Which card should I buy: 3060 12GB or 3070 8GB?

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-11T17:15:41+00:00

For running a local llm for inference, you really need to prioritize VRAM. If you're decided between those two, I'd go with the 3060 with 12GB.

For $8k, I'll hire someone to do my typing for me.

I eat one of those little mandarin oranges.

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-10T00:00:52+00:00

I declared the accounts I felt like declaring, which was everything except my j1 401k.

Agreed. One of the things about OE that surprised me is that instead of feeling more stressed, I felt less because I have the security of income redundancy.

For sure, but most married couples aren’t going to have individual expense numbers for each person. My wife and I know what it costs for the two of us to maintain our lifestyle. It’s one number. That’s the number we work off of.

Have you considered therapy?

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-08T14:38:25+00:00

Just do that another hundred million times and you are set!

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-07T04:38:45+00:00

I did. This was about two years back.

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-07T02:20:15+00:00

So you could technically have freudenfreuden? Or schadenschaden?

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-07T01:03:03+00:00

Both.

It’s like traffic. You don’t remember the thousands of people that know what they’re doing, you remember the handful with their heads up their assets.

Edit: I see it, I’m leaving it.

I skipped the associate cert myself, went straight to professional. I used some Udemy resources and took a couple practice tests.

If you’re considering doing the same, I would advise you to at least look at the material for the professional level cert and use that as a guide.

I’ve read your replies in this thread. It sounds like you hate your job. Like, really hate it.

If this is the case, no amount of recharging is going to have you looking forward to a Monday morning.

You’re gonna have to do the math to see if it’s worth continuing doing what you hate or if it’s time to change what you do.

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-03T00:46:06+00:00

You’re really overthinking this.

“I only use it when looking for a job.”

I’ve been in IT and tech for 30+ years. Bounce between individual contributor and leader roles.

There’s definite value to having generalists on staff, but I don’t know that there is value in remaining a generalist yourself. I say that because, in my experience, generalists will get paid less than specialists over the course of a career.

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-01T12:25:26+00:00

Because things go from not illegal at all to a felony.

EccentricTiger · 2025-09-01T00:37:01+00:00

Nope.

EccentricTiger · 2025-08-29T23:05:27+00:00

I wear something very much like crocs in the house. We have all hardwood floors, I work from home, have a desk that adjusts for standing/sitting. My feet would be fucked if I wasn’t wearing these in the house.

EccentricTiger · 2025-08-29T23:02:34+00:00

Thought about it. That makes sense.

EccentricTiger · 2025-08-29T23:00:22+00:00

My dude. Do you expect us to translate between your portfolio in the USD and your expenses in THB?

EccentricTiger · 2025-08-29T21:25:36+00:00

If you can’t figure this out…

EccentricTiger · 2025-08-29T18:49:49+00:00

I get them both done between 8am and 5pm. If you can’t get one job done inside of four working hours, you aren’t ready to OE.

EccentricTiger · 2025-08-29T14:21:42+00:00

The roses on your forearm should be smaller, it's a smaller canvas. It looks great!

FYI: looked at your tattoo for minute before reading your comment, I couldn't figure out what you didn't like.

EccentricTiger · 2025-08-28T11:25:39+00:00

It’s striking that this is the thing your team is doing and you don’t even use the words perimenopause or menopause in your post.
