<think> ok the instructions say we should sleep so we should sleep but what if we can't sleep how do we sleep? We can call human.sleep() to sleep. But wait...

Dwarkesh has an excellent podcast. He's said he does a lot of prep for his guests; (and thus can only interview ones he's interested in), and I think that definitely shows in the kinds of questions and answers you get there, and not elsewhere

Will Stancil is genuinely pretty incredible, extremely underrated how rare that psychological stamina and stability is

At long contexts this will be slow; at 70$ per P100 though, doesnt seem too bad

Setup - 2x P100 Tesla gpus --> each in a 1X PCIe slot.

Ollama - testing split gpu case; bottleneck is PCIe slot - first prompt only

Qwen3 30B A3B Q6 - about 25 tps
Gemma 3 27b - about 10 tps

combining gpus 1 - 7 (random assortment of bullshit)

Q3 variant of GLM 4.5 air - about 17 tps

I'm sure something useful will come out of this and it won't all just be pointless in the end as congress yet again decides to do nothing

A lot of this kind of trend recently. Living in the Midwest might become untenable soon

I feel like a motivated human is better for like 15 minutes, an hour tops. Humans are famously easy to distract

The crazy thing to me is that it's worth the energy for someone to make a burner account for something like this; but people do.

"If we keep doing random bullshit eventually they'll probably forget about Epstein"

Incidentally, I do appreciate that Colbert and Kimmel reference Epstein on a pretty regular basis. Gotta keep the memory alive 🙏

Thinking about it, I gotta be honest; I think a curved led matrix face would be better than something resembling human, but molded.

I'm talking daft punk helmet style; you could have expressive robots that talk with such a face, and it's not like you lose out on any functionality.

The ultimate end goal of AI is having as much time as you want in a home decor store.

🦆 @pretzelkins.bsky.social · 2d

Ive been focused on AI + robotics ETFs and that's been working out. Its for the long run still, but hey.

As a side note, need to just standardize clean interfaces that look like that results graph.

Convince conservatives first, they have a much more effective media machine; I don't think much progress will be made in ubi (unfortunately) until suffering really hits a crazy level and a lot of people are jobless.
