  • CVEs are constantly found in complex software, that’s why security updates are important. If not these, it’d have been other ones a couple of weeks or months later. And government users can’t exactly opt out of security updates, even if they come with feature regressions.

    You also shouldn’t keep using software with known vulnerabilities. You can find a maintained fork of Chromium with continued Manifest V2 support or choose another browser like Firefox.







  • Mostly via terminal, yeah. It’s convenient when you’re used to it - I am.

    Let’s see, my inference speed now is:

    • ~60-65 tok/s for a 8B model in Q_5_K/Q6_K (entirely in VRAM);
    • ~36 tok/s for a 14B model in Q6_K (entirely in VRAM);
    • ~4.5 tok/s for a 35B model in Q5_K_M (16/41 layers in VRAM);
    • ~12.5 tok/s for a 8x7B model in Q4_K_M (18/33 layers in VRAM);
    • ~4.5 tok/s for a 70B model in Q2_K (44/81 layers in VRAM);
    • ~2.5 tok/s for a 70B model in Q3_K_L (28/81 layers in VRAM).

    As of quality, I try to avoid quantisation below Q5 or at least Q4. I also don’t see any point in using Q8/f16/f32 - the difference with Q6 is minimal. Other than that, it really depends on the model - for instance, llama-3 8B is smarter than many older 30B+ models.
