Is there a performance comparison with Ollama. Do both use llama.cpp for serving?

The question to about the obvious quality drop for Google is, Is this intentional? Perhaps some cost saving or ROI measures? Or the motive always was to just train their AI and we just helped with that?
Feels sped up. the car music system seems to show faster speed of leds and the speedometer is also stuck in an odd angle.

Great effort nonetheless

>Defunkt makes it sound like it was a choice and they were a steward ... bs. If Google had a better offer, it would have been done.

Exactly! Total BS!

There are however some things that would motivate many founders to turn down their(Google) offers.

- Biggest issue with Google Acquisitions. They want the business and not the tech. They want to rewrite the tech riding their high horse. - They often wont offer full time roles to employees of acquired companies and would keep them on contract positions pending "interview" for full time.

Re:An Elm Fork on Saturday June 10, 2023 @10:32PM (#36277396)
100% Agree.
Not sure what you run this on and why its $50/day but sounds like a lot.

Convert your server cost to a pay as you go model. You are currently paying even for time when your server is idle. Containerise your app and run on something like AWS Lambda which has a pay for what you use model.

- s3 is cheap for storing your model data and as long as you are just reading that should be fine.

- AWS Lambda has 1 million free invocations per month in free tier.

- Post that you pay $0.60 per 1 million requests

- AWS stack is just an example, you can easily use GCP Cloud run or any other equivalent service.

Re:Can anyone recommend event-driven architecture book? on Saturday September 03, 2022 @09:30PM (#32708745)
This is indeed really a nice book. The accompanying website https://www.enterpriseintegrationpatterns.com is very useful as well.
In my experience it's very hard to write code for parallel compute workloads and I am guessing that half of the code written would be creating abstractions about that.
I am curious as to what class of problems are being solved on these super computers. Also whats the abstraction of computation here. Is it a container :-t :-t :-t

He has really not completed a single book on that list. I can see a bunch which are "Currently reading" but none are complete. and we are getting advice based on that.Maybe I'll be look to read his blog after some reading has been done.
I am Confused about why Conflict of interest is not being mentioned if Lead Researcher is a Clinical Consultant(https://www.linkedin.com/in/dylan-lowe-phd/) at https://getkeyto.com I am sure Time restricted eating would compete with Keto Diets and may have an impact on the business for such companies.
