P100 + Gemma not working properly?

What version of llama.cpp are you using (exactly), what command are you using to run the model (exactly), and which version of Gemma are you trying to run (exactly)?

There are open issues on llama.cpp where people have gotten similar <unused49> spam under various circumstances, but the cause is not clear -- e.g. https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/issues/26088 -- if this can be consistently reproduced, you may want to let them.

Similarly, people mentioned it on some of unsloth's quants a few months back: https://huggingface.co/unsloth/gemma-4-26B-A4B-it-GGUF/discussions/2

As far as general workaround advice: try Vulkan instead of CUDA (or vice versa), try a different version of llama.cpp (especially if you're running either a bleeding edge version or a very old version), and try a different version of the model.

I couldn't see the cat in the picture at first and was like "There's no way you're fitting that dog in that carrier..." 😅️

How do i read a .gif comment?

exiftool can read them. I'd expect other tools that show image metadata would likely be able to read it as well, but I'm not sure about examples off the top of my head.

Testing a few GIFs I have on hand, a few have comments about which tool made the file and that's about it.

How do I turn fresh tomatoes into pasta sauce?

I usually make quick sauces with my pasta and use whole canned peeled tomatoes. To alter for fresh, I'd score the tomatoes with a knife, then blanch and peel the skin off as the first step.

My default tomato-based sauce is:

  • olive oil
  • a few whole tomatoes (peeled) -- maybe about ~3 decently sized ones?
  • garlic (either fresh minced or garlic powder)
  • dried basil
  • salt
  • 1/4 tsp or so of capers
  • a few kalamata olives
  • pinch of MSG
  • pinch of cayenne pepper

When using fresh garlic, I add it to the pan first -- with garlic powder I add it with the other seasonings. I basically just combine everything, break up the tomatoes with a spatula, and let it cook down on medium heat (stirring occasionally) while I boil my spaghetti -- then finish the spaghetti in the sauce.

I usually make this just for myself and eyeball the ingredients -- so unfortunately, I don't have exact measurements for most of it.

This is basically a variant of spaghetti puttanesca without anchovies -- feel free to add those instead of (or in addition to) the MSG if you'd prefer.

Not good enough for me knowing there are Thomas Midgley Juniors out there:

On October 30, 1924, Midgley participated in a press conference to demonstrate the apparent safety of TEL, in which he poured TEL over his hands, placed a bottle of the chemical under his nose, and inhaled its vapor for sixty seconds, declaring that he could do this every day without succumbing to any problems. [...] Midgley later took a leave of absence from work after being diagnosed with lead poisoning.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.

He was the jackass who invented both leaded gasoline and CFCs and inflicted them on the world.

Japanese game developers face ridiculously high font license fees following US acquisition of major domestic provider. Live-service games to take the biggest blow

It’s also worth noting that in the case of games in Japanese, it’s not so easy for developers to find alternatives. While games using English can rely on system UI fonts, cheap commercial fonts or open-source options, the sheer number of characters used in Japanese means high-quality fonts are extremely difficult and expensive to make, so few affordable alternatives are available.

There's already a decent selection of high quality, freely available Japanese fonts here: https://fonts.google.com/?lang=ja_Jpan

Ghost of Lemm.ee?

Looking back through your history, that's a post by a user local to your instance. You can see it because you're on the same instance.

If I understand how federation works correctly, posts don't go directly to the instance a community is on when they are made. They are created locally on your own instance, and then federate out if/when they can. Since you're both on the same instance, you can see the post and interact with it, but the post and your comments are (presumably) stuck in a queue trying to federate to the now defunct instance. Since lemm.ee is gone, it can't federate out, so other people don't see the post/comment on their instance.

I think that's what's going on.
