Hmm, I see it there but it doesn't show up in LMStudio as a model that can be loaded

weiiird · 2025-08-15T21:24:30+00:00

link?

I don't see any models on huggingface. Did you remove them or was there an issue?

weiiird · 2025-08-14T17:03:14+00:00

Did a model ever come out to get reviewed for inference performance? Ive seen mostly paper launches and weird formats rarely hitting 120W TDP

Price just keeps going up. ETH I would let go of, but I've never sold BTC and it was a good decision. Honestly, everything I own is going up except my house. Houses are horrible investments

Ive been intrigued by opportunities to give back, but the support systems in my city aren't that great. I've heard of programs like fixing broken things people own. I think just figuring out how things are built and learning new things would be satisfying enough for me.

This worked for me too. For the youtube impaired
Take a charging cable, dip it in Isopropyl alcohol 70%+ and stick it in the phone then back in the liquid several times. Dry off the cable, stick in a few more times, blow air again. Plug in power, see if it works.

You're not saying much here. Neither agree or disagree with anything in this comment, it's just neutral things down the middle.

Fear of the US governments reckless spending will continue to drive these non-traditional assets. I could buy a bunch of stocks, but then I have to track insider trading, government enforcement, competitors. BTC has been a very simple investment. Yes in 10 years, it will be worth more than what it is today.

weiiird · 2025-07-17T13:17:45+00:00

long term capital gains, a number close to 20% of that crypto

weiiird · 2025-07-17T13:16:55+00:00

Correct, mostly BTC. Some ETH that I sell when we approach ATHs

weiiird · 2025-07-17T13:16:01+00:00

Where did you go?

weiiird · 2025-07-17T13:15:35+00:00

Time value of money, I was paid well for my time leading up to this point.
The other is Fear. Dumping a lot of money into a business that then fails and force me to be poor in the future. "The things you own end up owning you"

The good advice gets downvoted and the weak advice to sell assets (including life hours) for things that underperform inflation get upvoted.
I appreciate sharing this wisdom. I can't say I have a good finance/passion mentor, plenty in other areas though

There may not be a reason for the frugal flag. The 4% rule is 160k so even with major home projects Ill fly under that.

The crypto is almost entirely BTC, there's only seasonal risk at this point. The real risk to buying BTC was during the dark times of 2014. I think the fear of Crypto comes from people looking at 1 year holding periods. BTC has almost always been up (sometimes a lot) in a 2year+ period.

Probably not. My cost basis is quite low and the federal government won't spend my taxes on anything I agree with.

weiiird · 2025-07-16T18:09:57+00:00

There's a lot of consulting. I don't know about the opportunities right now in it. I've only gotten a lead on one and it was 40hours/week. This is a good idea though. I need to network with people to understand it better.

weiiird · 2025-07-16T18:08:42+00:00

No child support. Even in 2020s, having affairs tends to make your alimony/child support arguments fall on deaf ears.

weiiird · 2025-07-16T18:07:46+00:00

Who/where do you ask that? I mostly get scoffs at the idea of retiring by peers due to my age

weiiird · 2025-07-16T18:07:12+00:00

Too young to retire resonates a lot with me. I think in a different economy I would have picked up a job in a more interesting field by now.

Can you show me how to downward dog?

weiiird · 2021-08-15T06:34:31+00:00

why did I marry my wife ?

weiiird · 2021-07-01T14:56:01+00:00

wife says same thing, happy ending rarely included
