😲 DeepSeek-V3-4bit runs at >20 tokens per second and <200W using MLX on an M3 Ultra with 512GB. This might be the best and most user-friendly way to run DeepSeek-V3 on consumer hardware, possibly the most affordable too. You can finally run a GPT-4o level model locally, with possibly even better quality. #LLM #AI #ML #DeepSeek #OpenAI #GPT #OpenWeight #OpenSource venturebeat.com/ai/deepseek-v3…

> Researchers have found that ChatGPT "power users," or those who use it the most and at the longest durations, are becoming dependent upon — or even addicted to — the chatbot.

I think I was starting to head that way with Claude before I quit a couple of weeks ago. Thankfully I didn't use it much for actual coding work; I gave it a few one-off tasks, but was mostly unsatisfied with the results. But I did use it for other things, and I admit, even started to talk to it like a friend sometimes. But a few weeks ago, I reevaluated whether I should use LLMs, and decided to discontinue all personal use. No withdrawal symptoms yet, so maybe I didn't go too far.

Canada freezes Tesla rebate payments

If it looks like a fraud... it's possibly a fraud. Which is what Tesla is.

🤯 Wow, the former NDP leader says that this election is too important to lose -- so vote for the Liberals. Don't split the vote.

Boy, I wish we had proportional representation in Canada!

We are concerned about about the US being able to switch off or spy on our cloud instances.

But what about payment infrastructure? All payment card companies we use are US based (visa, mastercard, amex). In some European countries like Denmark they have their own system alongside (Dankort). The Dutch sold off all their own card issuers providers long time ago.

epicompany.eu/ is supposed to provide an alternative but haven't seen any updates on that in a while.

Someone just shared this with me. Holy shit. 🤯

“Yale professors, #TimothySnyder, a historian of totalitarianism and the author of #OnTyranny, and Jason Stanley, a philosopher and the author of How #Fascism Works, move to #Canada” (to positions at the University of Toronto).
