  • And what hardware is that, exactly? Speaking as someone with what I’d consider to be a pretty decent homelab, I can’t self host the kind of AI that I use for work, not without literally emptying my savings into the hardware and energy needs. AI is already expected and required in my job, so the only move forward is to give elon money for access to cursor, which my company is already doing. If the company were to self-host, they’d prolly still use one of those shiny new datacenters since there’s real value in offloading hardware ownership to a third party, meaning those never go away and they still dictate the cost of using AI. I have a hard time believing this will happen in most companies simply because they already shelled out tons of money for SAAS software that has been self-hostable for over a decade, so why would you think they’d stop and think “hmm maybe we could cut costs by taking over the hosting and maintenance of the AI ourselves”?

    I think we’re at least a decade away from having user-accessible hardware for AI that doesn’t break the bank. I don’t think we have a decade to spare, however.







  • Bro your post essentially argues to blanket list everyone from a community as having X arbitrary opinions you came up with, and to use this list to limit these peoples’ movements through society. Also that last sentence is a load of bullshit when we’re all having to live with the US (and Israel) doing whatever the fuck it wants with the world while nobody does shit about it.


  • People attacking the .ml people for organizing while under pressure from the biggest worldwide alt right push in our generation is the funniest shit to me. God forbid the leftists start thinking collectively, you saw what happened to the donald? We’re currently fucked by all that chicanery but heavens forbid you start thinking in the opposite direction too much, wouldn’t want to get out of the right wing mess that we’re living through, least of all if we put in place all those policies my right wing propaganda says are evil. Yeah this is so seruious that we should definitely all quickly jump into being right wing surveillance states to prevent the leftists from doing something about us all eating massive amounts of shit right now.





  • My desktop has 96gb ddr5 and 8tb of nvme, my laptop has 96gb ddr5 and 4tb nvme, my nas has 128gb ddr4 and 16 used 20tb drives that I got for $200 each, my virtualization mini pc has 64gb ddr4… I put excessive amounts of RAM and storage even on my routers. I feel like a silo/bunker owner in a post-apocalyptic movie.





  • As someone with 0 tattoos but who wants tattoos, I think the bar for those kinds of tats is if the moments you’re signifying through the tattoo have truly defined or been a significant part of your life. I think even though we all change, it’s fine to acknowledge what’s happened in our past in an artistic manner on our bodies. For instance, I learned English playing Zelda & other video games, I’ve played them for decades, so I would consider a tattoo of Nintendo IP, even though I want nothing more than for the entire company to spontaneously combust. My love for the Zelda IP is bigger than my hate for Nintendo, and I have no qualms holding both feelings at once. Such hatred, at least for me, stems from them butchering our childhood memories, after all.

    The style of the tattoo might be harder to nail for me, because sure I might want a Legend of Zelda tattoo or something, but I could make something classy and timeless or I could make the worst recreation of AI marketing hallucination content imaginable and regret the ink as it gets injected into me. If I have no taste, I could very quickly regret my tattoo… And that’s why I still have no tats. I’ve seen how I make bases & houses in video games, I don’t trust my artistic choices.
