Running 1T+ Models on Shared GPU Meshes?

Look, I'm probably the idiot here, but I really want to be able to use things like Kimi K3 with hardware I actually own. I suspect there may be other people that are also dreaming of this day, but ultimately have a single GPU dangling by a thread from their machine. So, I wonder if a group of us could put our GPUs into a cluster and essentially time-share our much larger cluster to actually run frontier-level models as a group? The cost is simple: you get your portion of the cluster's compute for free. If you want more, you essentially beg, borrow, or buy it.

Why hasn't this been done? Have I missed something in the market?

NASA SBIR Responses Showing Up ..

So far, out of my 4 attempts to work with NASA this last cycle, across appendix A and B, I received two rejections so far. Emails showed up one after another. Two others are still pending, not sure what that means or how the results are being communicated...

FLNC AH - is there any value here?

So, I honestly dodged the ultimate bullet buying FLNC yesterday, but now, after hours, this thing is trading down almost 30% from just a day ago. Is there value here? I'm debating sliding in for a quick steal on this, but no idea..

Assuming you are on a $200 plan, why use anything but GPT 5.6 Sol Ultra right now? Serious question.

I'm burning billlions of tokens, working super ineffeciently, experimenting at leisure, running session after session after session in parallel. And I've looked at the Sol, Terra, Luna. I've seen all these various levels of those things. I think Luna might be good for coding or something? Who even knows, it's all too much and I can't be bothered to waste a singular token to figure out what all those products mean or do.

One day, I assume Tibo won't just hand out tokens like this. And I'll be an absolute mercenary and depart for the cheapest token provider that seems reasonable. Over time, I bet there's a lot more differentiation on this, but I have no clue how I'll figure that out right now.

SOCOM Responses?

Good news: SOCOM responded. Bad news: SOCOM rejected both of my proposals.

Here's the question: what can or should you expect when you request feedback in DSIP?

2027 Kia Telluride Hybrid High Voltage System Diagrams?

Heyyo! We are happy owners of our 2027 SXP Hybrid AWD Telluride. It's turning into a true workhorse for the family. I'm the kind of guy that loves fully understanding mechanical systems even when they're complex. I was looking for the diagrams and specs on the high voltage power system in the Telluride. I'm just curious about how things are repaired, how they're accessed, how they are placed, etc. And broadly, I'm eager to understand how to safely and enthusiastically maintain this critical piece of the car!

view cabin temperature from app? '27 telluride

I feel like this must be obvious, but how do I view the cabin temperature of the car? I'm trying to avoid remote starting it unless I have to. :)

Value in WA SBIR assistance? Seattle area...

I've finally gotten a moment to take a break from writing a slew of proposals for the SBIR program at few different agencies. Enormous amounts of effort for what feels like a potential unknowable shot in the dark. With the work now behind me, I'm trying to find more ways to help bolster my chances as I prepare to write the next set of proposals. I keep reading in this subreddit about the value of the state assistance programs, but I'm genuinely unclear about this and what else is _truly_ worthy of time beyond writing acutal proposals...

New '27 Telluride SXP Hybrid Owner (MSRP -3990) - No Negotation in PNW

This also was made in the USA to qualify for the auto interest deduction if that matters to you! I heard from every dealer in this regio that nobody would negotiate on the price of the Telluride. So, I just waited, stalked visor.vin and as soon as I saw a price in my area that was what I wanted (~4k off MSRP), I just offered the dealership what they asked. A ton of dealers are just running scams, to be fair, where their "price" is not their price. If you don't want to wait, buy at the end of the month, and in the PNW there's at least 1250 that Costco pricing is offering off MSRP.

FYI, they also tried to sell me some kind of extended warranty. I'm actually interested in an extended warranty, but from KIA, ideally. No idea about how that works or how pricing and whatnot works.

End of Life Strategy for a 2007 Honda Acccord EX V6 (Killed by Oakland, CA)

Totalled in Oakland, CA (just parked, hit and run, wild.)

Not obvious, but totaled in Oakland, CA (donor doors make it look better, hit by a semi truck!)

Hard to see, but totaled again in Oakland, CA (swiped across the side by a crazy person)

So, the moment has arrived. My accord has done everything annd it is closer to me than some of my family. We are adding a new car to the home, and I received an offer for $300 by the dealership selling me the new car to basically dispose of my baby. To be fair, the car has been beaten to hell. The interior is startingn to fall apart too. The engine, for the first time ever, is now starting with the smell of oil burning off (probably an engine gasket failing now). But it's driven 240k miles. It's survived being totalled three times. It's been treated like an animal, towing thousands of pounds thousands of miles and it's just carrying on. If I didn't have to part with this car, I'd probably take it with me to my grave.

So. When the time comes, what do you do with your cars?

New '26 Carnival SX Prestige Hybrid w/o RES (PNW)

Hey! I'm making the mistake of shopping for a Carnival before the end of the month, but we're trying ot buy a Kia Carnival right now. We're getting a deal that cuts the MSRP by 2825 (c/o Costco). We're thinkinng about maxing out the down payment and paying off the KFA deal for 2,000 as quickly as we can.

My question: what kind of MSRP rebate are you seeing for these cars right now? Does it matter that we are focused on a car with tuscan umber interior and no vip lounge seats?

And if you happenn to be selling this car, ping me!

With one founder in a new company, how do you defend key personnel in a phase 1 proposal?

I'm actively looking at a few of the DON topics right now and I'm staritng to wonder if the 140k they're offering for phase 1 work will be reasonable to attach anyone beyond myself to the proposal. Generally, I wonder how SBIR proposals in Phase 1 are considered when it's really just a single founder that's defending the proposal and is planning to work on the proposal..
