  • You do need great hardware, but it depends on your use case. If you want the full 671 billion parameter R1, you need to run it on specialized hardware that has enough RAM.

    If you want to run R1 on a phone, you could get the 1.5B parameter R1 running as well. But the quality of results and the speed of response diminish significantly depending on the model and the hardware you use.

    In Iceland they run their Bitcoin Mining facilities fully on geothermal energy. I wouldn’t be surprised to find the EU exploring there options regarding new data centers built on renewable energy for quite some time. For now it is a lot faster to train the models within existing data centers that already have the hardware while everyone is actively competing.

    Meanwhile governments and corporations are trying to pull money out their ass (cutting important programs) to move mountains and create AGI, of which we have no evidence this is the way to accomplish that.













  • I wish it was the year of Linux, and they get 90%+ market share overnight when Gabe Newell announces you can play Half Life 3 exclusively on Steam OS, which includes in-game copies of The Winds of Winter, Doors of Stone, an English translation of Mother 3, and footage of 10 seasons of Firefly that had secretly been produced in private for Gabe.

    The downside is they start the enshittification process immediately. The DRMs get worse, then the ads come, and finally the lawsuits and psyops on distros that treat us well and give us options.

    Our maintainer,
    who art in the AUR,
    blessed be thy PKGBUILD.

    Thy updates roll,
    thy configs persist,
    on / as it is in ~/.config.

    Give us this day our daily pacman -Syu,
    and forgive us our broken mirrors,
    as we forgive those who fail to read the wiki.

    Lead us not into dependency hell,
    but deliver us from bloat.

    For thine is the minimal base,
    the freedom of customization, and the inevitability of btw, I use Arch,
    forever and ever.
