If you check wikipedia, you will find that most is coming from GMO'd yeasts and moulds these days.

Okay?

Lots of European cheeses still use animal rennet, including several well known AOC (or PDO in English, I guess) ones with recognizable names.

I can check Wikipedia all I want but that doesn't make several of the cheeses I like to buy vegetarian.

Yup, exactly this. I’m European and prefer EU cheese, but many do use animal rennet.

Art is strictly not about efficiency. Go do the thing instead of thinking about optimising everything.

So? Not everything you create needs fans or monetisation. It should still elevate your sense of accomplishment, like a kind of Type 2 fun.

As a kid I accidently plugged a mic into the speaker port and was surprised that, when I put my ear close to the mic, I could hear the computer sounds! It made sense in hindsight, and since then I knew they are kind of functionally equivalent.

My first “electric guitar” as a kid was my acoustic with an earphone taped to the bridge and plugged to the mic in of my boom box.

It was also my first “fuzz pedal” because the sound never came out clean :)

what are you talking about? llama.cpp doesn't need to respect ollamas speed at all. It does not depend on it, it's the opposite of that.

The claim was that llama.cpp moves too fast to be in Arch's normal repos. But Arch does package ollama. Therefore, either 1. ollama somehow avoids the need to move fast, or 2. it moves at an acceptable pace when packaged.

Edit: Or perhaps put differently: If ollama includes a copy of llama.cpp and has a non-AUR package, why can't there be a non-AUR package that's just llama.cpp without ollama?

I highly doubt that prompts are that valuable, considering the inconsistent responses by llms to repeated queries. Besides, they are easily reproduced...

It really doesn't. We teach kids how to program basic games like minecraft. The real appeal was and always has been the fully destructible Lego-like world bundled with good-enough online multiplayer. I was there when it started and he posted his questions/progress on the forums I frequented back then. Those posts where the starting ramp and testing ground that got him his first few users which then snowballed.

There is neither knowledge nor talent here, he stumbled into it, and that's fine.

I'm sure they will find something when it really starts to bother them personally.

Honestly not that big a difference here. Both can be loosely interpreted as gambling, especially with the same rough upsides (money without production or consumption!) downsides (addiction, critical existence failure of all your savings) and the corruption and perverse incentives they invite.

But we and dinosaurs share a descendant that already had neurons/a brain?

I don't know, haven't really seen an adult in a long, long time.

Are you marooned on that island in Lord of the Flies?

Aren't we all?
