How is it shitty behaviour. "I are hiring 10 people, we won't remove the job listing until 10 people are hired."

I can confirm, I sent their sales team an email asking for ZDR, and they provided it within an hour.

I think it's about the comment you wrote, or rather that AI (appears to have) written entirely.


ah. it writes and i edit it. me and Stanley Duckenmiller. it's a way better writer than i am. so is my cousin who is a golf writer for 30 years. so you're correct. i am excellent at editing though :)


Your parent comment reads like AI slop, so you may not be as good at editing as you think. Worth thinking about the impression you’re conveying about yourself.


Yeah I completely gave up after a paragraph of overly wordy AI garbage.

There's no way just writing it out would have been worse


I’d suggest adding emdashes to your filter list.


In what world is 10x US GDP, 3-4x US Marketcap, or 60x the US annual tax collection the requirement for investor expectations?


A world where investors have grown accustomed to absurd levels of growth.


I think the major issue is, people still have the option of those older forms of feeds, people just don't like them.

New social media competitors (ie Tiktok) have won users by having even more powerful algorithms rather than other options.


Of course, but the users can’t be trusted to stay away from something designed to addict them. Only real solution is regulation, although the how is still a big question mark.


I would ask, where is the line drawn between 'enjoyment and addiction.'

Is it the harm provided? Then what do we count as harm, and where is the line.

IE, There's no one stopping me from eating unhealthy, IE sugary foods, which are heavily addictive. I ride a motorbike, and I'd consider myself addicted to that, and it's got a high chance of harm, but we don't ban those. Ditto with gaming, social media, hobby XYZ.

I personally think the freedom to choose your vice is reasonable.


Maybe this freedom sounds reasonable at first. Pew Research says 36% of 13–17 year olds are on social media almost constantly [0]. This is not a problem that existed 20 years ago. The ease of access to highly addictive products is rotting the soul of society.

How? The 2 feeds on my IG account: "posts" and "reels" show content of people that I do not follow.


Instagram definitely doesn't have the option but youtube for instance does, there's a subscription tab that's collecting dust in most people's accounts.


NewPipe even has the subscription feed pretty centered


if you click on the ig logo you can switch to a feed that only shows accounts you follow


oo thanks for the tip. sadly, this view still shows posts from advertisers that I don't follow. but that is the nature of the beast I guess.


You seem to be posting your project/startup constantly under others people's comments/posts.


Genuine question, did you put work into distribution so people knew about it first?

I've known a bunch of people who have said 'blogging is dead' but that's often shared with a lack of sharing the work in the first place or sharing it.


Health isn't a 'perfect or your unhealthy' it's much more of a 'Make the better option, most of the time' in which, similar to the original comment, I am quite happy that the chocolate I can have a treat with has less calories but feels identical in levels of being a treat.

I'd pay the same for chocolate bars that were half the size if they were easily available.


They are, they're called minis :) https://www.piccantino.com/mars/classic-minis

But if you want to indulge, there's a lot much much nicer quality treats than a mars bar, that's what I meant. That might be better for you but also a lot tastier.

But tastes differ of course. I love sweets and snacks and I eat too many but I never like the American ones so much. We have a shop nearby that sells American sweets but they are all so heavy on the sugar. Chocolates are too sugary, You can't really taste anything else. And things like nerds have this really strong artificial flavour. But that's personal of course and also what I grew up with.


Is it really that different from being locked into SMS or Email or Teamspeak or Skype?

I hate using SMS, but I'm forced to due to people I know using it, and it's 'openness' changes nothing for me as the end user.


Well for one thing SMS isn’t bundled with addictive apps that constantly try to lure you into traps against your better judgement.


Yeah but SMS is also a paid product in most places, same with phone calls, and data too, but given most places (Schools, your home, work, libraries) pay for wifi, platform provided messaging is free.

Not that the addictive apps are great, but if we're talking locking, it's deciding between 'paying for' and 'receiving for free' with lock in being constant


So Signal then. It's donation based and works fine.


It's running a very small, non-reasoning model at the moment. But more generally, almost all LLMs argue on the hardware/model they are/are on.


What would tokens/sec performance look like for a reasoning model? An order of magnitude slower?


Reasoning models are the same speed. They’re just post trained with RL to do CoT inside tags like <thinking></thinking> before a tag like <response></response>

There’s no difference in the inference implementation, parameter count, or speed.


There's a difference in the latency distribution between when you submit a query and you see the response, which is what the comment is (clumsily) asking about.

But yeah, there are a lot of factors, so it's hard to answer, and tokens/s isn't the right question.


Which model? Or how many active parameters?


Llama 3.1 8B model


So this demo is around 90 times faster than typical speeds for the same model at openrouter, and around 30 times faster than the absolute fastest option available (Groq).




im assuming energy expenditure is substantially lower as well
