Break-even in: Never

Nice, my hardware is doing pretty good! :3

Yeah Linux likes to fill the cache entirely. If you want it to do that less and performance isn’t a concern, set up something that drops the caches every few hours running this as root: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches

I get good mileage out of the Jan client and Void editor, various models will work but Jan-4B tends to do OK, maybe a Meta-Llama model could do alright too. The Jan client has settings where you can start up a local OpenAI-compatible server, and Void can be configured to point to that localhost URL+port and specific models. If you want to go the extra mile for privacy and you’re on a Linux distro, install firejail from your package manager and run both Void and Jan inside the same namespace with outside networking disabled so it only can talk on localhost. E.g.: firejail --noprofile --net=none --name=nameGoesHere Jan and firejail --noprofile --net=none --join=nameGoesHere void, where one of them sets up the namespace (–name=) and the other one joins the namespace (–join=)

FUTO is both a company (LLC, to be specific) and a rich guy.

Is that what they were doing? I haven’t seen videos of them ‘platforming’ Curtis so I don’t know whether they were helping him proliferate any specific message

Based on FUTO’s own response, they don’t put logos on the front page to “simplify things”. I think that’s a little weird. Is source-available distinct from open source? Still not sure how that makes them “evil” though, starting to think user Novi Sad might have been making a joke by calling them evil, perhaps being playful.

Wow, he does sound pretty nasty, that’s messed up. I don’t see though how FUTO interviewing a bad person makes the organization evil though.

Oh, thanks, this is the first I’ve ever heard of Curtis Yarvin. Did he say anything bad during those opportunities to speak? I’m not sure it’s “evil” to interview someone.

Does anyone have a TLDR of Drew’s article here? I’ve seen enough of his keyboard-warrior frothing opinions and vitriolic rhetoric from his blog to avoid trusting it without some third party sources to back up his claims about things.
