Whatever your personal feeling, judgement, or conviction on this matter; do not dismiss the other side because of a couple wingnuts saying crazy stuff (you can find them on both extremes as well as the middle). Stay curious as to why people have their own conviction, and seek the truth!
The problem with fentanyl is not that people are putting in too much. It’s that it’s extremely potent so it’s too easy to accidentally put too much in.
The problem is that the typical delivery mechanism for this drug is a highly-dilute injection or transdermal patch - not 'geometric' dilution into pills in Jose's basement with questionable fillers.
The substance is too potent per physical unit of weight and volume to be conveniently dosed through other means.
I derive the majority of my hobby satisfaction from getting stuff done, not enjoying the process of crafting software. We probably enjoy quite different aspects of tinkering! LLMs make me have so much more fun.
It’s not that hard. You would not expect 5 sec drift on phones that can sync time on the web at least once a day or once a week. A basic quartz crystal can keep time to within seconds per month of drift. High quality phones can do the same or better. Also the phone should keep track of system time as epoch time, and convert to local.

Yes, but imagine your local time is US Pacific time, but you have a phone intended to be sold in Mexico, so your phone only has Mexico time zones and MX Pacific Time has no DST. During part of the year, you can use automatic time sync, but during the summer, you disable automatic sync and set the clock so that the time displayed matches local time. Your epoch time is now an hour ahead of properly synched devices, but whatevs, your phone shows the right time and that's what counts.
Let's say 1.5tok/sec, and that your rig pulls 500 W. That's 10.8 tok/Wh, and assuming you pay, say 15c/kWh means you're paying in the vicinity of $13.8/mtok of output. Looking at R1 output costs on OpenRouter, it's costing about 5-7x as much as what you can pay for third party inference (which also produce tokens ~30x faster).
I hate the ad business model as much as the next person, but this is a pipe dream. Meta had ~$50b in revenue on ads last quarter, and 3.54b “daily active people” whatever that means. That’s in the order of $1/“dap”/week, and there is just absolutely no way any meaningful proportion of their userbase would be paying that much for these apps.
