Redox OS?

Well at least you didn’t hack a Gibson

I swear I’ve seen either Zero Cool or Acid Burn around here somewhere.

I found a bunch of obscure movies from the 1930s and 1940s when a friend asked for some. I’m still seeding them. And I do mean obscure, not like Citizen Kane or something that everyone knows.

As the other commenter said, likely from China. The US banned exports of the super high-end chips to China IIRC, but not low-end stuff. And India is known to sell anything to anyone as well.

I wonder if that dazzle camo used by manufacturers for testing prototype cars would work. I wouldn’t mind getting something like that on my car

There’s actually a setting you can enable if you want Apple to not hold your iCloud keys. A necessary side effect is that you can’t recover access through Apple so you’ll have to set up another form of account recovery.

I don’t think you have any idea how much the power consumption is unfortunately. The roof would cover maybe 1-10% of the power consumption of a modern data center. A single rack’s power consumption is basically the same as a neighborhood. An entire data center is more like a small country.

To be clear I’m not trying to say it’s OK they’re using gas plants, I’m just saying why the solar power Musk promised was never going to be feasible.

Edit: My bad, this is a fab, I thought it was yet another XAI datacenter. Might be more feasible, but still - for energy intensive purposes, which this is likely to be, on-site solar can offset part of the energy requirement, but generally not all of it.

Sodium is just what those weirdos call Naatrium.

I’ve never heard of it in any context other than illegal shit.

Sorry, I only hold safemoons and assorted memecoins named after Musk and Trump

Uh solar panels cost a bunch of money to make and they take a ton of space, which means buying extra land

Who gets to decide the exact profit margin all companies must stick to?

What’s the point in coming up with an entire new language for them if they can just write English and humans will also understand it?

Kinda pointless to have LLMs optimised to produce garbage humans can’t understand because at the end, your goal is still to produce something humans will consume.

Okay, not as bad as I thought, there’s a guy selling a 4090 for “only” 2k. There’s nobody selling a 3090 in the local hardware forum. I’m not going to buy off ebay because if someone on ebay sells a dud, I can’t go back to punch him in the face.

5090s start at about 5200, that’s true. To be fair, the “4-5k” for a used 3090 was a bit hyperbolic, I’m just mad that they’re so expensive that my last 2 cars cost less than a USED 4090.

Why does what need root access? The person paying for the hosting? So they can install software cloudflare doesn’t offer for example.

It exists but nobody wants to use it. We’re a minority. Most want to open “the app” and not spend any effort finding things.

The tokens ARE language. They’re just words or parts of words.

If you’re using a western LLM, English IS its strongest language. Otherwise it might be Chinese or English.

There’s no “LLM native language” to convert to for efficiency. Maybe pseudocode or actual code for things where you need to disambiguate.

A used 3090 alone is like what, 4-5k now?

Your setup isn’t really achievable for most now.

After the last one they never really lowered prices back, we were still buying near crypto era priced GPUs before the AI boom.
