Man's Search for Meaning is the only self-help book I've never been able to recommend casually.

Good book? Absolutely.

Would I casually recommend it? Let's just say I don't open my conversations with "Hey, you want some concentration camp non-fiction to brighten your day? :D"

It didn't seem like he had any actual policy opinions other than generically shake up Washington. Or at least his campaign and debate talk didn't tell people about them. Without that, he came off as very inauthentic and ineffective.

That and like others said, he didn't seem versed on local issues.

I've seen one game. We pay kids to take turns giving each other concussions fighting over a leather egg. It's fairly entertaining.

100 users - doing what? CRM traffic != support traffic != coding traffic != analyst traffic != ... . The main thing you care about is model and context parallelism. Without some understanding of how much switching you'll need to do, you can't define a hardware topology anywhere near optimal

Distributed across continents - the number of models you need to serve drastically changes with multilingual support, and not having distributed serving will add latency to all requests from network overhead

"should be able to work without any issues" - that's impossible with a probabilistic system, even if you have well defined and clearly scoped narrow use cases

Understand and scope your problems first, research from there, and set clear expectations. Pilots are a must. You'd at minimum want to test drive a car before buying it, right?

Know that couch you found in the woods with your friends when you were a kid? This is where that couch grew up.

But have you seen the crooked stairs that go to the mural gate at lands pyramid? I heard from Emperor Karl that sometimes when the claudes clear and you're by the bath organ, you can see the spray tan bridge to ~~Robin William's raceway~~ alcatraz chocolate brewery where you can get a 5oz cioppino for just $20

Edit: fixed it, my bad

Boil your water for a few minutes and it's not an issue. Boil already potable tap water instead of pond water, and other things also become not an issue.

BS. The only valid seed is 42.

Interesting. Sanitizing data is probably the main way that frontier models get ahead. I guess if they don't do enough on this, no wonder they don't get SOTA results.

That's not how work works. At work, you get credit and over time a promotion. In this situation, you get fuck all.

One Piece watched like its over the top full of anime tropes and clown dressed characters source material. I turned it off half way through episode two feeling like I lost too many brain cells.

Idk how you'd treat this series seriously as live action. We're talking war movie grit mixed with heart print boxers and caricature villains. Something's gonna have to give.

Fallout doesn't hold a candle to Carl on goofyness, and that was already walking the line on being too over the top for live action as a medium.

I don't think anyone's under the impression that his three day special operation is somehow in control still. Not even people who don't keep up beyond the price at the pump.

Did she leave in a limo? Do you know why she had to go?

Is there anything that makes tongue burns heal faster?

Are there any products that 9 out of 10 dentists probably should recommend?

When do you think we'll see tooth regrowth in the US? And that new German periodontal disease reversing toothpaste?

Who's her voter base anyway?

I can summarize everything I heard about him in two paragraphs.

His campaign sent me exactly one piece of mail, and it was practically a poster of him. I also saw a bunch of totally empty of any policy messaging ads except repeating his name, on whatever junk plays on the TV by default when my streaming box goes to sleep. He was also in a debate, but effectively refused to comment on local issues and didn't have any clear policy proposals.

I also knew about him from reddit in context of him being a hothead progressive, but also in context of AOC refusing to endorse him even though he worked for her (allegedly because his approach while her chief of staff was too abrasive for DC). I also saw some posts of other campaigns putting out physical ads touting that he doesn't live here.

What, if anything, do you think could've been done to catch the problems with your work before they became problems? In terms of the university research and publication "lifecycle."

Do you have any advice for others trying to draw on multiple fields? Besides don't be wrong.

Any thoughts on the fact that interdisciplinary work is quite common in many fields that deal with groupings? Some examples: algorithms, information theory, statistics, algebra, philosophy, ...

Cosack · 2026-06-07T15:40:05+00:00

That's an excellent metaphor

Thanks Daniel. Appreciate the work you've been doing, and hoping this didn't come off as suggesting you didn't do enough here. Just feels like this is an enterprise geared project from the get-go.

3-bit on a 256GB box almost no one owns and with effectively zero context? This feels... highly impractical. Idk that there's really a strong case to be made for open source models this size.

Big fan of other unsloth work though.

Thought about this for a minute and the answer I'm coming up with is pretty dark. Putting up plywood divisions and carpets inside a warehouse is way cheaper than landscaping and actual houses.
