translation games, tiny reviews:
Message from Deep Space: humour annoys me, the interface for entering things annoys me, i have pedantic thoughts on how the setup is logically inconsistent at the start, but nonetheless this is well made & isn't made of difficulty cliffs. so i have to recommend it.

Having never voted Labour in my life, I think I'm in as good a position as any, to say that I do believe that Andy Burnham's as honest and straight talking a leader as they've ever had.

His candor in answering questions without prevarication is a breath of fresh air.

Yea, no. Hard pass.

We watched the first half of the 1944 Henry V again last night for St Crispin's and it is an incredible achievement

The production starts in the Globe and Larry's camera wanders on and offstage as the prologue commences and the groundlings clamor for Falstaff and then one by one the artifice falls

Derivative

imitative of the work of another artist, writer, etc. (usually disapproved of for that reason); unoriginal; uninspired

@aichina.news

No training data, no evals, no chat template — and it answers health questions. The MIT tag on a Llama derivative is also dubious. The appeal: 3B GGUF, CPU-only, runs in Ollama on a laptop. Hard to see it beating base Llama 3.2 3B Instruct until someone publishes an eval.
