My M1 Pro MBP is 6 years old and continues to be the best computer I own, so if that’s Apple not trying, god help everybody else once they do.

Once I get some kind of settlement after getting beaten up by a cop my first purchase will be some RTX Pro 6000s.

The Gulf countries paid handsomely to get Trump in there to keep the United States as the buyer of last resort once the rest of the world goes renewable. Problem is that installing a bunch of sick sons of bitches to do your bidding can back

My only concern is that they'll sell out so quickly for so long that I'll have to wait for the iPhone Duo Two-o because they won't be easy to get until like May 2027.

150 tokens per second on a ternary model implies that it’s GPU bound, I’d bet a Q6 model is even faster because it’s existed longer and seen more optimization. You’d have to be insane to not run an NVFP4 quant over a ternary quant on Blackw

Elon fucking Musk has literally every single piece of personal information of every person in the country. It’s so far past too late for any of this to matter. I’m not sure how we start over but this data plus LLMs is gonna make it a full t

Hermes still makes saddles that are somewhat reasonably priced compared to their handbags. It's still profitable, it's their original raison d'etre, and there's no real reason for them to stop even if it its rounding err

It's still a 15B market for Nvidia, it's not nothing. But I'm curious how they're going to turn Rubin into a gaming GPU. I think at this point consumer GPU upgrades are going to be AI-related upgrades that happen to also

The cursor acquisition just shows that there’s always a dumber shithead out there. Though vaporizing Elon Musks money is about as pure of a good as there is out there these days.

I’m pretty sure the efficiency cores in the A20 Pro have more juice than the performance cores in my M1 Pro laptop.

NVFP4 would buy them a huge increase in capacity but I think it would be noticeable.

The passport card is almost exclusively for people who go back and forth to Canada and want to keep it in their wallet. Nobody is complaining about the size of a passport.

I will gladly bet you an iPhone Duo that they’ll be unobtanium deep into 2027 and that they’ll sell millions of them on day 0.

No, they just don’t care. The TAM in countries that don’t support eSIM for $2500+ phones is probably a rounding error.

I have a 5080, three OpenAI Pro token resets, and I’m on paternity leave. Astra seems pretty clever. Maybe I’ll give it a task.

It’s the voters that put him back. You could say it was an aberration the first time but the second? Americans are too stupid and selfish to be trusted with the immense power they were given.

We’re getting subsidized training. The inference is not a loss leader. And since providers can run hardware at 100 percent 24/7 their per token cost is going to be far below mine, regardless of how long I’m willing to wait for a token

We thought it was mean to homeless people to make them pay for bathrooms and made it illegal to charge. Then once bathrooms because a massive cost center, we closed all the public restrooms and made it a sex offense to piss outside. So now
