I started using Twitter more actively quite recently actually, and yeah, you can make it work well.
You just have to:
1. Follow the accounts posting interesting content.
2. Whenever you see anything that’s not interesting to you, you click the three dots on the card and select “not interesting to me”.
You can train your feed very quickly this way, and I can say Twitter is mostly valuable for me now.

#13Very unusual specs on paper. - Air cooling 6x4090 and a 32 core CPU for sustained peak workloads. - 3200W total power when a single 4090 can draw close to 600W. Maybe they are targeting startups who aren't interested in overclocking.
This thing could run off a single US outlet (1600W) with some throttling, if I'm not mistaken?
Shame it wasn't designed for EU sockets. 230V*16A = 3700W, or double that on separate breakers!

I think the plan with this all along was George went off and built exactly what he thinks he needs for his specific work and then just makes it available. So is the wildly underpowered CPU bad? I don't know, I don't know his use case.
It also seems just weird from a business point of view. He's not going to sell many, he's not going to offer support, he's not at a scale where vendors are going to offer much particular support, and despite being absolutely tiny in scale he's still offering two totally different SKUs.

#15https://tinygrad.org/#tinybox Looks like good value, but I wonder if it would get CPU/RAM bottlenecked, especially if you want to train something with a lot of preprocessing in the pipeline. Something comparable I've found with 7x4090 which comes to about $50k, but with much better CPU/RAM (3x CPU, 4x RAM, 5x SSD): https://www.overclockers.co.uk/8pack-supernova-mk3-amd-ryzen...
> 6x PCIe 4.0 x16 (64 GB/s)
Wikipedia [0] states that PCIe 4.0 x16 has a throughput of ~32GB/s, what does the (64 GB/s) indicate on the website, is this just a typo and you have 6x ~32GB/s or does it mean in total you can "only" expect a throughput of 64GB/s all lanes slots combined?
If so, wouldn't you also be bottlenecked by the PCIe bandwidth (when moving data between CPU and GPU)?

A 4090 draws 450W unless you unlock the power limit

Social media sites are the collective equivalent of a "dollar auction"[1] In the dollar auction, each immediate choice isrational, but the overall process inevitably results in you losing value once you've decided to participate. But at each step, you lose more by quitting than by keeping going. Social media is the same, except that it's collective: if you want to keep in touch with certain people, you don't have a c…
> you don't have a choice other than to use the social media site they are using
Hence federated social media. No one’s pretending the current implementations are perfect, but they’re far more interesting than the existing closed platforms.

#18So is the plan for these to quietly update the hardware as better consumer hardware becomes available? This is a really interesting idea but as a small fry I would definitely be building myself if I went this route.

#19They have a real website, why not link to that instead of Twitter?

For me, it required a hard unfollow and sometimes block for anyone talking politics, softer measures for dunking/clickbait/bullshit.
After that, the place is a pretty great with smart engineers talking engineering.
