Gone

@RyanLeeMiniMax Soundd logical. However - If I use MiniMax in my coding assistant to write code, and I sell that resulting code independently, do you consider that commercial use? That is what is still not clear. Thanks.

The fact that the White House overtly backed a pro-Moscow, pro-Russia, pro-Putin leader of an EU, Nato member state is terrifying. The fact that Orbán is now gone is one mildly shining light in a terrifying state of International affairs. Congratualtions Hungary!

It even got to the point where the President of the United States (!) openly promised, on social media (!!), to give Hungarian voters money (!!!) if they chose Orban as prime minister. Just think about it for a moment. This is political corruption turned up to the absolute maximum, displayed with a level of brazenness and shamelessness the world has never seen before.

@atreosti71 @ShadowofEzra As a mental exercise . Imagine he was compromised in the 80’s when Russia bailed him out financially and recorded him doing something he shouldn’t, sexually. Then imagine Mossad caught him on tape for the same later. Now…. What would he do differently to what he’s doing now ?

I think Trump is trapped and must be terrified. I mean….obviously he’s compromised. I think it’s Jared…and I think he is somehow having to choose between his daughter and America and he’s choosing his daughter. It’s really painful to watch it happening. I’m angry, sad, concerned, confused. It’s wild. The Jared/Ivanka theory is my own. But I can’t think of any other reason he’d be so completely different. I believe he was sincere when we all voted for him. Something happened.

This is the best angle to see the crowd’s reaction to President Trump walking into the UFC event. What do you guys think?

McFAUL: The fact that we and Vice President of United States is campaigning for Viktor Orbán, who is close friend and, dare I say, maybe even ally of Vladimir Putin, is just crazy. And it drives Europeans crazy when we do this as blatant interference in their elections.

@no_stp_on_snek @wildmindai @sudoingX Don’t tell anyone but I’m also bidding on a 5090 beast. Goodness only knows what I could do with that ;)

@The_ERP_Man @wildmindai @sudoingX 55GB model at 40K context on 12GB VRAM at workable output is exactly the use case. nice result.

RotorQuant - upgraded TurboQuant. > 10x KV cache compression > 28% faster decoding > 5x faster prefill > 44x fewer parameters Same quality as full attention. 1/10th the memory. Ok, another massive VRAM discount for local LLMs. github.com/scrya-com/roto…

@no_stp_on_snek @wildmindai @sudoingX That’s a 55GB model file running on a 12GB GPU at 40,000 context at workable output . I would not have believed that when I started. Now I need to get my coding agent to use it … and hopefully self improve from it.

@no_stp_on_snek @wildmindai @sudoingX Will give it a shot . There are some updated figures in subfolder in my repo where it was running all day. I felt good about where we were so ran LMStudio with Qwen3.5 122b apex at 40000 context using greenboost and TQ3. Very good real world results and 4.4tps Quite happy!

@AlexFinn Spoiler: Not every person in the world can afford a PC with a fast GPU. 90% of the planet live on pennies. 90% of the UK can't afford one. Don't get me wrong : It's giving a lot of tools to a lot of people, but still a tool for the relatively rich at the expense of the poor.

The most amazing future is about to arrive Open source AI models are about 6 months behind at all times All the latest open source models are at about Sonnet 4.5 level That means 6 months from now, open source models will be at Mythos levels Meaning, anyone in the world could run super weapon intelligence on their Mac Minis This might scare you, but it actually makes me incredibly excited This means every person in the world, as long as they can buy a computer, will have completely democratized abilities to create anything they want Any product, software, service, anything Before 2026, you needed to know how to code, write, speak specific languages, or pay for a college degree to produce value It was gate kept to the privileged Soon, quite literally anyone, as long as you have access to a computer, will have super genius level abilities to build anything they want Elon Musk objectively made the world a better place by creating incredible products But there is only 1 Elon Musk.

@iAmJoshHunt @Quincun36705461 Just wait till China invaded Taiwan then. You have no idea how bad it might be about to get. With the US weakened, who would try and stop them?

@Quincun36705461 I hope not. But when you combine this crisis with all the other compounding and interlocking crises that I’ve covered in recent long form tweets… I’m deeply concerned.

I want to talk about the scale of what’s coming for the UK over the next three months. Because I don’t think many people have joined the dots yet. The Strait of Hormuz has been effectively closed for over five weeks. Before this war, 135 ships passed through it every day. Now it’s 5 to 7. Over 600 vessels are still stranded. Iran has mined the strait, is charging tolls, and controlling who passes. The CEO of Abu Dhabi’s national oil company said it this week: “The Strait of Hormuz is not open. Access is being restricted, conditioned and controlled. That is coercion.” Two thirds of Gulf crude has no alternative route. 14 million barrels a day behind a 21-mile chokepoint. Energy bills are forecast to jump 20% in July. From £1,641 to nearly £2,000. The second major energy shock in four years. Petrol up over 15%. Diesel up nearly 30%. Wholesale gas rose 75% in under four weeks. Food inflation could hit 8% by June and 9% by December. Academics advising DEFRA say it could reach 12%. UK food prices are already 38% higher than before Covid. We’re only 62% self-sufficient in food. We import 60% of our nitrogen fertiliser. Red diesel for farming has surged 60%. Average arable farm income has fallen to £17,000, the lowest in over 20 years. Yesterday, China announced it’s halting all sulphuric acid exports from May. Sulphuric acid is essential for phosphate fertilisers, copper mining, oil refining, and battery manufacturing. A third of the world’s sulphur was already blocked by the Hormuz closure. Now the world’s largest exporter has pulled the other lever at the same time. The fertiliser crisis just got significantly worse, heading straight into planting season. Before the war, markets expected rate cuts. Now they’ve priced in two rate rises. Over 1,500 mortgage products have been pulled. Two year fixes have jumped from 4.8% to 5.5%. Nearly £1,000 a year extra on a £200k mortgage. Gone in weeks. Flights are next. A quarter of UK jet fuel comes from Kuwait, behind the strait. In early April, major carriers said they had five to six weeks of reserves. That clock is running. Ryanair’s CEO has warned 5-10% of summer flights could be cancelled. Iran’s strike on Qatar’s Ras Laffan LNG complex, which handles 30% of the world’s helium, is estimated to take 3 to 5 years to repair. Helium is critical for semiconductors and MRI machines. That’s not a disruption. That’s structural damage. Chemical and steel manufacturers are imposing surcharges of up to 30%. Analysts are warning of permanent deindustrialisation. European gas storage was at just 30% after a harsh winter. If the strait stays restricted through summer, Europe can’t refill for next winter. In Ireland, fuel protests shut down Dublin for four days. The army was deployed. Over 100 fuel stations ran dry, with warnings of 500 by end of the week. Downing Street has held talks on the potential for mass protests here. The OECD has downgraded the UK more than any other G7 nation. Growth slashed from 1.2% to 0.7%. Inflation forecast nearly doubled to 4%, with some saying it could breach 5%. Starmer and Trump spoke this week about military options to reopen the strait. The UK is leading a 30+ nation coalition. But the ceasefire is already fracturing. Iran re-closed the strait over Israeli strikes on Lebanon. Reeves is boxed in by fiscal rules. Higher gilt yields are eating her headroom. And I haven’t heard a credible plan from anyone in Westminster. Energy. Food. Fertiliser. Aviation fuel. Mortgages. Industrial chemicals. Semiconductors. Shipping. Government borrowing. Political stability. All under stress. All compounding. This country imports 44% of its energy. Has almost no gas storage. Imports most of its food and fertiliser. Gets a quarter of its jet fuel from behind a mined strait. Every structural weakness built up over 20 years is being stress tested at once. The next three months aren’t going to be uncomfortable. They’re going to be defining

@EmCeeH0 @arenella1 What codswallop. The only thing stopping our bills going insane is the green energy . I’m getting paid 4p a kWh tonight because of today sun and tonight’s wind .

@arenella1 Narrator: “what they were really pissed about is that Trump is calling their bluff on green energy and crashing their economies.” Hahhaahahahahahahahahahahagahahahahaha

Last night, one of my friends who works for an intelligence service in France, called me to vent about Trump. To sum up his observations: 1] European leaders expected a shit show because of their insider knowledge about all of Trump's flaws. But, Trump's willingness to start a

@BarackObama @NASAArtemis How refreshing to hear someone talk presidentially.

What the Artemis II astronauts did over the last 10 days was a testament to their bravery. And the fact that they traveled farther from Earth than anyone ever has, re-entered our atmosphere at more than 24,000 mph, and splashed down safely was a testament to human ingenuity. Thanks to everyone at @NASA for making this mission possible, and for taking us along for the ride.

@JohannaNyman5 @TedUrchin Spoiler : That is not the worst thing he’s done …

I never thought I’d see a U.S. president and vice president actively back a European leader caught collaborating with the Kremlin at the expense of Europe’s security. That will forever be the legacy of Trump and Vance in Europe. We will not forget.

Does anyone want to guess which 'eligible citizens' are going to be on the Draft list, and which won't? Now that Palantir and the US Government can use AI to categorise individuals by political views, who is making up the list of 'eligible citizens'? independent.co.uk/news/world/ame…

The desperation is obvious. Backing a compromised government in Hungary while sending a VP to parrot talking points in what looked like a coordinated propaganda stunt reminiscent of Soviet Russia, and days before Hungarians go to the polls, should, embarrass anyone who still believes in American values. It’s election interference that reeks of alignment with Russia, period.

I woke up this morning questioning my every moral standings. I found myself in an absolute panic. It’s not about trump anymore, it’s about us. Are we the most immoral of people in the world to allow this to continue? Trump should be dragged out of the White House.

We fought and lost a war in Iran so that both the Iranians and the Russians could make far more money from oil—the Iranians from tolls, the Russians from higher prices and the end of sanctions. That isn’t just strategic defeat; it’s self-destructive foolishness at a level unknown to military history.

Allies? What does Hungary do for the US? Or do you mean your personal ally and his and your personal prosperity? Trying to buy Hungarian votes with American taxpayer money on Putin's orders may be a new low for Trump, at least until he surpasses it tomorrow.

@Teoyaomiquu Sometimes, the most obvious answer, is the right one.....

Can someone explain what's the interest of the USA in Hungary? Orban is a pro russian politician, Orban is demanding that Hungary buys only Russian energy products, refusing to diversify and buy American ones. It's like everything against American interests.
