https://gist.github.com/rain-1/8cc12b4b334052a21af8029aa9c4fafc

Summary: The article provides instructions on how to run Llama 13B with a 6GB graphics card. Llama is a text prediction model similar to GPT-2 and GPT-3. The latest change in llama.cpp allows you to pick an arbitrary number of transformer layers to be run on the GPU, which is perfect for low VRAM. To run Llama 13B with a 6GB graphics card, you need to clone llama.cpp from git, install CUDA, and make sure you have CUDA installed. You also need to set up a micromamba environment to install cuda/python PyTorch stuff to run the conversion scripts. The article provides a step-by-step guide on how to perform the conversion process and create a prompt file to run the model. The article also includes timings for the models and an example of the text generated from a prompt.

Summary: The article discusses a built-in tool in macOS Monterey called networkQuality, which helps diagnose network issues and measure network performance. To access the tool, users can open the Terminal app and enter the command "networkQuality -v" to perform default tests and display the results in the Terminal window. The tool also supports Apple's Private Relay feature for added privacy and security. Users can customize the configuration used by the tool by specifying a different Configuration URL using the -C flag. Additionally, users can create their own server for the Network Quality tool.
