I've been finding it very practical to run the 35B-A3B model on an 8GB RTX 3050, it's pretty responsive and doing a good job of the coding tasks I've thrown at it. I need to grab the freshly updated models, the older one seems to occasionally get stuck in a loop with tool use, which they suggest they've fixed.

Whether you like it or not, we are burning a lot of electricity on datacenters. That is a fact. And energy consumption is likely going to significantly increase in the near future. If we can reduce that energy usage, that is a good thing and a big improvement.

I do not think I even understand your complaint. Different people can work on different problems. We do not have to pick only one.

> My improvement is more important than yours.

We can just do both.

iOS has Yattee[1].

It's technically a personal video-watching app, not a Youtube app, which you're supposed to link with your own personal video server, but the server APIs it is compatible with are the same APIs that are exposed by Invidious and Newpipe instances. This is not a coincidence.

I'm sure Apple is going to delist it from the App Store at some point (App Store guidelines are just that, guidelines, and there's no getting around them with a weird loophole like you can do with actual laws), but it works for now.

The algorithm just gives you more of what you asked for. :)

If people succeed in codifying 'their right' to block ads, how would the internet not be doomed to die as is, or at best aggressively centralize even more.

You'd have to pay each website you consume, and obviously people won't have 50 individual subscriptions.

YouTube even offers a premium plan, so people are essentially arguing they're entitled to consuming content for free with no exchange.

I'm still basking in my good fortune buying a hundred 3090s from crypto miners at rock bottom prices.

Rather than naps, I can personally recommend yoga nidra, AKA non-sleep deep rest (NSDR) meditation. There's no effort involved. You just lie down and listen to an audio track. Lots of tracks available on YouTube and Spotify. With yoga nidra, you stay awake and get just as recharged from a good nap but without the risk of waking up groggy. It's a game changer.

If you're interested in the science behind it, Andrew Huberman often talks about it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rSOn0PurVc

Wild the FTC isn't suing the NYTimes, WSJ, or every other paid news outlet for far more egregious cancellation process practices. Almost as if the FTC is a political weapon.
