  • Hey dear, I should probably change my name here again bc this seems silly to explain… At present my displayed name is using obscure Unicode that apparently may not display correctly if a device does not have a very complete library of Unicode characters like mine. It should display like:

    The Wancho number 4 for the J is the least likely to render correctly as alpha kappa epsilon should render on most devices as these are nominal scientific notation.

    The underlying name is just leet. With j4k3 intended to be simple slang. Anyways, this is a convoluted way of trying to say, my name is simply Jake, not that it matters.

    Like religious text logic but less ambiguity...

    Actually, I had a moment of curiosity about the word choice with fascinate here.

    Etymology
    Borrowed from Latin fascinātus, perfect passive participle of fascinō (“to enchant, bewitch, fascinate”) (see -ate (verb-forming suffix)), from fascinum (“a phallus-shaped amulet worn around the neck in Ancient Rome; witchcraft”) + -ō (verb-forming suffix), itself of obscure origin.

    Verb

    fascinate (third-person singular simple present fascinates, present participle fascinating, simple past and past participle fascinated)

    • To evoke an intense interest or attraction in someone.
      The flickering TV fascinated the cat.
    • To make someone hold motionless; to spellbind.
      We were fascinated by the potter’s skill.
    • To be irresistibly charming or attractive to.
      Her gait fascinates all men.












  • Qwen 2.5 VL and Code. I have a VL doing image captions for LoRA training running now. A 14B is okay for basic code. A quantized 32B 6KL gguf of the same Qwen 2.5 code model runs on 16GB but at a third of the speed of the 14B in bits and bytes 4b. The latter is reasonably fast enough for a couple layers of agentic stuff in emacs with gptel and hits thinking or function calling out of a llama.cpp server better than 50% of the time.

    I still haven’t tried the new 20B out of Open AI yet.
