If you can handle the slow charging any chevy bolt from 2022-2024 is a good buy for second hand. If you need bells and whistles you’ll need to spring for the mid trim euv which has adaptive cruise, lane assist and some automated driving on the highway. For the auto driving you’ll need to spring for onstar so it’ll be a monthly subscription. You could also import a BYD if you’re in the states.

Exactly this.

You scoff but this is already being done in China. They desolder good chips from bad cards and add them to a mule card.

Almost like an LLM wrote it…

I mean what you’re proposing was the initial push of gpt3. All the experts said, these GPTs will only hallucinate more with more resources and they’ll never do anything more than repeat their training data as a word salad posing as novelty. And on a very macro scale, they were correct.

Ultimately, hype won out.

will never achieve AGI or anything like it

On this we absolutely agree. I’m targeting a more efficient interactive wiki essentially. Something you could package and have it run on local consumer hardware. Similar to this https://codeberg.org/BobbyLLM/llama-conductor but it would be fully transform native and there would only need to be one LLM for interaction with the end user. Everything else would be done in machine code behind the scenes.

I was unclear I guess, I was talking about injecting other models, running their prediction pipeline for the specific topic, and then dropped out of the window to be replaced by another expert. This functionality handled by a larger model that is running the context window. Not nested models, but interchangeable ones dependent on the vector of the tokens. So a qwq RAG trained on python talking to a qwen3 quant4 RAG trained on bash wrapped in deepseekR1 as the natural language output to answer the prompt “How do I best package a python app with uv on a linux server to run a backend for a …”

Currently this type of workflow is often handled with MCP servers from some sort of harness and as I understand it those still use natural language as they are all separate models. But my proposal leverages the stagnation in the field and leverages it as interoperability.

Ah I see, however you do bring up another point. I really think we need a true collection of experts able to communicate without the need for natural language and then a “translation” layer to output natural language or images to the user. The larger parameters would allow the injection of experts into the pipeline.

Thanks for the clarification, and also for the idea. I think one thing we can all agree on is that the field is expanding faster than any billionaire or company understands.

Sure, but giant context models are still more prone to hallucination and reinforcing confidence loops where they keep spitting out the same wrong result a different way.

Fundamentally no, linear progress requires exponential resources. The below article is about AGI but transformer based models will not benefit from just more grunt. We’re at the software stage of the problem now. But that doesn’t sign fat checks, so the big companies are incentivized to print money by developing more hardware.

Also the industry is running out of training data

https://arxiv.org/html/2602.21462v1

What we need are more efficient models, and better harnessing. Or a different approach, reinforced learning applied to RNNs that use transformers has been showing promise.

Yes, that’s why we have https://github.com/colonelpanichacks/flock-you

IF you’re actually curious, it was because we used to import them, and the importers would dye them red due to discoloration in how they were harvested. Domestic production ramped up in the US and since pistachios didn’t have to travel as far, and because modern harvesting was more mechanized. It was easier to wash, dry, roast and salt them in a shorter time period avoiding the discoloration that required the dye in the first place.

Amutable are a gaggle of fucks

I mean, that’s been on the platform for over a decade. Not a lot has come of it. If they’d actually built up any of this into the power grid, it wouldn’t be something the right wing oil and gas lobbyists could politicize.

Look, if we fix the bridges, roads, ATC towers, staff them, nationalize the toll roads, inspect the gas pipelines, replace the lead pipes, reform the corn subsidies, schools, fire stations, rural hospitals, nursing shortage, elder care, vaccine crisis, citizens united, dark money, and pedophile ring then what will the Democrats run on next year huh?

With the Buc-ee’s avatar I’m assuming you’re around TX. Holy shit, I used to weld in the oil patch. I tell you what. You’ve never seen crumbling infra until you’ve watch em hook up a 2 million dollar primary stage HRSG to a pipe that got laid in 1922… It was literally leaking out of the pores of the pipe.

But they’re making us safer Jo! Don’t you know that when the TSA scans your genitalia when you fly to grandmas it makes us all safer. What do you want? You want the terrorists to win?

Screaming into the worm eaten void they are.

Animal welfare is just now a concern? They’ve never been to a feed lot or commercial dairy in the last 100 years.

That’s how monopolies work yeah.
