First encounter with geohot eh?

It seems that you work a lot with managers who have no clue what they are buying and why. I mean, you're not wrong: buying enterprise software from Oracle or Microsoft or Salesforce is pure pain. But nobody expects buying niche hardware from a tiny vendor to involve the usual 128 pre/post sale meetings and 256 hours of professional services. Also, relevant VP buying these things usually do understand the difference b…
> It seems that you work a lot with managers who have no clue what they are buying and why. There are certain quirks of this platform's user base that always make me laugh. For example, HNers absolutely love to imply something condescending about the other guy's workplace in order to make their point. Watch this, I can do it too: Working with managers who make $65,000 (or $10 million) purchases with no more due dilig…
And I honestly see almost no correlation between the amount of negotiation involved, and value received.
Some of the most useful things we've integrated were either free or meant that only the "buy it now" button had to be clicked.
Some of the absolutely worst systems I had to work with were purchased after making a call to that "let us know" number.
This tiny guy is mostly saying that he doesnt have the time for enterprise bla-bla. I am not sure he can organise enterprise sales with this attitude but can definitely relate to it!

folks have too much money than sense, gpt-oss-120b full quant runs on my quad 3090 at 100tk/sec and that's with llama.cpp, with vllm it will probably run at 150tk/sec and that's without batching.
How're you fitting a model made for 80 gig cards onto a GPU with 24 gigs at full quant?

The YouTube rap video of geohotz telling Sony lawyers suing him to blow him is still up.
His style of dealing with corporate matters is certainly unconventional

I was more worried by the 600kW power requirement... that's 200 houses at full load (3kw) in southern europe... which likely means 400 houses at half load. the town near my hometown has 650 – 800 houses (according to chatgpt). crazy.
Or it's two 300kW fast EV chargers working together. A typical home just consumes rather little energy, now that LED lighting and heat pump cooling / heating became the norm.
My brother in Christ, you vastly overestimate southern europe

> at full load (3kw) Do you live in a deprived rural village in a very poor country? Because you can't even run a heater and the oven with 3kW.
Most power contracts give you 3 kwh power supply for residential home. That’s the standard.
Bumping to 4.5 or 6kwh must be required explicitly and costs and extra on the base power supply bill
