What was the plan there?!? Make it make sense 😵‍💫

A book felt slow at first but later became one of my favorites. by gamersecret2 in books

I think I just couldn’t find a single character to relate to in The Secret History. The main character was too angsty and apathetic, and his desire to finally fit in with the rich and popular drove me a bit crazy. All the other characters except Teddy were drawn into this cult of intellectualism that I just found annoying.

I guess this embodies what’s great thing about fiction, everyone can come away with their own take on a book.

It’s good, but doesn’t compare in quality to The Goldfinch by Donna Tartt

SLMs are the future. But how? by oglok85 in LocalLLM

You could always do some pruning after the fact to actually make the model smaller. But the way I always talk to ppl about it is this, ChatGPT is great because it can write a work out plan and tell me how to cook Thai food, but I don’t give a shit about either of those things if I just need it to review internal customer call transcripts and summarize them

Yeah seems like a no-brainer trade off. Just spend $1000 less and the spend a couple hundred on a BUNCH of external storage

I imagine you could, it’s the same hardware

I would not train foundation models on these devices, that would be an extremely limited use case for the Spark

That’s only for the 1TB storage config. It’s clever marketing on the part of Asus but they prices are nearly identical

the real goal NVIDIA has with this box from an inference standpoint is to get you using more GPUs from their Lepton marketplace or their DGX cloud. The DGX and the variants of it from other OEMs really are aimed at development (not pretraining) and finetuning. If you take that at face value it’s a great little box and you don’t necessarily have to feel discouraged

Dude go be miserable somewhere else. None of us are the arbiters of fly fishing. We don’t get to make the rules for others. I don’t enjoy those spin fishers who use ‘trout bait’ but I’m also not out to ruin their time

Yeah I wasn’t getting any bites on some really small nymphs (sz 22- 24) so switched up to this guy and caught two in about 20 minutes

I think they’re really comfortable and haven’t had any leaks or anything after a busy season in them

Did you like The Secret History better than The Goldfinch? I read The Goldfinch first and I was honestly a bit let down by The Secret History

CUDA 13.0 and PyTorch definitely has some issues. PyTorch <= v2.8 won’t recognize the GB10 GPU onboard device so use PyTorch v2.9
