The gaming example is a real turn-off, it feels like answering an interview question about your weaknesses with something like ‘I’m too much of a perfectionist’ or ‘I never give up.’

Could have made a stronger, even inspiring post with a better (more honest and daring) example.

Yeah I run got oss 20b. I have DeepSeek-r1:14b-qwen, but it doesn’t work well with what I need it for. But I probably haven’t set it up optimally. Any advice how to get the most out of it?

you'll probably get more bang for buck with MOE or fp4 models, but other than that I've got little advice save for using some good search MCP tools like perplexity, or brave search to add factuality to the model (you'll need to alter the system prompt so the model is more inclined to make tool calls)

You have credible eastern sources to point us to?

no, but I'm Western. I'm actively looking to disconfirm my bias and it would be a great service if you managed to find some.

Gotcha, thx!

Still early stage, and any feedback will be appreciated! The goal is to extract from newsletters the most important and most recommended stories. Kinda like the Michelin Guide, but for content

Well said. I enjoyed reading your comment.

Well, why won't we begin with yours? ;-)
