Big brain tech dude got yet another clueless take over at HackerNews etc? Here's the place to vent. Orange site, VC foolishness, all welcome.

This is not debate club. Unless it’s amusing debate.

Does Ollama accept custom parameters now?

I wasn't talking about their effectiveness though. Yeah, they're sloppy as hell, but I'd rather trust a sloppy tool I set up at home and use myself than having someone I don't trust at home using their sloppy tools, tinkering with my property without permission when I'm not looking and changing their terms and prices each day.

But granted your point is a really good one. These AI ready laptops don't give the bang for your buck you'd expect. We're all better off taking good care of our older harware and waiting longer for components that are a true improvement to replace them.

It sounds like I'm ragging on the hardware and I'm not, the chip is really cool for gaming and other fun stuff.

You are right about that older hardware too. Americans oughta look at their scrap market right now because it's good as hell and artificially cheap because of this nonsense LLM boom.
