Chance is you are not breathing in your sleep. You have Apnea or UARS and are slowly suffocating. Easy tells: you look like shit in the morning and it takes hours for you to normalize, you sometimes wake up all sweaty, you tend to open window ASAP in the morning "to get rid of the stuffy air", you are confused and/or have headache in the morning.

If you want to make sure, get a sleep study done.

Why do you think you are avoiding the bed as if you were afraid of dying in there. Exactly! You literally are.

DeepSeek V4 Flash on default (high) reasoning had zero formatting failures, just genuine losses. Total score:

| DeepSeek V4 Flash | 97/100 | 41/50 | 41/50 | 92W / 102T / 6L |

Benchmark costed me just under $1.

I think may be the government. The population will have to pay taxes for their maintenance. But it will be vastly less.

Governments are no longer allowed to print money. Do you think they will be allowed to build unlimited supply of robots? You are funny.

All the robot factories will belong to rich and we will have to _beg_ to have some measly allocation _while_ we feed the police that prevents us from just taking them.

And politicians will mostly just say this is _inevitable_ for some reason or other.

Money is an example. Really, what is money? A piece of paper? Some metal? Some number on a computer? Could you put your finger on what money really is, especially in the modern world?

Debt owed to central bank. Enforced by State via taxation and confiscation of property if you do not pay up. People seek it because they need to pay the said taxes and/or believe other people will seek it to pay theirs, including in a foreign territory. Loses value when central bank/State is unable to impose taxation and/or has not much useful work to extract from its subjects.

Recently western States have been captured by socialists, which prompted a reaction of the rich and powerful that eventually made the States unable to issue money and forced them to beg for the very thing they enable on the door fronts of the capitalists, making democracy a second-class economical citizen.

There’s no skill file that contains the tacit knowledge of a person who has reconciled a thousand payrolls.

That person has zero skill in actually making tight automation that doesn't just fall over. And I have yet to see an AI agent that tells them "look, your requirements are contradictory, given this and that, these two cannot coexist".

Those little sycophants will just go and try to please the domain expert and placate him in all ways possible. Bend backwards rather then forcing them to reassess their assumptions.

This is a terrible benchmark. It literally tests the models on their ability to track shifting line numbers. If they cannot keep up, no amount of abstract reasoning can redeem them.

Foraging was so good we only had to work like 2h a day. We had to start farming simply because the population growth from foraging was exponential and we have ran out of easy-to-forage ecosystems.

We've also ran out of freedom at that point. We used to simply walk away from bullies, but that was no longer possible, with the farm and all.

At some point bullies stopped charging for racket. They stole the land and told us we are now working under them, for them.

We always hold one at $WORK at the end of the year. I am not a fan of racing nor CS (prefer UT) so I went and made a retrogaming corner last year.

The year before that the Among Us was the highlight. I landed on imposter so many times they started ejecting me habitually. :-D

I think this year I'll finally play some AoE2 with my wife. We're going to Wololo the shit out of my colleagues. Well, mostly her. I'll just send her some tribute I guess.

Not OP, but I routinely load 150k tokens into context. A full sub-package to work on, select other files in the monorepo, e.g. front-end visualization and back-end data loader. Then work some 150k tokens, then start again.

At the end, cache hit rate is like 99.5% if Novita is not having issues.

For official DeepSeek API, 99.9% or something.

Custom harness that never compacts or otherwise doctors the history.

Except weights will be unstable - temperature and frequency dependent - and we still have issues delivering analog circuits reliably to the spec. So it would take multiple attempts.

But yeah, as soon as the digital models start to plateau, ASICs and then this will happen.

Ok but I need a job to live.

Not really, you need cooperation with other people in this complex world to live. No necessarily a job. You could be self-employed or a member of a cooperative or an elected official.

But yeah, the capitalist default is to have a job, sure.

And if I want to do something interesting I need the skills and knowledge which are learned at a college level.

Not really, no. You need the skills and knowledge and for some professions you do need the official certificate of education and for a subset of those that's actually warranted, because you cannot get your hands on the training other ways. Doctors kinda need the official system, self-taught appendectomy would not be ideal. English literature? Not so much.

My first thought. I was browsing comments to see if everyone from the US did their mandatory bootlicking and yes, they did. Of course they did.

People are weird. Their government is strongarming half the world at the moment and they do not pause and go "wait, does this mean that if we unionize we can threaten to wipe all the databases unless?"

I am using novita-hosted DeepSeek V4 (Flash) for work and DeepSeek API for personal projects.

Novita's has occassional problem counting white space. DeepSeek hosted does not.

No idea why.

Look at GB/s.

Strix halo has 256 GB/s bandwidth for $2500. The Flash model has 13 GB activations.

256 / 13 = 19.6 tokens per second

Except you cannot fit it into the maximum RAM of 128 GB Strix Halo supports. So move on.

Another option is Threadripper. That's 8 memory channels. Using older DDR4-3200 you get roughly 200 GB/s. For $2000.

200 / 13 = 15.4 tokens per second

But, a chunk of per-token weights is actually always the same and not MoE, so you would offload that to a GPU and get a decent speedup. Say 25 tokens per second total.

Then likely some expensive Mac. No idea.

Eventually you arrive at a mining rig chassis with a beefy board and multiple GPUs. That has the benefit of pipelining. You run part of the model on one GPU and move on, so another batch can start on the first one. Low (say 30-100) tps individually, but a lot more in parallel. Best get it with other people.

They have released mixed fp8/fp4 for efficiency. It's still hundreds of gigabytes, though. Give up on local for these.
