  • I am honestly guessing but as long there’s mac compatibility on those (older) games I’d expect them to run just fine. MacOS is probably my favorite OS from an overall coherency standpoint, power with the command line, aesthetics and usability. You’re just not going to find a lot of overlap between people who use linux and the traditional mac crowd (except when it comes to software development weirdly, which is where I sit), but it is criminally underdiscussed around here every time Windows enshittifies. (BTW, not a fanboy, running multiple Windows, Linux and MacOS systems at home)





  • Thanks for the link! I actually use SD a lot practically so it’s been taking up like 95% of my attention in the AI space. I have LM Studio on my Mac and it blazes through responses with the 7b model and tends to meet most of my non-coding needs.

    Can you explain what you mean here?

    Personally I prefer avoiding fine tuned models wherever possible and just working more on crafting longer constrained contexts for pretrained models with a pre- or post-processing layer to format requests and results in acceptable ways if needed (latency permitting, but things like Groq are fast enough this isn’t much of an issue).

    Are you saying better initial prompting on a raw pre-trained model?





  • If I ask an LLM something like “is there a git project that does <something I’d describe in natural language but not keywords>” or is there a Windows program that does X, it may make up the answers, but at least I can verify that via a search engine. If I try to Google that (that’s theoretical, I don’t use Google), I’m going to end up on a page full of ads that is filled with trap links that lead to malware, top 10 lists with the same repeated content and all the other shit the internet has become. I kind of don’t mind the hallucinations relative to the ads. What a time to be alive though.
