pre-IPO drama from sama. need to take this with a boulder of salt.

Take this as anecdotal, but I started taking 1500 mg of creatine HCl daily about a year ago. Since then, I’ve felt sharper and able to perform mentally at a higher level for longer throughout the day.

used to look forward to his articles in Inforworld and PCmag, and his controversial takes therein.

Rest in peace.

nope, never gonna happen. DC treats American AI supremacy as national security, IPO fortunes depend on the "America leads" story and the trump sycophants/toadies/roadies stand to gain millions from the IPO, and everyone thinks Chinese open weights are dumping meant to kill US labs, so Ant and OI will not want to wade into that.

sure, upon the successful launch of porcine aviation

You mean the Bowlini and the Pinini families

Just heartbreaking to see the US in decline across so many key areas including income inequality, social mobility, healthcare affordability, education, infrastructure, public safety, political stability, institutional trust, and basic quality of life.

And yet, the US is the key dream destination where the streets are paved with gold, for lots of immigrants escaping poverty/strive from the 3rd world.

was lucky enough to snag the Olares One from Kickstarter just before this whole AI induced memory chip price gouging started.

specs are Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX (24 Cores, 5.4GHz),96GB of DDR5 5600MHz RAM, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile GPU with 24GB of GDDR7 VRAM, 2TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD.

going to see if I can wring at least 5 tok/s.

wait till anyone remotely mentions apple or apple products. the neckbeards on their thinkpads will come in droves to shit on cupertino's best.

for the first time, I'm rooting for the chinese to break the american monopoly on AI. although I have gemini, anthropic and openai subscriptions, I just opened an OpenRouter account and will be using more chinese open weights going forward.

Yes, the QL was another very clean modern design. Too bad the MicroDrives were an utter disaster and the sales tanked because of that

damn, did not know that. will have to view Alien tonight on Plex to spot this.

yes, I was about to build another gaming PC, and then I remembered the ASML machine costs 20 bajillion. Will wait for the ASML machine to come down in price, to around couple of grand.

There are alternatives. Amazon Leo is currently on a soft launch and will be ramping up over the next 12 months

It's a 997. it had the original OEM double din stereo with the Nav. Porsche offered the PCCM CarPlay upgrade, but decided the Pioneer unit was much better.

Yes, they were stunning. looked like a prop from bladerunner.

Same here. CarPlay is in the top 10 features for my next Car. Even for my older 911 which I bought second hand, the first investment was a Pioneer head unit with CarPlay.

Yes, I had the Apricot Xen in the shop. If I remember correctly, they were not 100% PC compatible, and did not exactly sell well. Neither did the Grids. But both were great conversation starters.

same here. seems all the years of q-tip use is saving me money by not needing to buy expensive Hi-End Audio gear.

used to sell the Apricots back in the days. The PCs from Apricot and Grid stood out in terms of design, from the rest of beige uglies.

moral clarity usually sharpens the moment the last RSU hits the brokerage account

Apollo is a private-credit and alternatives house, and Slok is a long-standing concentration/AI-capex skeptic.

Beautifully written. Om will be missed.

RIP Om. One of truly honest voices in tech journalism. You will be missed.

no. the c64 was a toy. i used to sell them mostly as game machines, when I worked at a PC store as a teen. and yes, I used to also crack and pirate some of the c64 games.

no honor among thieves.

Two turkeys don't make an eagle.

I don't have much confidence in either OpenAi/Sama nor Broadcom, given past history. Again this is just pre-IPO shenanigans.

As credible as the "Datacenter in Space" claim by Elmo, before the SPCX IPO.

I did something similiar on OpenClaw running on a Mac Mini. The script uses Applescript to check Apple Mail for new emails and summarize them, and also add the summary to Sqlite. Not quite smart yet to uncover and track large mail threads, with context.

how are you connecting the 35B model to your mailbox, for email classification?

Running Qwen3-30B-A3B-Instruct-2507-AWQ-4bit on an Olares One with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 Mobile GPU (24GB GDDR7 VRAM) and an Intel Core Ultra 9 275HX processor.

Plenty fast for coding work and for sharing with my OpenClaw setup.

Currently in the process of adding another external GPU (RTX 4090 with pipeline parallelism) via thunderbolt 5 to the Olares One box, for higher quantization, possibly 8-bit, larger context, better concurrency, more kv cache.
