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!

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.

There are so many amazing open-source projects to contribute to. It's unfortunate that a day only has 24 hours, and I also need to sleep! 😭

If you still have any coins at #Binance, now is an excellent time to withdraw them all and move them to self-custody!

Each time I see a women's panel at a conference, I can't help but ponder why these ladies are confined to their own table, instead of eating with the "grown-ups." How about we extend more invitations to women for the main panels, rather than segregating them into their own?

Argentina 🇦🇷 over 100% inflation

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 🤦

Blast from the past: at @SatoshiLabs years ago, whenever there was a critical task such as a firmware or web wallet release, the person responsible would wear a plush octopus on their head. This was a sign for everyone to know that the person was focusing and should not be interrupted at any cost! 😅
