Whoa there agent Smith

I’m italian so I guess it depends on when on the timeline they plucked him

well if you w98bsod you don’t need to reboot

Me: I never update. My immutable distro downloads new images in the background and they get mounted next boot.

Yeah I was lucky to buy a 6900XT when it was near the lowest price, so I sold that and added a couple hundred for the 7900, seemed like a good future-proofing move, given the times we’re living in.

I think Apple silicon is faster than my generation of Ryzen, but the newest (Strix something?) with the LPDDRGGFASEWARGH5 memory should be faster yet. Of course buying all that memory right now would be quite painful.

So I have a framework laptop with ryzen ai cpu that uses 48gb of shared ram, and it does run Q4 llms fine enough, but I’m not sure it compares to a real GPU.

On my desktop I have an RX 7900 XTX but I’ve only dabbled in image generation so far, so right now I couldn’t really tell you the difference.

Well it works anyway even with a bit of occupied vram, but you could also buy a cheap videocard to use as an output. I have small intel card like that in my server for jellyfin transcoding, I think I paid 60€ for it, it hardly uses any power

If your MB has onboard graphics, maybe you could mask the GPU and just pass it off to a container running the LLMs I guess

Yeah, I’m glad I took the time to set up a separate VLAN for this. It wasn’t easy on my MikroTik router (nothing ever is with those), but it’s worth the effort.

it has to share VRAM with the DE. Maybe I’ll set it up for remote development from my laptop instead to free up VRAM.

eh, just systemctl isolate multi-user.target

267€? What are those, 4GB sticks?

Might be nice if you’re used to it

Kind of like me, but I also have a friend who matches my description above

Maybe he was neurodivergent enough to become great at each and then lose interest, never engaging in them again despite investing thousands of hours?

Weird. It’s just a plant, takes plenty of sun and water and that’s it. I’ve got two in pots, one even survived the winter, which they usually don’t, although I had to fight Noctua caterpillars. (very silent caterpillars? no, not that Noctua)

A85?! That’s gotta be minuscule!

It’s such a cheap ingredient, it makes no sense to omit it

Depending on what you are unblocking, grease or simple oil can be a longer term solution

So unfortunately WD-40 as a product has become actually several different products with different properties, so it’s possible that yours is actually a lubricant. But if you have to reapply it often then no, it’s normal WD-40. What it does is it unblocks and cleans the gaps between moving parts, and it does have a slight lubricant effect but that doesn’t last long, so after a while you have moving parts, where WD-40 has removed any remnant of lubricant, rubbing against each other directly.

A4 folded is A5
