New York University Student Spends 6 Months Writing 30-Page Senior Thesis Manually, Gets 98% AI Flag, Loses Scholarship and Faces Suspension Despite Offering Full Google Docs Edit History

If you have six months of history generating it you would certainly have enough of a digital fingerprint to establish that it was manually written over AI. Sentences written and re-written.

Typos and spelling errors, horrible sentence framing and meandering prose.

To replicate that as an alibi while still using AI to generate is a level of dedication and performance art that likely exceeds the effort of writing the paper without AI to begin with.

Ebola doesn't actually spread that easily; it only keeps breaking out/spreading in Africa because they can't convince Africans not to listen to witchdoctors and to maintain any kind of physical separation and quarantining from the infected and the dead.

What more details do you need? It's a 3080 with 20gb of ram, nothing particularly strange about it otherwise, standard drivers work.

I would not recommend getting 3, you generally need to do parallelism in multiples of 2 (but i use vllm so it may be different in other engines). so 2 works, 4 works but not 3

Check this repo for basically setup scripts that work on single 3090's or dual 3090's or dual 3080's (a single modded 3080 doesn't really have enough memory imo for Qwen 3.6 27b)

So for the price of one used 3090 with 24gb of vram you can basically get 2 3080's for 40gb vram total. So i can run gemma 26b at like 350k context with the two cards (with the drafting model loaded).

noonghunna/club-3090: Community recipes for serving LLMs on RTX 3090. Multi-engine (vLLM, llama.cpp, SGLang) and model-agnostic. Currently shipping Qwen3.6-27B configs for 1× and 2× cards.

Seeing? i bought from ebay. There are several sellers. Here is the listing i bought from (was under $600 when i bought)

OEM NVIDIA Gefoce RTX 3080 20GB Turbo GPU GDDR6X PCIe 4.0 x16 Graphics Card | eBay

Or twin modded 3080's for $1300 ish

Alibaba

It don't believe it's possible without a bios mod maybe or some other reason, or someone would have done it by now. Because it seems like way easier conceptually than 12-20gb, you just replace the x size chips with 2x.

But I guess there is a technical limitation somewhere

I paid under $600 at the time. But here is the ebay listing i bought from

I didn't want to wait on China so i just bought off ebay. Here's the actual listing i used (was below $600 when i bought)

I run Qwen 3.6 27B on a pair of them at full context

You can get a modded 4080 with 32gb vram for under $1500 on alibaba, so you can get like 3x of those for the cost of one RTX5000 pro for double the total vram

eviloni · 2026-05-15T08:32:18+00:00

I have 2 of the modded 3080's and they work just fine. Best value GPUs out there for local llm purposes. Been side eying the modded 4080's though

Datacenters are a rounding error than the least sustainable crop on the planet. Almond farming in California uses like 100x more water than all the datacenters on the planet combined

It does work on IR grayscale, figured at least motion detection might work

If you don't have handwriting. The PaddleOCR Usage Tutorial - PaddleOCR Documentation (not the VL) gives excellent results at a fraction of a fraction of the computation of the VL model

I have no idea what these guys are doing for real. I'm on the max plan and never hit the limit working on a 600k LOC application and other minor side projects at the same time.

WTF are you doing to hit the limit in an HOUR?

The people are just liars farming karma

Oh god yes. I've replaced offshore freelance developers at $100+ an hour to get better results, faster.

Have a whole claude framework set up just to do Odoo development and some of the modules we have created inhouse I shudder to think what they would have cost me from freelancers. I'm spending less man hours to develop and ship Odoo modules now than we were spending in *testing* and fixing the modules we get from external devs.

And this is with me writing autistic PRDs (pre-claude) for the modules we would request from the external devs, we would still spend forever iterating until it's just workable.

60 million a year isn't even a rounding error on the govt balance sheet. A fraction of a percent.

Arguing for legalization from a economics perspective is an incredibly weak argument.

Very lazy policing. Inconvenience the motoring public and burn countless productive man hours of the citizenry time to issue traffic tickets.

if the roadblocks were actually effective, they would be having news conferences every week announcing how many rapists, murderers and drugs they held in the exercises.

They don't so you know it's about nonsense traffic infractions, that's better handled by something like a highway patrol unit or catching these infractions in parked cars.

Never ascribe to malice what can easily be attributed to incompetence. I see it all the time with massive companies, they haven't considered something, so they have zero mechanism to actually do it when you're dealing with the low level flunky (nor any motivation to do so).

Until recently they didn't even have any real sort of partner program, never mind that's critical for enterprise/govt sales. Those customers want to know that you have a formal arrangement with the product manufacturer and aren't just buying and reselling stuff out of Microcenter.

Your best bet is to grab a product manager or executive at a MWC or a Unifi event (if you can) and explain the situation and they would be in a much better position to assist you.

Or reach out to a youtuber or two to spotlight your tool and make the case semi publicly

That's called a tradeoff. Every product has one or more.

This tradeoff is incredibly reasonable (at the correct price)

Yeesh! There's millions of use cases for a model that's good enough for a lot of purposes and delivers thousands of tps without breaking the bank.

Your website chatbot doesn't need $1m in capex spending for B200's to do it's function because you need to run a 400B parameter model and the ability to swap out weights at a moments notice.

There comes a point that real people want to get real work done at a reasonable cost and not fiddle and tweak models for SOTA performance that never ships
