We have to kill or tax all billionaires out of existence first. Their choice. And I don't mean that with any sentiment of hyperbole.
Taxing (or burying at sea, or grilling on a spit, or force feeding them like foie gras to consume their livers) billionaires out of existence isn't an issue of generating enough tax revenue. You can consider it a part of why such a thing is important, but it should not be considered the primary point.
The primary point is to reduce the distance between the wealthiest among us and the least wealthy among us. For all it matters, the money re-possessed could be burned. Its utilization is secondary to reducing the disparity.
If being a billionaire was an illegal act punishable by immediate execution, the need for UBI would be dramatically reduced. It would also be dramatically easier to implement.
Its a lot more cost effective to have one long boom arm sweep out a radius with a wheel at the end. Basically some of the most heavily optimized for and well supplied irrigation systems on the planet.
Mostly time. I didn't buy the machine to run someone else's models. I bought it to run my own models and the machine has a job to do. Tinkering with self hosting llms, I guess. I appreciate them as models. But my machine has a day job.
Yeah I can run any open weight models which leave me enough vram to not crash. But its a bit of a gotcha because you also need enough system ram to load the model. I use it to heavily parallelize training tasks.. Honestly, I need to tinker with it more but I'm pretty annoyed at how ollama has gone deep in the paint as basically being a tool for accessing cloud models.
Yeah I do a ton of machine learning research and like, distance between the database and the place I'm doing the processing really matters. My NAS is on the other side of my house and it would be great to have maybe two NAS, a primary one for like, my movies, personal files, old projects etc, and then this one right next to it for active projects.
Right now I'm having to do it all on my primary machine, which means I often have to freeze updates for long periods of time once I get a particular compute configuration set up for a particular project.
Yeah I've got the 128 gb Asus one as a processing machine, and honestly, I wish I would have just got it as a server. For my purposes, I need this bad-ass GPU/ CPU much closer to the storage.
Honestly, just a basic 2:1 is fine for me considering I'm rarely if ever running my compute locally.
I mean maybe. Or maybe for 2 decades capitol D Democrats have given Florida voters nothing to vote for, so they haven't shown up.
Politics doesn't actually occur along a left right spectrum. Trumps at negative a shit ton with almost all demographics. By November the ball of string will be fully cooked.
As long as its centrists/ incumbents/ "thirdway" types losing, then there is actually a chance in November.
He's not interested in the ascendant DSA wing of the party. He's said that as much.
People like Jefferies see the parties as theirs not a thing of the peoples.
