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.

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.

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

If things haven’t changed recently: remember that each time you get a giveaway game from the site you are (re)subscribing to the newsletter too

They have finally updated the Status Page

Not a lot of information, but better than nothing

Yeah, incredibly frustrating.
The only acknowledgement is from a volunteer mod on reddit that said an hour ago that “the team is aware and the status page will be updated shortly”.

The fact I had to dig around to find that is really not a pleasing experience.

Their systems currently report that everything’s fine, which - to be fair - could be a misreporting and change at any moment
Anecdotally all their landing sites load fine for me

Tackling it from the other side: could it be a problem with your DNS?
Did you try with another network? Like wifi or mobile data

EDIT: Formatting

EDIT: Tried again and now the email service seems to not be loading

EDIT 2: It is being reported on other sites too, but currently there’s nothing official I could find, not even on their Mastodon or Twitter various accounts

EDIT 3: On reddit the volunteer mod alex_herrero wrote an hour ago that “The team is aware and [the] status page will be updated shortly”.

I’ve read good things about LTX, but I’ve never used it.

You’ll die, just make it matter

That’s the bad thing about social media. If no one was doing it before, someone is now!

Jokes aside it’s possible, but with the current LLMs I don’t think there’s really a need for something like that.

Malicious actors usually try to spend the least amount of effort possibile for generalized attacks, because you end up having to often restart when found out.

So they probably just feed an LLM with some examples to get the tone right and prompt it in a way that suits their uses.

You can generate thousands of posts while Lemmy hasn’t even started to reply to one.

If you instead want to know if anyone is taking all the comments on lemmy to feed to some model training… Yeah, of course they are. Federation makes it incredibly easy to do.

Probably I’m missing something but I’ve read the parent comment as a way to highlight the hypocrisy behind making extensive use of something while, simultaneously, wanting to bar others from using it

I don’t see an insult in there, given the choice of words and the context, but maybe I’m missing something fundamental?

Hangs, reboots or does it turn off? Depending on that it could be a plethora of things.

Do you get any error prompts? Any red alerts when restarting?

Did you check that the monitor works steadily on another system/OS?

Did you try another DE, even on a live usb?

Is the HDD/SSD healthy?

Are all the fans working? Is it the thermal protection?

Is the PSU healthy and or the power connection damaged?

Does your system have a centralized logging like journalctl or can you reach the single log files to check and add more information?

It could literally be anything, even aliens.

Technically speaking, AFAIK, it is some years now that Ariane has started a project about a partially reusable rocket

EDIT: Reading the article I think it is the same project? I assume I’m misreading your comment

I assumed it was a shitpost, instead it is a real tweet. What a time to be alive.

Jokes aside the only real reason I can fathom for the collectibles company to call their mother is because they had used it as the contact number in the registry. I would be surprised if this was some kind of intimidation tactic instead of just miscommunication - in the sense they probably just wanted to legally intimidate the itch’s owner not their immediate family. They are not 2K ^/s.

AFAIK it is still a tuning of llama 3[.1], the new Base models will come with the release of 4 and the “Training Data” section of both the model cards is basically a copy paste.

Honestly I didn’t even consider the fact they would not be giving Base models anymore before reading this post and, even now, I don’t think this is the case. I went to search the announcements posts to see if there was something that could make me think about it being a possibility, but nothing came out.

It is true that they released Base models with 3.2, but there they had added a new projection layer on top of that, so the starting point was actually different. And 3.1 did supersede 3…

So I went and checked the 3.3 hardware section and compare it with the 3 one, the 3.1 one and the 3.2 one.

So yeah, I’m pretty sure the base of 3.3 is just 3.1 and they just renamed the model in the card and added the functional differences. The instruct and base versions of the models have the same numbers in the HW section, I’ll link them at the end just because.

All these words to say: I’ve no real proof, but I will be quite surprised if they will not release the Base version of 4.

In Star Trek? Around the aftermath of the Eugenics wars

It’s probably a problem with the UEFI, the windows info got overwritten, and you can probably fix this with efibootmgr

It happened to me too, but unfortunately it was some years ago and I’m not at home to find the related notes that I took. I remember there was a windows utility to rewrite the boot loader. But probably in your case the boot partition is still okay, just the UEFI entry got overwritten and you just have to add it back manually.

Check the troubleshooting section of the wiki page to have a tip on the windows booting location
