TBF those RSUs come in handy on cold winter nights when you need tinder.

Well I was 46 years old and married at the time (still married). It helped when I could tell my wife she could stop working and getting up early and I was working remotely. It made those late nights and early morning much more enjoyable.

(Partially joking, I make the same post BigTech as a “staff consultant” as an L5 I did mentor as an intern and when they first came back as an L4. Nothing eye popping. But decent)


I've hired that guy and he was a ticket grinder, well-respected by the team.

Classic LLM construction.

5 sentence paragraph. First sentence is parataxis claim. Followed by 3 examples in sentence fragments, missing verbs, that familiar cadence. Then the final sentence, in this case also missing a verb.

Pure AI slop.


> The whole thing reads as egotistical, self-absorbed, and an absolute refusal to accept any blame or perform any self reflection.

So, modern subjectivity. Got it.

A $200 Rabbit r1 running OpenClaw for 36 hours showed apps are "really just" just markdown files. But as the agent runtime grew the engine's 4 tool minimalism to multi-agent clusters, the map peeled away from the territory.

Floridi's conjecture explains why this was inevitable.


That's the problem with sarcasm...


You need to publish this tbh


Depending on what your usage requirements are, Mac Minis running UMA over RDMA is becoming a feasible option. At roughly 1/10 of the cost you're getting much much more than 1/10 the performance. (YMMV)

I did not expect this to be a limiting factor in the mac mini RDMA setup ! -

> Thermal throttling: Thunderbolt 5 cables get hot under sustained 15GB/s load. After 10 minutes, bandwidth drops to 12GB/s. After 20 minutes, 10GB/s. Your 5.36 tokens/sec becomes 4.1 tokens/sec. Active cooling on cables helps but you’re fighting physics.

Thermal throttling of network cables is a new thing to me…


I admire patience of anyone who runs dense models on unified memory. Personally, I would rather feed an entire programming book or code directory to a sparse model and get an answer in 30 seconds and then use cloud in rare cases it's not enough.


Luckily we're having a record cold winter and your setup can double as a personal space heater.


Call for pricing.


Right, not to "defend" the paper's claims, but it seems to be more like tuning how the leaky bucket leaks, using lossy compression to try to preserve some measure of coherency? Seems to turn on the fixed size summary.
