I’m not sure either, Win 10/11 are pretty quick to get going and Ubuntu is not much longer than that. If I have to hard reset the mbp for work, it’s a nice block of slacker time :)

For the really old stuff, I used to do NetBSD. I’m sure their 32bit x86 support is still top notch.

These are amazing. Dell, Lenovo and I think HP made these tiny things and they were so much easier to get than Pi’s during the shortage. Plus they’re incredibly fast in comparison.

I’ve got a background in deep learning and I still struggle to understand the attention mechanism. I know it’s a key/value store but I’m not sure what it’s doing to the tensor when it passes through different layers.

Subscribed. That last episode of AAA was heartbreaking.

Bad article title. This is the “Textbooks are all you need” paper from a few days ago. It’s programming focused and I think Python only. For general purpose LLM use, LLaMA is still better.

Yep, I’m using an RTX2070 for that right now. The LLMs are just executing on CPU.

Do you recommend this email provider? Lots of people looking to get off gmail lately.

Are you running your own mail server? I only ever integrated Spamassassin with postfix.

Stable Diffusion (Stability AI version), text-generation-webui (WizardLM), a text embedder service with Spacy, Bert and a bunch of sentence-transformer models, PiHole, Octoprint, Elasticsearch/Kibana for my IoT stuff, Jellyfin, Sonarr, FTB Minecraft (customized pack), a few personal apps I wrote myself (todo lists), SMB file shares, qBittorrent and Transmission (one dedicated to Sonarr)… Probably a ton of other stuff I’m forgetting.

You can run your own models at home if you don’t mind some tech struggle: https://github.com/ggerganov/llama.cpp lets you run the LLaMA/Alpaca/Vicuna/Wizard family of LLMs.

I hate these filthy neutrals…

I paid $1100 for a 3070 during the pandemic with a newegg bundle deal (trash stuff they couldn’t sell). I already had a 2070 and it was a complete waste of money.
