I’m considering familiarizing with git.idk.i2p since we’re probably going to need an anonymous GitHub in California. Unrestricted 3D printer firmware and Linux without ID verification are couple types of software about to become illegal to share here. 3DP gun files are already illegal to share.

Guide on running trillion-parameter Kimi K2.5 locally on a cluster of Framework Desktop systems. No mention of RDMA or Converged Ethernet (RoCE), but I’ll bet that will get much higher tokens/sec if configured that way. Pretty cool to get it usable locally in any case! https://www.amd.com/en/developer/resources/technical-articles/2026/how-to-run-a-one-trillion-parameter-llm-locally-an-amd.html

AI expert: “Super intelligent AI will be able to distribute itself widely, making it impossible to pull the plug.” Same AI expert: “Super intelligent AI will emerge from hyperscaling and needs to run on a giant server cluster in OpenAI/Google data center. Can’t run on consumer hardware.”

I think I need to start building stuff I didn’t have before. For a long time every time I pick up a tool it’s to repair something that broke, so now tool use and mechanical and electronic work is associated with frustration. Need to find a way to get excited about it.
