the lamma.cpp project on github has instructions for alpaca. id recommend not using the alpaca download given and finding the updated torrent in issue #324 as the download didnt work for me
I wouldn't be able to retrain the model as my computer isn't capable enough, but I can change the prompt to change how the model acts. The prompt i'm currently using is:
"Below is an instruction that describes a task.
Write a response that appropritely completes the request."
That base prompt can be customized to complete specific tasks like classifying text or acting like an assistant.
Just today I got Stanford's Alpaca-7b model running locally on my m1 mac, it’s just facebook’s Lamma-7b model which has been trained to complete tasks. It's getting close to the versatility of chatgpt where I could actually use it for everyday tasks. I don't think open source is that far away, especially considering how quickly Alpaca came out and how much better it is vs Lamma, which frequently would hallucinate and often didn't make sense.
Example of prompt to Lamma-7b:
> write a poem about open ai not being open source
Open AI is not really “open”
As this project isn’t open sore
It can be seen as closed fortress,
Inside which secrets are hidden.
Not mind blowing but still really interesting, I will note that its much better at things like answering trivia where's there's already lots of examples in its model
The problem with iPhones is once updates stop there's nothing you can do. The iPhone 7 isn't current, it's stuck on iOS 15 while the newest is 16. And while the pixel 2 (which is only a month younger than the iPhone 7) only got official support up to Android 11; you actually own the device and can easily unlock the boot-loader to upgrade to Android 13.
i haven't noticed 4bit quantization affecting the quality of LLaMA-7B, it produces very coherent outputs, the trick is having a good example in your prompt so it has a good idea of what's expected of it.
after going to one quite regularly its quite funny when people don't know whats happening. they scan their amazon app, grab something, then walk out and look super confused where they're supposed to pay for what they've grabbed
it's interesting yea, they keep track of what you pick up and put back and sell that data to the company of the product you decided not to buy, its an opt out program thats really hard to find.
I find the phrase "Lightning connectors work with most iPhone models." really strange as the latest incompatible iphone would be the iphone 5, is this them foreshadowing a usb-c iphone?
I’ve found that being a native english speaker and offering to have quick calls/chats with those who are learning is a great way to chat with new people. I get to meet cool people from all around the world, it’s a great experience and I haven’t had to deal with any weirdos, unlike stranger chat websites where finding someone normal is a challenge. I specifically joined an English discord server, you’ll be surprised how many people will want to contact you if you just introduce yourself as a native speaker whiling to talk.
it seems more interested in conversations, the api playground when asked for "names for an ice cream shop" will give you a list of ideas, whereas chatgpt will give you a list, tell you why they're a good idea and will give you more ideas so you can make more ice cream shop names. also the api playground doesn't seem to have a moral compass, if you ask it to make insults for somebody specific
it will happily oblige, whereas ChatGPT will stop you.
I personally don't like fangs as when the bumper drags on the ground during a nosedive it slows the board down quickly, when I first nosedived at 3k miles the friction caused me to slow down to about 5mph before I had to run it out, I was going downhill and if I had fangs I would have continued accelerating, eventually you need to bail and with fangs wouldn't have been able to run it out.
onewheels suffer from a problem known as nosediving in which the board shuts off when it can't supply enough power to support the rider, as the board is self balancing this is a problem intrinsic to the board's form factor. The board works in a similar fashion to balancing something like an umbrella on your hand, as the rider leans forward it creates an imbalance that requires the board to accelerate in order to keep the rider upright. The only possible safety feature to prevent nosedives is to inform the rider that they're approaching the board's limits, this is done with "pushback" where the board elevates the nose making the rider uncomfortable, signaling that they should slow down. Newer boards are more aggressive with pushback, it's definitely a balancing act giving the user the most power from their board while also preventing them from nosediving, future motion faced significant backlash when their new flagship board implemented extremely strong pushback at a speed lower than a prior discontinued model
it's interesting that that they only want the controller, it'd be sweet to find a "broken' one for cheep that could be fitted with a new esc, but knowing this thing's target audience i doubt many will get the recall
nope it doesn't include the adapter, its a $9 extra purchased on top of the pencil, also the adapter is female on both sides so the dongle doesn't plug in directly to the ipad, it requires a cable
it's infuriating knowing that my ipad is faster than my mac as one of the gpu cores is binned on my mac and yet ill never be able to use the ipad's extra performance, with the locked bootloader it's essentially doomed to become ewaste when apple stops supporting it and the app store stops working as older ios versions are almost completely unsupported by almost all apps, meanwhile when my m1 air stops getting updates i can just switch to something like asahi :/
mcmaster is great, i had ordered a small part from once and wanted a catalog, asked them what the order minimum was for a catalog and they emailed me back basically saying "a catalog is on its way" no asking if i actually wanted a catalog or what my address was, they just sent the 20lb book over
yea they really just removed a whole product category, the only difference between the series 7 & 8 is a temperature sensor and better accelerometer, i bet they'll be alot of people seeking out titanium series 7's just like how people still seek out ceramic series 5's
