Honestly Rust is an ugly looking language, I mean it's probably okay if you're coming from C or C++ but if you're coming from say Java, it's horrendous. but then again that probably does not matter at all.

all I ever wanted is an updated website where I can see the best models I can run on my different devices locally, I don't get why people are throwing money at these companies

Honestly all AI research should be open source but that's just a dream

no they don't - not when the lawsuit would affect the demand for the thing they're selling

oh don't get me started on finance "bros" - they just normalized greed - and that will probably be the doom of us all ... yeah I don't really know what people are doing with these local models - I tried the latest qwen3.8 27b on my decent consumer grade GPU and it struggles to do anything useful when I'm pretty sure Claude would have probably finished the same thing in a couple of hours, like it's not even close.

I don't think they are toast, I mean they will be in some trouble because all of them have fallen victim to fomo and started building out with so much debt for capacity that may or may not be needed nor achieve the returns that they want. I think there's a future where "personal software" meaning highly custom apps generated by an agent is a thing that doesn't mean everything will become that, same for local LLMs but all of this is still too far. The main issue is that hyperscalers or big tech in general have become too powerful they can just buy their way in and out of legislation as they please, sorry I mean lobby ... funny how if you rename something it becomes legal or illegal

Saying that you love rules is insanity - no you don't, nobody does nor should LOVE rules. Some of the rules in Germany not long ago was to put people in furnaces - do you love those rules ?! What you love is predictability, when everyone is stopping at the light, navigating a city becomes easier because it's predictable. Our brains love predictability that's why we love habits - it's comforting and we don't have to be on fight or flight all the time. So again to you and to people in the comments - you don't love rules, nor should you ... what you should do is follow the rules that make sense, challenge those that don't and break those that prevent you from doing what is right.

New comment by aslkalska in "Nobody knows what a used GPU cluster is worth"

aslkalska — Wed, 22 Jul 2026 18:22:04 +0000

so you're telling me you can't use 1 or 2% percent of 5 billions dollars to rebuild a team that runs GPU clusters for like a couple of years ?! and the guy that borrowed billions from these banks would want to mess up that relationship for what? I mean he is a stupid narcissist but not to that degree. This whole article makes no sense to me.
