I am learning an incredible amount just by reading issues and pull requests in llama.cpp! A few weeks ago, I knew nothing about weight quantization in AI models, had no idea what LoRA was, and was unaware of how badly mmap is broken on Windows. Contributing to a new open-source project feels like being in a room where everyone is smarter than you. However, after a few weeks, you become one of these smart people, and you can start helping others. This is truly empowering! Thank you, @ggerganov, for creating a project like this and making it open-source!

Why notebooks sold in the Netherlands still feature optical disk bays

I suppose all these experiences from 12 years ago, when building GPU mining rigs for Bitcoin, will come in handy when constructing AI training rigs. Do you know what a PCIe riser is? 😃

AI is like Bitcoin. It's an idea that can't be regulated, despite what some delusional people may think. The cat is out of the bag!

I would post a hilarious April Fools' joke today, but my ChatGPT subscription expired.

Argentina’s inflation rate soars past 100%, its worst in over 30 years

Annual rate of 102.5% is denting purchasing power, savings, economic growth and government’s chances in elections next year

Banking system is safu

Meanwhile 1 BTC = 1 BTC

The joy of Python versioning: - some packages check for Python version like this: `assert sys.version >= "3.5"` - guess what happens on Python 3.10 🤦

Ok, nostr lost people I follow list once again 🙄 Time to restart. Who are the best builders in the Bitcoin space? Please leave suggestions as replies. Thanks! 🙏

Okay, it seems the Nostr honeymoon period is over. Assholes from Twitter are here and are spamming the threads with their bullshit. Will be interesting to see how it will work out.

I have just arrived in the land of separated hot and cold water taps and of medieval power sockets for the Advancing Bitcoin conference. See you all tomorrow! 🚀
