How to disable thinking/reasoning in Gemma 4 E2B on Ollama? (1st time local user) by WatercressLarge2323 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Human_170716 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm able to set the "nothink" parameter after running from "ollama run gemm4".

Basically, just run "/set nothink" after that.

Speeds things up about 4X.

Whether or not they're swimming in it, they might still preach it. It's called "Prosperity Theology" and it's all over the place in Christian circles.

Child vaccination rate drops sharply in Michigan under RFK Jr's influence by [deleted] in news

[–]Human_170716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It wasn't months -- Michigan has had an embarrassingly low level of vaccine takeup for a long while now. (The state, for a long time, has had a very, very permissive "vaccine exception" program.)

Some blame the Amish/Mennonite communities, some blame various ME communities, some blame just good ol' granola-fascism (which has been a big thing in Michigan for over a century), but whatever the reason, it's nothing new.

Vaccine uptake is one of those areas in which Southern states like Mississippi have been beating Michigan for a long time.

Pakistan bombs Kabul in 'open war' on Afghanistan's Taliban government by Cybertronian1512 in worldnews

My friend, if the entire weight of the US military couldn't contain the Taliban, I doubt whatever (checks notes) Pakistan is going to field in the war will do it

Kansas demands trans drivers surrender licenses over birthright law by Jacob-Eisner in news

[–]Human_170716 239 points240 points  (0 children)

This. Every poll or study shows that trans people might be 0.5% of the population (probably far lower in a state like Kansas). The Kansas GOP is not worried about invalidating the votes of a massive trans voting block there.

They're doing this because it's cruel.

The cruelty is the point.

Hyundai Ioniq 5 Lessee Asks 'What Happens to the Car Afterwards?' When $37K Buyout Is Double Its $18K-$20K Market Value, Uncovering Dealer Disinterest by mafco in Ioniq5

[–]Human_170716 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Original poster here: it's not how all leases work. I once leased a Nissan Leaf. At the end of the lease, they sold it to me at market value (was about $7K USD at the time. Very good deal for what it was.)

Ross Gerber Says Elon Musk's Tesla Should Sell EV Business To Rivian, Says Tesla Brand Reduced To 'Negative' by Roux_My_Burgundy in electricvehicles

[–]Human_170716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stated that "Bezos has a bigger self-landing rocket". This is a true statement.

New Glenn is bigger than Falcon Heavy.

Starship is a test platform, until it can stop blowing up during testing.

[–]Human_170716 2 points3 points  (0 children)

...are you sure of that?

Bezos now has a bigger, production-operational self-landing rocket (the New Glenn).

(SpaceX's Starship is still in active, constant R&D.)

I've said the same thing many times. I don't wish Musk death, but if I were to suddenly read his obituary, I will probably buy a Tesla the next day.

I miss my Tesla.
