@UnusualReadings @hecubian_devil It’s not weird. Your reality has been distorted by screens for so long that you are losing touch with your innate human nature.

@hecubian_devil Lmao triumph over what?
This guy definitely has psycho energy but he makes a valid point. It's just a continuation of the adage, "Don't talk to strangers". It's not polite.
Some guy comes up and asks me about coconut water?
I think that's weird! Leave me alone!

Tbh stuff like this is why I believe—absent an aggressive regulatory regime—LLMs will triumph
We’ve been on a steady trajectory for decades of seeing all social interaction as zero-sum, laborious demands on your time/energy/mental health. More people subscribe to more extreme versions of this idea every day. No, not *you*, of course. You’re still normal, if you insist.
But the trendline is obvious and has been obvious for a long time, and so the prospect of finally replacing human social interaction entirely with a simulation that gives you exactly what you want whenever you want it, and which demands nothing in return—indeed, which lacks subjectivity and ceases to exist when you aren’t looking at it—will be too compelling for most to resist. It’s the perfect culmination of where we’ve been heading for decades. There’s no reason to believe we’ll stop before we get there, unless there’s a collective democratic effort to prevent total social annihilation.

@twistedmatrices @alexocheema @exolabs I wish I would not have purchased a 24GB RAM base M4 last year. It’s perfect for music production, but has Thunderbolt 4.
English

PSA: If you have multiple macbooks that support RDMA, you can cluster them using @exolabs and run 30B+ models at 70 tok/s over thunderbolt5. tensor parallelism on consumer hardware is a solved problem. you are renting GPUs that are worse than the laptop on your couch. 2X M4 Max(64GB each) running mlx-community/Qwen3-30B-A3B-4bit @ 70 TPS

@uncledoomer The "fix everything button" for printers is not owning one because they are the machinations of Satan.
English

there really is a "fix everything right now" button for buying a printer and its been the same for 20 years

Nathan Halberstadt 🧊@NatHalberstadt
I really need a printer that has zero screen, wifi, or bluetooth connection. I just want to be able to plug a usb cord printer --> computer Hit print, and have it actually work every time

let me get you started in local AI and bring you to the edge.
if you have a GPU or thinking about diving into the local LLM rabbit hole, first thing you do before any setup is join x/LocalLLaMA. this is the community that will help you at every step. post your issue and we will direct you, debug with you, and save you hours of work.
once you're in, follow these three:
@TheAhmadOsman the oracle. this is where you consume the latest edges in infrastructure and AI. if something dropped you hear it from him first. his content alone will keep you ahead of most.
@0xsero one man army when it comes to model compression, novel quantization research, new tools and tricks that make your local setup better. you will learn, experiment, and discover things you didn't know existed.
@Teknium maker of Hermes Agent, the agent i use every day from @NousResearch. from Teknium you don't just stay at the frontier, you get your hands on the tools before everyone else. this is where things are headed.
if you follow me follow these three and join the community. you will be ahead of most people in this space. if you run into wrong configs, stuck debugging hardware, or can't get a model to load, post there so we can help.
get started with local AI now. not only understand the stack but own your cognition. don't pay openai fees on top of giving them your prompts, your research, and your most valuable thinking to be monitored and metered.
buy a GPU and build your own token factory.

@BeyondFest We'll support independent when it's good. This. Is. Not. Good. So said the people who booed at the screening Thursday night.

@BarbourBurner I once saw Action Bronson beat up a security guard protecting the stage at his own gig. He dngaf.

@JamesXiang17 @RoundtableSpace I have a weird issue where it seems to “pre-think” before outputting any reasoning traces and final answer. The token generation is pretty fast once it starts.
English

@RoundtableSpace My Mac runs Qwen3.5 models ridiculously slow in LMstudio or Ollama. It only runs super fast in MLX. How did you make your Qwen model run so smoothly on LM studio?

@_The_Wub_ I remember Vice did a pretty good article about O9A in around 2015, which was my first exposure to them. Before that, I believe the mainstream myth that satanists were just quirky atheists standing up for our 1st amendment rights.

@dhenry__ @rarenathan If I was a dictator these people would be in work camps.

@rarenathan Imagine if he knew there was grown adults using his name for fan accounts on here

@Steven_Hyden I was never a huge fan, but I saw the WS in concert once and they put on an amazing show. He also played a show in the parking lot in front of a dry cleaners a block from my place in Portland.

@Mangan150 I’d rather do two Norwegian 4x4s per week to get the added benefit of reduced visceral fat to go along with the V02 max benefits. It’s not so bad once you get into the routine.

@Sam_Vecenie David Kahn? Johnny Flynn David Kahn? My old neighbor David Kahn?
English

Also: Paris Basketball's last two coaches, Tuomas Iisalo and Tiago Splitter, are both now NBA head coaches.
The brain trust with Paris, including James Newman as GM and David Kahn as president, have done an amazing job of identifying killer coaches and building infrastructure.

(On-court is less important than the arrests, but I will just note: The Blazers are better without Billups than with him, IMO. Splitter was really good last year with Paris I thought. Good hire by Portland to bring him in.)
