@Fuck Bankers yeah maybe after another trillion dollars of investment, it will reach the accuracy of something with 150-200khz processing speed from the early 1970s

Have you ever used one of these LLMs lol. They write fresh material like a mediocre freshman trying to impress the professor. Their strong suit is in acting as an editor, suggesting improvements of something already created

while waiting for it to collapse.
Again, they aren't OpenAI. Anybody can run their stuff on their own computer without paying anybody. There's nothing that'll be lost if they go under, as long as everything on their github is downloaded and spread, which you can bet it already has been. The Chinesium has officially beat the US-Israelium, anyways. That is embarassing.
 
I personally do not give a fuck if cartels start murdering illegal migrants once they get deported to spicland.

They are not U.S citizens and once they are no longer in the U.S it is none of our business what happens to them.

If Mexico cares they can confront the cartels.
I'm worried more about the gun-challenged, ignorant citizens who live in cartel infested cities without knowing it. The stuff going on in Aurora, CO woke people up to it, but they tried to memory hole the shit out of that story. I have trust in the federal government, ICE, and the Army more than ever. I do not have trust in the State Level dipshits who are more concerned with optics than safety. Gavin Newsom, Jared Polis (Colorado's first jew governor who is insanely pro illegal), all these people who will clearly sweep cartel and gang activity under the rug and ignore their citizens.
 
"All my people are getting attacked..."
Can she even speak Spanish? They're not her people, she's American. Everyone like her is fine. Where are the tears for "her people" being used as cheap labor by businesses? Get real.
She means alcoholics, you see. Many a tequila lover in the crowds being sent back!
 
How long before we hear about discharges or requests for one? I doubt any of these folks have been in there for long enough to retire.
“Unit cohesion requires high levels of integrity and stability among service members.”

Ok now that we have established that, give all the boys their sex-segregated activities back.
I have to believe that’s Trump’s next target if he gets that far.
i thought i wouldn't need to tell anyone, but that's obviously not the real barron trump.

Does the guy even have any social media presence?
 
Mark Felton (great WW2 YouTuber and actual historian) made a video about the Greenland stuff, mainly going over how the UK apparently has a say in the Greenland deal with Denmark and the US since 1917.
Hasn't Mark kind of been a leftie sperg in the past? Or am I mixing him up with someone else? History tubers are dime a dozen. I'm impressed if this is a balanced discussion.
 
What are the odds the cartel are going to start raising hell in Sanctuary Cities? The most migrant infested places with the most castrated police forces. The cartel's operating strategy is to infiltrate areas and then use fear to rule. This doesn't work as well in the US as most areas are full of armed citizens and police. Sanctuary cities are allowing migrants in droves and usually have the most strict gun laws. I see the cartel trying things out of desperation if the shooting starts and they start getting rounded up.

Something to be concerned about if you are in a Sanctuary City. Better safe than sorry. Trump would surely send troops as fast as possible, but the wait before they arrive can be life or death. I'm considering skipping town for a bit if things get rough, as we have a shit ton of illegals here and no doubt a cartel presence.
While the Cartels only know one language -- violence -- I don't see them causing trouble in the useful idiot's backyards. That just risks shattering the conditioning or building enough resistance to push the issue. It's more likely they target illegals or the latino community to try and make ICE has no friends.

Where does it show the VRAM needed? I'm seeing the file size, but not how much VRAM is needed.
The file needs to be loaded into VRAM to be processed at full speed.

It's takes a bit of math to figure out. The (Number)B bit is your main point of reference. Calculator for this. Not an expert, someone can explain it better than me. If you don't know, you most likely aren't going to be able to run the 70B, 32B, or even 14B models on your own system.
From the page I linked earlier:

From your calculator:

I could be wrong here. I must be, cause of people talking about using this mammoth thing. But according to your calculator you need a video card with 806 to 1611 GB of VRAM or combined VRAM + System RAM. Either way, unless I have an absolutely absurd misunderstanding, I don't see how people are running this without renting server hardware.
 
And all the dealers you see with 40 year prison sentences? 90% of them are people who were still on probation having been released early so dealing naturally sees them resume their sentence. If you're on probation you should be fucking grateful you're outside of a prison wall and shouldn't be acting like a stupid nigger and dealing when it's incredibly obvious who is getting what from who.

Usual ladder of brown in effect. Much more annoying than whites or asians, but better than thug nogs. African nogs are harmless but always late and slow.
I'll say this - the very best Africans I've met are Ethiopians (ancient Christians) and Nigerians (dogged pursuance of higher education, very professional)

I've worked with brilliant American blacks and find largely the best and brightest come from the south, but that may just be because there's a much larger black population there.

The worst blacks are islanders. Haitians are the dumbest rockbrained fucks of them all but very little positive can be said for the other island dwellers.

Yeah I remember after the Trump mugshot he quickly made a half assed video about Nazi mugshots. Like wow real clever there Mark.

His videos are still decent though. And I’m used to Brits being arrogant twats.

Yeah I had the similar experience (haven’t encountered Haitians) but the few Ethiopians I’ve met were generally nice well spoken people.

Honestly just someone’s speaking patterns tells you a lot about them. Said Ethiopians spoke clearly with a pleasant cadence. Where poor Island Africans speak with obnoxious mush mouth slang. Obviously it just means that the Ethiopians who land in America have decent upbringings and education. If you’re raised in slums well it’s insanely difficult to not be trashy.

Highly unlikely. The cartels are likely talking with their government contacts now.

They do not want a real confrontation against anyone with more than a few handguns and some knives. Economic warfare with the US military is not on their menu. Talking probably sounds good.
 
I just realized the Dot-Com Bubble and subsequent collapse was 25 years ago. There's an entire new generation set up for the same scam.

I recall $300m IPOs for companies that hired or were started by cokeheads and/or furries/weebs on the cusp of web 1.0, who produced literally nothing. Less than nothing, they took from companies that had actual business models and wanted to try this "Intar-net" and "Information super-highway" and "World Wide Web (is that a thing like my Compuserve?)". Launch parties where new laptops were the goodie bag/door gift (I have a couple, I think, in my storage unit in the midwest still), companies that would Delta Dash in milkshakes from their favorite diner a thousand miles away, shit like that. It really was the denouement of the decade long party that was 1990-2000.

Do you think the Millennials and Gen Z are dumb enough to fall for it too? Genuinely asking.
 
Am I missing something here? You need near as much VRAM as the size of the model, and those R1 models are 500-750 Gigabytes in size. I suspect we'll jump up stupidly rapidly in the near future for consumer hardware -- 16 terabytes of ram, 1-2 terabytes of VRAM, etc -- but we're sure as snot not there yet...
You can either run these models in ram and with the cpu, which is slower, or in a gpu clusters, to pool their vram IIRC.
That's why i see people recommend Mac Studios since the ram/vram is unified and offers a much larger pool at speeds faster than normal ram.
Besides that, I don't know much on how to run LLMs
