  1. I just blurt out "processing" when they start looking at me weird. People tend to take it well.
  2. Apple's M5 Max will probably be able to run it decently (as it will fix the biggest issue with the current lineup, prompt processing, in addition to a bandwidth bump).

    That should easily run an 8 bit (~360GB) quant of the model. It's probably going to be the first actually portable machine that can run it. Strix Halo does not come with enough memory (or bandwidth) to run it (would need almost 180GB for weights + context even at 4 bits), and they don't have any laptops available with the top end (max 395+) chips, only mini PCs and a tablet.

    Right now you only get the performance you want out of a multi GPU setup.

  3. The model is 64GB (int4 native), add 20GB or so for context.

    There are many platforms out there that can run it decently.

    AMD strix halo, Mac platforms. Two (or three without extra ram) of the new AMD AI Pro R9700 (32GB of RAM, $1200), multi consumer gpu setups, etc.

  4. Mine too! Only 2 years old but I can already see the massive anxiety bursts in him.

    If this guy has a non chemical cure, I'm all for it. In fact I'm actively researching children psychologists to stave off the meds as much as we can, the problem is that 99% of psychologists are quacks, so choosing them is tough.

  5. You don't understand what having extreme anxiety at that age feels like.

    As someone who lived through that, I refuse to let him. All of memories of school are just feeling anxious about everything, just tight and suffocated, always in a panic. I started living when I started taking anxiety pills at 39 years old, and I can see my 2 year old having the exact same anxiety ticks and fits I have.

    I don't know at what age I'll medicate him, but I'll do it as soon as I notice he isn't coping and happy anymore.

    Horrifying is forcing him to experience that because you can't comprehend us.

  6. For me? Not being hyper anxious all day (to the point that I just freeze and procrastinate all day), being able to sort of focus on the most important task (I'm still ADHD with 1000 unfinished projects, but at least I finish the things that have to be finished), eating healthy and enjoying exercising (100 lbs down and got quite good at tennis), not entering into a rage state due to anxiety overflow everytime I fight with my wife, being able to regulate my emotions, I could go on and on honestly.
  7. Same here, after struggling for 39 years, glp-1 + SSRI + ADHD meds have made me a normal productive human, and 2 years ago I had pretty much given up on the possibility.

    Having a child forced me to fix my life, and I'm incredibly happy because of it.

  8. The post has just enough minor grammatical imperfections that a LLM wouldn't make that I don't for a second believe this copy was written by an LLM .
  9. Because unlike the other my journey posts, this one is sharing acquired knowledge and framing it through his (in this instance relatable since it explains the reasons) experience.

    Other my journey posts are look at me with only enough subject matter to disguise it.

    This post is about sharing knowledge, the others are about sharing experiences.

  10. It is basically an inflation brake, it allows the government to spend and equalize the money supply against a specifically targeted class rather than dumping it wholesale on the economy as inflation (there's a lot more to inflation than direct government spending but it is a cause).

    Whether you agree with it or not will vary greatly depending on the effectiveness of your country's government, the wealth gap, your country's currency purchasing power, your general political alignment, and a whole slew of other factors.

  11. Someone who started using Roblox on its release date in 2006 at let's say 6 years old is now 25 years old.
  12. Yes, I'd also think it's a great idea to build new apps in a language currently undergoing a distribution & supply chain war between the interested parties.
  13. Isn't the ruby gems community currently imploding and in the middle of a hostile takeover? Also I've read about quite a few recent politically aligned actions in the community.

    I don't know if I'd call that "mature".

  14. I was going to because I like the architecture, but then I saw the fact that licensing changes are going to be frequent, and that the developers seem a bit aggressive on another thread, and I've decided to skip it.

    Datastar developers are free to do what they want with their code, but as someone who releases open source software, I'm tired of projects using open source simply to create a moat or user base then switch to a proprietary model.

  15. I don't know why you are getting down voted. As someone with a 2 year old and hoping for another one, I'm terrified of all the things you have to take into consideration that my parents didn't when choosing a school or area to live in.
  16. Intel has pushed open source but really only for their hardware.

    Basically hackable source available hardware which in the Linux world is a huge advantage.

    AMD has forced Nvidia out many proprietary technologies (gsync) just by countering with an open technology. There is no reason it couldn't execute the same plan against Intel.

    Intel lost its competitive edge by trying to maximize captured value. It seems this person want to double down on the strategy, instead of going for absolute best product at the price possible.

  17. Hot swap drives are necessary on data centers where you don't want to have to pull the whole server and open the top cover just to replace a disk.

    But on a home NAS? What problem would having to power it down and power it on for drive replacement create? You're going to resync the array anyways.

    I don't mind them and I do use them but I consider them a very small QOL improvement. I don't really replace my disks all that often. And now that you can get 30TB enterprise samsung SSDs for 2k, two of those babies in raid 1 + an optane cache gives you extremely fast and reliable storage in a very small footprint.
