Buying new: Basically all of the integrated memory units like macs and amd's new AI chips, after that any modern (last 5 years) gpu while focusing only on vram (currently nvidia is more properly supported in SOME tools)

Buying second hand: not likely to find any of the integrated memory stuff, so any GPU from the last decade that is still officially supported and focusing on vram.

8gb is enough to run basic small models, 20+ for pretty capable 20-30b models, 50+ for the 70b ones and 100-200+ for full sized models.

These are rough estimates, do your own research as well.

For the most part with LLMs for a single user you really only care about VRAM and storage speed(ssd) Any GPU will perform faster than you can read for anything that fully fits on it's VRAM, so the GPU only matters if you intend on running large models at extreme speeds (for automation tasks, etc) And the storage is a bottleneck at model load, so depending on your needs it might not be that big of an issue for you, but for example with a 30gb model you can expect to wait 2-10 minutes for it to load into the vram from an HDD, about 1 minute with a sata SSD, and about 4-30 seconds with an NVMe.

Considering how some of the right wing media completely ignores fact checking, it would be hilarious to just fill the internet with crazy shit like this and see if they run with some of it

Jeez, I wonder if it has anything to do with the president being a pedo and also giving out pardons to anyone who supports him like it's the candy from a white van.

Who is designing drugs for cancer? What about drugs for the patients?

You can sniff the network and see if the TV is connecting anywhere.

It's very very unlikely that your TV and your device connected to it both support and enable ethernet over HDMI by default. But if you are unsure you can test it by connecting and seeing if the TV is getting a connection.

Personally I also opened my TV and disconnected the wifi card since in theory the TV could also just try to connect to any open wifi in the area without me knowing, but to each their own threat model.

There are a few places in the world where it is cheap and good, just not a lot of them.

It's not a bad idea, but there are plenty of countries where it would be abused to xbox live chat levels.

Science and Logic day! 23rd of January. Or 12th of March

Celebrations include home science projects, appreciation of scientists and professors, local interactive educational scientific events, etc

The affects would be appreciation of truth and logic which would fight the misinformation issues that we currently have, and it will also serve to educate people and inspire them to seek further education and understanding.

To reduce gas with beans:

  • soak with baking soda (1tsp per cup of beans)
  • before cooking boil some water and in a bowl cover the beans with the boiled water, after 5 minutes drain and wash them and throw them in to whatever you are cooking
  • ferment the beans, best results but more work

Also remember that as your body gets used to it, the gas is reduced.

 

Do you consider ghosting people a reasonable way to deal with today's overwhelming and constant information and notification overload? Or do you find it offensive and unfriendly?

Would you equate it to a person ignoring you irl or is ignoring a text different?

For this post let's assume the people involved are or were in the past friends, and ghosting is leaving someone on "read" for more than 2 days.

 

I want to see how far it can go. Also, we are doing a good thing by QAing lemmy and lemmy clients.

Can we reach triple digits deep?

 

If you had the money to retire at 30, your savings would be invested and on an average year your earnings would cover your expenses. You would have health insurance, so no worries there. The only catch is that you would have to keep your expenses at 65% of what you spend right now. Would you take it, or would you rather work a few more years for a better lifestyle and financial security?

 

I am tired of paying for roaming, of being location tracked by my provider and running out of SIM slots.

So I have decided to connect some SIM capabilities to my server and set it up as a sort of proxy that I could access over the internet to send regular SMS and make regular calls through the server.

As far as I can tell it seems to be really complicated to do in linux and I just couldn't find anyway that would actually support sound over calls.

The only solutions I found right now are to get an old phone (not ideal because of the price, battery and reliability) or use something like

https://www.makerfabs.com/maduino-zero-4g-lte-sim7600.html

Which can be connected to the server on the aux and serial ports. This is not too pricey but still seems like a bit much for my needs.

My question is, are there better ways? Really all I need is SMS and calls.

Considering that pH plays a major role in teeth health and acid-reflux, two things that a significant portion of the population suffers from and can dramatically reduce quality of life, shouldn't the pH of a food item be just as important as nutritional values?

 

Thought about it recently as I realized that I really like the song.

 

I understand that it is a switch to connect the battery to the sarter. But why not just make the ignition switch the actual switch?

Is it because the amps are high so the switch would be too big to comfortably use? Because if that is the case, wouldn't a simple mechanical solution be better?

 

Title is a bit much so let me explain.

The world has all kinds of terrible things that the individual can do basically nothing about. Luckily, for most of us it has no direct impact and we are able to ignore the painful reality. But what if you were in a situation where it did impact you? In a way that is part of your everyday. What if for years you are struggling with the internal conflict of "there is nothing I can do about it" and "I can't continue like this"?

As for the drugs, I specifically mean weed and specifically for the days where I find it too hard to ignore. I find myself thinking that if I get high I will have an easier time ignoring the pain and doing something good like cleaning or working.

Notes:

  • Don't bother with telling me that even the individual has the power to make great changes, I believe it and I'm doing my best, but I am also aware of the fact that this situation will not be changed in my lifetime probably.
  • I'm not suicidal, I don't harm myself and while I can tell that lately I have been using weed too much, I don't think I am abusing it. I'm logging my usage and I review it weekly, If it get's out of hand I will know (I think)
  • I'm mostly asking about using external stimulation as a form of escapism
  • Yes, I need therapy, sadly it is expensive. Yes I am looking for options.

EDIT: Thanks to all of the replies, I have read them all but I don't want to respond to all of them. I think this post helped, so thank you!

 

More photos in the comments. Is it supposed to be connected to the motherboard? I found it in the case. It wasn't connected. I think that the backside is some sort of thermal patch. I can tell that it's not a camera but I'm very confused and the connection reminds me of more of a laptop or phone connection not something you would see in a PC. The data matrix contains the same text as the white sticker.

 

All things considered, it has only been about 3 months since Trump took office, I feel like there is absolutely no way that this was just a single craze and from here things will even out.

I feel like until 2028 (or maybe 2026?) S&P 500 is going to look like a roller coaster.

What do you think?
