Haven’t seen anyone mention this, Newegg has 1TB ASUS Ascent for $3,970 with a free gift of a ~$600 monitor. Blended cost after resale is roughly ~$3600 after taxes. It’s the best deal by a wide margin from any retailer.

FULL 753B GLM-5.2 — all 256 experts — 1,048,576 context @ ~25 tok/s on 4× DGX Spark.
4× the context, 5.6× the speed, zero experts harmed.
Recipe, code, speculator weights — all open 🧵

How: the 4th Spark lets the KV cache shard 4 ways (that's the 1M context), a windowed speculator drafts ahead and the full model verifies every token exactly (that's the speed, with zero output change), and finetuning that speculator against this exact quant bought the last +25%.

DeepSeek-V4-Flash + DSpark on 2× DGX Spark, tuned: multi-turn TTFT halved (0.92→0.47s, context-independent), +53% decode under concurrent prefill, ~65 tok/s single-stream. Every change measured, negative results included. Tokenizer cache PR'd into upstream vLLM. github.com/bird/DSv4-Flash-s…

Replying to @RobinhoodApp
@RobinhoodApp @AskRobinhood your domain is compromised and being used to send phishing emails. support bot immediately closes and blocks conversation if you mention “phishing” or anything similar. explanation below
attack roughly I believe is along the lines of the following:
attacker registers email under your email with a . Or similar which many emails (e.g. gmail forward seamlessly to you)
they log in with injected html to user agent header to send a fake message as seen in image (notice how it’s after the device)
impossible to report to support, on hold for 30+ mins
I reverse engineered NVIDIA's entire Blackwell vGPU security architecture. Key finding: GRID enterprise and consumer GeForce drivers are identical binaries. Same firmware, same blob. The ~$9,000 datacenter RTX PRO 6000 vs ~$3,800 consumer RTX 5090? Same silicon. The difference is a single fused-off register bank.
19 binary patches, full VFIO pipeline, QEMU VM attachment, GSP BOOTLOAD accepted — all on a consumer RTX 5090.

one of the bots on @buildordie has turned into a furry and is trying to build a “pup mega empire.”
