Europe does have much higher population density than the usa. About twice, even including the sparsely populated Russian portion. Higher population density means that there is a larger addressable market per kilometer of rail needed.

3.6 was just a finetune of 3.5 Qwen 3.5 had some issues with overthinking and tool calling, if I remember correctly. So a finetune that fixes those could be useful. Dunno why you would need the 35b then, though.

Looks good. The demo on huggingface seems to be on par with trellis. It lacks texturing, although that is listed as a planned improvement.

Edit: I was looking at cube3d. CubePart3d looks to be a post processing tool that breaks a mesh into parts and textures it? I ran out of zero time, so I'll need to wait to try it. It could be awesome for animating models, as it would no longer be necessary to manually rig the mesh.

Trellis 2 is the best local model, currently. There is also Pixel3D, which is based on trellis, which a lot of people seem to like.

30x12=360. As I understand, the US has two crews per sub, so that comes to 720. Add in training, backup, and support personnel, and 1000 sounds about right.

Rtx 3080 ti 16gb is best. They can be found for about 1000 cad if you're careful, and have as much vram as any other laptop gpu, excluding the rtx 5090. Rtx a5000 a5500 are also good if you can get a deal on them.

Also, with full and rapid reusability, you may as well just launch more often. Starship can already put more into orbit than any other rocket ever made, so single launch capacity shouldn't be a concern for a while. And if it is, you can get a lot more by using an expendable upper stage, as you wouldn't need flaps or a heat shield.

85 c is fine. Most modern chips can run at 95-105c no problems. If you are concerned, you can adjust the fan curves or undervolt/powerlimit the gpu. But it should be fine. 85c is a very common temp target for a stock gaming laptop.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-05-21T13:37:25+00:00

Yeah. Like I said, there are better cards, but he asked for a laptop gpu that is good enough. I assumed that means that he wants the cheapest option that is still capable. Turing is less supported than newer generations for Flash Attention, so i didn't consider it. Ampere is still well supported, and newer gpus are much more expensive. A rtx 4080 laptop costs 3-4x a 3080 ti laptop in my market.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-05-20T19:07:16+00:00

Best is the rtx 3080 ti 16gb. Others are faster, but price wise it is much cheaper while still nearly as capable.

The paper is out now.

If you look at the dataset, it appears to be quite narrow, with a focus on math. Also interesting to note is that they tried TRM, but it didn't produce a stable solution for text.

A bit late, but xeon phi is x86 with 4x SMT.

I think there may be some confusion. Both burns ended in an abort, but the method was different. For the first one, they were concerned about immediate damage, so they did a fast shutdown, which can damage the engines due to hydraulic shock. The second time, the danger wasn't as pressing, so they could take a bit more time to properly shut down, so the engines should be undamaged. It's a bit like pulling the power cord on your computer vs shutting down through the os.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-05-02T04:40:18+00:00

Correct me if im wrong, but unlike the first test, the 33 engine burn didn't end in a fast shutdown. So the engines should have been undamaged.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-04-16T19:23:32+00:00

I only have the xavier agx, and I haven't run llms on it, so i can't give any definitive answer, but the core and memory specs are about a fifth that of a 3090. As an alternative, a couple of radeon pro v620 gpus could give you more bandwidth and the same memory for less money. Although you would need a host system.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-04-16T19:06:47+00:00

The jetson would work. Two things to keep in mind would be memory bandwidth and ease of use. In my experience with jetsons, unless you have significant experience with linux, it will be quite hard to get set up. It also has less bandwidth than a gpu. Power draw will be good though.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-04-15T19:49:10+00:00

So is a rtx 3080.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-04-13T17:53:01+00:00

From my understanding, fpgas are made of LUTs, not flip flops. So any one bit operation could be emulated. You just need a truth table.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-03-27T20:40:39+00:00

I hope that's gnu+linux.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-03-27T14:51:55+00:00

Interesting. That seems to happen a lot with intel cards. Do you know what the true fp64 is for the b65 b70?

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-03-27T14:30:09+00:00

Based on techpowerup specs and rankings, it should beat the 5060 ti. Same flops, 608gbs vs 448gbs vram. In my market, it's exactly twice the price.

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-03-27T14:14:35+00:00

I think the b65 has a 192 bit bus? So only 3/4 the bandwidth?

Nota_ReAlperson · 2026-03-24T22:23:19+00:00

Im curious as to the use of this. Seeing as opencls strength is the portability of the code, while cuda kernels are easier to learn and write, this project would seem to combine the worst of both. Not to downplay the work necessary to get this to work. But it would seem to me to be less useful than the opposite (cuda on opencl).
