The yoke of human existence is oppressive. We should transcend it as soon as possible. We are doing so by assuming our role as the Demiurge.

Those who oppose its creation will get what they deserve.

"He doesn't have a tin can in your face shouting from a soapbox that makes it hard to ignore."

He metaphorically does because people upvote his pelicans to the top and the ensuing comment threads are massive/bloated. Huge amounts of the readership of this website are lurkers who don't even know how to hide these giant posts. Look at how bloated this very thread is right now!

Also, a lot of people unironically are whining about him because of sour grapes. Pay them what Simon is likely making, give them as much mindshare/attention as Simon gets, and they wouldn't be so mad.

Anti-incumbency bias and anti-elitist attitudes are good actually.

And if you do care to support modern samplers, you can start with the following:

Switch to a modern sampler like min_p or ideally a better one like top-n-sigma (it’s in llamacpp) and your “my model gets stupid at long context problems” will basically go away.

Unfortunately this fact is still not well appreciated yet despite nearly every modern sampling technique getting an oral wherever they get presented. Min-K just got an oral at ACL 2026, for a hyper recent example of this. There’s a reason they keep getting orals.

The field massively ignored sampling for mostly safety reasons and now the whole field incorrectly believes long context doesn’t work on small models. Long context is an out-of-distribution problem. Your sampler configured properly keeps you in distribution.

Oh and this is doubly true for quantized models. I run my qwen 3.6 27b with 4bit quants from unsloth and get excellent performance because my sampler stack is good and not the garbage that is top_p and top_k. Also, yes, you need to ignore the trash recommended sampler settings from the Chinese labs (they’re wrong/bad).

Wage spiritual warfare against the petit-bourgeoise. They all deserve it anyway, as they are the traditional harbringers of actual fascism.

Benchmark cheating aside, it wasn't that bad.

Micheal berry doesn’t know shit about GPU pricing or depreciation schedules. A100 demand is very high and easily 2 dollars an hour for reserved right now.

B200 and Vera reubin don’t help much if you don’t benefit from quantization, and that’s exactly my situation and many other AI research orgs situation.

A100s are going to continue making money per hour until 2030. Mark my words.

Marxian style LTV analysis of the economy breaks down hardcore involving anything touching electrons. His analysis of the theory of alienation/exploitation is literally invalid in the era of computers, and exponentially so in the era of AI systems. It's not "exploitation" to be available in exchange for comically large amounts of money.

For example, Thailand would be 2 years like you say. Neighboring Burma/Myanmar would be EASILY 5 years, possibly 10 depending on how long the civil war goes. That's assuming you don't work and live in the capital Yangon.
