Yeah. 100x This. The model is just a bunch of weight data. The runtimes that run the inference are separate.

Runtimes like Ollama are open source (so we can see the code) and we can watch the network traffic.

Running locally is definitely private.

Be there or … be somewhere else. In fact, by the magic of the internet: be there AND be somewhere else.

This is so cool - this study used Chinese poetry to reconstruct 1400 years of range change for the Yangtze finless porpoise, and showed that most of the range loss happened in the last century

Those who know me know I don't really do Christmas as such, but just to add a little bit to the day here's a festive Robin doing his thing.
Hope everyone has a good one, and remember there's no wrong way to do Christmas - just stay safe and be yourself!

Physics 😃 Photons have some probability of interacting with matter, and we know the density of the Sun, so we know how far on average a photon travels in between interactions. Turns out it's not very far in the Sun, and every interaction changes its direction, so it can be a very long random walk.

I have been lurking for a week or two here whilst gazillions of you have been following me. The downside to the year ending is that there is infinite work to be done before the end of the year and only a finite amount of time in which to finish it.

A YEAR OF SPACE FACTS: DAY 1/365

The photons we receive from the Sun take a little over 8 minutes to reach us from the surface of the Sun. But they are created deep in the core of the Sun, and it takes them 100,000s of years to get from the core to the surface!

In a paper published today in Nature, researchers at Google Quantum AI crossed a significant threshold in quantum error correction, moving quantum computers one step closer to practical applications. @benbenbrubaker.bsky.social reports: www.quantamagazine.org/quantum-comp...
Quantum Computers Cross Critical Error Threshold | Quanta Magazine
In a first, researchers have shown that adding more “qubits” to a quantum computer can make it more resilient. It’s an essential step on the long road to practical applications.

Pink crompouce. A croissant tompouce combo. Tompouce is a millefeuille with a Dutch twist.

It was amazing … until it wasn’t.
