I understand where you’re coming from and I probably wouldn’t have worded things in the same way the person you’re replying to is, but there are a lot of misconceptions out there around what atheism is. For example I’ve talked to people who exit Christianity and simultaneously call themselves atheists while developing a belief in a different god, and this is objectively not atheism. Similarly, there’s often an atheism vs. agnosticism confusion which I addressed in a different comment here.

Theism is the belief in a god or gods.

Atheism is the lack of that belief. You can be an atheist and simply lack belief, or you can affirmatively claim that no gods exist.

Many atheists are somewhat in the middle: for example, there are certain god claims that are so patently ridiculous (e.g. Xenu) that I do claim that they don’t exist, whereas there are others that are probably unfalsifiable (e.g. a deistic god) and so I don’t think it’s possible to make a legitimate claim that they don’t exist.

Agnosticism deals with knowledge, not belief. It’s right there in the word: “gnostos” is the Greek word for knowledge.

This is false when it comes to me to PCIe, as mentioned elsewhere in this thread.

Most motherboards have cutouts on one end of the PCIe x1/x4 slots, for exactly this situation. If not, and you want to be adventurous, you can cut the plastic of the slot and it’ll work fine.

If the card is PCIe 3.0 x4, and the slot is PCIe 4.0 x1, the card will run at PCIe 3.0 x1. But it’ll work.

Yeah I definitely get your point (and I didn’t downvote you, for the record). But I will note that ChatGPT generates text way faster than most people can read, and 4 tokens/second, while perhaps slower than reading speed for some people, is not that bad in my experience.

It depends on what you mean by “relative responsiveness”, but you can absolutely get ~4 tokens/sec of performance on R1 671b (Q4 quantized) from a system costing a fraction of the number you quote.

It is indeed called a refund by the IRS and all tax professionals. The person(s) attempting to correct your use of “refund” are wrong, but they were probably trying to make the point that giving a lot of extra money to the government interest-free is not a smart financial idea.

I used Kagi for a few months but was turned off by the fact that they developed an entire production line for making tee shirts vs. spending more time on making their service better.

Their CEO also doesn’t understand personal boundaries (or privacy laws, if he truly believes everything he says in these emails): https://discuss.techlore.tech/t/kagi-ceo-s-recent-controversy/8119/2

I went back to DuckDuckGo.
