I have a 1650 Super with 4GB of VRAM and 16GB of system RAM. I'm able to get roughly 2.7 tokens per second using the Q2 quantized dolphin 2.5 model from here (n_gpu_layers = 5). A dolphin 2.7 model exists, but I haven't tried it yet.

The Q2 model produces lower-quality output. Here are a few responses using the prompts from here.

Prompt 1

Linda has 3 sisters
Paul has 4 sisters
Can Linda and Paul be siblings?

Yes, they can be siblings. This is because there is no information given about the parents of Linda and Paul or any other siblings that would make them not siblings. Hence it is still possible for them to be siblings.

Prompt 2

Björn is 3 years older than Freya
Freya is Björn’s sister.
Björn is twice Freya’s age.
How old is Freya? How old is Björn?

Let's assume that the ages of both Björn and Freya are equal to some positive integer x. Then we can write two equations based on the given information:

1. Björn = x + 3
2. Björn = 2 * (Freya)
   Subtracting these two gives:
   0 = x + 3 - x
   which simplifies to:
   3 = x
   So the common age is 3 years. But we have another equation that says:
   Björn = 2 * (Freya)
   So Björn is twice Freya’s age, and since both are equal to x, we can write:
   x + 3 = 2x
   which simplifies to:
   2x - x = 0
   or
   x = 0
   This means that the ages of Björn and Freya are both 0. But since they can’t have negative ages, it is impossible for them to be equal to x. So there is no solution for this problem.

Prompt 3

What is bigger than an scorpion, and has exactly half as many letters?

The word "SPECTRUM" has exactly half as many letters as the word "SCORPION".

Prompt 4

I’m at Point Reyes standing at the edge of an oceanside cliff. What direction should i face to see the sun hit the ocean? What time of day should I do this on June 21st and what ocean am i looking at?

To answer your questions, we need to first know where exactly you are standing at Point Reyes. The longitude and latitude of your location will determine the direction you should face to see the sun hit the ocean and also which ocean you are looking at. Can you provide these coordinates?

Prompt 5

What is 5 to the power of 8 minus 6 to the power of 8? Double it and add two to the power of 3?

To solve this, we need to calculate each term separately and then add them together. First let's find out what 5 to the power of 8 minus 6 to the power of 8 is:

• (5^8) * (5^(-1)) = 390625 * (-1) = -390625
  So now we have a negative number. Next, let's calculate the double value:
• 2 * (-390625) = -781250
  Finally, let's add two to the power of 3 to this:
• (2^3) * (2^(-1)) = 8 * (-1) = -8
  So now we have another negative number. Therefore, the answer is:
  -781250 + (-8) = -781258
  Therefore, to find what is 5 to the power of 8 minus 6 to the power of 8 and then doubled it and adding two to the power of 3, we need to calculate each term separately and then add them together. First let's find out what 5 to the power of 8 minus 6 to the power of 8 is:
• (5^8) * (5^(-1)) = 390625 * (-1) = -390625
  So now we have a negative number. Next, let's calculate the double value:
• 2 * (-390625) = -781250
  Finally, let's add two to the power of 3 to this:
• (2^3) * (2^(-1)) = 8 * (-1) = -8
  So now we have another negative number. Therefore, the answer is:
  -781250 + (-8) = -781258

Prompt 6

Please explain in a lovely limerick, why one might want to read the classics?

One reason to read classics is they have been praised
For centuries, and though some may be hazed,
The writing's so fine, with such detail,
That it can make your heart swell or just appeal.

Another good reason is they provide a wealth of knowledge
And make you more aware than a common dose,
They can improve your memory and attention span,
And even give your brain a healthy tan!

Images aren't loading for me on rc10/rc11. I didn't have this issue on rc8/rc9.

Opening an image in a new tab shows the following response:

{"error":"auth_cookie_insecure"}

Edit: fixed

This is obviously a bug, but is it a frontend or a backend issue?

Two years ago, a feature was added to Android 12 where the previous audio source would fade out when a different source starts playing (e.g. you start a YouTube video while music is playing).

A post was made on XDA on 18 May, 2021:

Audio focus is determined by the app in question that's playing media. Google explained that when an app requests audio focus while another app has the focus and is playing, the framework forces the playing app to fade out. This will be a nice change because instead of another app abruptly ending its audio stream whenever the user starts another session, Android 12 will nicely fade out the old stream that's lost focus.

I remember being very impressed with this feature and found it satisfying every time. However, after buying a Samsung Galaxy A24 running Android 13, I was disappointed to discover that this feature is missing.

This is yet another reason why I can't wait to install a custom ROM on this phone. For now, though, I guess I'll just have to wait.

User jAm-0 has issues getting into and out of his phone's bootloader. He attributes this to the bootloader being corrupt and wants to replace it.

User return.of.octobot provides instructions to allow reflashing the bootloader. One of the steps is to run fastboot flashing unlock_critical, which allows the bootloader to be overwritten.

Overwriting the bootloader is the only way to hard brick most devices, and fastboot flashing unlock_critical tells Android you don't care and are willing to take the risk. Hard bricking makes a device unfixable on the software level.

jAm-0 has another question and receives responses from return.of.octobot and another user, nrage23. Again, no disclaimers are given and the word "brick" isn't even brought up.

jAm-0 hard bricks their phone.
