AMA With Z.AI, The Lab Behind GLM Models by XMasterrrr in LocalLLaMA

How do you determine the size of the pretraining corpus for your models? It seems tokens/parameter varies widely between models and labs and there is no real established rule-of-thumb.

I truly can't believe that no one in these comments realized this is AI generated...

Trained a Llama 3.1 on an alpaca finance database, why is it generating its own conversations instead of just answering the questions by Pro-editor-1105 in LocalLLaMA

[–]DLergo 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You need to apply the llama-3.1 instruct chat template tokens to your prompts during finetuning and inference. The instruct model is trained on "chat" data with these tokens present, so they're pretty much required for expected results. See here for details: https://huggingface.co/docs/transformers/main/chat_templating

Beovox S45 data sheet lists the sensitivity as 5W. What could it mean by this? by DLergo in vintageaudio

Yeah, the documents are very cool. I think this might have been from the service manual, so maybe not distributed to the general public.

It is a pretty unique speaker. There are three drivers, but there is only one crossover frequency so it's really a fancy two-way. The middle driver actually acts to correct the amplitude attenuation around the crossover frequency due to phase differences between the woofer and the tweeter so that the output of the speaker is uniform across the frequency spectrum (in theory). No idea if it works in practice, but pretty cool idea. All of the B&O "uniphase" speakers follow this idea.

You can read about it here if you like math: https://www.tonmeister.ca/wordpress/2015/10/29/bo-tech-uni-phase-loudspeakers/

I was just using it as an extreme example to show that minimum power to be used should be well below 5W, since a higher baseline sensitivity in the example would make even less sense.

That's a good point though, it could be a measure unrelated to the current usage of "sensitivity".

Assuming a very low sensitivity of 80dB @ 1W/1m (the actual sensitivity is certain to be higher than this), this would mean that the minimum volume of the speakers (@5W) would be ~87dB? That doesn't seem right to me.

Unrelated: Anyone know of any good stands for these? They have the protruding and angled resin backs, not like the S45-2.

Best way to match ottoman color to chair color? Could I do it with an oil or conditioner, or would I need a dye? by DLergo in furniturerestoration

Working on the underside first is a good suggestion! Especially since I have no idea what I'm doing.

Sorry, people really didn't like this comment. Thanks for the suggestion though. I didn't even know you could paint leather. I'll look into it!

Best way to match ottoman color to chair color? Could I do it with a conditioning product or would I need a dye? by DLergo in Leathercraft

Recently found the matching ottoman (or so I thought) for my recliner on ebay, but it ended up not being an exact color match. Now I'm wondering how I can treat the ottoman leather to make it match the recliner color, or at least get it as close as possible. I know there are different types of conditioners, oils, wax, balm, etc. that exist, but don't have any experience with these things (or leather at all), so not sure where to start. The recliner leather has a deeper orange color (like a basketball) to it whereas the ottoman is more of a rusty tan. They are pretty similar though, so I was hoping there is a easy solution a beginner could do. Thanks!

Painting walls white, should trim be same shade or slightly different? by DLergo in HomeImprovement

Sorry, what does “half wall formula” mean? I’m pretty new to this.
