That's not a workstation.

When do you plan to open source the thing you benchmarked?

New comment by hank808 in "Running local models is good now"

Local models are good? Or are we saying that open source/open weights models are good? What I'm asking is, are they good because they are "local" or are they good because you can install and run them yourself, wherever you want? Same node, different node, different cluster, way out in the ether/cloud...

Those are already on the market. This was about the new thing coming to market, which is Windows support.

Vera only lives in the DC. It will probably eventually end up on the edge, but not for a year or so.

Nope. 2000s would refer to the century. We're still in the 2000s and still early. The Wright brothers flew the first plane in the early 1900s. Accurate. Ford introduced the Model T in the late 1900s, inaccurate. 1908 was not the late 1900s.

I watched this until I saw the first down vote, 5 minutes later. Would anyone refer to the year 1909 as "the late 1900s?" Nope.

"...came to widespread attention in the late 2000s..." Weird. I thought we were all living in the year 2026, which seems like the early 2000s to me. Huh...

Ehhh. None of this sounds right. Translation problems maybe. Lack or technical detail understanding maybe... I don't know. Probably not news.

Nopes. I'm strongly suggesting that we already had a frigging word for these things, that's also still valid AF today, and it's "word processor." Not f'n writerdeck or whatever. Dumb.

You're not gettin' the point. There's nothing here if you think about it for 10 seconds. Any ancient anything, could run vi, or vim, or Emacs, or friggin' wordstar, natively or via emulation or WHATEVER. There's nothing here.

"Writerdeck' or simple word processor? They were first sold in the 1960s or 70s. Why? Buy, not build I'm thinking.

Steven Colbert apparently can't take a day off. This is great! If you like him, you'll probably love this video.
