Empirically, DS4 is hosting the DeepSeek v4 Flash model with good performance on home hardware. I'm curious how you came to this conclusion.

"Empirically", have you tested this yourself?

It's trivial to find reviews and benchmarks of DS4 online. Also, there are benchmarks in the article.

Here's one of the top hits: https://forums.developer.nvidia.com/t/fully-custom-cuda-nati...

Bizarre comment; sounds like "How do you know Porsches are fast? Did you drive one?"

Parent is simply pointing out the incorrect usage of "empirically", which should typically only be mentioned when you've tested it yourself.

I'm having trouble finding dictionaries or other references that add the qualifier that it needs to be self-tested and not relying on the research of others. Can you point me to one?

I don't think comments on the internet count as "empirical" evidence, but sure.

If you think antirez's benchmarks in the blog post are false, you should make the claim. Continue to move the goal posts.

Are you comparing an LLM running on a laptop to a Porsche?

I just find it really funny people are willing to write things like "empirically speaking, X is obvious" without actually testing it themselves.

I've seen mixed reviews, and the most honest sounding ones have said it has latency issues.

I don't really care that much what the average LLM power user says at this point, they're impressed by anything an LLM does. They're like toddler's entertained by the sound their Velcro shoes make.

You LLM people are going to be like my mom, once she got an Maps app she completely gave up on navigating anywhere with her own brain, and is lost without a phone.

Except for you LLM people, its going to be reading, writing, problem solving and thinking in general. You'll be completely reliant on an llm to get anything done, have fun with that. You're cooked bro.

It's funny because you make these assertions without any empiricism of your own. They're just speculations.

"You LLM people". Has it occurred to you that individuals have variation within groups?
