It's been a while since I've used it but Google cloud shell is a good free platform for learning Linux commands as well

How is the speed and stability?

These small Chinese companies dont always have access to serious hardware.


I’ve never had any problems with MiniMax. I wouldn’t call the speed fast exactly, but it’s faster than GLM and seems similar to Opus.

It’s been fast enough that I’ve been using it as my main model (M2.7 and before that, M2.5). Opus still does better at tasks, but MiniMax is so much cheaper. I’ve used their cheaper plan and I’ve never been rate limited.


You can use Gemini or NotebookLM to summarize it


OP is probably talking about shared vCPUs, not dedicated


For those, wouldn't hyperthreading be a win? Some fraction of the time, you'd get evicted to the hyperthread that shares your L1 cache (and the hypervisor could strongly favor that).


Two years after the imposition of a student cell phone ban, student test scores in a large urban school district were significantly higher than before, David N. Figlio and Umut Özek find in The Impact of Cell Phone Bans in Schools on Student Outcomes: Evidence from Florida (NBER Working Paper 34388).

Helps with the cooling is my guess. Increased surface area


Possibly if the case is being used as a heat sink, but in that case it would be unsafe to touch. I think it's just being used instead of a traditional mesh panel.


I'm pretty sure they just want to be coherent with the which has that "steel scrubber finish" on the hardware

YaCy (https://yacy.net) can do all this I think. Cloudflare might block you IP pretty soon though if you try to crawl.


You might be able to reach the intended audience at lesswrong forum. Can also ask Zvi (https://thezvi.substack.com/), astralcodexten, Marginal Revolution to publicize this.


Yes, please reach out and repost.

I didn't get the feeling that lesswrong is the right place for such a post. Is it? What tag should I use? Anything else I should know when posting there for these this kind of content?


Lesswrong is a AI Safety related forum. There have been previous funding posts on lesswrong. Can check them out.

Also, it would be better if you reach out to the other blogs since they might have some doubts regarding this program of yours.


Yes and you host out of someplace like Russia where the US publishers can't get you.


https://internet-in-a-box.org/ might come in handy.

Facebook tried the same in India but was quickly shutdown: https://www.wired.com/2016/02/facebooks-free-basics-app-is-n...


This stuff is such a gray area for me. I’m staunchly pro-net neutrality, but depriving people of the internet altogether means losing a huge asset for learning, a platform for financial success that otherwise is unattainable, and more.

But then you read about the success of Facebook in emerging markets in Africa and it becomes even murkier. Basics has caused Facebook to become utterly dominant in many African countries[0], and that’s precisely what net neutrality tries to prevent. That’s so much power. I don’t know what the right answer is.

Is Facebook a "huge asset for learning [and] a platform for financial success"? The utter dominance of Facebook surely prevents competitors that are better suited to these things. I am not at all sure that Facebook-only is superior to no internet at all.


> I am not at all sure that Facebook-only is superior to no internet at all

Insofar as the short term success of their users is considered, it's an unequivocal yes. There are an unbelievable number of African businesses that exist only because of the platform.

As you correctly call out, it's the longer timelines that make it a dubious proposition.


Thanks I'd not heard of internet in a box, I love how it empowers people to determine their own requirements and solve their own issues rather than just be another excuse to form more dependencies on facebook.
