My DGX Spark-alike is currently selling in my country for nearly double what I paid for it too. We live in a silly, silly world.

We've not had cheap GPUs with this much VRAM before, though. Might be an interesting change, though I also doubt it personally.

Nah, it's fine! I just muted the tab, no big deal

Although one of the ones it cannot do is have/address 128GB of video memory, so it depends on what you want to achieve.

It writes in a bunch of annoying too-short sentence fragments, so, yes?

Your definition means that any example I can bring up, you can dismiss as “non serious” as you haven’t provided your criteria.

This is a useless rubric and makes discussing this pointless.

Depends on the model; Step 3.7 Flash is surprisingly happy to chat about Chinese banned topics for example when run locally

I mean we shouldn’t pretend China isn’t run by a 1 party authoritarian state. It is. And it uses that absolute power how and when it pleases.

People absolutely use LLMs to research politically sensitive topics.

I wish they wouldn’t, but people use LLMs as their general search engines now.

As someone from neither the US nor China, neither are altruistic and both have horrible histories, both meddle in my country’s affairs, and neither have my interests at heart.

China’s got plenty of blood on its hands, pretending otherwise is silly. America does, too. It’s quite easy for me to condemn both their governments and trust neither.

Which is basically a fancy calendar and team management system for my Valorant Premier team haha

It’s on my GitHub as operators-premier-manager but note it is not great: it serves its purpose which is to wrangle my team to show up for practice and scrims

Microcontroller and sensor bugs owe me a lot of sleep that I will never get back, to add to your point.

But that’s not what they said?

Don’t sell your cars at a loss then.

They stole from me first. And are spitting in my face and telling me they’ll take my job while they do it. I have negative sympathy for them.

Yes, really. It seems you’re seeing what you want to see.

I’m mostly seeing people disagree with the substance of his argument, though. Your argument through authority is weak.

I mean I can point to a half dozen that I know personally but they’re not famous shrug. This seems like a weird argument to make to me, and besides the overall point the author was attempting to make anyway

Information is information. Why is some information considered different than others in your estimation?

I am so excited for my Round 2. The original Pebble Time Round (20mm w/ brown leather strap) is the single best smartwatch I've ever owned. Can't wait to relive it today haha

I would honestly be sad if it stopped at this point! Definitely part of the fun IMO

If that was completely the whole story, then the extra Zero Retention etc tier enterprise things wouldn’t exist

I also don’t trust them lol

I’m kind of sad it’s not named after it now, that would’ve been very amusing

There are a wild amount of countries where it’s not treated like the opioid that it is, for what it’s worth. Mostly not western ones, though.

The B70 is woeful with respect to software performance today, unfortunately, and your stuck using Intels forks of things and it still doesn’t get the full expected throughput. Such a shame to be honest.

They should be included! But there's a difference between machine translation and technical-writing-using-an-LLM, in my opinion. One has a lot more humanness to it, still.

For what it’s worth, I was talking in response to the original commenter who was talking in past tense, I was merely responding in kind :)

I would argue that SO is basically “done”, though. For better or worse.

I still write code by hand. I use LLMs too. Weird world for sure.

It means I don’t trust the substance. Whenever I try to use for technical writing like this, I catch it getting things wrong constantly.

I’m not saying to write all the code. I’m saying it’s useful to write 5% of it. Then let an Agent stamp out / rewrite the rest

100% agreed. And it leads to far better LLM output and lower token usage, too, I find.

Anything that is interesting. It’s not all just tech here.
