA: give open-source LLMs a try folks. If you’re on Linux or macOS, ollama makes it incredibly easy to try most of the popular open-source LLMs like Mistral 7B, Mixtral 8x7B, CodeLlama etc… Obviously it’s faster if you have a CUDA/ROCm-capable GPU, but it still works in CPU-mode too (albeit slow if the model is huge) provided you have enough RAM.
You can combine that with a UI like ollama-webui or a text-based UI like oterm.

Hmm I don’t think it’s because of that feature, because it only runs when you explicitly ask it to translate a page for you.

- Comment on Exploring Reddit’s third-party app environment 7 months after the APIcalypse 9 months ago:
RedReader gets a barely-glance in a single sentence. A single dev (and with users providing PRs) has one of the best, and most unknown, apps for over a decade now.
RedReader is definitely a gem. Incredible app that still works despite the Reddit appocalypse.
- Comment on AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card 9 months ago:
But for a moment I was like wow, 100FPS in software rendering
Thank you, that exactly was my point.
- Comment on AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card 9 months ago:
Because the title is still vague, and yes GPU and “graphics card” are often used interchangeably by the web (examples: hp.com/…/integrated-vs-dedicated-graphics-cards and www.ubisoft.com/en-us/help/…/000081045 ).
“New CPU hits 132fps” could wrongly suggest software rendering, which is very different (see for example gamedeveloper.com/…/rad-launches-pixomatic----new… ) and died more than a decade ago.
- Comment on AMD’s new CPU hits 132fps in Fortnite without a graphics card 9 months ago:
A bit misleading, what is meant is that no dedicated GPU is being used. The integrated GPU in the APU is still a GPU. But yes, AMD’s recent APUs are amazing for folks who don’t want to spend too much to get a reasonable gaming setup.

- Comment on How do you find the mental fortitude to keep doing a job you don’t quite like due to the coworkers while you look for a new one even if you don’t know you are sure you’re going to quit? 9 months ago:
Something you’ll learn to live by once enter the workplace: your coworkers are not your friends. There might be a one in a thousand case that’s an exception to this rule, but most of the time you should not think of them as more than coworkers you have to work with to get your job done. I’ve witnessed too many cases of coworkers backstabbing each other for their own professional ambitions or where a coworker dies and everyone just forgets about him a few days later.
That doesn’t mean you should be overly pessimistic either. The idea is to be pragmatic. No one wants a toxic environment, so everyone will put in some effort to maintain a cozy facade, and you should too, as that minimizes tensions for everyone. The mistake would be forgetting that it’s all a facade and starting to think of them as something like a family.
My motto is: smile at your coworkers but guard your damn ass when you turn your back to them.
- Comment on Google News is indexing and promoting websites that immediately rip off others with AI clones of their articles. These websites are absolutely littered with Google ads. 9 months ago:
They’re called MFAs (Made For AdSense), nothing changed since the early AdSense days. It’s unlikely that Google is knowingly boosting them, it’s just that search engines have always been easy to game with artificial link building and keyword density maximization.

- Comment on RIP Pascal creator Niklaus Wirth 10 months ago:
Pascal is so incredibly good and simple that I was writing programs (sort of, half of the time it was gibberish) in it when I was 7 years old and what helped a lot was that at the time Turbo Pascal came with lots of cool tutorials, so you could just play around with code snippets until you figure it out on your own. Delphi was also amazing, it had the same simplicity of Visual Basic to make GUI apps while featuring a much better and more rigourous language.
