Everyone seems to be missing important piece here. Ollama is/was a one click solution for non technical person to launch a local model. It doesn’t need a lot of configuration, detects Nvidia GPU and starts model inferencing with single command. Core principle being your grandmother should be able to launch local AI model without needing to install 100 dependencies.

Exactly.

I can be in a non-technical team, and put the LLM code inside docker.

The local dev instruction is to install ollama and use it to pull the models and set some env vars.

The same code can point at bedrock when deployed there.

Using straight llamacpp at the time I wrote that it wasn't as straightforward.

For fun, this is how an actual "non-technical" individual would hear/read your comment:

I think when people say "non-technical", it feels like they're talking about "People who work in tech startups, but aren't developers" instead of actually people who aren't technical one bit, the ones who don't know the difference between "desktop" and a "browser" for example. Where you tell them to press any key, and they replied with "What key is that?".

Maybe it is today, but initially ollama was only a cli, so obviously not for "non technical people" who would have no idea how to even use a terminal. If you hang out in the Ollama Discord (unlikely, as the mods are very ban-happy), you'd see constantly people asking for very trivial help, like how to enter commands in the terminal, and the community stringing them along, instead of just directing them to LM Desktop or something that would be much better for that type of user.

What about the roadster?

I’m no fan of guns but showing up with a gun is not illegal or criminal in itself that deserves instant death sentence. So you might want to introspect what you’re saying here.

I have introspected this thoroughly. What I'm saying is if you're confiscated a gun in some highly urgent situation, then the people doing the seizing get even more tense in their mental state, so accidents are easy to make.

While it may be worth it to investigate the situation and there may some blame on the officer, then the allusions people are making (perhaps not you) are completely out of whack.

I'm sure it's inconvenient if your party or candidate lost the presidential election, but you shouldn't turn to lying for retribution.

Calling this an "accident" is a pretty huge stretch I must say. They dumped rounds in the guy while he was collapsed face down on the pavement and unarmed.

All of the officers didn't know he was unarmed nor whether it was his last firearm.

If they didn't know they shouldn't have been firing at him. Soldiers in active warzones wouldn't be given such considerations and allowed to just blast people that they don't even know are armed. There is no excuse.

I would like to see any situation where an average citizen could kill somebody in a similar manner and be given the benefit of the doubt. Because "He may or may not have been armed, I don't really know because I couldn't see" would not fly in any US court for any other random civilian.

Police (and people in general) react to what appears. They can't stop time, strip-search Pretti, find nothing, then continue.

I could also say "there is no excuse for you to not understand why ICE did what they did". No point in these judgements, they don't help your argument.

The entire protest isn't a plain protest. They could do their whistling and marching on a public square, yet they walk and whistle along with law enforcement. (I guess the new way to rob a bank would just be to walk in there with the guards, but say that you're protesting and talk about the letters of constitution?)

It's not illegal to whistle near law enforcement.

Also they're not law enforcement.

They are, and I do think it's illegal to interfere with police work.

Neither is showing up to a bank with a gun. Yet a robbery is likely to have much more severe consequences if you are armed.

It's funny how people use the lawfulness argument for carrying a gun to protest, but don't use the same argument against deporting illegals.

Doesn’t ChatGPT have WhatsApp access?

Not anymore. Meta didn't want competitors.

Is it a ‘snarky political jab’ if it is highly likely to happen irl?

Two things can be true.

Sell the asset and then lease it from the buyer.

That works fine with office buildings and stuff where a company is redistributing its risk profile, but not when the company it’s selling to has every incentive to kill the asset as a competitor.
