I bought Crucial (lol rip) ram sticks back around September to October but had to get a refund because the mail system of my city completely trashed them during delivery (I remember a chink kicking a bag of mail into the mail box until it "fit" because he didn't want to bother slightly turning it so it fit better so I'd imagine someone did that to my ram) and I found cheaper, better(?) ram sticks to get instead from...I think Newegg? Refund took about a month because you can't replace cogs in a system with jeet/chink/beaner shit and expect it to run smoothly.
I figured the AI bubble wouldn't get too much worse by the next time I was next paid as I needed to divert my money to more important priorities at the time. Now I come find the AI shit is doing to ram what Bitcoin did to GPUs and now the same ram sticks I bought for $117 has doubled in price in less than a month. What a terrible night to have a curse, in the form of an hobby in computer tech. Hate it, hate everyone.
Honestly the question is what changed. As far as technology goes it can be assumed that the very best closed LLM models that companies like OpenAI and Claude are using are roughly in the 1T MoE range, maybe more if they're simply bruteforcing the intellect problem with sheer memory. The speed of inference suggests that it's roughly that size or smaller perhaps, but they're also running them in massive data centers with machines probably dedicated to individual layers of the model so who knows. The open source model community has done leaps and bounds in developing quantitization for LLMs (lowering the models from their full size, usually FP8 down to 4 bits, 2 bits, even 1+ bit for the idiots) which easily cuts memory usage in half while keeping performance within 1% of the original model (for FP8 -> 4 bit). I believe it was Google that created post-quantitization training to lower that percentage even further to match the original model.

So the question is why. From my point of view as someone who has frequented /lmg/ since 2023, the reasoning behind them reserving so much memory makes zero sense. They have the current capacity to run all current models without issue. LLMs are already hitting a scaling curve and relying on using Python in their problem solving to further advance in benchmarks. Companies still have failed to make them properly reason and LLMs are still glorified pattern matchers and token predictors. So why are they buying more memory when the systems they have already work?

Honestly I think they're perpetuating the lie so investors don't freak and pull their money, popping the AI bubble and triggering another recession. Google is already building more and more datacenters and attempting to revitalize nuclear reactors to fuel them. OpenAI is... drowning honestly. They're being propped up by Microsoft and their chronic ChatGPT userbase who doesn't realize Gemini is a better GPT-5. Claude is for vibe coders and paypigs. The Chinese just keep winning with their new releases.

It's all an investor scam tbh. Them buying memory is a sign of growth, so they can point to it and say "Hey we're not drowning, there's still some air in our lungs!". The only company to sucessfully utilize AI is Taco Bell sticking a voice in their drive thru. The bubble will pop eventually.

Is there actually someone in this thread who doesn’t know that the DEA comes down pretty hard on Americans who make drugs here?
Do they? Because pretty sure the meth junkies are still in good supply round here last time I drove by the shitty part of town.
 
Now show me the stats of how much cocaine is laced with more dangerous drugs.
I dont know if you understand how drugs work...

Ok a kilo in Columbia is prolly like 1-2k cause its so plentiful and the whole thing will be pure

In Panama its probably 10k cause its less plentiful, the guy who has it there is likely going to start cutting it with something so he can sell more

by the time its in florida its WAY more and the dealers are going to be cutting half or more with fent so they have DOUBLE the amount to sell

Does this all start to make sense? the fent and cocaine are coming in separately THEN being combined

The only reason that show is still on the air is to deter people from Nuclear Energy. The people funding know damn well that plebs will subconsciously associate nuclear power with the dolt Homer Simpson. Who, I must add, is thought of as fucking up daily. Doesn't matter if it's true or not, that thought has been seeded.
Honestly I think Homer is he least of the show's problems when it comes to depicting Nuclear Energy. Iirc it's established in the show that none of Homer's controls actually do anything and he's essentially just paid to do nothing all day while other people actually run the plant.
Don't forget the episode where he stops a nuclear meltdown two or three times in a row by blindly guessing with eenie-meenie-minie-moe. The show is really funny most of the time in those early seasons, but it's written by people who capitulated to Paul McCartney to make Lisa a vegetarian. For a cameo.
 
Women being comfortable in their bodies is a good thing

Also a good thing

When I heard you were the site's contrarian I expected better, God
No he’s just a gimmick account who likes to play at being a demotivational right wing chud who thinks the left will win any day now and totally kill all the based MAGA men. Also this is probably the wrong thread if those are your beliefs this is pretty much r/the_donald.

They probably aren't producing the product. I'd rather the DEA chase down the producers than bums.
Well yeah that’s my point though. The junkies are still just being junkies and not chimping out or going through withdrawals or anythind so the producers are producing still.
 
The Somali vow to defeat America again (nitter)

Ver archivo adjunto 8248114
Some of the Somalis in the twin cities have, over the years, posted pictures on social media, mostly Facebook if I recall correctly, of pieces of the downed Blackhawks in their possession. I feel like we owe it to Shugart, Gordon, the Rangers, and the crews of those helos to correct that if true, and I'll bet is it.

Eh, honestly Lisa becoming a vegerarian is one of those things that would have happened anyways. Its a logical thing for her character to do. Like they referenced it a season earlier in the future forward episode. Note, I don't like Lisa the Vegetarian as an episode and have only seen it like once so.

I hear what you're trying to say, Stud, but you can't just cut coke with fent like that. Fent is super powerful. It'll kill you if you do the kind of mixture you're talking about. If you take straight fent, you'll die. 50%, you die. The fent the zombies are taking is diluted to hell (great for bulk production) or it's a very small proportion of other shit. The idea is that it's supposed to give you that heroin high by mixing in with other crap, but also to get you gigahooked on the opiod component, and no one selling cares if a junkie or some poor stupid kid eats it from overexposure to a compound 100 times stronger than heroin.

Ringo wouldn't have asked for something so retarded
"Gaysexenjoyer, you are correct. I would have asked her to dine in an octopus's garden instead. Please forgive the lateness of my reply."

It's less that it happened and more that it came from a stupid fucking idea and made her into a perpetual mouthpiece.

Women being comfortable in their bodies and women being outright delusional and blatantly unhealthy should not be interchangeable.

If the endpoint of female empowerment is women smelling like sweaty cabbage and dying at 40 then just repeal the 19th now and save a generation or two the trouble.

Also a good thing
Yeah I've always said if there's one thing Ohio needs more of it's somalians.


Also Fatpacks is simply the sites reverse-oracle, his predictions are the interesting part not his commentary.

Yeah I just don’t love the idea of cartoons horsetrading around what ideological elements they’re going to push on you

@gaysexenjoyer the thing about the comfort level women feel in their bodies is that IT’S SOMETHING FOR THEM TO EARN FOR THEMSELVES and not something they should bitch at men to provide for them

Like the flip side is if I was saying I should walk around with my dick out and be like “you need to make me feel good about doing this”
