Still a WIP, but I'm finally making progress on my rewrite of #Chit, the front-end chat interface for #Ollama.

Closing in on feature parity with the original (then I can start adding new features). I'm psyched to finally have chat 'sessions' so I don't have to lose whatever I'm doing just to ask some other thing. (I'd have to duplicate tabs before.)

It maintains state between reloads quite solidly, too.

You can poke at it over here; it'll gets updated whenever I make a push. It's still alpha, and missing some basic features (temperature controls, for instance, a config page, etc), but should work fine.

It uses a default Ollama installed -- you may need to tweak your server to allow access, but that's beyond the scope of this right now.

At some point, when it gets closer to solid, I'll make a quick tutorial video.

I think what bugs me about this is that I've been able to assemble a decent summary system prompt that has, so far at least, not invented anything.

"How do you know", you may ask. Well, I can't say with 100% certainty because after a while I started trusting it.

But for a while I was immensely distrustful of it, and I'd regularly put through it real articles, and content I was familiar with, and look at the results.

But I've been using it for quite a few months now, with Llama 3.1, and it's proven itself quite good with whole raw text dumps of webpages.

(I use it so often that I include it with the handful of default system prompts with #chit (my Ollama front-end).)

Here it is: gist.github.com/Fortyseven/708

Since I started using it regularly, if something sounds out of place or "sounds wrong", I'll go and verify. (And honestly, I'll even fuck up verifying: it'll be technically correct about something, but I'll have misread or overlooked the fact in question.)

So I'd love to know how Apple is fucking this up. Apparently this is not an isolated incident: theverge.com/2024/11/12/242899

I wonder if their prompts have been dumped yet?

A quotation from Austen, Jane:

«
“I certainly have not the talent which some people possess,” said Darcy, “of conversing easily with those I have never seen before. I cannot catch their tone of conversation, or appear interested in their concerns, as I often see done.”
“My fingers,” said Elizabeth, “do not move over this instrument in the masterly manner which I…
