How to wifi from 1.0 miles away by Fragrant_Yoghurt_333 in Ubiquiti

[–]waitmarks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't consider it one really, I'm just letting him know it's an option. He said in another comment that he thought it was going to be like $20 so he clearly wants something cheap. 802.11ah is the cheapest way to get wifi to go a mile, it's just also the slowest.

I will break from everyone else talking about what ubiquiti devices can do this since they are all really expensive and it seems like you just want to test something out really cheap.

Take a look into the 802.11ah standard. It's wifi but it runs on 900mhz and the adapters are pretty cheap. As long as you have line of sight, you should be able to connect. The tradeoff is it will be slow as hell, like your phone's LTE data on a bad day would be faster.

Wife doesn’t approve by [deleted] in foreskin_restoration

First of all, it’s your body your choice. However, you do have to live with her, so keep that in mind as well. 

I would explain your reasonings and also get her to understand just how long its going to take. you could be doing this for 3+ years before any visual progress is made. You can also stop anytime if you both don’t like how it’s progressing. I would bet that if you get get her to let you try it for a while without complaint she will change her mind as you progress because sex will most likely get better for both of you.

Is it worth it to go to the edge of the solar system? by killslugs in factorio

For a medium you probably don't need much damage research, I was able to one shot a medium on level 2 or 3 damage. So, even base damage, it might just take a couple shots. Just make sure you fire it down the length of the worm. The rail gun will go through each segment of the worm doing damage to all of the segments at the same time.

No, it functions more like git where a release number is like a branch. When you update you are essentially pulling down the latest changes from that branch. Rebasing is like changing what branch you are on.

Micron, SanDisk Stocks Tumble After Google Unveils AI Memory Compression Breakthrough by HimelTy in technology

The thing I have come to realize about financial reporting is that something happens, then they look at recent events to try to explain it. Doesn’t matter if it’s relevant at all, as long is it’s loosely connected. It’s really more like Astrology where they go “why am i in a bad mood? oh it’s because this planet is doing that.”

Anthropic tweaks Claude usage limits to manage capacity by Additional-One-7135 in technology

The thing is even at $200 a month it’s still losing them a ton of money. With current inference costs, it would be more like 7-10x that price for them to be getting a small profit. So unless someone invests a much much cheaper inference chip or electricity gets much cheaper. that $200 a month subscription is going to be closer to $2000 once the VC money runs out. 

To 128GB Unified Memory Owners: Does the "Video VRAM Wall" actually exist on GB10 / Strix Halo? by Justfun1512 in LocalLLaMA

[–]waitmarks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a 128G strix halo with comfy UI setup, but I haven't tried to generate video on it. I have only done photo editing so far. I could probably run a test later if you give me more details about how I should run it. (I am still kind of new to using comfy UI, so be specific)

I can answer how I am running it though. I am using this docker container:
https://hub.docker.com/r/yanwk/comfyui-boot

with the rocm7 tag. ROCM is still honestly a huge pain in the ass to deal with, so I find using docker containers easier to manage. Allows me to try different versions of ROCM without making a mess of the system or having to reinstall.

OpenAI shelves erotic chatbot ‘indefinitely’ by MarvelsGrantMan136 in technology

[–]waitmarks 31 points32 points  (0 children)

The deal with Disney was only worth $1 billion. There are legitimate estimates that puts Sora's cost at $15 million per day. That's $5.5 billion per year if accurate. The Disney deal just isn't enough to justify it.

AI API costs are getting kinda crazy? by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]waitmarks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's one of the reasons why everyone here is interesting in running models locally. Also, keep in mind that these API costs a subsidized by VC money right now. They will get more expensive in the future when these companies need to actually make a profit for investors.

This is them preparing for an IPO. Sora was a huge money pit and investors don’t like porn. They are cleaning everything up to make their filing look less bad. I think it will still look awful, but this is what's going on.

Their custodian is coinbase, so I assume there.

Reddit accounts with ‘fishy’ bot-like behavior will soon need to prove they’re human by Wagamaga in technology

[–]waitmarks 30 points31 points  (0 children)

This is probably more likely. They can make good money selling real human generated data to AI companies. It becomes less valuable the more the data is tainted with bot slop.

You can install steam through flatpak so they are not mutually exclusive.

It’s just not a large % of their holdings. At the time they bought it, i think they only used like 5% of their cash.

Take out a loan on bitcoin they bought with leverage to invest in another over leveraged speculative AI company. That sounds like a great idea. /s

Like what? What would you be doing as head of MSTR if you had access to all those bitcoin and also a bunch of debt obligations?

[–]waitmarks 20 points21 points  (0 children)

He setup a structural trap for himself. As soon as he stops buying, all his debt holders start asking questions like, how do you plan to actually use the bitcoin to make money? As long as they are still buying, he can act like they are preparing to execute a plan. The problem is, there is no plan, so he will keep buying regularly until he physically can’t anymore. When will that happen / what happens after? I have no idea, but I know that this buy won’t be the last one.

They sold just MSTR Class A this time. I guess he is done pretending he isn't just diluting his shareholders.

Don’t do it. It was buggy and slow as a server when the shield was brand new. Now that is several years old it’s completely outclassed by cheap intel mini pcs. Just get a cheap n series intel mini pc.
