It can be–just put it on a pizza

How long did you spend choosing how to spell hi

Found the flatpak hater

If you do set up a RAG store, please post the tech stack you use as I’m in a similar situation. The inbuilt document store management in ollama+openwebui is a bit clunky.

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

TBH kinda relaxing

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.

You’re right, and New Zealand is our nicer, saner neighbour (Canada of the southern hemisphere)

I think it’s community (and lack thereof). When you had to talk to others on your server only, sit in LFG and shout in Ironforge for a UBRS group, then all schlep to Blackrock Mountain, then spend an hour battling through the instance, that was a shared experience with players you’d see more or less often. Now, it’s get in a random queue, get teleported there, race behind some tank who can solo the whole thing, then everyone drops at the end before you can even say thanks.

They went one better, nobody cared about being fat.

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

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

And convert it into koala sanctuary

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

Just post it on Ginstagram
