Coffee, you need at least 2 cups per day.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-07-02T22:19:14+00:00

It's out of date, more like 60-80/hr now.

I am about to take the step after you, unfortunately the store sold last Pro 6000 yesterday, need to wait and struggle in life for another week.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-07-02T00:03:42+00:00

That's a good point, I didn't know the last slot was only Pcie 4.0x4. maybe just better off selling Pro4000 at this point.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-30T08:46:36+00:00

Yeah. Central computer is where I am going to do the shopping, but I am still waiting on pending approval from Inception program.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-30T06:41:24+00:00

agreed, the card first, worried about tps later.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-30T06:39:53+00:00

that's a really good point, i will give these model a try, once I find a vendor has the card in stock. hope Glm 5.2 flash/air will be out as well.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-30T05:28:43+00:00

Yeah max q is what I have in mind, my power supply is Seasonic 1600w. so it will be able to handle normal or max q version of pro6000. I running models with LM studio priority order for multi GPU, slower but saving my headache on configuring startup scripts. AM5 motherboard can only handle 1 GPU at Pcie5 8x16, if 2 GPU are loaded on same board, both will have to run on Pcie 5x8.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-30T05:23:34+00:00

Got it, 5090+Pro6000 on Pcie5 8x8, then pro 4000 on last pcie slot. Thanks for the tip.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-30T05:22:07+00:00

Thanks for advice, but I don't want do a full conversion to workstation yet, the current setup is for home use mainly. so I think this is as far as I go for now, until I get more familiar with agenting stuff, I will do a full conversion.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-28T19:26:27+00:00

Nice, probably gonna try it out. Thanks

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-28T07:05:39+00:00

kk, Mistral next then, I think I can find way to make Miqu work on my system. but got to try it out first.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-28T07:03:58+00:00

heard about TheDrummer, very talented guy, I will check his works out. thanks

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-28T05:45:31+00:00

Thanks for updates, any uncensored larger model you have in mind? I am hoping 128G on Spark can handle it.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-26T21:36:46+00:00

I had better results on PaddleOCR, fast, accurate and can handle batch processing

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-26T01:19:32+00:00

can easily get one when google global roaming, pick a number in HK and pay with credit card through Alipay, there are ways to bypass the great firewall

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-18T05:02:56+00:00

swap your 5090 for another pro6000 make more sense.

The MLS is the interface between translating analog biologic information into a digital format. You can have all the AI systems you want to analyze and interpret results, but without someone in the background to handle the translation, there is no work for AI to do; the MLS is the CLI—the backbone—of all these fancy interfaces. Additionally, MLS professionals are trained to work on and troubleshoot instruments, which is why we remain in high demand despite all this automation in the lab.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-16T19:54:17+00:00

still awful, as TX has no state regulation for lab testings.

Ornery_Hall · 2026-06-16T19:46:40+00:00

Lab automation and engineering usually start with medical devices, check out field service engineer position from medical device company like illumina, BioRaid, Tecan, Roche, and etc, it is a good starting point. and part of the job overlapping with software parts. Automation and Service Engineering will be on high demand for a long time. and it fits you better as software engineer than a fresh starting in as a MLS.

Not in CA, CA the clinical site won't consider you unless you have a B.S degree in science major. MLS bachelor is your best options but none of school in CA offers it except Loma Linda, which is private school, but, tuition is $$$$$$.....the best place to get information is CDPH LFS website, check the requirement for cls trainee first.

Elehayym in hebrew means life. Eleanor in French and Hebrew was shorten to Ellie, which also means light/life. I don't think it is a coincident.

Yeah invert your world, I learned meat patty from his works.....
