The Epstein class likes ass, and have arranged ours to be over a barrel.

This reckless spending is intentional, likely promoted by Thiel. He wants to kill the United States, so that he and his fellow ghouls can feast upon the rotting remains.

That Pez cartridge should be bullet shaped.

I am using a 5950x, with 128gb of DDR4 3600 memory. The GPUs are a 3060 and 4090, totaling 36gb of VRAM. IMO, being bottlenecked by the CPU is definitely a thing, it just comes third after the VRAM and RAM considerations.

With a 35b+3a MoE at Q8 with KV8, I get…

[11:54:32] CtxLimit:18858/262144, Init:0.18s, Processed:17294 in 7.66s (2259.18T/s), Generated:1564/32768 in 29.01s (53.91T/s), Total:36.85s

Speed depends on how much of the model is on VRAM, and the dense/MoE architecture of that model. The RAM’s benefit is more about having the ability to run the model in the first place. In any case, a dense Qwen3.6 27b would take up about 27-33gb-ish of memory, plus whatever context size you set.

Upcoming implementation of MTP will increase the size of models, but in exchange, they will also run faster. About a 30%ish boost for dense models, a bit less for Mixture of Expert varieties, from the looks of it.

Honestly, that is one of the few saving graces of the entire situation. It will make it much easier for genuine resistance to succeed, if only because these evil bastards are innately clumsy.

I like AI, and encourage its adoption by people. However, I am 100% certain that AI hasn’t prevented school shootings. In fact, I will go as far to say that the Trump administration has solely used it to harm people, schoolchildren included. We got bloodied backpacks proving that.

Kash stinks.

You can use something like KoboldCPP on Linux, which allows both RAM and VRAM combined to run a model. O’course, not as fast when compared to pure VRAM or the Mac approach, but it is an option. I use my 128gb RAM with some GPUs for running models.

I think that expanding the court should work a certain way, but to preface: I am assuming that the US is broken into four major cooperative territories, each with a president, with their own regional courts and executives. However, there would also be a figurehead president elected by the regional presidents, whose vote is confirmed by their regional voters. The figurehead represents national policy and acts as a face for it.

00000

The national court draws 4 justices from each region’s court system, and has an additional justice appointed by each president. These only lasting while that executive holds office. This means 16 national justices that are chosen by their judiciaries, and 5 appointed by executives. 21 in all.

Toss in term and age limits. We want age limits to prevent mental degradation or the social stratification that comes from age. Term limits help ensure that justices can’t remain too long, inviting corruption. I would say 10 years is reasonable for the judiciary justices. The executive justices picked by a president can’t have more than two terms for this position, so they can last up to 8 years if picked twice by presidents. This should allow for a reasonable amount of ‘churn’ in viewpoints, while still allowing the supreme court to have coherence.

The checks and balances comes from different factions - regions and administrations - sending representatives to assert their interests. Hopefully, this prevents the courts from being overly stacked for too long.

Fucking liar, Roberts is.

Ah yes, the fabled “efficiency” of capitalism at work.

Guess that I will try to aim for that position, if I somehow get close enough. I have big ideas about UBI, redefining how work…well, works, and how to make political powers more egalitarian. Unfortunately, I don’t think they could be realistically be implemented without a huge amount of force, be it social, political, or militant.

I want the best future for people, but it feels like it can’t happen without being a complete jerk. 😞

I am on team ‘fulfill projections on them’. I don’t want to start a fight, but I will finish it on terms that don’t suck for me and other decent people.

If blood has to be spilled, it should be conservative.

There was a time when I wanted peace among all Americans. I now no longer consider members of the Dogey to be American, and want to fight a bloody war against them. They are enemies, who wish to murder the innocent and to enslave.

There cannot be peace in our time, because the Dogey are fundamentally evil. Until the cancers of fascism, elitism, and conservatism is removed, all the good people in America will suffer.

Hopefully, I and many others will live to see a better America. Or Americas, as the case may become.

Automatic consequences, too. For example, a president who initiates war (without even declaring it!), has to get congressional approval within 10 days. Failure to secure approval is automatic removal from office, and imprisonment. If thirty days pass without congress forgiving the transgression, execution is carried out, and the general public is permitted to do the deed without punishment.

That sort of thing would make office holders much more reluctant to abuse their stations.
