Why do you say log rather than just publish and subscribe?
the log stays on kafka for replay until your per log retention settings delete it

Looks like a big pivot on target audience from developers to regular users, at least on the homepage https://ollama.com/ as a product. Before, it was all about the CLI versions of Ollama for devs, now it's not even mentioned. At the bottom of the blog post it says:
> For pure CLI versions of Ollama, standalone downloads are available on Ollama’s GitHub releases page.
Nothing against that, just an observation.
Previously I tested several local LLM apps, and the 2 best ones to me were LM Studio [1] and Msty [2]. Will check this one out for sure.
One missing feature that the ChatGPT desktop app has and I think is a good idea for these local LLM apps is a shortcut to open a new chat anytime (Alt + Space), with a reduced UI. It is great for quick questions.
This makes me really wonder about the relationship between Open WebUI & Ollama

There is also ObjectiveFS that supports FUSE and uses S3 for both data and metadata storage, so there is no need to run any metadata nodes. Using S3 instead of a separate database also allows scaling both data and metadata with the performance of the S3 object store.
OFS was a drop in replacement for EFS and tbh it's insanely good value for the problem space.
If you really were serious about privacy, you wouldn't put yourself at disadvantage with a locked-down six-year out of date card. Tenstorrent Blackhole exists now, btw.
I think it's disingenuous to suggest they're putting themselves at a disadvantage with an RTX 3090, especially in a comparison to an inferior product that isn't even shipping yet.
RTX 3090: 24GB RAM, 936.2GB/s bandwidth
Tenstorrent p150a: 32GB RAM, 512GB/s bandwidth
an extra 8GB of ram isn't worth nearly halving memory bandwidth.

At the beginning of my career, I merely found it funny.
Now I find it relatable.
(don't install a signal handler in Python for SIGSEGV, especially if it's being triggered by C you're calling)

more surprising is there's no way for them to delete it from the flatpak registry

Let's remove Musk from the equation, because you can like or (most probably) hate him, but I own a Tesla and I have the opposite experience. Everything worked out of the box. Just one piece of hardware started to fail (the charger plug making some noise) and they changed it in warranty.
First: has the author tried a tesla before buying one? I'd never buy a car without trying it. Because comparing it to a Clio just because the Clio worked, well, seems a bit off. a Clio is a car, a fully functional Tesla is a gian iPad with wheels. There's a huge difference.
Second: when you buy a car, do you ask yourself, how will I fix it in case anything goes wrong? Buying a car in a country where there's no service is a huge no-no.
Third: No doubt that a car with all these defects _must_ be changed, or fixed immediately at no cost of transportation, or offered a compensation to get it back. I think the owner should _also_ contact a lawyer and try to get a refund. I'd not accept this kind of treatment.
"first gen" Model 3s didn't have an emergency rear door release for when the electrical one failed. they've since added that to more recent generations.
but- a car company that doesn't see the need to have emergency rear door releases has systemic issues. someone, anyone involved in approving that design could have said "no. i will not sign off on this", but they didn't.
it makes me wonder what other corners they cut, and whether those cut corners could kill a driver or passenger- because they're not going to cut corners on anything that would be immediately apparent in daily use: it would be detrimental to sales.
>Passenger safety requires that in commercial airplanes hydraulic actuators be powered by fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. As a downside, such fluids are hygroscopic which means that these tend to accumulate humidity from the environment

it's better to evenly distribute water throughout the fluid, than to have it accumulate in a low point
