I’ve had a Subaru CVT for 10+ years with over 200k miles no issues. Anecdotal yes, but I’ve grown fond of the CVT feel, it’s smooth, I like it.

Sorting by new is fun sometimes lol
I agree. I’m glad you made this post and are actually interacting in the comments to be constructive.
There’s a book I was introduced to last year called “good strategy bad strategy” that is worth a read, most of it’s somewhat obvious and a little dated as far as examples, but the framing of how to think about strategy is pretty solid. Its an easy read, and like most non fiction books, you get most of the meat in the first half.

I’m a straight white male that leans left, and ya, I’ve had friends (who, it’s sad to say, are hard to talk to now) who were center go right because they were welcomed with open arms by the right and shat on by the left. Before Elon went on a rant about the dude trying to rescue those trapped kids, before Joe Rogan started leaning into the propaganda for ratings, and when Bernie had a chance, we were on the same page… But since trump got involved, Bernie got shut out, and (it’s obvious now) the rich started weaponising the media against us, we have very little media that we consume that’s the same.
I left reddit, rogan and switched to Lemmy and breaking points, and they have leaned in harder to Rogan and we’re drawn down the rabbit hole of tim pool. Everytime I’ve tried to reason with them I get “what about isms”, “the left is more violent”, “the left hates everyone”, and borderline conspiracy theory non-sense. Even my own mom was pretty center left when I was growing up and now she’s bought into the non-sense because that’s the media she sees.
The right tells good tales, and a lot of people on the left are gate keeping, so… Just by fact of barrier to entry the right is going to be easier to drift towards. I hope we get our shit together.

Integrity of the model, inputs, and outputs, but with the potential to hide either the inputs or the model and maintain verifiability.
Definitely not reasoning, that’s a whole can of worms.
Zk in this context allows someone to be able to thoroughly test a model and publish the results with proof that the same model was used.
Blockchain for zk-ml is actually a great use case for 2 reasons:
Ahh, ya, so this is a deep rabbit hole but I will try to explain best I can.
Zero knowledge is a cryptographic way of proving that some computation was done correctly. This allows you to “hide” some inputs if you want.
In the context of the “ezkl” library, this allows someone to train a model and publicly commit to it by posting a hash of the model somewhere, and someone else can run inference on that model, and what comes out is the hash of the model and the output of the inference along with a cryptographic “proof” that anyone can verify that the computation was indeed done with that model and the result was correct, but the person running the inference could hide the input.
Or let’s say you have a competition for whoever can train the best classifier for some specific task. I could train a model and when I run it the test set inputs could be public, and I could “hide” the model but the zk computation would still reveal the hash of the model. So let’s say I won this competition, I could at the end reveal the model that I tried, and anyone would be able to check that the model I revealed and the model that was ran that beat everyone else was in fact the same model.
The model that is doing the inference is committed to before hand (it’s hashed) so you can’t lie about what model produced the inference. That is how ezkl, the underlying library, works.
I know a lot of people in this cryptography space, and there are definitely scammers across the general “crypto space”, but in the actual cryptography space most people are driven by curiosity or ideology.
Most of the people that I know that make decent money don’t use the service, but the people that work at restaurants or do gig work occasionally do… I don’t understand
SLA is also a mess
Same, I’ve got a modded 2080ti with 22gb of vram running deepseek 32b and it’s great… But it’s an old card, and with it being modded idk what the life expectancy is.
If AMD was smart they would release an upper-mid range card with like 40+ gb of vram. Doesn’t event have to be their high end card, people wanting to do local/self serve AI stuff would swarm on those.
The code is open source, people look at the code, I’ve dug through their code a fair bit. It wouldnt be quiet, and it would take major code rewrites, it would be pretty obvious
Accurate. And if you are being targeted by 5 eyes, your phone is probably fucked, one app vs another probably won’t make a difference
I was thinking the same. Next year it’ll be measured in milliseconds

All my personal devices are named “AHE”+n. So the abbreviation for “at heart engineer”+ a letter signifying the device. So my phone is “AHEM”, my laptop is “AHEL”, my desktop is “aheo” (O for office), my server is “ahes”.
