Mechanize

I don't really know how I feel about those root-like teeth, probably a bit uncomfortable, but that's art.

Awesome work!

Giorgia Meloni is trying to position herself as a mediator between America and Europe, which honestly I think is a fool's errand, but it is in line with her Atlanticist foreign policy.
I would have personally preferred a real, firm, statement towards Ukraine's support but until we'll have people like Salvini - a Putin's lover - and his 'Lega Nord' party in the government it is infeasible to expect it.

At the same time FdI (Meloni's party) has historically been pretty pro-ukraine, so I will be very surprised if something is not going to happen in the next few days.

Remember that this quote is from Crosetto, the current Minister of Defence, just a few days ago: "Peace, however, must not mean humiliating a free people who have done nothing but die and sacrifice to defend themselves."

I'm not in line with their national policies - by a wide margin - but currently Meloni's party and the Partito Democratico are the only pro-ukraine voices in Italian politics with some weight

It's depressing.

Non ne ho mai avuto uno, quindi prendi quel che scrivo per quel che vale, ma all'epoca avevo letto che il supporto software - su windows - è abbastanza pessimo.

Sarebbe interessante capire se è migliorato, ma visto il cambio di prezzo può esser benissimo che abbia perso l'opportunità di prender mercato

Onestamente non mi è mai successo di vederne, magari è una cosa di zona?

Se si parla di auto relativamente vecchie c'è anche la possibilità che, semplicemente, facciano più chiaro rispetto agli anabbaglianti a lampadina.
Sinceramente non saprei

Honestly I don't have any amazing idea, but you could try to fence around the plants with some diatomaceous earth.

I've never used it - mainly because it is pretty hard to find where I live - but read good things about it.

If you still have them you should consider uploading them to archive.org, or similar services, so you can more easily recover them in similar cases

It's sad, but currently inevitable, for fediverse servers to disappear with everything they hold

“Look, Mexico and Canada have never been good to us on trade,” he continued. “They’ve treated us very unfairly on trade, and we will be able to make that up very quickly because we don’t need the products that they have.”

Hahahahaha...oh god, comedy heaven!

...Wait, what do you mean this is not the onion?

This was all theatre where nothing in reality changed, to show how tough and intransigent this admin wants to be: the real problem is that if formally and informally allied nations start to think that the USA would really commit to bullying as a real negotiation tactic, they will start to divest from it and expand their pool of partners to make these tactics less impactful.

This could be disastrous in the long run, with decades of integration and diplomacy going in smoke. But in the short term there will be a lot of "winning", as they keep saying. I guess.

The first Trump term was seen as a short term derailing. The second one has a complete different international impact.

Goodwill is a real diplomatic form of currency and it is getting burned at a real fast pace.

Per poterlo fare possono, ma è ovvio che sia una palese presa per i fondelli.

Cambia banca. Se son 4 euro l'uno con tre bonifici mensili hai già pagato il canone mensile per un conto business con zero spese aggiuntive. E puoi certamente trovarne a meno se sei dipendente con stipendio accreditabile.

I've never used oobabooga but if you use llama.cpp directly you can specify the number of layers that you want to run on the GPU with the -ngl flag, followed by the number.

So, as an example, a command (on linux) from the directory you have the binary, to run its server would look something like: ./llama-server -m "/path/to/model.gguf" -ngl 10

Another important flag that could interest you is -c for the context size.

This will put 10 layers of the model on the GPU, the rest will be on RAM for the CPU.

I would be surprised if you can't just connect to the llama.cpp server or just set text-generation-webui to do the same with some setting.

At worst you can consider using ollama, which is a llama.cpp wrapper.

But probably you would want to invest the time to understand how to use llama.cpp directly and put a UI in front of it, Sillytavern is a good one for many usecases, OpenWebUI can be another but - in my experience - it tends to have more half baked features and the development jumps around a lot.

As a more general answer, no, the safetensor format doesn't directly support quantization, as far as I know

I watched the features trailer and it gives me the vibes of an attempt towards a weird Kenshi in a wuxia world, which is not bad per se, but there are really not a lot of info on how the grind (the meat of this type of games) really works.

For now it seems mostly a map based sandbox with lofty ambitions... but the graphic style is lovely!

I'll try to keep an eye on it, even if it probably will not find the light of release for a couple of years more (IMHO)

Good find!
