  • Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse : for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past. It is not that they are afraid of being convinced. They fear only to appear ridiculous or to prejudice by their embarrassment their hope of winning over some third person to their side.

    - Jean-Paul Sartre, Anti-Semite and Jew












  • Cool, thanks for the info. When I saw the memory bandwidth for the integrated systems like these, I thought perhaps it wouldn’t be worth it over a custom build with a couple of 5090s (2.5x the price before the memory price hike). What models have you thrown at it? What’s your tokens/second? The local-sized models keep getting more capable.

    My potato 2060 plus 64GB of system RAM is enough to crawl along with some of the MoE models, but I’ve got projects that need way more compute (would like to content filter my torrent crawler database, finetune of one of the small Qwens to produce my novel programming language, ML experiments that currently take days/weeks to iterate, etc). Maybe an integrated system like yours is worth it after all.
