The survey seems very AI. Anyway, I prefer the bird ones, though really they should just pick generic symbols again. The bridges and buildings worked just fine for this.

Series D reminds me of 90’s guilders, though, so I liked that one.

It still is. Really useful for historical research as it contains books from the entire era of printing (so starting in the 15th century), in lots of languages, and has (though rudimentary) OCR, so you can search through texts. I used it for my thesis in university to find mentions of gothic script, as I wanted to study attitudes to this script in Dutch language works through time.

However, my thesis supervisor also mentioned to me that Google has a bad reputation in the heritage library/archival world because the scanning is done by low wage workers that have to work as quick as possible. If I remember correctly, a major Dutch library stopped lending their works to Google because of this, and they’ve made their own portal for scanned works.

Not quite so drastic as what I’ve read about these AI companies, though; pretty much just using books as raw materials. Simply criminal…

Isn’t this just advertising? My newspaper is also sending out push messages over this - despite being critical in the article, it seems like they are lending themselves to OpenAI’s marketing.

In the Netherlands there were 63 thousand aircos in houses ten years ago, last year it was 1,7 million. In total there are 2,2 million aircos in buildings - ten times more than ten years ago.

You could call this a revolution, I think.

What do the Greenlanders care about the Epstein files?

37° forecast for Wednesday… Near the coast in the Netherlands…

I’m shaving the goat

At least he can’t be harassed by German politicians and extremists anymore.

I couldn’t get it to install… Something about ldconfig not being in the path.

I’ll try pip later, then…

EDIT: never mind, this is a barebones version (‘lmster’) anyway.

But going back to version 0.3.39-2 (which I found here) works perfectly, so great!

EDIT AGAIN: not quite perfectly. It wouldn’t start Gemma 4 giving an error about its architecture. Seems like it’s too new a model? I’m now trying 0.4.6-1 and this version does run Gemma 4.

You mean the Debian installer? Seems like a bad idea on OpenSUSE.

EDIT: looking in the bug reports on Github, I’ve found a very recent bug report identical to what I’ve described, so it doesn’t seem to be isolated at least.

It detects my hardware at least, but for whatever reason the Hub is empty and I can’t download the default Jan model… But it works when I import the models manually.

Thanks for the tips. How do I go about doing this? What I’ve tried is run LM Studio from the console with --no-sandbox. No idea if that has something to do with what you’re referring to.

I’ve also tried running it with sudo, which gives this error message:

Only in a very specific, and specifically German language, context.

Using humans like robots, what a wonderful idea!
