  • I’d be interested to see how it goes. I’ve deployed Ollama plus Open WebUI on a few hosts and small models like Llama3.2 run adequately (at least as fast as I can read) on even an old i5-8500T with no GPU. Oracle Cloud free tier might work OK.

  • Running an LLM can certainly be an on-demand service. Apart from training, which I don’t think we are discussing, GPU compute is only used while responding to prompts.

  • Love these posts. Plus every month you get to see the flatpak haters try to convince us we are using the wrong technology.

  • I’ve used it productively this week by…

    • Summarising and finding relevant parts of Microsoft Teams meetings.
    • Finding relevant parts of the labyrinthine policies I have to comply with.
    • Quickly finding out what’s going on with corporate events in the market.
    • Generating SQL code instead of starting a blank query from scratch (I can never remember the exact way to declare various structures)
    • At home, feeding private documents into Ollama for insight and producing compliance reports.
    • Instructions for stepping through flashing some temperature sensors.
  • This is so exciting! Go little mouse, you can do it

  • My neighbour’s cat was also a Loki, very chill for a trickster god, and sadly passed away a few weeks ago. Glad yours is enjoying the race. We’re considering getting a cat, might give it the same name, just spelled Lowkey.

  • It’s the billionaires. Apparently it was trickle-up economics all along.

  • I thought it was once every other pig, thanks for the info!

  • Built a booby-trap device to cover porch pirates in glitter. Oh no, such a disgrace.

  • Ah, the old game of cat and mouse

  • Turkey control rods

  • Might be the insanity is the part about Canadians joining in?

  • I guess Australia.gov can be the site in the middle handing out the tokens

  • I didn’t know so many awesome comics came from just one person!

  • Same as last year. Socks and whiskey.

  • With great relish

  • Arrogance, then more arrogance.

  • And slack capacity can be used effectively e.g., spend some time on process improvement. There’s always some saw to sharpen or some technical debt to repay.
