I’m a home-lab newbie and trying to learn Linux basics through self hosting. LLMs have a lot to teach me and I’m already starting to see it’s sloppy errors. One big challenge is that software gets updated and commands change, so not training on new data is going to be back to square 1 for a lot of these use cases.
Reminds me of the old adage: How do you figure out if someone is an Arch user… 😁
TIL - according to one source 80% of the geothermal energy comes from radiation and the remaining 20% is from the sun.
I’m fairly certain these numbers are made up. Additionally, I’m betting those numbers include investment dollars, as opposed to paid revenue.
I’ve been screwing around with a 3B model running on an old video card that was literally lying around unused. Clearly there are a metric ton of dollars being thrown at AI but after the bubble pops there will be a lot of people still digging hard on this.
“Just” and a 27B model don’t exactly belong in the same sentence if you ask my wallet. 💸
I’ve been wanting to do this, even as a testbed. I just want computers to do cool shit, and am getting tired of being a Linux sysadmin in my free time. How large of a model do you have assigned to this?
Only if the line keeps going up. Ai companies have been “selling” chunks of themselves to NVIDIA for “cash” then these companies turn around and buy hardware from NVIDIA. When the crash eventually comes, NVIDIA will have some percentage of zero (or close enough to count) value company. Basically acting like a bank, just cutting the banks out of the process. NVIDIA shows revenue and the AI company churns their super-inflated value to be even more inflation.
My hardware is about 43 versions behind, so… we good. Kinda. Waiting for that bubble to pop.
I’ve stopped asking people this. They ALWAYS pick cheap and good because fast is an unknown variable to them.
You’re missing the pile of crusty socks.
Chat: I added some CTB jells but I think there are some stray violet frequencies getting through.
Whom do you consider to be more evil? Trump or JinPing? National states don’t exist anymore. There are two kings, they only lack the title.
Pihole. Doesn’t solve everything, but I’m currently blocking ads from just over a half million domains.
They didn’t have the framework knowledge before to automate the thing. It’s exactly where I was before AI. I knew that I could work more efficiently, but spending months learning Python was a lot slower than the 45 minutes, every other week I save by having a script do something for me. I don’t save enough budget to actually afford the time and effort to find a programmer, tell them what I need and then pay them to write it for me. Took 20 minutes worth of tweaking with the free tier of Claude and it was done to a “good enough” standard to save the time.
Because money. It cost tax dollars to roll a truck to these sites every time a switch needs to be thrown. I heard that an air raid siren went off not too long ago because some kids figured out that they were controlled by DMTF tones on an unencrypted radio frequency.
The little advertisers aren’t the scary ones. It’s Meta, Alphabet and Amazon that are scary and absolutely do fingerprint in this way. That said, the scale of these systems really does roll right past the individual user, unless someone really cares about YOU, but unless you’re doing something wrong, they don’t really give a shit. CSAM, illicit substances, amd more could probably be pretty easily rooted out by these systems, but that wouldn’t make-line-go-up so it doesn’t happen.
We ALL hope so.
I have an old i7-4790 with 32 GB running as a proxmox node. It runs Proxmox Backup Server and my torrent client. It works fine for that purpose.
