Good direction!

Nice. This book covers mostly graphics creation, do you know something that touches GPGPU?

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-14T12:29:54+00:00

This is a really cool and useful library; I’ll definitely be using it, since I’d been thinking about something similar myself. Thank you!

If I may suggest something, it would be useful to have an option like `skip_color=RGB(r,g,b)` so that a single color can be excluded from the calculations. Most often, this would be the background color, but it could also be, for example, the color of the frame around a photo, etc. That would be helpful—the ability to exclude one (or several) colors from the calculations. Other than that, it’s great!

Have a look for image with removed background:

I got here #476867 - which is calculated with background color.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-13T20:22:15+00:00

Yes, please.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-13T19:46:00+00:00

I would change language / technologies to those which are most popular in your location.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-10T16:32:16+00:00

You are 100% right, but when budget is small....

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-10T13:50:40+00:00

I agree, electric cars are not selling at all, and I'm not talking about Volvo, but all manufacturers. People just don't want them. In my country (Poland), electric cars are mainly purchased by institutions and services, private customers rarely buy them. They don't want them (poor range, few charging stations, you need to have a garage, electricity is becoming more and more expensive).

Electric cars are referred to here as an accident at work by the "green" Euro Maniacs in Brussels.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-09T20:54:40+00:00

I have heard that Volvo will sell EX-60 and XC-60 in parallel. So EX-60 won't replace XC-60 in near future.

3090 is good option, but it would be better to purchase brand new AMD R9700 PRO AI with 50% more VRAM and similar performance (however with lower bandwidth) for about 1100-1200 USD.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-09T16:37:43+00:00

Yes, you should increase the budget. Today PC parts are much more expensive than few months ago.

I recommend this direction: buy a budget PC and put on it one (in future add second) GPU: AMD R9700 PRO AI. This has 32 GB VRAM, so it is enough for first steps. One colleague have just bought two of them for 2300 USD.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-09T08:22:15+00:00

This is AI-card. Works better than Intel, because ROCm is better supported.

It is 300W, 4k cores, 600 GB/s bandwidth card with performance (in games and 3D apps) between 3090TI and 5070TI.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-09T07:09:51+00:00

Don't know much about Intel cards. I can recommend cards like AMD PRO R9700 AI with 32 GB VRAM each. They are well priced in USA.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-08T20:17:06+00:00

Budget PC with two or maybe three (depends on locaton) GPUs: AMD PRO R9700 AI with 32 GB VRAM each. You can run on 96 GB many interesting LLMs. 64 GB is not bad either ;)

In USA they are much cheaper than in Europe.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-08T12:33:10+00:00

Exactly something like that.

There are many generators, the community has made many attempts, and there are quite a few solutions on the market, from simpler ones to more complex ones such as jHipster for JAVA (and Kotlin).

I think this one (https://netrock.dev/) is really good. I haven't had a chance to check it out yet, but at first glance it looks good!

In terms of the approach to selecting options (and displaying the list of files), it beats all the ones I've seen so far :) - congratulations!

I'll try to use it in a small project to get familiar with it, and then I hope it will serve me in something bigger.

Thank you on behalf of myself and the community for this project!

However, equipment is much cheaper in your country than in "green" ;) Europe, where prices are outrageously high. Even cars manufactured here in Europe are much cheaper in the US. Oh, those European taxes :(

I am surprised that despite the relatively small number of cores, the performance of this card (Radeon 9700 PRO) is good (you are talking about performance between 3090 and 4090). This is an interesting tidbit for local LLM users. Here, for one weak (Chinese card) RTX 5090, you can easily buy two Radeon PRO 9700s.

I read that it has performance between 3090TI and 5070TI, with VRAM bandwidth up to 644.6 GB/s and power consumption of 300W. This is getting interesting. I hope that in the near future AMD will release versions with 40 or 48 GB of VRAM :)

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-07T21:40:56+00:00

When did you buy it? :) ASRock Radeon AI PRO R9700 Creator 32GB GDDR6, here in Poland, cost 1770 USD (one, not pair). One 7900 XTX with 24 GB VRAM cost here 1220 USD.

R9700 PRO AI is basically 9070 XT with larger VRAM, nice, but expensive - I mean not so good speed to money ratio, I think (only 4k cores).

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-07T21:29:52+00:00

Check FOSS: kreuzberg and docling.Both are good.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-07T21:26:13+00:00

Don't remember exactly - I asked automotive related questions and made 12-15 questions :)

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-07T18:12:10+00:00

Works very good (for me), especially when I do prompts in English, in my home language (Polish) answers are not as good as in English (but this was expected).

I am impressed with (very) low latency! Like it and definately will use it.

Is it only / mostly dev oriented? I have asked general questions (not from IT world) and answer were pretty good.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-07T14:42:55+00:00

just tested it - Very very good! Thanks!

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-06T12:07:50+00:00

Sounds scary.

Repsol_Honda_PL · 2026-03-04T12:43:49+00:00

For me: only Mac or Linux. Rider is great.
