🏆 Speed + value king. 🖕
2️⃣ @Apple Mac Studio M3 Ultra💰 ~$5,000 | 🚀 8–12 tps | 🍎 Apple macOS & ecosystem w/solid speeds; limited AAA gaming
3️⃣ @NVIDIA DGX Spark (GB10 Blackwell)💰 $4,699 | 🚀 ~10 tps (~20 tps x2 node) | 🐧 Linux/AI research only w/strong prefill + nerfed decode bandwidth-limited. Difficult pooling (new cables may fix). AAA gaming not optimized for Grace

🚨 BREAKING — PRESIDENT TRUMP SENDS NATION-ENDING ULTIMATUM TO IRAN
“If Iran does anything that stops the flow of Oil within the Strait of Hormuz, they will be hit by the United States of America TWENTY TIMES HARDER than they have been hit thus far.
Additionally, we will take out easily destroyable targets that will make it virtually impossible for Iran to ever be built back, as a Nation, again — Death, Fire, and Fury will reign upon them”
@doodlestein Claude is always telling me stuff like "That's a genuinely clever argument and I don't think I've seen it framed quite this way before." and I'm retarded
En Tokyo, los niños de seis años caminan solos a la escuela cada mañana.
Llevan un sombrero o una mochila amarilla.
Ese amarillo, en la ciudad más grande del mundo, significa que ese niño va solo y que debe ser identificado para cuidarlo y ayudarlo en lo que necesite; Cruzan calles,
Se suben al metro y van contentos .
Las pequeñas tiendas en Japón, las llamadas convenience stores, que son como súper pequeños abiertos por por todo el país, son lugares donde si un niño que camina solo se pierde, puede entrar y ahí lo van a ayudar.
Esto es posible porque viven en un país donde el mindset del respeto, la integridad y la armonía crea un mundo ordenado y una realidad admirable a la que todos los países debiéramos aspirar
Millennials reinvented the Puritanism aesthetic without the bible and it diverged into other avenues because the ultimate material conclusion of hipsterism was a giant death laser pointed at the third world
@CLEANISHMEADOW yep. I get like ~30 views on any tweet I make, just sent to the TL of those individuals who regularly interact. Sorry elon I'm not going to send a photo of my ID to israel so that I get more likes on my mein kamf tweets
I personally watched them bring in new statues etc to the Angkor Wat complex and install them, and watched them do new construction on "ancient" temples. It looks like lathing technology because it is, and it was probably made in between 2009 and 2018
If you pay attention as you travel around Cambodia, you can find evidence of what appears to be lathing technology at almost all of the OLDER sites. This particular pillar was found at Preah Ko Temple - one of my absolute favorites!
If you dont like them, you have to bear it and make it tolerable in some way. But trying to change them, trying to have a conversation, pushing back on their permanent and immutable character flaws, is a sisyphean energy sap that only succeeds in creating friction and unhappiness
Life would be so much easier for a ton of people if they just realized that people never change short of a miracle. If you don't like how someone is, you have to accept they will always be that person.
If you don't like someone you may still have a duty to have a relationship with them. If someone has done a lot for you, or stood up for you, you may have duty of loyalty/honor to associate with them. You have filial duty to your parents. You have marital duty to your wife
