Qualcuno vuole una "bibbita" agghiacciata? 😁

Some granite boulders resist weathering but others get etched by the action of waves and winds like the big one here on the New Hampshire shore and others, in the background are chunks of fill that were blasted and transported by truck!

Thin Section Thursday!

Alkali Feldspar Granite. Quartz, and alkali feldspar are the common minerals in it. #thinsectionthursday #granite

More supplies. These were cheaper than the "Basic" ones (Specialist brand, I think), let's try how they fare on rock.

There are supposedly special rock drill bits (these are concrete ones) but they were astronomically priced and nobody had them in stock anyways.

Continuing the GTK on Android saga, here's Jorts (Granite / elementary)

Now onto pushing my patches for it to Pixiewood

My #RAG on sbc isn't going great, I feel let down, it's not about the programming is mostly about the hardware limitations of the SBC - 4 GB #AIPU doesn't seem enough - 16 GB AIPU should be the right amount!

Also there is the llm limitation, I cannot use IBM's #granite because the voyager sdk is not supporting it! So I only have only choise for now, to use llama 3b from over 1year ago! Also I cannot use the embedding model on AIPU and on sbc's cpu works so slow.. I can mitigate this tho...

#IBM's small #LLM #AI series #Granite is grossly underrated. Granite 4.1 has a range of small models ranging from 3B to 30B. Today, I downloaded and tested a Granite 4.1 8B model. It is surprisingly fast and capable, especially in tool use.

AI haters do not understand how LLM works. It is not about the size of the model. It is about the quality of training data and fine-tuning (the real training for an LLM to become "rational" in terms of giving "smart" inference to a user's request).

The Irish Council for Civil Liberties (#ICCL) has released an open source tool designed to reduce LLM hallucinations.

If my 15-year-old PC had a GPU I'd be tempted to give it a try.

🚀 Oh, rejoice! #IBM has graced us with the #Granite 4.1 family: a *gargantuan* collection of models only a corporate overlord could love. Apparently, they are the Swiss Army knife of AI—just what every enterprise needs to add a delightful layer of #complexity to their already Byzantine IT infrastructures. 🙄🔧

😂 Wow, IBM's new #Granite #4.1 is like the #chihuahua of #AI models, #barking at the big dogs and pretending it can hunt like a wolf 🐕‍🦺. Who knew an 8B model could be so #delusional, thinking it can compete with a 32B MoE without leaving a trail of giggles and disbelief? 🤣 Keep dreaming, IBM!
