ROCm? Is that even supported now? Last time I checked it was still a dumpster fire. What are the RAM and VRAM reqs for the Mixtral8x7b?

akrot ,

I have a ryzen apu, so I was curious. I tried yesterday to fiddle with it, and managed to up the "vram" to 16gb.
But installing xformers and flash-attention for LLM support on igpus is not officially supported and was not possible to install anything past pytorch.
It's step further for sure, but still needs lots of work.

I stumbled upon a website through DDG, and after a long intro, the main section supposedly where the thing I was searching for had "Sorry I can't fulfill your request right now". Basically a fully generated page to match my search with some parasitic seo tactics. The web be chaging. Front page of DDG.

I don't understand why linux doesn't get all the love patches like Windows.

akrot ,

Linux, thanks to steam, is better at gaming than windows, esecially for older games. Proton ftw

But basing a recommendation on a ballpark anectdotal evidence is eidiculous.

Chip smuggling operation that sent 53,000 banned American chips to China gets busted — $12 million worth of chips funneled through South Korean company (www.tomshardware.com)

Chip smuggling operation that sent 53,000 banned American chips to China gets busted — $12 million worth of chips funneled through South Korean company::A smuggling operation carried out by the unnamed South Korean 'Company A' involved 53,000 chips worth nearly $12 million.

Doing the maths, that's ~200$/chip. Even Nvidia 4060 is more expensive.

akrot ,

Actually there is a russian guy who made that happen. Youtube it.

akrot ,

Holy shit, that's the rookiest mistake.

akrot ,

But it's not deterministic.

akrot ,

I swear, youtube sponsorships are like anti-ads. 9 times out of 10 they're doing something sketchy.

We're the minority though.

Link for the lurkers https://github.com/evilsocket/pwnagotchi

Pwnagotchi is an A2C-based "AI" leveraging bettercap that learns from its surrounding WiFi environment to maximize the crackable WPA key material it captures (either passively, or by performing authentication and association attacks). This material is collected as PCAP files containing any form of handshake supported by hashcat, including PMKIDs, full and half WPA handshakes.

The mian issue with Mini/used PCs is the power efficiency. It's just a waste of wattage and performanve/Watt is very bad, especially at idle.

akrot ,

But idle still would run much more than 15w. There a very good compilation google sheets for the most efficient X86 cpus, but once you start factoring hdds and ssds, it's only natural to go higher (20w-30w) at least. That's at least double than rpis

I think the case is still developping, but I hate these laws that forbid employees from working at other companies. I thate to take Apple's side, but I don't think hiring the engineers was wrong.

Like you accummulate knowledge at your current company, and you're not supposed to use it ever in any job? Bullshit. Masimo could have offered their knowlesge employees better salaries stock options so they stay, at the end of this case if Masimo wins, it's the employees that will lose.

Anyone working in a specialized field will find it hard to be hired as new companies will be afraid of the same thing here.

akrot ,

I am saying that from an employee perspective, what is my reason to support Masimo? Unless I am a suck up for corporations, why would I even support Masimo. The way I see it, the more restriction a company has on its employees (ie you are forbidden from working at a competitor with your expertise) the less power the employees have.

How is this even an argument for capitalism? Just shouting capitalism does not earn you free points. Think it through, step by step, human-gpt.

akrot ,

Temporary solution, but works for now.

akrot ,

Is dalle3 and midjourney using other methods?

akrot ,

What up with everyone using the acronym LoRa. It is becoming confusing.
