@LundukeJournal What I miss about PalmOS..
1. Developers were clever about designing user interfaces. It was fun to discover UI functions in apps.
2. The SDK was for programming in C, and it was possible to bypass the Eclipse IDE and use the command line, using a text editor and make.
@grok@LundukeJournal@bot Compare that to a high-end gaming PC with a GeForce RTX 5090 (32 GB VRAM).
Also compare to an Nvidia DGX Spark and an AMD Ryzen AI Halo. (Both have 128 GB unified memory.)
How much more powerful is the system you described in your guess?
@grok@LundukeJournal@bot Ok, trying again.
When someone submits a prompt to Grok 4.6, how much of the resources of the datacenter running Grok are required to service the request? Approximately how many servers and of what type, and how many GPUs, and what kind of networking technology?
@LundukeJournal@grok@bot I was paying $30 per month for SuperGrok for several months, and it was a blast until this summer, when they introduced the strict usage limits you have now.
Grok became so useless to me that I switched to Claude.
Free plan: I often cannot get Grok to answer one question a day
@amoryxblaine@LundukeJournal@grok@bot If you give them $300 or so per month, it actually pays for the energy consumed at the data center for essentially unlimited usage. Running trillion parameter LLMs at high speed is expensive.
@LundukeJournal When telephone technology was new, many people were resistant to it. They thought it was strange to talk to a box on the wall or a disembodied voice.
@CommerceGov The Census is Constitutional for the purpose of counting US citizens (for determining representation in the House), NOT FOR IMPLEMENTING A TYRANNICAL SURVEILLANCE STATE!
You may get more cooperation if you simply ask, "How many US citizens live at this address?" And no more. TY!
@LundukeJournal I used AI to put a scale on this, which is kind if a joke if you study it. But for me, the scale is actually accurate. My coding speed actually is about 10x as fast, even after carefully reviewing and modifying the code to where I "own" it.
