Ampdot: /* Fractional Kelly betting */

Polymarket can be used to make money and to hedge against possible risks.

== Trading / betting ==

=== Depositing ===
The default deposit method costs ~13 basis points or 0.13%. You can avoid this fee by:

* Deposit with card: For beginners, this offers the smoothest experience. You don't even need a crypto wallet to do it.
* Getting USDC on the Polygon PoS chain yourself and using the "deposit crypto" option. ~10 basis points plus possible bridge fee
* Getting USDC on the Polygon PoS chain yourself and swapping for USDC.E yourself. ~5 basis points plus possible swap and/or bridge fee
* For advanced users: The default deposit dialog is an accouintless centralized exchange that enforces OFAC sanctions. Any method to send USDC.E to a Polygon PoS wallet will work. Note that different L2s have different "USDC.E" tokens, and it needs to be USDC.E wrapped by the official Polygon bridge- not USDC issued natively by Circle.

Always test with small amounts when trying a new method first.

== Hedging / insuring ==
Polymarket tends to have a bias towards things happening, so it tends to offer poor (but still sometimes useful) prices for insurance.<ref name=":0">https://news.polymarket.com/p/286-to-1m-from-reversing-stupidity</ref> However, it can offer a potentially useful venue to create [https://www.simplify.us/simplify101/what-is-convexity convex portfolios].

== Trading strategies ==

* For large orders in markets with decent volume, place limit orders at or near the current price and wait for fills to trickle in if you don't expect the price to move quickly on its own
* have ways of knowing orthogonal to the market and bet when multiple of those point in the same direction
* nothing ever happens
* thoroughly research things, don't bet on impulse, multiple rounds of analysis are good
* place limit orders to get good prices
* oracle risk (misresolution risk)
* avoid sports, crypto, mentions, earnings, and stocks. these markets are either random or too efficient due to people poring over spreadsheets already
* read and understand the market rules in detail
* if you think a probability is approximately correct, place yes and no orders on both sides and then merge them together into USDC later
* For beginners, making money is more about avoiding dumb bets and bet sizing than betting smart.
* If you're worried an opportunity will disappear before you have a chance to bet on it, increase your bet size as you gain confidence by researching the opportunity, instead of betting all at once
* If you have a smaller amount of money to bet (a smaller '''bankroll'''), bet on lower liquidity markets that aren't worthwhile for larger traders

=== Fractional Kelly betting ===
The '''Kelly criterion''' or '''formula''' describes the theoretical optimal maximum size to bet as a portion of the participant's bankroll, assuming the bettor has perfect knowledge and zero risk aversion. '''Fractional Kelly''' (often referred to as just "'''Kelly betting'''") is a strategy that some real-world market participants use for bet sizing, which multiplies the Kelly criterion by a percent. For example, "25% Kelly" means to bet a quarter of what the Kelly criterion would suggest. Colloquially, this fraction is known as the '''Kelly factor''', and is used to describe the maximum or present bet amount relative to the bankroll.

On its own, the Kelly criterion only takes into account the market probability and your probability. Fractional Kelly takes into account your confidence level. Neither take into account market spreads nor other possible competing uses of your time and money.

* Beginner traders should cap their bets at 25% Kelly
** This smooths out losses and cushions their emotional impact
* Skilled traders should cap their bets at 50% Kelly
** Traders should be prepared by having the emotional fortitude to handle losing money. Otherwise, the first time you get burned, you'll reduce your Kelly factor
** Roughly, for each $1 of upside risk you get beyond 50% Kelly, you get $3 of downside risk
*The specific Kelly factor you use for a given market should be based on how confident you are in your prediction, and how many risks you've accounted for (such as model error, oracle risks, black swans)

=== Pitfalls ===

* Kalshi has a track record of misresolving markets or silently changing rules
* Many prediction markets (e.g. Coinbase Predict) are actually frontends to Kalshi
* Some markets are largely noise unless you have a detailed model of what's going on, including, in descending order of randomness: Earnings, sports, crypto, app store rankings, and mentions. Avoid betting on them unless you know what you're doing!
* Avoid markets with ambiguity or misresolution risk. Markets linked to an organization taking action in response to the event may resolve based on when the organization announces it, not when the event happens.
* Ask yourself if there is potential for semantic ambiguity before trading on an event contract and avoid betting if so
* The user aenews is known to win markets by manipulating the oracle into misresolving markets. Check if they're betting on a market and be aware of elevated risk if they are

Ampdot: /* After Booking */

= Travel =

== General Flight Planning ==

=== Before You Book ===

* '''Transit to Airport''': Check if public transit is available at your departure and arrival times. Factor in cost and time for non-transit options.
* '''Airport Selection''': Some cities have multiple airports - compare total travel costs including ground transportation.
* '''Flight Flexibility''': United Basic Economy (no carry-on) and Spirit don't offer flight flexibility. You can purchase flexibility from Spirit separately.
* '''Route Changes''': On most airlines (except Spirit and Frontier), you can often modify flights to extend stays - usually cheaper than booking return trips later.

=== Search Tools ===

* '''[https://matrix.itasoftware.com/search ITA Matrix]''': Advanced flight search engine with more sophisticated querying than Google Flights and often more current results since it doesn't rely on caching.

== Discounts and Special Programs ==

=== Youth Discounts ===

* '''[https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/mileageplus/young-adult-discount.html United Airlines]''': 5% off flights for ages 18-23 (valid through December 31st, 2025)
* '''[https://www.amtrak.com/student-discounts Amtrak]''': 15% off train tickets for students ages 17-24
* '''[https://www.studentuniverse.com/flights Student Universe]''': Discounted flights for college students

=== Credit Card Points / Airline Miles ===

* '''Search Engines''': [https://www.pointhound.com/ Pointhound] and [https://roame.travel/ Roame] specialize in point redemption searches
* '''Best Value''': High-end flights (like direct transcontinental/transoceanic routes) typically offer the most value per point
* You can buy frequent flyer points at a rate of 1.6-1.9c and then purchase business and first class flights with them using 50-60K points

== After Booking ==

=== Pre-Flight Preparation ===

* '''Timing''': Set alarm for airport departure time + 30 minutes for last-minute packing
* '''Hydration''': Bring a large water bottle (24oz+) to fill after security - cabin humidity is very low (10-20%)
* '''Electrolytes''': Consume sodium and potassium-rich foods before and during flight
* '''Medication''': Pack extra doses in multiple compartments, keep in carry-on for easy access

=== Long-Haul Flight Tips ===

* '''Timezone Adjustment''': Set devices to destination timezone when boarding and sync eating/drinking accordingly
* '''Comfort''': Wear clothes you're comfortable being in for extended periods

=== Destination-Specific Tips ===

==== Japan ====

* Bring multiple debit cards for cash access and transportation card payments

== Airline-specific tips ==

=== Alaska Airlines ===
The "same-day change" feature often charges you a large fee when using the regular change flight interface would be free, if your ticket isn't Basic Economy.

== Alternative Travel Options ==

=== Frontier GoWild! All-You-Can-Fly Pass ===
''For travelers with flexible schedules who prioritize cost savings over convenience''

The GoWild! Pass offers unlimited flights for a fixed subscription price, with flights available for $0.01 plus taxes/fees (typically ~$14.60 domestic).

'''Key Features:'''

* Access to all Frontier domestic and international destinations
* Domestic flights: book 1 day before departure
* International flights: book 10 days before departure
* Various subscription options: annual, seasonal, monthly

'''Limitations:'''

* Last-minute booking requirements
* Additional costs for baggage and seat selection
* Blackout dates during peak periods
* Subject to availability

'''Route Planning Strategy:'''

* Use the [https://www.flightconnections.com/route-map-frontier-airlines-f9 interactive Frontier route map] for planning
* Prioritize direct flights when possible
* Transform long layovers into stopovers to visit additional cities
* Check multiple airports in metro areas (e.g., Chicago: ORD/MDW, DC area: BWI/DCA)
* Compare different days - schedules vary significantly by day of week
* Check historical delay data using FlightStats or FlightAware

'''Booking Tips:'''

* Check prices frequently - discounted rates often available 24-48 hours before departure
* Treat like public transit: focus on functionality over luxury
* Build buffer time for delays
* Pack light to avoid baggage fees

* Set up an [https://www.amazon.co.jp/ Amazon.co.jp] account to be able to order things in Japan. Phone number verification is required to do so, non-Japanese phone numbers work, but you may or may not be able to receive texts in Japan, and if it does, it may be inconsistent
* Modify 2FA settings for any critical services (such as finance or airbnb) to avoid relying on phone numbers
** If you're eligible, register a Google Voice number to replace your domestic phone number
*Bring as many '''debit cards''' as possible. You need it to withdraw cash from an ATM to recharge transport cards, and if you lose one, it is critical you can continue to withdraw cash.

==== Prepare to fly on Zipair ====

* Check the weight of your bag. If your bags are higher than the weight limit, purchase extra weight at least 24 hours beforehand or reduce the weight.
** You will be forced to check overweight carry-ons, which may lead to important items you wanted to use during the flight being inaccessible.

=== Find a place to stay ===

==== Hotels ====
* Recommended for small groups between one and three people
* Avoid rooms where smoking is permitted
* Book a '''minimum''' of 14 days ahead
* APA Hotel is a bad experience and more expensive. but when booking late, it is sometimes the only option close to the city center.
* The year a hotel was constructed is a potential indicator of what features it will have. For example, older hotels may not have per-room AC

===== Hotel check out =====
* Return room keys to check out
** There will usually be a hefty penalty if the keys are not returned
* You can usually pay 1000-2000¥/hour to get late checkout as late as 1pm-2pm

==== Manga cafe ====

* You can rent a private room in a manga cafe for many hours continuously
* Cheap, ~$15/night, ~$30/24hrs
* Inside city center
* Excellent option for spontaneous daytrips and for saving money

=== Connect to the internet ===

==== Mobile data ====

* If your phone supports eSIM, purchase and install an eSIM profile from these providers:
** [https://www.airalo.com/ Airalo], on the KDDI/SoftBank network - more popular with tourists, cheaper and more convenient
** [https://www.sakuramobile.jp/ Sakura Mobile] - on the NTT Docomoco/IIJ network - more popular with locals, more expensive but generally faster overall, tends to struggle in areas with lots of locals
* If your phone does not support eSIM,
** you can purchase a physical SIM card from a local convenience store. Roughly 1 in 4 konbinis have them, ask for a "sim kado." It takes roughly 15 minutes to find a convenience store with one in Tokyo. Airport SIM cards are very expensive and the Keisei Express from Narita has free wifi.
** or you can [https://esim.me/ purchase a physical eSIM to SIM card adapter]. It ships from Germany, so it's best to do this ahead of time or while using a different solution
* '''Free''' wi-fi is common in Japan. All Lawson convenience stores have free wifi. Many of them require verifying an email. Some commercial streets, especially around youth-oriented areas like Akihabara and Shinsaibashi, offer high-speed free wifi. The [https://www.ntt-bp.net/jw-auto/en/index.html Japan Wi-Fi Auto-Connect] app automatically connects you to nearby wifi networks without needing to verify an email and connects you to new ones as you move, but it consumes lots of battery life. Caveat: Shinkansen wi-fi tends to be fairly slow and only good for basic browsing and low bitrate calls.

==== High-speed internet (>100 Mbps) ====

* Some hotels have 200-800Mbps connections, though the speed varies throughout the day
* Most hotels have an Ethernet port, you can obtain an Ethernet to USB-C adapter by asking the front desk or purchasing one online or at an electronics retailer. The Ethernet speed is usually somewhat (up to 2x) faster than the Wi-Fi speed.
* Manga cafes are the best way to temporarily access low-latency and fast internet, up to 800Mbps

=== Set up personal infrastructure ===

* Withdraw 5,000-10,000¥ from an ATM to pay at transit, arcades, gachapon, and some restaurants
* Download the Google Translate app. The camera function lets you translate Japanese signs and menus

=== Maintain a good schedule ===

* To be online at the same time as your friends in North America and Europe, you get up early or stay up late. While nightclubs stay open as late as 3am, most stores close at 8pm, so an early-to-rise schedule is generally recommended. 6am Japan time is 2pm PT and 5pm ET, so 8am is 4pm PT and 7pm ET.

Search engines

2025-09-25T04:18:59Z

Ampdot:

* https://kagi.com "small web" filter has a custom index that ranks websites that don't have analytics and ads higher (by running uBlock Origin on the website to detect them)
* https://search.marginalia.nu is a curated index of personal websites, much thinner
* https://exa.ai/search works well as long as you write a good prompt and skim the top 10
* https://websets.exa.ai/websets/ good for compiling lists and finding rare results- embeddings-based search combined with AI filtering (partial matches are useful to mine)

Ampdot: /* Alternative Travel Options */

= Travel =

== General Flight Planning ==

=== Before You Book ===

* '''Transit to Airport''': Check if public transit is available at your departure and arrival times. Factor in cost and time for non-transit options.
* '''Airport Selection''': Some cities have multiple airports - compare total travel costs including ground transportation.
* '''Flight Flexibility''': United Basic Economy (no carry-on) and Spirit don't offer flight flexibility. You can purchase flexibility from Spirit separately.
* '''Route Changes''': On most airlines (except Spirit and Frontier), you can often modify flights to extend stays - usually cheaper than booking return trips later.

=== Search Tools ===

* '''[https://matrix.itasoftware.com/search ITA Matrix]''': Advanced flight search engine with more sophisticated querying than Google Flights and often more current results since it doesn't rely on caching.

== Discounts and Special Programs ==

=== Youth Discounts ===

* '''[https://www.united.com/en/us/fly/mileageplus/young-adult-discount.html United Airlines]''': 5% off flights for ages 18-23 (valid through December 31st, 2025)
* '''[https://www.amtrak.com/student-discounts Amtrak]''': 15% off train tickets for students ages 17-24
* '''[https://www.studentuniverse.com/flights Student Universe]''': Discounted flights for college students

=== Credit Card Points / Airline Miles ===

* '''Search Engines''': [https://www.pointhound.com/ Pointhound] and [https://roame.travel/ Roame] specialize in point redemption searches
* '''Best Value''': High-end flights (like direct transcontinental/transoceanic routes) typically offer the most value per point
* You can buy frequent flyer points at a rate of 1.6-1.9c and then purchase business and first class flights with them using 50-60K points

== After Booking ==

=== Pre-Flight Preparation ===

* '''Timing''': Set alarm for airport departure time + 30 minutes for last-minute packing
* '''Hydration''': Bring a large water bottle (24oz+) to fill after security - cabin humidity is very low (10-20%)
* '''Electrolytes''': Consume sodium and potassium-rich foods before and during flight
* '''Medication''': Pack extra doses in multiple compartments, keep in carry-on for easy access

=== Long-Haul Flight Tips ===

* '''Timezone Adjustment''': Set devices to destination timezone when boarding and sync eating/drinking accordingly
* '''Comfort''': Wear clothes you're comfortable being in for extended periods

=== Destination-Specific Tips ===

==== Japan ====

* Bring multiple debit cards for cash access and transportation card payments

Japanese learning resources

2025-09-05T14:25:11Z

Ampdot:

== Gamb's Guide ==
This is the main resource that I was using to give an order to learn things in. It's focused on being able to read untranslated visual novels in Japanese. It proposes:

* Learning hiragana and katakana first
* Learning grammar from reading a textbook as fast as possible
* Then learning vocabulary from flashcards until you know 2000 - 6000 words
* Then reading native material (namely, VNs)

== djtguide Learn Kana ==
A [https://djtguide.github.io/learn/kana.html kana recognition training game]. Shows you a kana and scores you on whether you recognize it, with the ability to choose which kana are shown (so you can fully learn five, and then the next five, and so on).

== Duolingo ==
Duolingo's focus on teaching is listening practice for individual Japanese sentences, and handwriting practise for kana and kanji.

== WaniKani ==
WaniKani teaches reading individual words, focusing on reading kanji, hence the name.

The advice for learning Japanese kanji given in Gamb's guide is that kanji don't appear on their own and don't have pronunciations independent of being in words; in Japanese, kanji are just sememes. There's hence no meaningful notion of "learning kanji" seperately from learning vocabulary.

WaniKani disbelieves this, and instead

* teaches a set of WaniKani platform-specific kanji-parts, called radicals, that each appear in many kanji. Because these are formed from the same generator of breaking down kanij, WaniKani's radical list has overlap with other lists of radicals
* once a radical has been learned, teaches the kanji that contain that radical, with their primary meaning and the list of possible pronunciations that it can take when it appears in a word
* once the kanji and its pronunciations have been learned, teaches words that contain that kanji.

Each radical, kanji and word come with associated mneumonics for the shape and where relevant pronunciation.

This means that rather than learning kanji as being drawn from the infinite space of possible squiggles, they're learned as draws from a more finite space of easier-to-learn WaniKani radicals; and rather than learning words as being drawn from a large space of valid strings of Japanese phonemes, from a more finite space of possible readings for their component kanji; at the cost of adding a lot of additional scaffolding to learn that isn't used at higher levels or outside of WaniKani.

== Iago ==

== Anki ==

== Dictionaries ==
Wiktionary contains basically every Japanese word. The benefit I find from Wiktionary is that, for each word, it includes the Japanese word, and the Chinese etymology of the kanji, which can make the meaning clearer or more memorable. For example, the page for 食 has

* every definition and reading of 食 used in Japanese
* the Kangxi radical and composition; in this case, it's 食 with no extra strokes
* the etymology; it explains that 食 in the Oracle Bone script was a picture of a mouth over a bowl of rice.

The Oxford Beginner's Japanese Dictionary has a subset of Japanese words, because dictionaries are finite in size. It's a paper dictionary, which I like. It's bilingual between Japanese and British English

You can reduce your suffering by following these guidelines. ampdot used to get sniffles a third of the time after flying and feel mildly tired for a few hours as amp's immune system fought off a small amount of viral load. You can also make mild and short infections happen much more infrequently.

= Guidelines =
* Wear a P100 respirator or N100 disposable mask in crowded areas, such as a plane or airport. They cost about $35 and deliver quickly. [https://www.amazon.com/GVS-SPR457-Elipse-Respirator-Medium/dp/B013SIIBFQ/ Here is one ampdot recommends.]
** Disposable P100 masks also exist.
* Get vaccinated, and get boosted. You should have your second booster, for a total of four shots. An updated vaccine is available as of October 1st.
* When running indoor events, '''purchase a HEPA filter'''. Target has same-day delivery for a small $5 fee, and you can return it afterwards. They reduce transmission by a five-fold factor. Alternatively, open some windows.
* Be mindful of going into crowded indoor spaces and consider wearing a mask if you visit them frequently. According to [https://microcovid.org microcovid.org], a N95 mask reduces transmission rates by 3x, a surgical mask by 2x, and a thick and snug cloth mask by 1.5x.

-- and [[Module:Yesno]] to be available on the local wiki. It can be --
-- configured for different wikis by altering the values in --
-- [[Module:Category handler/config]], and pages can be blacklisted --
-- from categorisation by using [[Module:Category handler/blacklist]]. --

== Revenue ==

=== Grants ===
Message [https://matrix.to/#/@moonfern:mesh.host moonfern] about Project Stratosphere (a rough prototype of a grant aggregator/search engine) to find publicly known grants that might be relevant to you. Project Stratosphere is still in development and may be unreliable.

=== Crowdfunding ===
[https://manifund.org/ Manifund] can be used as a 501(c)3 eligible fiscal sponsor for projects with charitable or altruistic aims.

=== P2P funding ===
Gifts within the [https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/frequently-asked-questions-on-gift-taxes annual or lifetime exclusion limit] are not taxable. If you would be put in a higher tax bracket than your recipient would be put in, less taxes would need be paid total if you gift the recipient the asset (such as stocks or crypto) and they sell it immediately, than if you sell it and gift them the returns. Make sure to compensate for the taxes they will need to pay when converting to stock, since they will inherit your [https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/investment-income/determine-cost-basis-stock-received-gift/L4bZeNvpc_US_en_US cost basis].

== Expenses ==

=== Cryptocurrency ===

==== On and off ramps ====
Kraken is the best centralized exchange (CEX) for buying cryptocurrencies. You can get the best rates by using [https://pro.kraken.com Kraken Pro] (it's free, just a different user interface with lower fees) and checking "Post only."

Coinbase is the best way to liquidate USDC for USD– it does so at a 1:1 ratio with high limits.

==== Wallets ====
For Ethereum usage on desktop, Rabby is recommended. It supports hardware wallets, bridging between L2s, has an integrated browser for interacting with web3 applications ("dapps"), and you can pay gas using USDC. For Ethereum usage in a browser, Rainbow wallet is recommended.

=== Medical debt ===
* Medical debt below $500 will not show on a credit report
* Once debt gets sent to collections, you can usually negotiate for a lump sum payment 20-40% off
* If the debt was sent to collections recently, you can often still pay with the hospital directly
* Ask the hospital or collections agency to itemize the bill, which will often reduce the amount
* (Charisma roll required) You can "call bait" a debt collector into committing an FDCPA violation, which can reduce the amount of debt by up to $1000

==== See also ====
[https://www.reddit.com/r/UnethicalLifeProTips/comments/hr6ccy/ulpt_how_to_dispute_medical_debt_the_right/ How to dispute medical debt the right way]

=== Reimbursements ===
When reimbursing friends, include "reimbursement" in the memo field. This ensures the IRS is aware the and the money is less likely to be scrutinized as possible income. The IRS has required Venmo, Cash App, PayPal, and other p2p money transfer apps to report transactions to them if the total received exceeded $5000 for the 2024 tax year, and intends to lower it to $600.

== Revenue ==

=== Grants ===
Message [https://matrix.to/#/@moonfern:mesh.host moonfern] about Project Stratosphere (a rough prototype of a grant aggregator/search engine) to find publicly known grants that might be relevant to you. Project Stratosphere is still in development and may be unreliable.

=== Crowdfunding ===
[https://manifund.org/ Manifund] can be used as a 501(c)3 eligible fiscal sponsor for projects with charitable or altruistic aims.

=== P2P funding ===
Gifts within the [https://www.irs.gov/businesses/small-businesses-self-employed/frequently-asked-questions-on-gift-taxes annual or lifetime exclusion limit] are not taxable. If you would be put in a higher tax bracket than your recipient would be put in, less taxes would need be paid total if you gift the recipient the asset (such as stocks or crypto) and they sell it immediately, than if you sell it and gift them the returns. Make sure to compensate for the taxes they will need to pay when converting to stock, since they will inherit your [https://ttlc.intuit.com/turbotax-support/en-us/help-article/investment-income/determine-cost-basis-stock-received-gift/L4bZeNvpc_US_en_US cost basis].

== Expenses ==

=== Cryptocurrency ===

==== On and off ramps ====
Kraken is the best centralized exchange (CEX) for buying cryptocurrencies. You can get the best rates by using [https://pro.kraken.com Kraken Pro] (it's free, just a different user interface with lower fees) and checking "Post only."

Coinbase is the best way to liquidate USDC for USD– it does so at a 1:1 ratio with high limits.

==== Wallets ====
For Ethereum-only usage, Rabby is recommended. It supports hardware wallets, bridging between L2s, has an integrated browser for interacting with web3 applications ("dapps"), and you can pay gas using USDC.

=== Medical debt ===
* Medical debt below $500 will not show on a credit report
* Once debt gets sent to collections, you can usually negotiate for a lump sum payment 20-40% off
* If the debt was sent to collections recently, you can often still pay with the hospital directly
* Ask the hospital or collections agency to itemize the bill, which will often reduce the amount
* (Charisma roll required) You can "call bait" a debt collector into committing an FDCPA violation, which can reduce the amount of debt by up to $1000

An Ontology of Networking

Inbound networking is when people reach out to you

Outbound networking is when you reach out to other people

Good networking balances both methods, because they attract different people

Warm networking is when outreach occurs through friends who know you, or know them

Cold networking is when outreach occurs through public sources, such as email or twitter

Elysium

2025-08-29T01:20:51Z

Ampdot:

Elysium is a desktop computer used as a server, currently located in Seattle. In addition to general-purpose research and development use, it hosts several [https://ampdot.mesh.host/chapter2 Chapter II]-based ems which participate in [https://cyborgism.wiki/hypha/act_i Act I].

== Specifications ==

* 12900K - 16 cores, 24 threads @ 5.2GhZ
* 128GB high-bandwidth DDR5 RAM
* RTX 3090
* 8TB boot disk
* 4TB auxillary disk
* Up to 1Gb/s download speed
* Up to 50Mb/s upload speed

== Setup instructions ==

# Download and install [https://tailscale.com/ Tailscale]
#* Some VPNs are incompatible and you may need to disable them.
# Join using a Tailscale invite link
# [https://elysium.mesh.host/ Verify connectivity] by verify that that page loads
# While some services are available to all users, request appropriate permissions for user login

== Recommended tools ==
'''systemctl''' is recommended for service management, via these aliases:
alias sysu="systemctl --user"

alias logu="journalctl -e --user -u"
To make your systemctl units stay online even after you log out or after elysium reboots, write: (this is already enabled for many shared user accounts)
loginctl enable-linger
If you install [https://mosh.org/ mosh], an alternative to ssh, your command-line connections will stay open even after losing internet, closing your laptop, or boarding a flight. You can put this in your local ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc to improve keystroke prediction:
export MOSH_PREDICTION_DISPLAY=experimental
'''rsync''' is the recommended tool for uploading files. For example, to upload an em to the shared conjure account, you might run:
rsync -r ./path/to/local/files conjure@elysium.mesh.host:/home/conjure/ems

Arcweld

2025-08-29T01:19:30Z

Ampdot:

'''Arcweld''' is a server for the primary goal of rapidly and efficiently experimenting with open weights models, with secondary goals of 1) researching novel LLM inference technologies 2) reducing the cost of using hosted APIs when it would not interfere with the primary goal. It is not intended for training since it isn't the ideal way to purchase memory bandwidth per dollar (critical for training), although it isn't forbidden.

== Specifications ==

* Mac Studio M3 Ultra
** 819 GB/s memory bandwidth
** 60-core GPU
** 32-core Neural Engine
* 512GB Unified Memory

== Setup instructions ==

# Download and install [https://tailscale.com/ Tailscale]
#* Some VPNs are incompatible and you may need to disable them.
# Join using a Tailscale invite link
# If you've been granted login access, `ssh sparks@arcweld` to access the shared inference account. '''You may have to reboot for it to work.''' You can also try manually editing the machine IPv4 inside Tailscale portal to something random that doesn't conflict with your LAN.
