Please don’t use this unless the purpose is specifically to have a retro effect where you eschew modern fonts for aesthetic purposes. Because for any other purpose this just looks terrible, even for English text. Scripts requiring special shaping won’t be supported well. I don’t think it even supports different shapes for the same CJK character according to the language.

There are better fonts for this too e.g. Fusion Pixel Font for CJK: https://github.com/TakWolf/fusion-pixel-font

(yes the readme is in chinese, use google translate or something)

i think i saw a good pixel font that supported arabic too once but of course i cant find it now..

remember when JLCPCB became popular a few years ago and completely flipped hobby electronics upside down? I don't know how possible it is but it would be really cool if that happens in a few years with semiconductors. it's kind of mad that they've dominated our lives since the 1970s but you can only make them if you're a large company with millions of dollars (or several years, a big garage and lots of equipment as seen here). or tiny tapeout.

Still relevant today. Many problems people throw onto LLMs can be done more efficiently with text completion than begging a model 20x the size (and probably more than 20x the cost) to produce the right structured output. https://www.reddit.com/r/LocalLLaMA/comments/1859qry/is_anyo...

It’s ironic how the West has long championed democracy, demanded freedom of speech, and called for human rights from everyone.

Only to suddenly adopt authoritarian, anti-free speech, anti-human rights, and anti-protest stances the moment free speech began to critique Israel.

It’s truly shameful to see such developments.

Someone has sort of done this:

I doubt a better one would cost $200,000,000.

It's incredible the effort Windows 10/11 users will go to in order to reach a somewhat functional and reliable computing experience via third party modifications, yet Linux is somehow too much effort. Just look at the instructions on that page..

Every techie knows about Linux by now. Not everyone chooses to use Windows because they're foolish or don't know any better

Interesting, I have the opposite impression. I want to like it because it's the biggest model I can run at home, but its punchy style and insistence on heavily structured output scream "tryhard AI." I was really hoping that this model would deviate from what I was seeing in their previous release.
unleaded · a month ago
what do you mean by "heavily structured output"? i find it generates the most natural-sounding output of any of the LLMs—cuts straight to the answer with natural sounding prose (except when sometimes it decides to use chat-gpt style output with its emoji headings for no reason). I've only used it on kimi.com though, wondering what you're seeing.

About
Unleaded fuel is a type of gasoline that does not contain lead compounds as an anti-knocking agent. It is commonly used in modern cars and other vehicles that require gasoline as fuel. The absence of lead in unleaded fuel reduces the risk of health issues related to lead exposure and environmental pollution. Unleaded fuel is typically more expensive than its leaded counterpart due to the refining process required to remove lead compounds.
