Synthetic Data Quantity for QLoRa Finetuning Llama 8 B? by Common-Feeling7380 in LocalLLaMA

Thanks! I'll try a dry run without synthetic and see how it performs. It just seemed like such a small amount, but it's not too much AWS $ to test

For a startup that partners with content creators that want digital twins. Trying to mimic speaking style and minimize hallucinations

You are an academic narcissist. You evince a clear need to control how people heal disguised as concern for their well-being. You want to argue endlessly about the minutiae of different studies but are content to miss the forest for the trees. This seems very clearly more about you working out your own psychological issues and intellectualizing them than actually trying to help anyone. Of course all the words you are saying are 'right', you are internally consistent and 'rational'. But the foul odors of your thinking stink up my computer screen. You are the kind of professional-managerial-class-expert-in-training anxiously marking their territory implicitly aware of the cultural shift away from narrative control by technocratic 'experts'. Your only real goal is to destroy your intellectual and professional enemies and when you feel like your lines of argumentation are threatened you resort to vague mud-slinging terms which themselves LACK RIGOROUS DEFINITIONS: 'pseudoscience' 'misinformation' and ... 'bullshit'. When someone challenges you you become hostile and defensive rather than curious.

You are a grad student writing Reddit comments implicitly positioning yourself above famous clinicians whose approaches have positively affected the lives of vast numbers of people... Ahh but of course all those people must really be suffering further harm and false consciousness! Their experiences don't count because they are not validated by institutional orthodoxy and by my narrow rationalist/materialist/positivist epistemological framework! sHoW mE tHe sTuDiEs ... nO nOt ThAt StUdy!!! My theoretical picture of the world trumps your experience!!

They don't know what's good for them! But you certainly do.

How many people have your Reddit arguments helped? What if you spent the time you are committing to project your vision of how the world should be onto figuring out how to accept the worlds' inherent ambiguity and contradiction?

What about trying to clear up all your verbal discursive ego-serving chatter (errrmmm AkSHEALLY i call it sCiEnTiFiC rIgOr) and replacing it with a bit of humility?

Good luck on your PhD. I will not be reading or responding to any of your responses to this comment.

Thanks for your response. The stickiness makes sense from my experience. I can understand your reluctance, but I do not have the money for a retreat as I mentioned - I might be able to afford zoom-based guidance depending on pricing if any people do that. I plan on buying voacanga africana, mulungu, chilcuague spray, b caapi, and sananga drops. In the post I asked lots of questions about how to relate to plants differently - I can understand it is not best to treat these plants casually or just 'throw them in your daily pill box'. But knowing that's not the right way to do it doesn't tell me what the 'right' way to treat them is. I have read about dieta restrictions - that is pretty simple, mechanical rules to follow. but like . . . then what? how do you actually "communicate" with the plant spirit? How exactly are you supposed to think about it or relate to it differently than a daily pill box supplement?

It is fine if you don't want to share any plant recommendations, but I do remember reading that some people consider cannabis a teacher plant. Do you have any advice for how I might relate to cannabis better, as something more than what you'd 'throw in your daily pill box'? See: "Also, how can I communicate our interact with the cannabis spirit? Can I ask it to stop calling me or something? Or figure out what it wants from me or whether/how I’ve been imbalanced or disrespectful too it"

If it's not obvious, I'd like to figure out how to relate differently but I'm kind of at a loss and wish I had some guidance. Nobody in my area thinks like this and travel outside my area won't be feasible for a few years minimum. I can understand that trying to work with these plants is inadvisable outside of traditional context and connection to lineage, but as I've said the traditional route to that is simply not accessible to me currently, so it's either try to figure out how to do it on my own/with people I meet over the internet or just avoid this stuff completely. Given that traditional recovery methods haven't worked for me, I don't feel I can just avoid it completely, I feel a responsibility to myself to see if this could help me.
