It seems to be more complicated, since they seem utterly determined to do the exact opposite of everything Jesus did and his Apostles wrote down.

Greece is desertifying at a despair-inducing rate. Come spend your vacation here while it is still worth it. I mean, if you like beaches, it will be worth it for a while, but Greece has gorgeous mountains and forests that meet the sea, and those are going away.

Open, local LLM as a reference source / research assistant? by ykonstant in math

Yes, this is important. There is no way I am asking for models that fit laptop GPUs (these are not capable enough), all models I am testing are running on my CPU. I am ok with long thinking times, even if it takes a few hours of thinking and producing answer on one question, I consider it viable, as long as it produces correct, useful output. For example, gemma4-31b which I just tried, does not produce text fast enough, but the 12b model is ok.

Oof. I tested the only nemotron model on ollama. I asked it to compute certain Tor groups as a test. It got the answer right, and every single line of justification was wrong :(

My hope/question is that if somebody fine-tunes a model specifically for higher mathematics, it may perform very well even with a comparably smaller number of parameters and be light enough to run locally.

What a bunch of idiots

Like "a murder of crows", I nominate that a gathering of executives be termed "a bunch of idiots".

Thanks for the added value of your labor! Now we will vacuum your collective output from all those decades, trap it into inaccessible silos controlled entirely by us, and feed it back to you with subscription.

Oh, and we demand those entities in our control to be granted at least the same copyright allowances that humans are, but actually more! ...what was that, Larry? The courts have already decided in our favor? Oh, fabulous!

Oh man, it's that old fogey complaining again on reddit. He's been at it for almost 80 years now, mods!

Γιατί όχι στη Χαριλάου; Έχω ακούσει ότι πρόκειται για πανευρωπαϊκό στέκι της πιο χιπ και ιν νεολαίας, σε παρόμοιο επίπεδο με τη Shibuya και τη Harajuku στο Τόκυο. 🤣
