The same reason I use apt install instead of compiling from source. I can definitely do that, but I don't, because it's just a way to get things installed.

Basically, if you know how to use a computer, you can use Ollama (almost). You can't say the same thing about llama.cpp. Not everyone knows how to build from source, or even what "build" means.

Great to see this.

PS. Have you got feedback on whether this works on Windows? If not, I can try to create a build today.

I took a brief look at these things, and my impression is that their stuff isn't "ready" for anyone outside Jane Street, even though they put a lot of effort in building the ecosystem and open source their code.

No, work is never the core problem. Backlog of bug fixes/enhancements is rarely what determines the headcount. What matters is the business need. If the product sells and there is no/little competition, the company has very little incentive to improve their products, especially hiring people to do the work. You'd be thankful if a company does not layoff people in teams working on mature products. In fact, the opposite has been happening, for quite a while. There are so many examples out there that I don't need to name them.

> Given the spending that is now on hold was apportioned by Congress, it is likely this will face legal challenges about the scope of presidential power.

But I guess it's very easy for you to write such a comment without ever establishing that the person is actually guilty, as if, in domestic violence, people should be considered guilty unless proven innocent? Thankfully you are not a prosecutor.

I have colleagues who used Copilot for generating slides in PowerPoint. Copilot created slides that are completely unrelated to the prompt.

Apple Intelligence is horrible and hallucinates a ton, but at least it spits out nonsense on the same topic.

I can't tell if you are serious or not.

VR and watching videos, on the other hand, are real use cases, just like how people are using them today.

I am not looking forward to a trip booked for wrong dates with the hotel name confused/hallucinated for a different one.

Try it once and come back to update your comments.

And that is exactly what Meta wanted. They don't want to rely on Play Store, and they managed to ship tens of millions of devices without it.

Not to mention that you can add documentation to each of the entries.

That's the issue. Almost nobody downloads music anymore, however easy it is. Because streaming apps like Spotify make the experience so much better. You are in the middle of the song and wants to cast to your living room speakers? Two clicks. You want to transfer that from your phone to your computer? Just a few clicks. Want to quickly jump back into an album or get recommendations of similar albums? It's all there on the home page. It's hard to beat this experience. The only exception I know is people who rip/pirate FLAC files because they want the best quality possible and don't care about anything else. That's like <0.01% of the users these days.

Most people switched from Internet Explorer.

Firefox was never the "mainstream" choice.

Who said that? It's meaningful if you read the feed across multiple devices, but lots of people read RSS on their computer only.

And even so browsers could provide RSS status synchronization. In fact almost every browser is already syncing your browsing history, bookmarks and settings if you are signed in.

not true.
