You could realistically be burning through ~5k of tokens without hitting the quota. The subscriptions are crazy subsidized relative to the API rates.

That model simplifies thought into a painfully linear process, and overestimates the creativity people put into the "small decisions" that push a project forward. Most decisions are arbitrary and need to be reconsidered later anyw

I'm convinced this "signal" has already been hijacked. Maybe a Baader-Meinhof phenomenon, but I've noticed more and more egregious spelling errors that make little sense from a human perspective. Hop into whatever chatbo

Did you consider the R9700 or B70 when you went for the MI100? If so, what made you choose the MI100? I've been playing with picking up a card in this class but haven't been able to justify it when running the Qwen3.6 MOE model on

Are you increasing your water intake when you do? That sounds like dehydration. Creatine takes a large amount of water to appropriately process, and during the loading phase, your body is pushing substantially more water into your muscles.

I think we're roughly on the same side here? I'm explicitly against moralizing about AI by people who benefit from other forms of tech exploitation, e.g. using Amazon for hosting; I'm not against the idea of AI as a whole; I

Most do, in my experience? I worked at Argonne for a while, and they absolutely treated their profession with deadly seriousness. I didn't meet anyone who took the stance of "Move fast and break things". Most spent too many l

More specifically, someone actively building on top of Amazon decrying the exploitation of workers and the environment is demonstrably hypocritical. And "engineers building things to spec" are not the same as those giving the orde

I vehemently disagree that meta or airbnb have done more to benefit society than not, but I'll take the overall argument; that technology, on the whole, benefits society overall. Which is true, on the long term. But we have no reason t

I'm specifically saying "I'm entitled to displace people with automation built on previous work, but automation that affects me shouldn't be allowed" is a particularly hypocritical take. The implications of AI aren&

And you're cutting an awfully wide swath in the opposite direction; most tech gains value by exploiting or displacing people. Economies of scale don't just exist at the absolute top of the economy. The computer cut out entire clas

Controversial take: It's weird to see people in tech taking this stance. They've been riding the same wave of exploiting the average person through economies of scale for the last 20+ years, but now that it affects them, it's

I've always thought about doing something like this in the Midwest US, but was always a bit nervous about condensation damaging the components over time; did you run with that sort of setup consistently, or only when pushing high score
