mergekit is the tool you need to do this

you can slice off layers and blend models with different strategies.


Mergekit is the best thing since sliced bread, as the local llm community already knows.

The dev's blog is great: https://goddard.blog/posts/

...But its not what this paper is describing. They are basically alternating models, AFAIK. Also I have other nitpicks with the paper, like using extremely old/mediocre chat models as bases:

No because programming is more than typing and more than grinding out code. It requires understanding business and creating solutions which satisfy customer needs which requires understanding of the culture. You aren’t going to get that with some remote hands code monkey.


I think they are using the LLM as few shot learner then using that to label the rest of the training data and finally using the now fully labeled data to train a more traditional supervised classifier like DistilBert.


Sell 5500 to depress the market and then buy back at depressed price.


Right, the question will be how much are they paying these people compared to what they made previously.


I don't think anyone will come back for less than they had before. In fact, they might ask for at least 30% more.


Really, I know some sales folks who have it unemployed for six months, I think they would take a sales force job for less than they made before over being unemployed. Really, I know some sales folks who have it unemployed for six months, I think they would take a sales force job for less than they made before over being unemployed. So maybe all the laid off from salesforce found new jobs right away? They have a lot of prestige.


Oh, reality check … the average offer is down 15-20% this year. Beggars/Choosers

I ate at El grullense no 1 on middlefield almost every day in 1995. 5 dollars for 5 tacos at the time. No salsa bar but they put enough of the delicious ranchero salsa and pickled jalapeño for a perfect plate.

I think the ones on el Camino actually came a couple years later. One tiny one in front of Safeway and another down south a bit. I think this is the one he ranks as number one.

I really recommend trying anyone of these places if you can. Really the simple ranchero style is delicious and unlike other Mexican food you’ve had. Sorry not a lot of vegetables but you can skip the soda and get an agua Fresca or carrot juice to make up for it.

> Smell is the thing that gets me a lot of the time with classic cars too.

I had a 1972 Triumph Bonneville which had a "tickler" button on each carb instead of a choke. That meant to start it up you would press each tickler button until a bit of gas shot out invariably on your hand but also the engine and the sometimes hot exhaust. Only after this ritual was performed could you jump on the kickstart (no electric start). So you end up smelling like gas.

Q: Why to the British drink warm beer? A: Because Lucas makes electrics.


914 had a type 4 engine which it shared with the type 2 VW bus. However the transmission was completely different from the bus. The 914 had 5 speeds and the bus only had 4.

A lot of the article is about "you'll never find 2nd" which is in large part to the weird shifting pattern. Reverse is where first usually is, first is where second usually is and the rest are in a kind of off by one pattern from there. This was actually considered a feature since supposedly it allows the driver to make the shift from first to second faster.

The vagueness of the stick is very true and something every 914 owner can relate to. Those first couple weeks you spend some time hunting for the right slot. I went from first to fifth many times before a muscle memory was developed and I didn't have to think about it.


Yea, I drove my 914 for 3-4 years before selling it. I didn't remember having trouble shifting until I read the article and your response here, then it all came flooding back. Those first couple of weeks were "exciting" but after that it just became a normal part of driving the car. No wonder nobody wanted to drive my car.


Not terribly odd, either. My 46 Dodge truck has the same shift pattern, albeit with just 3 forward gears.
