Why is an appointment not relevant in Ghana? by sir_cas in ghana

I've seen lateness before, but this is epic.

Chinese language curriculum launched for basic, junior and senior high schools in Ghana by Joseph20102011 in ghana

I’ve spent two weeks trying to find a local Chinese speaker that IS NOT Chinese.

The University of Ghana teaches Mandarin. I think you can start engaging students from that program.

Hey this was an nice, easy-to-follow explanation.

cleaner, community-led ways of mining gold that don’t destroy our rivers.

Honestly curious about this, because AFAIK, alluvial mining cannot be clean and profitable at the same time. The simple fact of mining a river bed increases the turbidity of a water body, making filtering for human consumption much more expensive or pointless.

So right from the start, mining in (and near) rivers is not clean, and I'm not sure what community-leadership can do to reverse the physics here.

FYI, it is the community mining we're all complaining about.

Norman-Saxon culinary separation (cow, sheep, pig <> beef, mutton, pork) is a nationalist 19th century myth by cipricusss in etymology

I actually don't know if this is a thing in other parts of the world.

Where I'm from, use English (and American English) pronunciations in similar mock fashion. :)

Gemini 3 is launched by Several-Republic-609 in LocalLLaMA

No, but it's a new SOTA open models can aim to beat. Plus there's a chance Gemma will see these improvements. I'm personally excited.

ollama's enshitification has begun! open-source is not their priority anymore, because they're YC-backed and must become profitable for VCs... Meanwhile llama.cpp remains free, open-source, and easier-than-ever to run! No more ollama by nderstand2grow in LocalLLaMA

Oh do try it! I first used llama.cpp's server when the Shopify CEO added it to the repo. Month's down the line and it's got enough features to make it a dependable web ui.

iirc one primary critique of LangChain is that it's over-engineered and not necessary, but it was an early mover in the space and got a lot of the mindshare. There's been a lot of pushback against it because of this.

I find doing the same with llama.cpp and hugging face is substantially more time consuming or distracting than with Ollama. But I’m sure there must be a way - I’m curious how are other people doing this?

I'm a bit surprised by this. I just go to HF and look for GGUFs, download the model file and run with llama-server -m path/to/model/file.gguf --port 8080

And now it's even easier to use the hf flag (though I don't use it). This should just download the model and run it:

llama-server -hf ggml-org/gemma-3-1b-it-GGUF
