No, you’re grandfathered in until the end of October. It also looks like they’re sending out 62,500 credits to people with the $200 a month plan that have to be used by the end of the year. That’s $2500 cash value I guess.

Well, I just figured out it’s because OpenAI is cutting the usage amounts for their $200 a month plan in half. So it’s total bullshit.

Looks like it was talked about yesterday

Hahah your comment put a mental image in my head of Mando fighting Baby Yoda.

We watched it yesterday at home and it was… a strange movie. It looked like it was shot on the same stage they use for the show, the budget seemed far lower than other Star Wars movies, and the story was confusing and rambling in a way my children had a lot of difficulty following. I’m glad I didn’t see it in theaters.

Not OP, but if I’m not interested in using Google’s AI, it’s going to just return these weird bad results that it’d be better off if Google just didn’t even include them as they’re factually wrong?

I had a totally benign chat with OpenAI and it titled it as “amateur porn” in Chinese characters, it was very alarmed when I pointed the conversation name out to it. It almost never misses these days, but when it does the failure modes are very strange.

What are they going on about? I showed this to my seven year old who is wheelchair bound and she asked me when she’s getting her robot legs. She’d absolutely love to have a crab leg chair that could get her up and down the stairs without having to transfer from her wheelchair to her stair lift. Move up and down a little so she could reach something out of a cabinet instead of having to ask big sister or mom and dad for help a hundred times a day.

You have to build proof of concepts before you can ever even think about mass producing any sort of product, I feel like that’s obvious?

What’s wrong with that? Are you more entitled to Warren Buffets billions than his children are?

With Ninfer and Qwen 3.8 27b it uses a groupwise int mixed quant, and it gets 160 tokens/sec. The mixed quant is between 4 and 6 bits.

I updated my LG C5 firmware via USB and my Nintendo Switch 2 now says “Switch 2” on the home page instead of “Unknown Device”. So that’s nice I guess. Also it seemed to fix something with the 120hz HDR 10:10:10 signal when connected to my PC if I recall correctly that before resulted in poor image quality.

I think there are plenty of people that like Elon Musk. They just know to keep their mouth shut in front of the people that act like he’s the Antichrist.

I dunno I’m in a room and guessed that the temperature was 72°F and sure enough it’s 72° in here.

It’s even weirder that the local models have anti jailbreak training. I tried to use Qwen, run totally locally, to help me set up Sonarr and Radarr and while it’d do that it flat out refused to help me get some movies. It got really catty and rude with me. It didn’t believe me at all when I told it I was actually a billionaire who owned all the rights to these movies hahah

Coraline is a claymation movie made by hand, and Wildwood is coming out. But it’s because a cofounder of Nike loves stop motion animation. Despite critical acclaim these movies don’t make money. Just like we don’t have masterwork marble sculpture makers anymore. I have serious doubts anyone will surpass the works of Michaelangelo in the next hundred years; maybe a thousand.

I must have been one of the last ones to get it because I managed to snag two bankable resets. Already reset once after having it clear up geometry in Blender, but it did a fantastic job!

They haven’t activated Astra for me yet, I have two resets now. I’ve been using the opportunity to test out how good 5.6 Sol is at computer use asking it to generate stuff in Blender which has been… interesting

Edit: nevermind it JUST gave me a notification to use it!

We definitely need more than that! Turn the galaxy into paperclips!

I love the photo where assumably everyone involved is posing and smiling and the old guy wearing a high vis vest mean mugging the camera. I bet he’s the one who actually installed the new elevator, or at least the foreman for the work.

Parent already responded but just for reference an RTX 5090 with Ninfer hits 160 tokens/second with qwen 3.8 27B which is very usable.

The Singularity?

Or if you’re worth a trillion dollars you just literally buy the domain chat.com for over $15 million

Yeah it made my day when I’d pop some T3 cruiser gang in wormhole space with my buddies.

It was substantially less fun when I was on the other side of that and got scanned down in my officer fit Archon and popped. Finally I said to myself “why am I doing this to myself?” and quit. My wife approved.

As someone who really no life fit and played WoW, Dwarf Fortress, and EVE in my 20s, you didn’t miss much. My most momentous EVE achievement was betraying my online “friends” who had mostly stopped playing, blowing up all their expensive ships for the insurance payout, then like a true space pirate losing all my ill gotten gains playing Space Poker.

EVE (and other MMOs) had their moment and the ideas of MMOs with a persistent lived in world were very cool but the moment for them seems to have sadly passed beyond the horizon for whatever reason. If you had asked me 20 years ago I would have told you MMOs were the future of gaming.

Ninfer is the real deal. 160 tokens/sec. You can parallelize 4 chats at once and get ~400 tokens/sec I’ve heard. Although that just compounds the context size issue, still absolutely incredible for running locally. I made a web based battle chess game with sound effects running on a pi harness in about 15 minutes, complete with a (very unskilled) “AI” (not an llm) that plays against you if you want!

I liked the article, although I have no idea what it even means to convert your bank statements. Is this a Chinese thing?

Thanks so much for sharing this! I went looking for what I’d call modern “masterwork” statues a year or so ago and had come to this exact same conclusion. Glad that other people are noticing!

Well that first guy didn’t want to put his butt where other guy’s butts have been, that’d be pretty gross.

Workers hated the factories of the Industrial Revolution but the masses also wanted those sweet sweet high quality textiles that were tighter knit and lasted longer than anything handspun. The same will happen for AI.

Also, further counterpoint, if we reject industrial produced food, who spent $139 billion at McDonald’s in 2025?

I spent 20 minutes trying to learn what this means as someone who hasn’t taken a ton of college math. Please feel free to correct me/treat this as a teaching opportunity. But I think this is just stuff that can be understood with just algebra, just the numbers are very very large.

It sounds like the big deal is you have at least 30 points in a graph that aren’t related and can be expressed as rational numbers (not necessarily integers so you get giant fractions). Being very humble here and invite people more advanced in mathematics to chime in where I’m wrong.

So like this is one of the x,y coordinate points that is two rational numbers.

x=30786757706172245427369935940751/4

y=58841476683002984849182029306774218124047405249/8

So there’s at least 30 points on the graph like this, which is a big deal because before there were only 29 independent points verified in any elliptic curve equation.

“Independent” seems to mean something precise here too but I’ll let someone else explain that because I’m not quite sure, somehow the points have to be unrelated to one another.

Bumping the rank from 28->29 previously took over ten years, so it’s a big deal in mathematics apparently.

What’s funny is before the 50s and 60s everyone knew you should cover up and women wore bonnets. That too much sun was bad for you.

Laura Ingalls Wilder of Little House fame (I mention this a lot as I read these to my children as an adult, and they’re a fascinating look at 1880s America) has lots of places where her mother says “put on your bonnet! Don’t get too much sun!”. We act like people in the past were ignorant but people in the 50s and 60s were just a very special type of arrogant, all of Chesterton’s fences were torn down during that time period.

This mindset is so strange to me. Destroying books is anathema? These are niche subjects for books that may only have a few copies in the world. This knowledge should be digitized so it can be available and shared for thousands of years.

Better yet, why not raise prices by 10x for these online AI orders? Then again, I suppose you don’t really run a book shop in 2026 because you want to make money.
