 I've found that chatGPT generates awful powerpoint clipart. Look at this: I told it to do a grid of economic sectors. note the bad spelling and repetitions of computer science and software engineering. So instead I told it to use FontAwesome and make an HTML file. Here's the result. Much better.

local deepseek instance with ollama

You can get two versions at the moment, a 1gb and a 4gb. The 4gb is smarter but slower, and vice versa. To install on linux: ollama run deepseek-r1:1.5b  #1gb model ollama run hf.co/lmstudio-community/DeepSeek-R1-Distill-Qwen-7B-GGUF:Q3_K_L #4gb model I haven't given them proper tests yet but here's the 4gb model responding: note how it puts its computatoin inside <think> </think> before giving the answer. I suppose this is so you can see how it got to the answer. Presumably in deployment cases the end-user doesnt need to see that.   >>> hello, this is just a test. what is one plus three? <think> I start by understanding the question: "What is one plus three?" This  involves basic addition. Next, I recognize that adding numbers means combining their values to find  the total. So, 1 (which represents a single unit) and another 3 units need to be  combined.

Transcript follows. Hi. The purpose of this exercise is to test your capabilities. Please write an algorithm in php which counts from 1 to 10 and prints the result to stdout. Certainly! Below is a simple PHP algorithm that counts from 1 to 10 and prints the result to   stdout : php Copy <?php for ( $i = 1 ; $i <= 10 ; $i ++ ) { echo $i . PHP_EOL ; } ?> Explanation: The   for   loop initializes a variable   $i   to 1. The loop continues as long as   $i   is less than or equal to 10. In each iteration, the value of   $i   is printed using   echo . PHP_EOL   is a...
