@AlexReibman I don’t think ollama supports MLX yet. I changed to LM Studio on my M2 and had better success.

Just installed gpt-oss:20b on my M1 Macbook Pro and it took 21 minutes to produce a response

@akoudadphysique Do you rec omens any specific rice cookers?

I'll get straight to the point. We trained 2 new models. Like BERT, but modern. ModernBERT. Not some hypey GenAI thing, but a proper workhorse model, for retrieval, classification, etc. Real practical stuff. It's much faster, more accurate, longer context, and more useful. 🧵

@jeremyphoward M3 14”? Mind sharing your build spec?

Finally I seem to have found my dream laptop. What I’ve always most wanted is something that I can use outside in the sun. With the new MacBook Pro with the optional nano texture display combined with the “Brightentosh” extension, I finally have that!

@santiviquez @rasbt Interested

I’m thinking about organizing a study group to go @rasbt's latest book, Build a Large Language Model from Scratch. The idea is to read a chapter beforehand and then meet each week on Zoom to discuss, compare notes, and learn from each other. I think we can cover it in 6 weeks!

@myQConnect I’m running into this same problem. My wife’s phone raises the door my just flashes the word open but doesn’t open our door. Help?

@CalDigitSupport FYI, your website appears to be down.

@breezeline any outages in CLE Ohio (east side) area at this time? My system dropped offline around ‘noon ET.

Thanks to everyone who attended my talk on "Gathering Insights from Audio Data" at #VOICE22 Here's a link to the slides that I presented: drive.google.com/file/d/1qmeTfH… Please reach out if with any questions. Thanks!

@leonc Congrats on another lap around the sun 😀

My little office buddy is 14 today! How it started, and how it’s going…,

@leonc CLE? Also good water availability…

I want to move but thinking about water availability.

@darnold0714 Nice! Which program are you in?

This is the textbook for one of my fall classes. So far, the fact that it looks at the language and the statistics has me intrigued.

@jeremydmiller Lucidchart

For "real" architects, what do you like for making better looking diagrams? I'm 100% draw.io or Mermaid myself because I don't have much patience for this kind of thing, but the diagrams always look washed out in presentations.

@BricksOBrian My 9 yo is a big fan. On behalf of him and I both, thank you for what you do and for being a good role model for kids like my son.

I'm in a very unique spot, and Ashely's thread tackles it spot on. Will I bring up the hard issues during Super Mario videos? Never. Will I address the parents who follow me on social media? Absolutely.

@gjmount I did this on AWS by hand rolling an EC2 instance. I’m sure that’s possible on a server in azure. Could also use Azure Notebooks.

I want to set up a small JupyterHub that I could use for workshops where 10-30 people are on there at once. Any suggestions or resources? I'd prefer to use Azure because the rest of my apps are on Microsoft.

@jeffblankenburg Marblehead?

Lighthouses are cool.
