  • Onestamente, e son solo un ignorante sul web - per risposte vere dovresti cercare un consulto con un professionista - da quel che racconti non sembra collegato al tuo metodo di studio ma sembra esser pura ansia da prestazione.

    Più che sullo studio in sé dovresti provare a concentrarti su te stesso: trova modi di metterti in gioco in situazioni fuori dalla tua normale zona di comfort. Parla con persone, entra in qualche gruppo nuovo. Se hai possibilità cerca qualcosa che ti metta di fronte a situazioni che normalmente sarebbero difficili - ma non tanto da farti bloccare - come corsi di discorso pubblico o improv.

    Oppure cerca dei gruppi di studio in modo da poterti sentire più sicuro delle tue conoscenze, che sicuramente sono già lì, dietro la nebbia dell’ansia.

    Piccoli passi, autostima ed abitudine.

    E se è il pensiero delle possibili conseguenze di un fallimento a bloccarti la soluzione è semplice ma difficile: vivi nel momento, senza pensare al dopo o ai perché.

    È facile? No. Ma il migliorarsi è una sfida che dura tutta la vita: non bisogna mai darsi per vinti. Mai.


  • This was all theatre where nothing in reality changed, to show how tough and intransigent this admin wants to be: the real problem is that if formally and informally allied nations start to think that the USA would really commit to bullying as a real negotiation tactic, they will start to divest from it and expand their pool of partners to make these tactics less impactful.

    This could be disastrous in the long run, with decades of integration and diplomacy going in smoke. But in the short term there will be a lot of “winning”, as they keep saying. I guess.

    The first Trump term was seen as a short term derailing. The second one has a complete different international impact.

    Goodwill is a real diplomatic form of currency and it is getting burned at a real fast pace.



  • I’ve never used oobabooga but if you use llama.cpp directly you can specify the number of layers that you want to run on the GPU with the -ngl flag, followed by the number.

    So, as an example, a command (on linux) from the directory you have the binary, to run its server would look something like: ./llama-server -m "/path/to/model.gguf" -ngl 10

    Another important flag that could interest you is -c for the context size.

    This will put 10 layers of the model on the GPU, the rest will be on RAM for the CPU.

    I would be surprised if you can’t just connect to the llama.cpp server or just set text-generation-webui to do the same with some setting.

    At worst you can consider using ollama, which is a llama.cpp wrapper.

    But probably you would want to invest the time to understand how to use llama.cpp directly and put a UI in front of it, Sillytavern is a good one for many usecases, OpenWebUI can be another but - in my experience - it tends to have more half baked features and the development jumps around a lot.

    As a more general answer, no, the safetensor format doesn’t directly support quantization, as far as I know

    Their systems currently report that everything’s fine, which - to be fair - could be a misreporting and change at any moment
    Anecdotally all their landing sites load fine for me

    Tackling it from the other side: could it be a problem with your DNS?
    Did you try with another network? Like wifi or mobile data

    EDIT: Formatting

    EDIT: Tried again and now the email service seems to not be loading

    EDIT 2: It is being reported on other sites too, but currently there’s nothing official I could find, not even on their Mastodon or Twitter various accounts

    EDIT 3: On reddit the volunteer mod alex_herrero wrote an hour ago that “The team is aware and [the] status page will be updated shortly”.




  • That’s the bad thing about social media. If no one was doing it before, someone is now!

    Jokes aside it’s possible, but with the current LLMs I don’t think there’s really a need for something like that.

    Malicious actors usually try to spend the least amount of effort possibile for generalized attacks, because you end up having to often restart when found out.

    So they probably just feed an LLM with some examples to get the tone right and prompt it in a way that suits their uses.

    You can generate thousands of posts while Lemmy hasn’t even started to reply to one.

    If you instead want to know if anyone is taking all the comments on lemmy to feed to some model training… Yeah, of course they are. Federation makes it incredibly easy to do.



  • Hangs, reboots or does it turn off? Depending on that it could be a plethora of things.

    Do you get any error prompts? Any red alerts when restarting?

    Did you check that the monitor works steadily on another system/OS?

    Did you try another DE, even on a live usb?

    Is the HDD/SSD healthy?

    Are all the fans working? Is it the thermal protection?

    Is the PSU healthy and or the power connection damaged?

    Does your system have a centralized logging like journalctl or can you reach the single log files to check and add more information?

    It could literally be anything, even aliens.
