@bavedikian@RMBee@BestBuy@FedEx Small claims court. I had an issue with Best Buy selling an open box 4090 that they shipped to me. No GPU chip. They denied my return. Bank denied my dispute. Had police report. But once I asked Best Buy for their legal entity name for small claims court they issued a full refund
Some quick numbers for those that are tracking AI performance for local LLM. The base PC, 9950X3D, 96GB DDR5, 4TB 9100 Samsung nvme, testing RTX6000 Pro MaxQ 96GB VRAM = Loads 120b OSS Model all in VRAM. vLLM performance 178t/s and 172t/s with LMStudio with 4bit and 8,192 context window.
The Zotac AMP Extreme RTX 5090 32GB at 30b parameter with same system, 272t/s but only 38t/s if using the 120b model due to it only loading partial in GPU VRAM and rest in system. @nvidia
This might just be the biggest scandal and conspiracy in American history. Many heroes were involved in bringing this to light. Some we can name in coming days. Some who want no recognition. And there’s much more to this yet to be told.

I am nailing Nine Theses to the door of @Wikipedia. This has been my project for the last nine months. There has never been a thoroughgoing Wikipedia reform proposal—this is the first. If it doesn't work, we need to organize an alternative. 🧵
Words do not adequately convey my feelings after coming online tonight to see the news of the assassination of Charlie Kirk. My thoughts and prayers are with his family and friends. Charlie was a man who walked with Christ first and who's moral compass guided his politics.
Woke justice. Seattle Judge sentenced a non-violent 55 year old father to 11 years in State prison (a sentence more than twice as harsh as people who commit Incest!) for objecting to his son's coerced Covid vaccine. Why? Wrong race, wrong gender & wrong politics. #benshoof
President Trump is calling for an extension of Daylight Saving Time into winter. Permanent DST would endanger morning commuters with 8am or later sunrise for 2-5 months. We need to end clock change with permanent Standard Time instead!
Everyone needs to see this. @TheVinoMom explains how some private equity groups are purchasing up HVAC companies that are small businesses & their likeness and giving the illusion they are still a small business.
They then allow people to finance their exorbitantly high new costs which now appear to be price fixed amongst the competition because they also own the competition and in the agreement signed it allows them to exercise a clause which has a lien on your home and attempt to take your home from you.
Remember when we all said the Frank/Dodd Act was a sham written by Wall Street post the Lehman collapse & financial crisis of 2008 that only made them more powerful? We weren’t kidding.
@economyninja Have you heard of "Back Floating Rate Debt" that VC's are using to destroy both businesses and pensions in America? This is another piece of the puzzle for you that explains WHY there have been so many bankruptcies and adds to the pension implosion that is coming.
🚨 THE NEXT 2008 IS HAPPENING NOW 🚨
Party City. Joann’s. Forever 21. Big Lots. ALL COLLAPSING.
But this isn’t just “retail struggling.” This is financial arson.
Private equity rigged the system. They built a time bomb. And now? It’s detonating.

So today on @CNBC@SquawkCNBC they used the term "March Sadness" and talked about consumer buying activity. So let's call this what it is - an impatient jab at the economy (and shameless search for eyeballs) as the US markets and economy adjust to MUCH NEEDED changes. By the way, March is not and has not EVER been a significant consumer buying season - not with taxes due in a few weeks... C'mon folks...
TRUST THE PROCESS.
The big Unions working to push the PRO Act and the state level variants are abject evil
Trump must issue an EO guaranteeing the right of individuals to be independent sole proprietors and the right to work without having to join a union
