This is based on a misunderstanding of how prices are set. The price is set based on what the market can bear. Costs pretty much only determine if the thing is worth making, given that.

It's the same reason rent doesn't go down when property taxes do. I mention this not to tear you down, but because it's a common argument for bad policy.

I use separate buttons for that, but it has pages, so you could do something with that.

I have something similar to this, but I initially used an old android tablet running Macro Deck, an open source application that basically replies a stream deck. It has a good ecosystem of plugins for stuff like home assistant, and it was easy to add command line stuff to talk to custom electronics.

The upgrade path is good too. I ultimately switched it out for custom hardware, but it just sends keyboard shortcuts to trigger macro deck.

After going in suspicious, this actually sounds like a pretty decent idea.

The technology isn't stopping or going away any more than the cotton gin did. May as well put control in as many hands as possible. The alternative is putting it under the sole control of a few megacorps, which seems worse. Is there another option I'm not seeing?

I did. I'm not convinced the author knows the space very well though. There are larger models out there with similarly absent safety features. This isn't a remarkable release, and the tone is of ragebait.

Guardrails are a term of art for something like Nemo, which is more like the unreal ramen shop demo or a corporate chatbot. Most raw open models I've tried will tell you how to make meth if you ask them.

It's a 7b model. There are plenty of other larger open source models out already. I fail to see the issue.

Thanks! Might steal that for my setup.

I'm not sure, but what are the wheels mapped to? Are they scroll or mouse x/y/something else?

I once used it to throw an unreachable chest into a chaam out of spite...

If you haven't played Inscryption, just ignore everything else and do that first. It's the most innovative deckbuilding game I've played, but saying more would spoil it.

Ascension is a short-ish one I've sunk a lot of hours into. It's sort of like dominion meets Magic. The expansions make it a lot more interesting, but the full package is pretty cheap. It was designed by an MTG pro player who was sick of exactly that.

Black book is excellent, and managers to put a compelling narrative spin on a TCG.

Monster train is a good "it's like slay the spire, but not slay the spire" option for when you just can't look at another shiv.

I have a similar build for similar reasons. It works great, though I use Windows, so no driver issues (VR introduces too much jank with Linux). Notes below.

CUDA is essential. Definitely the right call paying the Nvidia tax.

My Gigabyte 4090 works for LLM stuff without a second card, and has no coil whine I can hear. I use Alpaca 4-bit entirely in VRAM, and SDXL runs like a dream. I only have 48GB of RAM total, but VRAM is pretty much always the limiting factor (if I understand correctly, it works best when you have at least enough spare RAM as you have VRAM when you're loading the model, but after that the computation is on the GPU if you have a 4090. Moving layers to the CPU/RAM drops performance fast). I have an A4000 in another machine that I was planning to add with a riser cable, and I just haven't bothered because I didn't end up needing it.

Leaving the upgrade path open is a solid choice. The space is so volatile that it's impossible to predict what the requirements will be like in six months. They could even go down like they did when 4-bit happened.

I use an external DAC, so can't speak to the whine there. They're not that expensive though.

If I were you, I'd look into something like the HP Reverb G2 that has inside-out tracking (no external cameras or lighthouses). The immersion you get with VR is way beyond anything you can get from a screen.

My full setup a Vive Pro 2 with a VKB HOSAS setup and a YawVR 2, and it feels spectacular, though getting interdicted the first time almost made me piss myself.
