This is wonderful!!! Generalizing here but we really do take the moon for granted.
I bought a 'big ass telescope' a few years ago in an effort to bootstrap a hobby that I'd flirted with for decades but never really committed to. It's a Celestron 11" SCT and I really had no idea what I was getting into. When I think of space I think of things that are really small in the night sky, planets, galaxies, nebula...(turns out most of them aren't *that* small and I overshot the targets I had in mind)
I kept trying to photo galaxies and star clusters and all of these exotic things but had a bunch of trouble with tracking with long exposures. Out of frustration I ended up just pointing it at the boring ol' moon to at least get used to the equipment and workflows.
I fell in love with Luna.
The magnification of this scope really allowed me to explore the surface in a way I never had before. I got to know the 'map' and suddenly related to our celestial neighbor in a whole new way. It was also the very first image I was actually not embarrassed to share - https://imgur.com/a/t9b1Uug
I since then improved my knowledge and technical skill but the month of the moon at the end of 2021 was really pretty spectacular for me.
It really is a great shot. I always daydream of showing today's technology to the great the great minds from centuries ago. Not sure why, but I do.

Does this mean us plebs can run LLMs on gimped VRAM Nvidia lower end cards?
I don't think so. It seems to just lower the ram needed for the context window. Not for loading the model on the vram.

Yeah, although honestly you're paying for the art created by John Kascht. The story is compelling but very, very short. I bought it in hardback right when it came out.
I think I read the story in about five minutes.
Same. "Fairly disappointed" would be an understatement.
> It’s too late. It was too late 18 months ago. Nvidia is over 30x bigger. Qualcomm is 2x, AMD is 2x.
AMD came back from odds much longer than this. At its nadir, AMD's market cap was about a billion. A billion! Jensen's jacket collection is worth more than that.
Anyway, it's not looking good for Intel but it's certainly not "too late".

Great word, TIL.

What's up with calling all (or at least quite many) cabinet members "tsar"? Or was it always customary in the past also, and I was only living under a rock? Or is it just insinuating at Russian influence?
Thanks for the archive link.
And to your question, It was _never_ customary. It's weird, it's not okay, it's brainwashing, plain and simple. I'm a US citizen, our history is rooted in defeating monarchies and kings. I feel as though this is a rewiring of people's brain by mass media. There are _no_ tsar/czar/tzar/csar in a democracy, period. Full stop.

Does anyone else find the use of 'tsar' off putting?
These are not Roman emperors - not Slavic monarchs, nor kings, or other ecclesiastical officials. They're literally rewriting our culture. These are temporary positions being labelled as kings.
