Why not fork it like Microsoft did with Edge?

Microsoft Edge is relying on Chromium being contiously developed by Google, isn't it? Not a hard fork that no longer receives updates from upstream.

Cause the value is in the users. The actual browser is close to worthless.

Chrome/Chromium's value is in the development momentum. You can pile up features, manipulate the entire web, and make it impossible to compete for others. This is what they're trying to buy. A fork isn't enough - there's a huge difference between a technical fork and a meaningful fork.

That's a strength of Chrome for Google. OpenAI would not enjoy the same benefits as they don't control the whole vertical. They want the 4 billion strong spyware botnet that is Chrome.

You have to control a meaningful part of the web (like the Google ecosystem) for that to work.

If you have a switch with port mirroring you can send the traffic to another device and monitor using something like Suricata.

The first 2 points do point to Ollama neglecting the community and not contributing to upstream. For the lack of Jinja templates I would have thought that's just from it being written in Go and using the Go templating engine instead.

When there's a will, there's a way.

It's a bit silly but I rolled out my own(*) "no-deps" C++ Jinja template library (https://github.com/google/minja) just to add tool call support to llama.cpp (https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp/pull/9639).

(*): I mean, technically my employer's :-D*

Great video! Every one in the series building the mechanism has been very interesting. It's fascinating how such simple tools produce the complexity in the mechanism. With modern lathes and metal working tools it's very easy to forget how accessible working with metal in high precision can be. Once you see the tooling being created in front of you it makes it clear how ancient civilizations could have had access to this precision.

It's mentioned in the abstract that similar findings were noted in humans as well.

"Humans experiencing long-COVID with cognitive symptoms (48 subjects) similarly demonstrate elevated CCL11 levels compared to those with long-COVID who lack cognitive symptoms (15 subjects)."

It's also marked as not self hostable despite the comment above mentioning it running on Raspberry Pis.

Good lighting makes a big difference as well, even low quality webcams on laptops look much better if your face is well lit.

Ring lights help in this area as well and are cheap enough nowadays.

Thanks to ring lights and Youtube, I'm pretty sure my kids are going to grow up thinking there's some variety of eye-color that features a bright white ring in the center of the pupil.

I HATE ring lights. Makes everybody look like they're being abducted by a UFO or something. Or they're robots. They need some diffusion or something.

Or a desk lamp pointed at the wall behind your laptop if you’re at a desk.

Several times I've opened a white page full screen on my monitor while doing an interview via Phone or Laptop. That plus the over head light being on but not being in the view helped quite a bit.

ExpressLRS is looking very promising. Hopefully it will do the same thing with radio protocols as OpenTX has done with the radio transmitter market; lowering costs for software development and allowing cheaper hardware with more feature.

They only allowed regional carriers with existing spectrum to use others networks. It doesn't allow any other company to use the large carriers networks which limits the ability to start a MVNO carrier as you need existing spectrum licenses in order to piggyback on others networks.

Yes, exactly. This ruling doesn't change much. All it provides is that regional carriers will now be able to offer services outside of their service area with mandated roaming wholesale tariffs instead of private commercial agreements. This might allow for players like Freedom or Videotron to start offering services in more areas, perhaps leading to a decrease in prices where only the Big 3 were previously available, but I do not expect any crazy disruption to retail pricing, as the numbers of players competing in the market will still be limited.

There won't be a Mint Mobile or a Google Fi in Canada for a long time, unless these players decide to partner with a Canadian regional carrier. And even then, I don't know if this would be legally possible, as majority foreign ownership of telecommunication providers is not allowed in Canada. Once again, the Canadian telcos have managed to keep their oligopoly untouched.

CFO of Mint here.

I’ve been tracking this, of course, and just glad to hear Mint mentioned :)

Too bad Rogers bought Freedom, Canadians are back to the three-player-cartel.

Just like T-Mobile buying Sprint. Ugh.

I was just looking at this new Terraform provider yesterday how timely. Nice to see the quickstart guide this will be helpful for managing the buckets and application keys.

Yev from Backblaze here -> That's great! Glad the quick-start makes it simple.
