- Comment on What ever happened to QAnon? 9 hours ago:
It’s my theory that QAnon was being controlled by Republican election strategists. Steve Bannon has bragged about this.
It was no coincidence that Pizzagate started immediately after the news broke that Trump used to go into teenage dressing rooms.

You missed the part where deep seek uses a separate inference engine to take the LLM output and reason through it to see if it makes sense.
No it’s not perfect. But it isn’t just predicting text like how AI was a couple of years ago.

LLM’s can now generate answers. Watch this:

Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence. The data shows obesity kills.
Your claim that lack of food doesn’t cause weight loss is absolute bullshit of the flat earther variety.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
that is that food scarcity doesn’t cause weight loss
Bullshit.
Epigenetics isn’t eugenics. Like I said, you used the wrong word.
you’re also idolizing medics
I carefully used the phrase “overwhelming majority”. Science progresses through consensus. The data shows obesity kills.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
too bad human beings aren’t engines huh?
Humans are engines. Stop eating and you will lose weight. I didn’t make any claims about health. But you absolutely are and engine. The proof is that if you stop eating, you will die. Different fuels burn differently but you can’t defy the laws of physics.
Eugenics is the study of improving humans through breeding. You used the wrong word.
I’m not taking the word of one uneducated author over the overwhelming majority of trained doctors and scientists who all consider obesity to be a medical problem that needs to be treated.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 days ago:
That’s psychology, not physics. If you actually stick to a diet such that you are eating less than you burn, you will lose weight.
No one can break the laws of physics.

Who pays for email?
That you don’t pay for gmail doesn’t mean it isn’t monetized. Google makes $220 Billion a year from ads.
Who pays subscriptions for file backup?
Google drive, Onedrive, and iCloud are forced down all users throats. Millions pay. A quick google says Apple makes $96 Billion a year from iCloud alone.
the problem is that as soon as they try to put the squeeze on their customers they will just go somewhere else that offers the same thing
If it were that easy Google wouldn’t make $350B a year. Google is just a search index and not very good.
Look at what happened with Deepseek; OpenAI can’t maintain dominance.
Yes, and Google displaced Yahoo. That doesn’t mean search stopped being monetized.
Nvidia is artificially limiting vram but that’s not going to remain the limitation for long.
It’s not VRAM, it’s ram in general. Deepseek needs ~700GB. Ram prices have been dropping about 30% every 5 years (and that’s ideal numbers. Moore’s law is dead. Current improvements are smaller than looking back 5 years). It’s about $6k to build your own Epyc for 6 tokens/sec. No average person is going to spend $6k when a service does it for $10 a month and is 10x faster. Do the math for how long it will be until $6k of ram costs $600.
But the real killer that will keep AI out of consumer hands for forever is that it is reliant on new models to include updated information that was scraped from the Internet. If you ask Deep Seek about anything that’s happened in the past year, it can’t give any answers because the model was built with older data. So Google, Apple, Microsoft and anyone capable of indexing the entire web will always have an AI model that is updated with the latest information. Home users will be lucky to get models with information that is several years out of date. Building models requires 100x the resources as running the trained model and you need the data to train it.

A PC lets you replace the CPU, ram and plug in multiple pcie cards.
This is less upgradable than the average laptop.
- Comment on Framework’s first desktop is a strange—but unique—mini ITX gaming PC 5 days ago:
This is a standard a370 mini PC at a high price.
There’s Beelink, Minisforum, Aoostar and many others.

People can easily self host email, file backup, etc but pay for service anyway. AI will be prohibitively expensive to self host for a very very long time.

Organizing what? She did as much as humanly possible in the last election but the country voted for Trump.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 6 days ago:
Extremely few people hold Bitcoin or will ever want to. Every office worker will use AI. It’s like googling on steroids.
- Comment on What are the democrats actually doing to help? 6 days ago:
Democrats only have the power that you give them. When Trump lost an election, his followers ransacked the Capital. When Pelosi opposed Republicans, her husband got his face smashed in.
What exactly do you expect AOC to do?
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 6 days ago:
Oh yeah, as others said many startups will fail. But you wrote as if AI does nothing like blockchain.
- Comment on Will AI Startups End Up Like Blockchain Startups? 6 days ago:
My wife uses AI to write complex Excel spreadsheet formulas saving hours. She still has to double check them but it saves enormous time. My friend uses it to write proposals again it needs to be checked and again it saves hours of time.
AI doesn’t replace people. It provides a productivity boost and it has been doing it for 2 years now.
Asking what AI is going to do for the average person in 1-3 years is like asking what is the PC going to do for the average person in 1980. There’s nothing that AI can do that can’t be done by a person. But like using a PC instead of a pocket calculator, it makes you more productive.
- Comment on Nice upgrade for old PCs 6 days ago:
I was referring to other PCs you have. You were worried about not running trim would kill the ssd when it’s possible your new PC isn’t running trim either.
- Comment on Nice upgrade for old PCs 6 days ago:
If you run a hypervisor like proxmox you don’t get automatic trim either. You need to manually setup cron trim. Auto trim also is disabled with filesystems like zfs because of performance problems.
You may have been running without trim and never noticed
- Comment on Just waiting for them to circle back on eugenics again... 1 week ago:
That’s not the definition of eugenics. Eugenics is the study of improving humans through breeding, not medicine.
Mengele did horrific human experiments that weren’t related to eugenics at all.
- Comment on Just waiting for them to circle back on eugenics again... 1 week ago:
??? Eugenics is the opposite of healthcare.
Eugenics means letting the weak die.
- Comment on Jellyfin is not just good... but *better* than Plex now?! 1 week ago:
I have a lifetime Plex pass but am still annoyed at having to deal with “recommended” every time a device is setup or reset.
The recommended view is useless and there is no way to make library the default view. You have to reset every source. It makes it incredibly annoying helping my family remotely to get to family videos.

- Comment on ‘It’s blackmail’: Ukrainians react to Trump demand for $500bn share of minerals 1 week ago:
The mob gives a better deal than Trump. With the mob it’s, “Give us money or we won’t protect you from a rival gang burning your house.” With Trump it’s, “Pay me and I’m going to let the other gang burn your house.”
- Comment on ‘It’s blackmail’: Ukrainians react to Trump demand for $500bn share of minerals 1 week ago:
It’s worse than blackmail because Trump promised nothing in return. Give us money and we will defend Ukraine was reasonable. Zelensky originally agreed when he thought that meant Trump would defend Ukraine.
Instead Trump wants Ukraine to completely surrender and then pay him to surrender.

Plastic Straws. Plastic cups. Wrapping indvidual food items in plastic and then putting them in a larger plastic bag which you carry home in an even larger plastic bag.
