If your focus is LLMs, get a 3090 gpu. Vram is the most important thing here because it determines what models you can load and run at a decent speed, and having 24Gb will let you run the mid range models that specifically target this amount of memory because of this being a very standard amount to have for hobbyists. These models are viable for coding, the smaller ones are less so. Looking at prices it seems like you can get this card for 1-2k depending on if you go used or refurbished. I don't know if better price options are going to be available soon but with the ram shortage and huge general demand it kind of doesn't seem like it.

If you want to focus on image or video generation instead, I understand that there are advantages to going with newer generation cards because certain features and speed is more of a factor than just vram but I know less about this.

Honestly I dislike using 'communities' there because it creates this forced ambiguity whether you are talking about a literal community of people or the software.

I wouldn't go as far as claiming it doesn't reveal any info, all I'm saying here is that there are more security guarantees, and demonstrated security failures of Tor related to adversarial exit nodes don't necessarily apply to onion services. I don't really know much beyond that.

Usually, whenever a Tor user is surfing around, their connection exits the Tor network at some point to reach a destination on the internet.

But with Onion Services, the communication from one point to another happens entirely inside the Tor network, all the time.

are you saying that if a site is entirely hosted on TOR then no information makes it to an endpoint?

Basically yeah. My understanding is that exit nodes are special and using them is a vulnerability, but you only use exit nodes to access clearnet sites from Tor, and you are less vulnerable if you aren't doing that and rather going to sites with .onion urls. Which, unfortunately I can't find one for this website, but I'm thinking they'd probably consider making one if they can't maintain any clearnet domains anymore.

In this scenario it wouldn't matter because the idea is to use it as a way to access a website that would otherwise be accessed over clearnet but has become inaccessible. But if they made an onion site endpoints wouldn't be used anyway afaik since the traffic doesn't leave the network. Now that I'm thinking about it there might be some issues with practicality doing it this way if they have a big volume of traffic, but there are options for routing around censorship that don't involve DNS.

Maybe this will prompt some people to learn to use Tor

Because he keeps being enough of an embarrassing idiot in public to write roast articles about that can attract people's attention, I guess

Is MeshCore a separate network?

Fuck Bill Clinton for passing the DMCA

Is this why the Spotify section on their torrent page says "Unavailable until further notice."?

and once you make amazing entertainment you have to market it worldwide, and the people who are best at marketing entertainment worldwide are big, significant entertainment enterprises with the balance sheet to actually support those launches, companies like us. So I feel more optimistic than ever that new technology is going to allow us to supercharge our business.

So the argument is basically that their company will not be overshadowed because they're using AI too, and because the important part of making a successful game is advertising it.
