When prompting a locally run Llama 3.2 1B Instruct to explain the difference between #Fibonacci tree and a Fibonacci sequence for a 11-year-old in German (as requested by K2), the response started off with "Ze Fibonacci-Treier und ze Fibonacci-Sequenz ..." 😂

#ZeGerman in front of the screen coudn't help but subvocalize (in an approximation of the accent of #Snorri, a character from the great #Maniac series) and LOL a bit.

(The rest of the response was quite unintelligible, but not in a funny way. Definitely worked to discourage K2 from using LLMs much for school-related stuff.)

This headline is such nonsense. It’s like saying: “Kennedy starts a push to help diabetics quit insulin.” This is eugenics. This is telling people they don’t get the healthcare they need because needing it makes them morally weak. The NYT, as usual, is advancing a conservative agenda.

Happy anniversary to Adrien Lyne’s film, ‘Flashdance’. Released in theaters this week in 1983. #flashdance #maniac #manhunt
So yeah, the cat in this film was already missing an eye when it was production. They simply placed a glass eye in the usual area and then did The Thing™️
