If you have access to a Xeon processor, I don’t see why humans should be the first thing you interface with.

Yeah but you don’t have to use that I think. I think us Node people can just pretend to write Ecmascript 2 in Java and be fine.

The RTX GPU laptops run very hot. Even though they are pound for pound better, it’s just runs too hot for local llm usage for me at least. Prefer Macs for this. A lot of AMD cards also run cooler. I wonder if undervting would help with smaller models and heat.

Round Robin the free tier APIs, should be effectively free. Just say say “sike” if discussing sensitive issues so the LLM never flags you.

Sisters, a 8B local model that hallucinates is better than that 50bn in sweaty VR shit they made. It is what it is, slap a monthly fee on the 3B model and move on, I suppose.

The problem with certain intellectual pursuits is that it becomes its own little sub culture with its own little sub culture celebrities.

You see, High School never ended. Things can still get lame in the “real world”. The “geeks” need to shut up and go back to the geek table and be more humble. The whole lot of us have demonstrated limited ability on how to be decent.

To quote Rick James:

”They should have never given you developers money. Fuck your Ping Pong table, fuck. Your. Ping. Pong. Table!”

Anyone have some quick recommendations, looking for a secondary backup phone.

Posted.

Getting to the top page is already a systemic flaw that originated from the genesis of this place. The original sin is that the people that run this place have a priority to promote “something” first and foremost.

Getting “to the front page” is a whole other ethical issue, but we have no oversight over the watchmen.

Just trust. So trust requires trust , how much of this place is a giant advertising campaign?

So, are you suggesting we should not misunderstand “just business” as “glorious human achievement”?

The same crowd comes out because in every human generation, a young boy will have seen the advances of human technology and ambition, and will have also seen the sheer scale of our curious contraptions by the time they are an old man. That’s why you get the same “revelation” generation after generation.

Some people truly grow up.

Yeah totally. Ideally, I’d like it if we feed the kids that need the food, educate them, and have them build the rocket and have them take the glory of that achievement (the glory being we as a society uplifted ourselves, literally … to the moon).

Right now it feels like the privileged are being sent to the moon. Many babies and young adults are on battlefields right now.

But thank you for reminding me how important it is for the child to see something magical.

The truth is definitely quite deep.

Well. You are getting down voted but here I am in later stages in life watching this Moon launch, and unlike other times in past, I didn’t feel any inspiration.

Honestly, it’s a waste of money. That’s my final answer, there’s kids that need food. I am no longer inspired by this stuff.

I’ve seen enough advanced technology for many lifetimes, we need something else as a species (more of that humanity thing).

Can we solve for x and y? All I see is algebra here, is my intuition wrong?

You have to be uneducated to even read an “AI is bubble article”. Anyone working this stuff knows how much more compute we need.

HN is no longer a reliable place for the truth. Quite frankly, unless you are utterly self educated, you are terribly vulnerable to this place.

At this rate, I’d almost prefer to talk on a private mailing list with vetted resumes.
