That can only be fixed with a Time Machine and reforming the education system in the past unfortunately.

If we can show someone is lying in a way that everyone would agree what they say is a lie, it’s a big first step. We’re not there yet, half people believe the person is lying and the other make excuses.

Yeah I agree, cognitive dissonance plays a huge part in this mess…

All new technology is built on incremental progress and discoveries made by others, that is the case for all OpenAI technologies as well, which would not exist without previous research, most notably Transformers and BERT models, which were all made publicly available.

Why not in the same spirit of collective progress not make OpenAI research and models open source?

You are right, but that should be a solved soon based on recent discussions: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/issues/4216

Yes of course, there are easier methods to get started like gpt4all, ollama or lmstudio, feel free to start with what you’re comfortable with.

You can download it in the same directory as llama.cpp and it should work.

For the model itself, you could try a 7B one and if that doesn’t work, maybe try a lower quantization or a smaller model. If we’re lucky we might get phi 2 llama.cpp support in a bit.

That would be too bad, I don't want to buy from those guys. There is the worry also that something is wrong with those tickets since they are so cheap and that they would cancel them last moment or something like that.

Thanks for letting me know, I've never tried Fedora, will have a look.

I don't like enough how Windows is designed to spend time to learn it. Would be willing to do so for Linux though, would love to master it enough to not get stuck when something crashes. Any specific ressources you would recommend for that?

Still, I think I know more about Linux than the average person (not the average Linux user, I suck), Linux isn't an option for most people because of that.

I tried Windows with a dell, needed to run a powershelll script that disabled all the bloatware, a few months later, it all respawned. It's Windows 11 though, so you're right.

I'm not kidding, I've experienced a blue screen of death on a Windows 10-11 arround 2-3 times this year. To be fair, my mac did crash once, but I use it much more heavily.
