I agree that once "Q" is selected, "Qwen" is by far the most likely choice. What I don't get is why it would start by picking "Q", one of the least-used letters in English, unless it already decided to say "Qwen". Now, as others have pointed out, saying "Qwen" and being Qwen are two separate things (though I don't get why they don't just filter model declarations out of the dataset, or carefully replace them with theirs, as that would easily bias the model to always say their name).
> By contrast, U.S. developers OpenAI, Anthropic and ... Google have closed-source models.
> Chinese AI firms ... have shocked markets by releasing open-source models nearly as capable as those from OpenAI and Anthropic
Notice how they pit closed-source US companies against open-source Chinese companies (while neglecting to mention Google, and "Open"AI (once), released open models). Reuters seems to be playing along with the 'evil open-source' narrative. There was no mention of Inkling, Liquid, and other American open model companies either.
To preface this, I agree with the parent of your comment that doing water-intensive farming in California just doesn't make rational sense. However, you are seriously suggesting using guerilla tactics, against farmers of all people‽ You've got nothing on farmers. Many are hunters if you didn't know, and would start defending water pumps from hundreds of yards away (if you get my drift). Good luck ( ... not!).
One RTX 3090 would allow you to run either Qwen 3.6 model with ~100k context at Q4_K_M quantization. Two would definitely allow full context and then some, or go for Q8 quantization. You can do quote a lot of LLM stuff with one or more 3090s. Or give them to me and I will happily put them to use!
Why does this not have (day-one) support for Ollama? The previous model is on there? Is it related to the ongoing refactor work or are people abandoning Ollama for other LLM engines?
Well, there are only so many nouns, and even fewer "cool-sounding" ones. For better project differentiation, do you think we should instead be naming things "ZurgGlurg327"? I'm sure you can find a completely-unique combo for each thing, but good luck remembering the name!
I wonder if they started work on this before RAM prices spiked. Not sure how most people expect to be able to afford 128GB of RAM in today's market. Also, one USB-C and one USB-A is pretty minimal connectivity for an otherwise high-powered, wildly-expensive laptop.
Well, good thing you aren't drinking it then, because the complete lack of electrolytes would kill you far faster than the microplastics. Surely if they can chemically purify the water to chip-making standards they can filter out the microplastics (when they are done with it)? At least one can hope.
I'm sure, like any metal at an industrial scale, it is profitably recyclable. But that is beside the point. This is akin to asking: "My car's engine just threw a rod and is seized. Is it recyclable?" Hopefully you see in this analogy that the car (engine) costs way, way more than the sum of its parts (the constituent metals).
Sounds like OpenAI might be trying their hand at TPUs, like what Google has. They are one of Google's biggest advantages in AI right now. It would also give them insurance against Nvidia being everybody's hardware supplier.
Both of those write a single ISO to your USB stick, while Ventoy allows you to store numerous ISOs in a folder on the stick and choose which to use at runtime. Also, you can store other files like normal with the remaining space on your stick.
Data privacy and security don't matter? My secondhand RTX 3060 would buy a lot of cloud credits, but I don't want tons of highly personal data sent to the cloud. I can't imagine how it would be for healthcare and finance, at least if they properly shepherded their data.
Ignoring what this model architecture could do and just considering what this model does do, why would I (or anyone) want to run this model (locally) to do <insert use-case>? Is it entirely a proof-of-concept for future training on medical data? Are they looking to use this to attempt to ethically justify training on (free-tier) user's personal data via the application of noise to the training data?
Is it too big a leap for me to assume someone is going around using password spraying or whatever to compromise neglected accounts for use as spam bots?
The factual info in your reference "[0]" makes no sense. The writer (and illustrator) of the Dilbert cartoon is Scott Adams [1]. I have no idea what the name you referenced has anything to do with it, other than some Japanese software. Or was all of part of your comment written by an LLM?
I remember receiving this video ad for a Chevy pickup truck in a print issue of Popular Mechanics circa 2015 [0]. When disassembled, it consisted of a screen, battery, speaker, and circuit board. What the article doesn't say is that the circuit board had a micro-USB port which when connected to a computer mounted the internal storage as a drive, with the four-or-so videos it played accessible. I actually managed to find an existing home video video with the correct format (I wasn't familiar with FFmpeg at the time) and when one of the internal videos was replaced with mine (with the same filename), it would play instead. I believe the micro-USB also charged the internal LiPo battery as well, as I don't recall being worried too much about battery life. I probably still have the thing somewhere!

It is interesting that T-0 says "Excitement guaranteed" instead of "launch" or something. Besides being funny, it seems like they are officially accepting the reality that it may not go as planned (even at so early a stage), but will be thrilling nevertheless!
Apparently there are ongoing hostilities between the archive.* websites (archive.today, archive.is, archive.ph, etc.) and Cloudflare. Try changing your device's DNS settings to something other than Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) to access the archive.* website. For example, Google's DNS is at 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 . If your browser has DNS-over-HTTPS enabled, add an exception for the archive.* sites. (I believe Firefox has it on by default and I had to add exceptions for three or four of the archive.* sites to be able to use them).
The twitch right as you are falling asleep is known as a hypnic jerk. The flash of light may be related to exploding head syndrome. The faint "music" could be tinnitus, some electric device (speakers, guitar amp, etc.) picking up an AM or shortwave radio station, or just your brain making up (or playing back) music as you drift off to sleep.
I believe the rule is not to play until clicked, for videos with sound. However, for videos that don't have sound, they are allowed to play at page-load. Also, due to this functionality, sites now have a sound-less video first play and then switch to a version with sound (faking "un-muting") when clicked. This does have the nice side-effect of eliminating those really annoying ads that used to play at full blast whenever I forgot to mute my laptop's sound. (Nonetheless, I still reflexively turn my laptop's speakers down to 5% when I am not using them after getting burned so many times in public.)
Note: This article is not about running Mac Classic directly on the Wii (e.g., with modified drivers). Instead, Linux is used to run a program called Mac-on-Linux (https://www.maconlinux.net) that takes care of the hardware interfacing problem while utilizing the Wii's PowerPC CPU natively, as it is very similar to a Mac G3 series CPU. Still, it is an interesting accomplishment.
