There's only one problem with Skype now: no one seems to be using it anymore.

I think that's the reason they removed it. The cost of running ads on Skype > the ad revenue.

I tried this code, and it cannot download the model from https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-2b-it-GGUF/resolve/mai... without authentication.

There are 2 things you will need to do.

1. You will need to request access to the model in HuggingFace and accept the license. Head to https://huggingface.co/google/gemma-2-2b-it-GGUF/tree/main and there should be an option to request access. This will be approved almost immediately and you will receive an email saying you've been granted access.

2. Create a User Access Token in HuggingFace to download the model. Visit https://huggingface.co/settings/tokens and create a new token. Then, set the token in your environment by running: `export HF_TOKEN=<your_huggingface_token>`

Hope that helps! Any further issues, feel free to reply to this comment and I'd be happy to help.

This is a self-destructive license: prohibition of use for "warfare" and "weapons manufacturing" basically means that the author wants the world to be conquered by whatever bad guy is stronger. At which point it will be impossible for the license to work because there will be no effective rule of law.

This tech will definitely find some good use here in Ukraine.

(2015), but great!

And be targeted by cyberwarfare from the first-world side.

Interestingly, I'm Ukrainian and my preferred language (as configured in my browser) is of course Ukrainian, but it kept me on the English version.

Some Kingston SSDs allow you to manage over-provisioning (i.e. to choose the capacity-endurance tradeoff) by using a manufacturer-provided software tool.

I don't think that would change how many bits are stored per cell, though? If you, say, set overprovisioning to 80%, then that's going to be 80% of the QLC capacity, and it's going to use the remaining 20% still in QLC mode, it's not going to recognize that it can use SLC with 20% of the SLC overprovisioned.

Yeah, all over provisioning does is gives the controller more spare cells to play with. The cells will still wear at the same rate as if you didn’t over provision, however depending on how the controller is wear leveling it could further improve the life of the drive because each cell is being used less often.

This mod (I only just skimmed the post) provides a longer life not by using the cells less often (or keeping more in reserve), but by extending each cells life by decreasing the tolerance of charge needed to store the state of the cell, but in return decreasing the bits that can be stored in the cell so decreasing the capacity.

Military tech used to be something to frown upon, and now it's a noble thing again, almost on the same category as charity. Working harder for less to save other people's lives and freedom. At least this is how we see it from inside Ukraine now.
