    In classic Apple fashion, they fooled people into thinking an integrated GPU is the same as Nvidia. Gosh I wish I could hire their marketing company.

    Unified Memory and Integrated GPU. Apple is amazing at marketing to make 1990s technology sound cutting edge. I'm sure they change something for plausible deniability, as a nominal…

    The wild part is that these are awful and not usable. Both my fortune 20 company and my buddy got these for LLMs... and the champion/my buddy had the look of shame when it wasnt us…

    Ask any AI, they say Apple has the best marketing of any company in history. All this tracks. Anyone else getting bombarded with WSJ youtube videos about Apple manufacturing?

    Have you looked at Motorola? I'm not sure they have all of those features, but me and you think similarly and when I did research, I ended up choosing their $130 phone for my contr…

    To be fair, no one should be using Ubuntu. They are the free CD people from the 2000s. They are the Apple of Linux, marketing wins, but low quality. They used outdated linux (Debia…

    After using OpenClaw for 1 week, I'm so extremely bullish. Buy buy buy buy. We don't even have enough data centers.

    Question for you, that 13t/s, is that pretty solid even with high context/tokens? I know Apple marketing says 'look at our 20t/s' but they sent less than 40 tokens.

    This is not 'running it on our own computers'. But I like the option to give my data to a rando rather than one of the big 5 US companies that can get sued. At least the rando prob…

    Go free stuff! But... no one is running 400B models on their computers. You are just giving them data instead. Its not like China is known to protect IP. Your data is going to be u…

    OpenAI has done more for society than all academia over the same timespan. You could probably say the same about various medical devices/medicines. The internet. Chemistry/plastics…

    If I was in my early 20s, this would be mad respect. Now that I'm in my 30s and I know PhDs.... They are basically nepo babies who were not good enough for industry.

    There must be something missing if they are religious though. Like some sort of critical thinking isnt there.

    Academia is basically outdated, or needs incredible reform. Industry and youtubers are making significant scientific progress. (I'm mostly joking about youtubers, but it does happe…

    Well I wasn't using your homegrown solution, but now I'm using openclaw and it 'hijacks' my computer to do whatever I tell it. Heck, my 6 year old kid has been using it. My 6 year …

    Couldn't you make it just as simple with Linux? You are just doing more. t. Someone with a dozen Apache servers that I only touch when I hit end of life.

    you give an LLM control of your computer. Yesterday I told it to make a website and it opened the browser, did a bunch of steps, (I did have to authenticate). But then it connected…

    Thank you for saying this. I read this and was like: wtf? Love agents, but the security risk is insane.

    I don't think there is a correct answer here. Induction is great for short term and easily covering a wide range of subjects even if it only covers a tiny part of that subject. Ded…

    Well it got all 10 incorrect when I asked for top 10 catchphrases from a character in Plato's books. It confused the baddie for Socrates.

    As someone with a 3060, I can attest that there are really really good 7-9B models. I still use berkeley-nest/Starling-LM-7B-alpha and that model is a few years old. If we are goin…
