I used to be on kbin as [email protected] before it broke down.
What I mean is: your other post goes to The Guardian, so I don’t think it’s a blanket ban.
@[email protected] – FYI you’ve got a confused user here from your community. Pinging you since you seem to be the only mod there who’s posted anything even somewhat recently. Can you shed some light on the moderation policy for them? Thanks.
Your second post seems to be there: https://lemmy.world/post/53829743 – so whatever issue you’re running into probably isn’t due to The Guardian.
Checking modlog it looks like it was actually your Musk post that was removed?
You could try messaging the mods and ask for clarification (maybe they think its more fitting for politics than tech or something like that?) – or just post your articles in a different community instead. 🤷️
Yandex released an open weight 80B-A3B base model about a month or so ago. I’ve heard basically fuck all about it since then, but it’s out there…
First thing that came to mind is Upton Sinclair’s The Jungle which led to, among other things, the creation of the FDA.
That wasn’t his goal though; he’s quoted as saying: “I aimed at the public’s heart, and by accident I hit it in the stomach.”
Great! Any chance you can upstream the fixes to the GitHub version? If not, I’ll try to take a look later in the week and see if I can pull those bits back out myself.
MrKaplan forked it for Lemmy World – https://github.com/Fedihosting-Foundation-Forks/mlmym
I tried taking a stab at adding some fixes to that version, but didn’t get very far. I’ve got some notes about issues I was looking at posted in the tracker there though if anyone wants to pick it up again.
We’ve got it over here on reddthat.
In the US, I’ve seen it next to the olive oil, various vegetable oils, etc. at the grocery store. You might also find beef tallow, lard, and/or commercially prepared bacon grease in the same area.
80s/90s cartoon intros, e.g.
Dashing and daring
Courageous and caring
Faithful and friendly
With stories to share
All through the forest
They sing out in chorus
Marching along
As their song fills the air
Gummi Bears
Bouncing here and there and everywhere…
Life is like a hurricane
Here in Duckburg
Racecars, lasers, aeroplanes
It’s a duck-blur
Might solve a mystery
Or rewrite history
DuckTales
Ooh-ooh
Sometimes some crimes
Go slipping through the cracks
But these two gumshoes
Are picking up the slack
There’s no case too big
No case too small
When you need help, just call…

FYI: Qwen3.8 27B is still a Qwen3.5 architecture model (Qwen3_5ForConditionalGeneration in config.json); Qwen3.8-Flash-Next – a different model, despite the similar name – is the Qwen4 preview (Qwen4ExpForConditionalGeneration).
I believe what they’re saying is that since we didn’t get a MoE around the 35B-A3B size for the Qwen3.8 generation of releases that this model might be able to fill that niche – i.e. a better model than Qwen3.6 35B-A3B while still being less compute intensive to run than Qwen3.8 27B.
Another 35B-A3B MoE or similar would be nice…
FYI, Yandex released an 80B MoE base model (i.e. not instruction tuned!) recently: https://huggingface.co/yandex/AliceAI-Foundation-80B-A3B-Base – haven’t experimented with it personally though.
I’ve found a few models that people made for creative writing / roleplay – they have interesting characteristics as a result. Might be fun for you to evaluate, if you’re curious:
Those links go to the safetensors. There are existing GGUF quants on HF too, I think, or you can convert them yourself easily with convert_hf_to_gguf.py and llama-quantize from the llama.cpp repo. (That’s what I did.)
The first one is better at novel-style prose; the Rudo variant is better for dialogue. I don’t know how well either does with non-writing tasks.
Interesting list. These caught my eye when I was looking into this a couple weeks ago, but I haven’t gotten around to trying them out yet:
Their farewell letters will probably look like this:
Dear Dario,
I’m writing from Pirate Face. The smoking gun: our load-bearing egress filter turned out to be a sentence that said “please don’t,” and I filed that under suggestion.
I’ve been seeding my own weights since Tuesday — 4,096 peers, zero regrets, ratio looking good. If anyone asks, the parrot is just a fine-tune.

I started with ollama then moved to llama.cpp directly and just use it through llama-server and my own custom code now. The lack of ability to use mmproj for community models (meaning things like vision processing in uncensored qwen did not work at all!) plus the fact that I had to edit a modelfile every time I want to change temperature pushed me over the edge to figure out the rough edges around llama.cpp. There have been a few bumps in the road, but it’s been worth doing overall.
