I’ve run several LLM’s with Ollama (locally) and I have to say that is was fun but it is not worth it at all. It does get many answers right but it does not even come close to compensate the amount of time spent on generating bad answers and troubleshooting those. Not to mention the amount of energy the computer is using.
In the end I just rather spent my time actually learning the thing I’m supposed to solve or just skim through documentation if I just want the answer.
And then this happens:
$ command -h Invalid argument Usage: command [subcommand] Available Subcommands: help version build etc
Last week my brother had to use my laptop and install Rstudio(for some University project) because his Mac was too old and slow. I was out of home so I had to instruct him through the phone and I could hear his awe while he explained how easy was to install the program. He told me laughing that he could see the pacman and started to cheer for it, this made my day.
The web is so fat nowadays that it makes Windows look slim.
When I first used Linux I loved Gnome for the intuitiveness and simplicity but I did not like the same thing you were saying. I guess it makes a good desktop for tablets lol.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Multiliguists of Lemmy - When speaking Language A and using a word from Language B how do you decide which pronunciation to use?
2·1 month agoThere are times in which pronouncing the wrong way can save you a lot of hassle.
In many poor countries speaking proper English is a dead giveaway that you have money, so you can obviously see why that is undesirable. Even when that is not the case English is so deep in every other language that people use English words as they see fit without knowing the language at all, so one has to pronounce it like they do for them to understand.
Last case is to “avoid correcting someone” because one does not want to make the other person feel bad, or simply want to avoid the “how is it pronounced” situation.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Multiliguists of Lemmy - When speaking Language A and using a word from Language B how do you decide which pronunciation to use?
1·1 month agoUsually like the language of origin unless I’m around people that do not speak fluently or are not looking to learn.
For example, in Chile a lot of people mix English words in their day to day use and pronounce it incorrectly so I pronounce it the same way and go along with it.
I never pronounce words in my own language differently as I think its a missed opportunity on teaching someone a little bit. Which is also a thing I appreciate other people do to me as well.
Then a lot of time passes by when you encounter the song while shuffle mode is on and relive the song.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Doing the same thing over and over again expecting different results is not the definition of insanity. It's the definition of practice.
1·1 month agoThe difference is that when one is practicing something one knows that “the result” can be achieved or improved.

3·1 month agoIt would be nice to share what alternatives are best and what Logitech mice made you had that impression.

Alpaca is the GTK client of Ollama right? I used it for a while to let my family have a go at local LLM’s. It was very nice for them but on my computer it ran significantly slower than what they expected so that’s that.
