I spent some time with Gemini CLI today. Made great progress on a local project until I ran out of free Gemini Pro 2.5 requests and it switch me to Gemini Flash. Then it was more hassle fixing the errors it cause... Even the Premium plan is only 1500 a day. #Gemini #Google #SoftwareDevelopment

Just a call out that gpt-oss:20b got an update and it now can be shown the error of it's ways. And for some specific tasks it really is a great tool. 30k context and fully loaded into VRAM in 18GB, 87.93 tok/sec, 1.20s to first token in LM Studio - ROCm llama.cpp (Linux) v1.46.0 #ROCm #AMD

We need people to use critical thinking rather than force safety guardrails to be baked into a model. You don’t dull a knife because it might cut you.

And guardrails can make models perform so poorly that they are worthless for intended purpose. Try to point out to gpt-oss:20b that it is wrong about something. In its thinking response you can see its policy preventing it from listening to you. And it is frequently wrong.

ReRelease gpt-oss:20b without the policy that makes impossible to admit its ‘facts’ may be incorrect.

gpt-oss-20b on Ollama inference speed is good but it hallucinates frequently and refuses any correction. Good luck with that.

And how do I know the new GPT-OSS:20B OpenAI model is shit? How about a 20 min conversation where I am unable to convince the model that it is wrong. That my 718 Cayman GT4 is in fact a flat 6 not a flat 4. Hallucinating and arrogant. #GPT-OSS #UnuseableModel

Through Steam quite seamless. There isn’t a game I have come across that doesn’t run well. Radeon 7900 XTX. local inference Ollama runs good. I had just bought a new 2tb ssd and can swap back to win 11 when needed but I haven’t needed or wanted to. I do refer the Arch setup over Ubuntu.

I moved off Windows back in Jan. Custom water loop workstation/gaming rig from Win 11 to Ubuntu 24 LTS and laptop to Arch. Even my work laptop to Mac in Q1. At this point I am gone for good.

Where is the discussions about the longer term implications of the tariffs? I hate him as much as any other sane educated person but the seeming lack of thoughtful discussion about longer term impact is disappointing.

38 F and foggy after 2.6" of rain the past couple days. It is perfect here.

Foggy morning showing our backyard with green ground cover and large Douglas Fir and Western Red Cedar trees. Also a couple Big Leaf Maple that have dropped their leaves for the season.
