I just meant for mass inference serving.
Yeah, I haven’t seen much in the way of bitnet training savings yet, like regular old QAT. It does appear that Deepseek is finetuning their MoEs in a 4-bit format now, though.

What’s left unsaid is the software architecture is extremely interesting, and efficient.
Ironically, the Nvidia embargo was the best thing to ever happen to the Chinese labs (which Nvidia tried to tell the US govt). It forced them to get thrifty, unlike US labs which (allegedly) fill some GPU farms with busywork for the appearance of high utilization.


Not at scale. Even on the new architecture, one really needs some kind of accelerator to make it economical for servers.
Bitnet-like models might change the calculus, but no major trainer had tried that yet.


Well, don’t use Twitter.
I don’t mean to be grating, I mean to be blunt. Whatever you are doing here:
…but if you as an LGBT person answer to the homophobic conservatives with the same energy…
Does not matter because the algorithms are skewed, too. No “defending” you do will be shown to users who might actually change their opinion over what you say. As that wouldn’t be engaging.
Don’t believe me? Look at any neutral content (like NASA’s Artemis posts) logged out+VPN, then on your account.
there’s huge accounts on X that are dedicated to spread extreme hate even wishing death on other people.
There is no “fighting” this on Twitter, there is no balancing. That’s the illusion. There is no free speech on Twitter even if you were never censored, hence only way to win is to leave. And deprive them of your engagement.
Also, I was thinking of various wallet drainers, not just simple transactions or classic scams: https://www.kaspersky.com/blog/what-is-a-crypto-wallet-drainer/50490/
Etherium isn’t just a currency, but a contract system. You basically have to be a digital lawyer+developer to understand it, and not accidentally click on the wrong thing to drain your account, and that is a LOT to ask of the average person.
We’re on Lemmy, which must put us in the first percentile of tech nerds, yet I don’t have the bandwidth to learn enough of that to feel secure with my savings in an Etherium wallet. How could the average person?
Anarchist types are concerned about government backed crypto coins since you lose the fungibility/anonymity of physical dollars but don’t get any of the freedom and separation from centralization that crypto supposedly represents.
Plus all the potential for oligarch corruption, like current crypto has. Yeah, it’s like the worst of everything, by design.
But Etherium isn’t protected from that, either.
I like the idea of decentralized digital currency insulated from governments, I just feel the Etherium-style blockchain approach is just impractical, and not that, on so many levels.
Hence they’re Tweeting instead of watching movies.
You can steal someone’s account, which is apparently pretty common given how often I get security warnings for my old unused account.
Were they robbed?
I bet they were.
Say what you will about cash, but some hacker isn’t taking paper bills from across the planet via some technical exploit way over my head. With Etherium, the only thing protecting your money from the entire internet is you, and your understanding of complicated intricacies… And when lost, no one is coming to help you.
They might get my credit card, yeah. But that’s either my own dumb fault, or a very rich bank’s problem.
…It’s great for scammers, though. Crypto’s like a wet dream for them. And I find it remarkable the crypto community sees that as a feature, not a bug, and somehow thinks the whole world must see it that way.
To be fair, housecats don’t always kill for food. Sometimes it’s just… because they can, and have insticts to hunt.
Humans have plenty of food sins too, of course.
The problem isn’t restricted to one sex/gender.
Perhaps not.
…And yeah, there’s all sorts of flavors of hostility even here on Lemmy.
But the manosphere seems to be “winning” their culture war, at least here in the US, compared to whatever the equivalent problem on the other end is. That feels like the bigger problem.
One issue with that is visibility. Showing up in an open Fediverse feed is likely how other women discover the community, while a closed one would have more of a “private chat room” kind of structure and feel, right?
The legit concern I’ve seen is that it doesn’t fit in Lemmy’s structure. You can’t just exclude a demographic, right? But I respectfully disagree, as I believe the expectation is that the community is “read-only” to posters identifying as men, and posting is a perfectly enforceable thing on Lemmy.
Other arguments are just baits for toxicity I’d rather not get into :(. But yeah, one factor is definitely like:
It reminds me of one of my friends upset he wasn’t invited to one of our line gaming get together, despite the fact they hate the game
Yeah, that’s perfectly reasonable. That’s how I discovered it too.
AFAIK the expectation is that everything there is publicly viewable, but posting is bound by the rules.
And that’s (IMO) within Lemmy’s structure. Mods can set whatever rules for posting that they want, and it isn’t the only community that’s “exclusive”.
Please do. Uncomfortable is good.
For real.
This is literally what happens in Lemmy’s women-only sub. Posters are still complaining about it in comments below.
Ugh… I fear for the future of my sex. Sometimes, I want to slap some basic respect into other guys. Nothing fancy or philosophical, just “don’t be a dick, leave other human beings in peace” kind of common sense. Yet it feels like a losing battle.


It’s not as detrimental as you think.
If you take a dedicated camera, put it on a tripod, and shoot it at like f22, yeah, you’ll clearly see a spec of dust or a smudge in a shot. But shoot with a wide open aperture (like your phone usually does), and its essentially invisible.
And then that little imperfection gets AI’d away by all the computational frame-stacking your phone does for every shot.
In other words, your phone’s images so processed that one spec of dust doesn’t really matter.
And even on RAWs from a mirrorless camera, it’s the least of your problems, with things like shot noise, motion blur, lens distortion, botched settings and other imperfections all having a much bigger impact on the final image.
Just not power/cost efficiently on CPU only, is what I meant. CPUs don’t have the compute for batching (running generation requests in parallel). You need an accelerator, like Huawei’s, to be economical.
It’s fine for local inference, of course.
