@TeksEdge Dude. The RTX 2000 Ada sells for $600 and the B70 is $1000. This is not a win.

📊 Intel Arc Pro B70 shines in Llama.cpp Vulkan AI inference (Phoronix benchmarks) 🔹 1863 tokens/sec beats AMD Radeon PRO W7700 (1800) 🔹 Nearly matches NVIDIA RTX 2000 Ada (1816) 🔹 >2.3x faster than prior-gen Arc Pro B50 💰 Strong value at ~$949–$999 (32GB GDDR6): • More VRAM than RTX PRO 2000 Blackwell ($750–$915, 16GB) • Competitive vs AMD W7700 ($1,000+, 16GB) • Solid mid-tier performer at half the price of higher Blackwell PRO cards Great budget-friendly pro option for local LLM workloads on Linux! 🚀

@amuse @MassieforKY The best thing about this is all you scumbags have come out of the woodwork.

@MassieforKY Pathetic.

I filed with FEC for the 2028 House race. This allows me to raise funds to continue my political operations supporting my position as a current office holder and as a potential candidate for federal office. I haven’t made a final decision about which office to seek, if I run.

@xyster @TeksEdge @intel @nvidia Yeah, the problem is that most models 4-bit and below benchmark terribly, especially at long-chain agentic tasks.

@Authentic1ty @TeksEdge @intel @nvidia No opinions needed though when we have tools to benchmark.

🚨 🤯 @xyster did it! This is insane! Imagine running MiniMax M2.7 locally! One of the best open source models running locally on 4x @Intel B70 ARC Pros w/128GB of VRAM @ 83 tps! While not cheap, $4K will get you Intel 4 cards while 1 x @nvidia RTX-5090 32GB will cost $5K or RTX-6000 w/96GB costs $10K but neither will run MiniMax M2.7.

@xyster @TeksEdge @intel @nvidia In my opinion, it's only relevant if the model is usable. Two- and even four-bit quants aren't usable for most things.

@Authentic1ty @TeksEdge @intel @nvidia I can run Minimax in full FP8 across my 3 RTX 6000 Pros. This is all just for fun -- trying to push the max out of the hardware you have is just fun!

@TeksEdge @xyster @intel @nvidia Running low quants is a terrible idea though. I don't understand why people use them aside from saying they can run a low quant.

@xyster @intel @nvidia Thrilled? Holy 💩! Too bad the phrase “game changer” is used too often but yeah, you might have just sold out Intel’s inventory. Building a rig for $6K with 128GB VRAM running low quant SOTA models is possible now.

@xyster @TeksEdge @intel @nvidia I run this model on two DGX Sparks and AWQ gets ~40tok/s and everything else is significantly worse, even NVFP4 that's supposed to be faster on Blackwell. Maybe Intel is different.

@Authentic1ty @TeksEdge @intel @nvidia Do you have a link supporting this comment? I've only seen evidence to the contrary so far.

@kimmagagal2 @JangledK Democrats are retarded but it's also retarded to think you're going to stop a country from getting 80-year-old technology when all the resources needed to get it exist in the country you're trying to stop.

Yes they are!!

@MillieMarconnni Who really has time to loaf around in the water for an hour though?

Adderall raises norepinephrine by roughly 200%. A Czech study from 2000 proved that one hour in 57°F water raises it by 530%. The first costs $300 a month and a prescription. The second is in every bathroom in your house. His name was Pavel Šrámek. He ran the experiment at Charles University in Prague, and the paper sat quietly in the European Journal of Applied Physiology for two decades before Andrew Huberman started quoting it on every podcast he appeared on. Almost nobody outside physiology has actually read it. The numbers inside it are the reason cold plunges became a billion dollar industry. Here is what he actually did. He took 10 healthy young men, sat them neck deep in water of three different temperatures, and kept them there for one hour. 32°C. 20°C. 14°C. Then he drew their blood and measured what had happened to their neurochemistry. In the 14°C water, which is 57°F, plasma norepinephrine increased by 530%. Dopamine increased by 250%. Epinephrine barely moved. The body was not panicking. It was releasing the two exact molecules your brain uses to focus, in quantities no pill on the market can match. Norepinephrine is the chemical your prefrontal cortex runs on when you are locked in. It is what every ADHD medication on earth tries to nudge upward. Strattera targets it. Wellbutrin targets it. Adderall raises it by about 200% at clinical doses. Cold water raises it by 530% for free. The strangest part is what happens to dopamine after you step out. In every drug that raises dopamine sharply, there is a crash. The spike is followed by a trough. That is what makes stimulants addictive. The brain learns to chase the high because the low feels unbearable. Cold water does something completely different. The dopamine elevation lasts 2 to 3 hours and slides back to baseline without dropping below it. No comedown. No tolerance buildup. No prescription required. This is the mechanism Huberman keeps trying to explain. Cold exposure is the only known intervention that delivers a stimulant-grade neurochemical response with no addictive backend. It is not a hack. It is a 4 billion year old reflex hardwired into mammals from the era when surviving cold water was a daily survival skill. Šrámek published the paper in 2000 and went back to his lab. He never marketed it. He never wrote a book. He never started a supplement company. The number 530% just sat there in a Czech academic journal waiting for the rest of the world to catch up. Almost no one has read the original paper. Almost everyone is repeating the number. The protocol is simpler than any drug regimen on earth. 60 to 180 seconds. Cold enough that you want to get out but safe enough that you don't. Bare skin. Once a day, ideally in the morning. Your brain has been waiting for this for a long time.

@LarueTabitha @MSarelson @RepThomasMassie @ScottJenningsKY @grok JFC are you mentally handicapped? He's literally the guy who got the law passed to release all the files... The Trump administration has been sandbagging. Stop trolling.

@Authentic1ty @MSarelson @RepThomasMassie @ScottJenningsKY @grok How? Massie covered too

Thomas Massie chose to end his career with this despicable line about Congressman-elect Ed Gallrein: “I had to find him in Tel Aviv.” Rather than exit with dignity, Massie just proved President Trump was right to send him into early retirement.

@TheAhmadOsman Run that under load for an hour and those laptops will melt after thermal throttling themselves into oblivion.

Good example of Performative Inference / Local AI grifting MiniMax-M2.7 on 4x M5 Max MacBooks (~$22,000 USD) - Longest prompt: 338 (???) - Max context: ~3k (???) - 45 tok/s (lol) - Single prompt, no parallel requests Some of the funniest & stupidest shit I've ever seen

@TheMilkBarTV Are the Islamic Jihads in the room with you right now?

Tucker Carlson LAUGHS at "Islamic jihad" saying "whatever that is?!" As he mocks the people"concerned about Islamic jihad, Hamas and Hezbollah" who voted against Thomas Massie.

@eron_wolf @riotgames The only people who have a problem with this are people interested in cheating. Having IOMMU enabled is not impacting your ability to use your PC.

It doesn't matter. Everyone should be allowed to access the memory on the computer they bought to play your games with. It's their computer not yours. Stop doing these things.

Well, that escalated quickly. There’s been a wave of claims by cheaters about Vanguard “bricking” their PCs, so let’s clear that up: Vanguard does not damage hardware or disable your devices. The photo we posted is a picture of cheat hardware devices that are sold explicitly for cheating in VALORANT (not normal PCs or PC components). Through our latest updates, Vanguard now makes those devices worthless for VAL, but does not in any way brick PCs or PC components or PC software. Our latest update enforces standard platform security features, like the Input-Output Memory Management Unit (IOMMU), on accounts identified as using Direct Memory Access (DMA) cheating devices. These protections are already part of modern systems and when enabled, they block DMA cheat devices (such as those shown in the photo) from accessing memory in downstream applications, like our games. If a cheat setup continues attempting to cheat after those protections are enabled, the system may generate hardware faults or instability. This is expected behavior under IOMMU when attempts are made to read protected memory. Disabling IOMMU allows the cheat device to function again, but IOMMU will still be required to play our games. This means the cheat device won’t work with our games, but your PC isn’t “bricked.” We would not, and cannot, impact your PC’s functionality in any other fashion. This functionality only applies to systems attempting to use DMA cheat devices, and players who are not using DMA-based cheat setups are not affected. We’ll keep investing in anti-cheat to protect competitive integrity, and we’ll keep being as transparent as possible about how those systems work.

@0xSero Not smart if you care about hardware longevity.

Wow! 4 MacBooks serving 40 tok/s+ on a 230B param model hmmmm I thought the gatekeepers said this isnt possible

@BartBubbly @realdefender45 I guess Ghilane Maxwell was trafficking girls to nobody. Hundreds of victims are just lying. Nothing to see here. Retard.

@realdefender45 Thomas Massie clowned himself by indulging in the braindead Epstein hysteria.

Our party was handed a once-in-a-generation opportunity to restore constitutional government and protect the American people… and somewhere along the way, too many started confusing loyalty with obedience.” What happened to Thomas Massie was behavioral conditioning. Punish the people willing to stand alone, make dissent painful, and everyone else learns to stay quiet and become a “team player.” That’s how movements lose their soul. Which is why men like Tim Burchett need to be protected at all costs. Because the day every Republican falls in line out of fear is the day the people lose the last voices willing to defend them.

@RogueKite @RepThomasMassie @FrontierArt1 "White nationalists." Oh no, patriotic white people who don't want the country to turn into South Africa... the horror lmaooooo

You don't say... I mean you guys wouldn't be trying to instigate some kind of religious war at home by highly publicizing and staging a stolen/bought election would you? 🤔 What odd company you're keeping. Do you follow a lot of white nationalist cult community supporters? So strange how Tucker was just talking about how he was okay with this on his show...

There’s a quiet all out war for the future of our country. Let us not misdirect our precious resources. I do not believe I lost due to fraudulent votes, mail-in ballots, hacking, or mistabulated results. I respect those who want to make sure, but I won’t be requesting a recount.

@_FORAB Honestly, this is horseshit. They're passing the cost to consumers for RAM that otherwise wouldn't be nearly as expensive.

我哭了，原来人均年终奖 40 万美金的工厂，大家上班都这么开心。韩国 KBS 纪录片，近期首次公开了 SK 海力士内部样貌，有员工表示一天要工作 8 小时，多数工作有机器人。 按照公司的分红方案，今年员工们预计每人会有 7 亿韩元奖金，约合 46 万美金，前提是芯片需求继续旺盛。

@LarueTabitha @MSarelson @RepThomasMassie @ScottJenningsKY @grok Well, at least I'm not covering for pedos 🤷‍♀️

@Authentic1ty @MSarelson @RepThomasMassie @ScottJenningsKY @grok You're the one coping and seething

@LarueTabitha @MSarelson @RepThomasMassie @ScottJenningsKY @grok Yeah after tens of millions was spent against him with fake AI ads he sent out a real endorsement. The only reason Trump turned on Massie is because of Epstein, which was one of Trump's campaign promises. You people are pathetic.

@Authentic1ty @MSarelson @RepThomasMassie @ScottJenningsKY @grok Massie sent out Trump's endorsement of him from a previous election to trick people into believing he endorsed him this time. Hypocrites

@MSarelson @RepThomasMassie @ScottJenningsKY @grok They literally ran completely dishonest fake AI ads on Fox News to trick boomers into thinking Massie was having a threesome with AOC and Ilhan Omar... Fuck you and them.

@RepThomasMassie @ScottJenningsKY @grok Dude, Miriam Adelson did not vote in the primary. Blame "the Jews" all you want, but money doesn't vote. People in your community (which probably has no Jewish population) voted you out. You were fired by your neighbors, i.e., the people who know you best, not "the Jews."
