> For us dell has become that. Rep changes all the time, what appears to be random pricing and long unclear delivery dates. I think this would be expected from a company that has acquired and absorbed EMC and Perot.

I have no connection with Thomson Reuters other than as an end user of a GGUF of the LLM I mentioned. That said, from my personal experience with this specific LLM, it's a decent improvement over a "base" Qwen 3.6 35B A3B Q8,

Thinking the US government wouldn't kidnap and rendition him from Ecuador is an extremely ignorant and uninformed position on how the US exercises power in the Americas. He made a least-bad choice of all possibly horrible choices and c

I'm pretty sure he's staying quiet as fuck because he doesn't want to come to any public attention and get deported from Russia. Which would mean he would end up on a one way trip for life to ADX Florence. I haven't se

A sufficiently motivated person with a good thermal camera and a cessna 172, entirely within the bounds of the law, could probably make an estimate of the waste heat from this, and then calculate backwards for how much compute power it is.

I wonder if this is a peculiar attempt to write in a style that is the complete opposite of how Claude writes.

It's a fair point but it's also possible the person running the tests has a dedicated test hypervisor for this , so that different configurations of filesystems and VMs can be created and destroyed quickly in an automated manner.

That's a very good point. I've had moderately good success with even not very smart LLMs 'fixing' things that would otherwise accept arbitrary user generated text input, to run things through a thorough sanitization pipe
