My interest in anything associated with geohot took a colossal nose dive today after seeing this post against democracy, quoting frelling M*ncius M*ldbug: Democracy is a Liability. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47469543 https://geohot.github.io//blog/jekyll/update/2026/03/21/demo... Theres a lot there that makes sense & I think needs to be considered. But a lot just seems to be out of the blue, included withou…
There's some irony in the fact that this website reads as extremely NOT AI-generated, very human in the way it's designed and the tone of its writing. Still, this is a great idea, and one I hope takes off. I think there's a good argument that the future of AI is in locally-trained models for everyone, rather than relying on a big company's own model. One thought: The ability to conveniently get this onto a 240v circu…
Maybe the volume for them is ok that well-intentioned but poor quality PRs can be politely(or otherwise, culture depending) disregarded and the method of generation is not important.
What’s the most effective ~$5k setup today? Interested in what people are actually running.
Surprising to see this with AMD GPUs considering how George famously threw up his hands as AMD not being worth working with.
Yeah, and labeling AMD "Driver Quality" as "Good" (for comparison, they label nvidia's driver quality as "Great").
Are we at the point where 2x 9070XT's are a viable LLM platform? (I know this has 4, just wondering for myself).
I almost sure it’s possible to custom build a machine as powerful as their red v2 within 9k budget. And have a lot of fun along the way.

DGX Spark is a fantastic option at this price point. You get 128GB VRAM which is extremely difficult to get at this price point. Also it’s a fairly fast GPU. And stupidly fast networking - 200gbps or 400gbps mellanox if you find coin for another one.
For 5K one can get a desktop PC with RTX 5090, that has 3x more compute, but 4x less VRAM - so depending on the workload may be a better option.

A typical U.S. 240V circuit is actually just two 120V circuits. Fairly trivial to rewire for that.
Can confirm.
IDK, I feel it’s quite overpriced, even with the current component prices. I almost sure it’s possible to custom build a machine as powerful as their red v2 within 9k budget. And have a lot of fun along the way.
