I had 2x MMR. Just got a 3rd shot anyway, just in case.

EDIT: For more context, the Costco pharmacist told me (even with 2 shots) its immunity does wane over time. She said I’d probably be fine skipping in my age bracket, but I’m in Texas and I don’t like ‘probably.’

Completely depends on your laptop hardware, but generally:

• TabbyAPI (exllamav2/exllamav3)
• ik_llama.cpp, and its openai server
• kobold.cpp (or kobold.cpp rocm, or croco.cpp, depends)
• An MLX host with one of the new distillation quantizations
• Text-gen-web-ui (slow, but supports a lot of samplers and some exotic quantizations)
• SGLang (extremely fast for parallel calls if thats what you want).
• Aphrodite Engine (lots of samplers, and fast at the expense of some VRAM usage).

I use text-gen-web-ui at the moment only because TabbyAPI is a little broken with exllamav3 (which is utterly awesome for Qwen3), otherwise I’d almost always stick to TabbyAPI.

Tell me (vaguely) what your system has, and I can be more specific.

True, though there’s a big output difference between the 7B distil (or even 32B/70B) and the full model.

And Microsoft does host R1 already, heh. Again, this headline is a big nothingburger.

Also (random aside here), you should consider switching from ollama. They’re making some FOSS unfriendly moves, and depending on your hardware, better backends could host 14B models at longer context, and similar or better speeds.

One can get Deepseek R1 from many providers (including US hosts, or various other nationalities). Microsoft even has their own anti-CCP finetune, MIT licensed: https://huggingface.co/microsoft/MAI-DS-R1

…Banning the app is reasonable, and a tiny inconvenience for anyone who needs DS.

In other words, this is a big nothingburger because V3/R1 are open models. The story would be different if it was (say) an API-only model like Qwen Max or GPT4o, where ultimately one is beholden to the trainer’s servers.

Tim Waltz does not have eugenics-adjacent beliefs.

Also, I think you may have misinterpreted what “red herring” means.

Nah its much simpler label than that.

“Troll”

The topic doesn’t matter, it more about fishing for provocation. In this case I couldn’t help myself, but… you know, don’t feed the trolls.

As a serious answer, Musk is into modern variants of eugenics and some scary techno-authoritarian stuff he shares with Peter Theil and other Silicon Valley royalty.

Maybe he’s a techno-neonazi? That’s just semantics.

His alleged Nazi salute is indeed kind of a red herring. But “Nazi” is an reasonable enough descriptor for his beliefs.

Narrowly.

Are you guys not horrified of what’s happening south? If you interpret this as a win and go on, your country is going to be mega conservative in like a decade.

No, this is an existential crisis, and you need to shut off the propaganda machines before it’s too late.
