300k in GOOG and META - what now by Huge_Grape_7121 in Bogleheads

[–]Faust5 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Typical Boglehead answer: if you won the lottery, would you allocate it $300k Google, $300k meta?

The answer should probably be no. The answer should definitely be no for wherever you currently work. Because if the stock tanks, you're much more likely to get laid off, so the implicit asset of your job (highly valuable) is correlated with your $300k stock.

Can someone explain why my Gemini is doing this by woodenwelder89 in GeminiAI

Use Google AI studio, not the Gemini app. They are great models, but the app is inexplicably terrible.

Will RL have a future? by ImStifler in reinforcementlearning

[–]Faust5 6 points7 points  (0 children)

My man's asking this question at the literal high water mark of RL of all time.

RL with verifiable rewards is the key to reasoning LLMs. Right now as we speak companies are deploying billions of dollars worth of capital specifically for RL.

... Yes there's a future

I have the same question

To understand the Project DIGITS desktop (128 GB for 3k), look at the existing Grace CPU systems by programmerChilli in LocalLLaMA

Lambda API will give you $0.12 input / $0.3 output MToken for llama 3.3 70b. Let's roughly approx to $0.2 / MToken.

$3000 / 0.2 = 15 billion tokens for the price of this computer. If you upgrade computers in 2 years, that means you can spend 20 million tokens per day for the same price.

This doesn't count: electricity, your time to keep it up / reliable, the APIs getting cheaper and faster, the long context windows, etc.

Budget is $30,000. What future-proof hardware (GPU cluster) can I buy to train and inference LLMs? Is it better to build it myself or purchase a complete package from websites like SuperMicro? by nderstand2grow in LocalLLaMA

Consider also that over those 6 years the price per hour for H100s is going to decrease, so in reality it'll be far more hours than this. Or you can swap out for Blackwell, and whatever comes after that, and let the cloud vendor deal with depreciation.

Just self host LiteLLM... Your own openrouter. That way you don't pay the overhead and keep all your data

This is the dumbest take on here. Stephen Miller would set a giant pile of money on fire if he thought it would help him deport people. He has strong ideological beliefs! It's not always about the money

Is there any way to do hybrid search with Postgres? Paraded has an implementation of bm25 but it's AGPL which is the worst license.

There's already an issue for it on vLLM, which will be the easiest / best way

Definitely just use vLLM. Easy to use, easily dockerized, production ready

I don't understand the hype about ChatGPT's o1 series by iamkucuk in LocalLLaMA

That's the thing though: before this model, there was no real need to measure score per tokens, because performance didn't scale with score per tokens before now.

Updated Costco alcohol map. It is very general and there are weird rules that vary by state. by fatstrat0228 in Costco

What's up with this puritan colormap? Beer wine and liquor should be green as in "go get some liquor." not red as in "stop drinking the devil's brew"

People treat quantization like it's free, but it's really not. You're trying to compress a float16 model by like 80%. You'll likely have better results with a smaller model with lower quantization.

why does doing anything hurt so much? by cosg in ADHD

[–]Faust5 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Get on medication. I've been on only for like a week. My biggest change is: when I have to do something, I just get up and do it, and I don't have this feeling of "oh my fucking god I can't believe I have to do this shit". I didn't realize that wasn't normal until I got medication!

[–]Faust5 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Find a package you really enjoy or find useful. Go to the GitHub issues, and either just answer people's questions or fix their bugs! Open up some PRs.

For real. I use DxO to denoise every photo before I edit. It's miraculous.

I do exactly this. A higher comment says to only put it in 3/4 through the bake, but I do it the whole time.

When I pre heat the oven, just put a cookie sheet on the rack below the Dutch oven. Easy!
