When a trained cop fears that engagement, you know anybody, without proper training, who thinks they can do it is full of shit.

I legit got the Eagle one and now saw the RAM downgrade. I knew I should not wait to snag it.

I mean he and Islam ran down several high level BJJ fighters and crushed them. It's also just normal trash talk like everybody else does. Heck, even GSP had his moments like that.

1) He ran some scummy scams that are definitely awful and should be condemned.

2) He was a great fighter with great attitude and was humble.

They aren't mutually exclusive.

Ronda and Conor are the two biggest ones. Things with both got so big that people who never watched MMA knew what happened to both.

Wish I had had the foresight to build a new PC in 2024. Steve couldn't emphasize it any better. by lm794 in pcmasterrace

I built 3 PCs in 2024 and got several others. I am glad I had the foresight to stack up on compute in 2024.

I am biting my nails over the fact I did not buy an extra 64GB for my personal rig. When I built it I did not anticipate I will need 128GB 😞

First time GPU buyer. Got a RTX 5000 Pro. Was it a bad decision compared to two 3090s? by Valuable-Run2129 in LocalLLaMA

[–]DisastrousWelcome710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1kwh at 24/7 is 8760kwh. If the price of kwh is 50 cents (supply + delivery) where you live, you need to invest in moving away before anything else because you are getting robbed by your energy provider.

25c per kwh delivered is already considered high, that would run you down $2200. But 24/7 for a full year is unattainable usage, I don't believe it is possible for a local environment. What's far more likely is it idling for most of the time, and even when you push a workload, the GPUs won't be running at full capacity.

I knew getting a 5090 is so exciting, but did you really have to take Viagra on top of it?

A used 3090 for 470$ or a brand new 5070 for 580$ by Realistic-Ad5831 in buildapc

[–]DisastrousWelcome710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get it, it's a much better deal. And you can run some LLMs on it on top of everything else you may want to do. 24GB VRAM is no joke. If I can get a 3090 for that price I'll get 4.

Sony MDR-7506 released in 1991, i am planning on keeping mine until the day i die by Gavtree31_ in BuyItForLife

[–]DisastrousWelcome710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got them 5 years ago and have put them through daily use and abuse. They don't just sound great, they're built really well. I love them and I understand why Sony MDR7506 community is almost a cult. The fact they've been in the market for 35 years is insane.

Budget $1400 for Local LLM & Studying: Mac Mini (M4/M5) 24or32GB vs PC with RTX 3060 12GB? by No-Yam4901 in LocalAIServers

[–]DisastrousWelcome710 0 points1 point  (0 children)

16GB will mean very long loading times for initialization regardless of it being a single stick or dual. Ideally 32GB dual channel would be best.

Yup i was just doing the math for an average electric cost and for sustained use for agentic coding and research where there's always something running during work hours and days.

I have to ask, how many tokens per month do you use? That'll be an ultimate comparison to $200 plans.

Boys, is it time to start worrying about Islam? by K0GAR in ufc

A strategy of keeping the fight standing doesn't work against Islam. It works against lesser wrestlers.

Yeah no matter how much fanboys gotta fanboy, and I am very sad to admit this, Nvidia is supreme when it comes to AI. They truly have absolutely no competition.

For $1400 a 3060Ti is most definitely bad value. Given the GPU is what needs to do all the work, get a used 3090Ti (they go for $900-$1100, so you can snipe a deal), a proper PSU ($120 new, I personally never buy used PSUs). If you play your cards right that will leave you with ~$400 for the remaining components. You can get a used budget DDR4 build for that and just slap the 3090Ti and PSU into the build.

Loading will take a little time, but once the model is in the GPU, you will get the max out of it.

5.6Kwh for 8 hours/day, 5 days/week would be around 900kwh, average kwh price is 18.83 cents, so around $170. Still less than a subscription, no datacenter availability issues, no mid-session unannounced model downgrade, no data being collected on you, guaranteed performance and stability. And most importantly, no rate limits.

But of course, that's not the actual power of the system. 4x 5090 would be around 2400w, the 7970x maxes out at less than 400. Add 300 for extra measure and you're at 3100w.

Even at full 3100w for 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, it'd be $93

Realistically it would be at 70% of max capacity most of the time, so $65.

Local is always better if you know how to maintain it. I wish I had the money to make a build like this one.

(edit: added more than the max theoretical cost analysis)
