This was equal parts hilarious and frustrating, since at that point I had been trying for 8 hours to get any output at all.

Huh? Is this your own LLM or one available generally?

One step away from HAL “I’m sorry, I can’t answer that Dave”.

GPT2 running locally I think the problem was it was missing a base prompt. Have since switched to Microsoft's Phi-4 with much more satisfactory results. Though it does keep running out of memory if I use it too long in one chat.

Woman stops 12 ft gator with .22 pistol! "Florida Woman Stops Alligator Attack Using a small .22 caliber Ruger Pistol."

 

Another good reason to have a concealed weapons permit. This is a story of self-control and marksmanship by a brave, cool-headed woman with a small pistol against a fierce predator. Here's her story in her own words:

"While walking along the edge of a pond just outside my house in the Villages discussing a property settlement with my soon-to-be ex-husband, and other divorce issues, we were surprised by a huge 12-ft alligator which suddenly emerged from the murky water. It began charging us with its large jaws wide open. She must have been protecting her nest because she was extremely aggressive. "

"If I had not had my little Ruger 22 caliber pistol with me, I would not be here today! Just one shot to my estranged husband's knee cap was all it took. The gator got him easily, and I was able to escape by just walking away at a brisk pace. The amount I saved in lawyer's fees was really incredible and his life insurance was also a big bonus!"

In a follow-up to the Duster implosion post on the 'grumpy thread', I can report back that the cause of the catastrophic FTP was the oil filter and housing ejecting itself from the motorcar at speed.

It has since been repaired and there seems to be no serious engine damage. 

Bonus is that it's been undersealed too.

How is that possible?

But good there was no serious damage.

I'm putting it down to witchcraft and black magic. It's rife in this valley.

In all seriousness, I'm not sure, but it's getting driven very gently.

Oh no lol
