   Based on my experience, Xeons will do well for LLMs. I tried Mistrel 7B in MlStudio.AI on an old HP z440 with 4x16=64GB DDR4 Reg RAM. It bottlenecks on the RAM, with the E5-1630 v4 running at 50%. It prints text faster than I can read. If I

    I wonder how many people know how to take their blood pressure? You should take it after sitting quietly and resting for about 15 minutes, or it will read too high. You should find a blood pressure meter and matching cuff (they must match!)

    In Robert Heinlein's Starship Troopers, only those who had served in the military could vote on going to war. (I know that I'm oversimplifying.) I want a society where you have to prove competence in a field to regulate that field

    This has nothing to do with military conflict. Banning the sale of old-west style revolvers and lever-action rifles is about hurting the American gun makers. Then the Biden Administration will be shocked that our domestic arms industry is u
