@mkolken @POTUS That's one way to put it - we can all check the heat map to see what the current rates are. You can't use one number for the country. Look at that - higher where his base lives.

@bradenqmack @TheFreelyAshley My distrust of the media was confirmed on election night of 2020, not from the shutdown or lack of oversight, but from ABC calling it for Biden for a specific area with almost none of the votes in and Trump leading. The math wasn't mathing.

@remarkablepaper $299 with pen _and_ SD card slot and I'd be interested. Alternatively, put a minimum of 128GB of storage on the device. It's 2022, 128GB of Flash is under $10 (retail prices). How about a version 3 that fixes it? 8GB isn't much at all. I have 2.3GB from a single source.

@kailapro2 @Rainmaker1973 There is an abundance of energy, but arbitrary limits on what we're pulling out of the ground decided by committee. Nuclear scare tactics preserve the status quo. There is a legitimate reason for caution, but that is due to the choice of reactors that allow weapons creation.

@phys_ballsocket If you have at least 16GB VRAM, try Codestral 22b on lmstudio for local AI. 48 layers and 2k context should work (slowly). You can do 20k context and fully-load on a 4090 (~40 tok/s). It's not for production use without a license, but I don't see why you can't use it for dev.

@MuskUniverse420 AI connecting curious people to information will kickstart advancements within 5 years. Another issue is funding. It's hard for most to allocate even $5000 to a project. Hardware development needs $100k to succeed. "Intentional radiator" summons the FCC and $20k test fees.

@ID_AA_Carmack @fuglypirate Human brains rewire dynamically. LLMs wire once during training which can take months. FPGAs can rewire while running and have an analog counterpart called an FPAA. Not a lot of manufacturers in that space though. The tech needed for AGI may be under-scaled.
