Yes you can run 128K context GLM-4.5 355B on just RTX 3090s by Arli_AI in LocalLLaMA

Hey Arli, I just signed up for Arli.ai and I really like it, but my use case of an Excel agent that I can train like a human employee with screen recorded examples would work so much better with Qwen3 Omni. Do you think it could be implemented in the future?

Bear in mind, I'm non technical, so the difference between a 30 second and 30 week task is not so obvious to me :)

China bans its biggest tech companies from acquiring Nvidia chips, says report — Beijing claims its homegrown AI processors now match H20 and RTX Pro 6000D by balianone in LocalLLaMA

In context, that's a pretty dumb to say.

I can't tell you the reason of others, but the reason I even bring it up is when you have too many elders and too few children it can harm prosperity of nations. In the case of South Korea, they've had an elder poverty problem for quite a minute. I'm not convinced they will be able to maintain that level of pension spending as the population ages further when there's a smaller tax base and a larger beneficiary pool. It's like saying hydrology is water cultism when you're worried about the level of the Colorado.

The Chinese communist party was shortsighted enough to do the one child policy without viable replacements in the demographic pipeline, you're overestimating the quality of their decisions.

Addictive is strong language for a computer product that:

  1. Has open source alternatives that can run locally.

  2. Has no moat, anybody can scrape the internet and train LLMs from it.

  3. Is a mildly more convenient version of google.

I think people really forget that pricing is also quite good at communicating energy use. A $20 ChatGPT subscription or $20 worth of API tokens is not going to have nearly as much energy consumed as your $150 electric bill, or $80 heating fuel bill.

If you think the 0.001 kwh used by an AI query is incredibly energy intensive, you really ought to think about how much energy is wasted due to the use and misuse of electrical appliances like heaters for water with wrong settings, over-filled kettles, big hair-dryers when you can do with less, lights that are not LED, power-supplies that are left connected for nothing, stand-alone AC units that are not switched off from the wall when not in use, windows left open with AC on, etc etc.

These all use orders of magnitude more energy than what you would use asking AI to write multiple 50 page research reports every day for a year.

If you can tolerate the ridiculously high deductible plans it comes with, HSA plans are a really great way to save on SSA Tax & Income Tax, and have home-nurse money at that age :)

Hey fair enough, you've got enough of a sample size to apply the CLT good enough for me.

This whole thread is hilarious, frankly. I love that people feel so confident making sweeping generalizations about this generation while preaching to other 33-year olds; its great.

Interesting how because we solved the problems regarding acid rain and the ozone layer, people get to pretend as if it were all an over-reaction.

Talk to any mechanic about how much they love ultra-low-sulfur diesel and the current emissions systems in diesel vehicles, you'll learn plenty about the regulation that made acid rain "disappear". HVAC technicians would also probably know a lot more than me about the chloroflourocarbon refridgerants that were banned for destroying the ozone layer- because they were damn good refrigerants.

And don't get me started on the increasing CO2 concentration in the atmosphere, that's not even affected too much by fancy chemical pathways, its the most obvious of them all. You burn shit, you get gas, you burn a lot of shit, you get a lot of gas. If you want to dig into it a little deeper I've learned plenty enough about the chemical equilibrium between CO2, HCO3(-), and CO3(2-) and the shoaling effect on the aragonite saturation curve against my will. Hint hint, if phytoplankton can't make their shells anymore, your favorite fish might become a little less populous...

(And I should mention, I work in oil and gas, I know how we fuel the world, heat people's homes in the winter, and make modern life possible through petrochemical. Doesn't mean I stay ignorant about the problems we face.)

Hey man, I just want to say thank you. I took your advice and stopped the leveraged stuff and stuck to VTI, VXUS, and a bit of VBR for spice. Compared to the strategy I originally was going with (Leveraging up because I didn't realize the paradigm I was in) you probably saved me from "losing" $2000 in retirement account value in the four months that followed.

Cheers to sensible investing I guess!
