What does AI have to do with this?

“has died” is one way of saying “crashed his Ferrari at a high rate of speed, killing his passenger as well as himself.”

I have no desire to run an LLM on my laptop when I can run one on a computer the size of six football fields.

The point is that when you run it on your own hardware you can feed the model your health data, bank statements and private journals and can be 5000% sure they’re not going anywhere

Regular people don't understand nor care about any of that. They'll happily take the Faustian bargain.

It only needs one highly public breach and there's going to be a full-on business for someone selling a local-only AI processor for homes.

Combine it with a media player like an Apple TV or Nvidia Shield and people might buy it.

I've been playing around with my own home-built AI server for a couple months now. It is so much better than using a cloud provider. It is the difference between drag racing in your own car, and renting one from a dealership. You are going to learn far more doing things yourself. Your tools will be much more consistent and you will walk away with a far greater understanding of every process.

A basic last-generation PC with something like a 3060ti (12GB) is more than enough to get started. My current rig pulls less than 500w with two cards (3060+5060). And, given the current temperature outside, the rig helps heat my home. So I am not contributing to global warming, water consumption, or any other datacenter-related environmental evil.

Unless you normally use electric resistance heating (or some kind of fossil fuel with higher gCO2/kWh) then you don't get necessarily a free pass on the global warming thing!

Our whole home is heated with <500W on average: at this moment the heat pump is drawing 501W (H4 boundary) at close to freezing outside, and its demand is intermittent.

> I am not contributing to global warming

lol

This policy will be in place for about 2-3 more years at which point it will be excluding almost everything, at which point it will be reversed

That’s the most legible font for people with impaired vision, which is a completely different concept

I'm replying to the comment saying "you need glasses" to say that the best font for people that need glasses is free.

Important context is that this was his first wife, his childhood sweetheart who was already terminally ill with tuberculosis when they married. He was also working on the Manhattan Project at the time; while there were, no doubt, warm bodies around, some of them radioactive, this wasn’t either of his later two marriages.

Hi, do you have a reference for this? I think you may have misunderstood the timeline.
