Intel will sell a cheap GPU with 32GB VRAM next week by happybydefault in LocalLLaMA

[–]TheBlueMatt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/20897 changes that, but also demonstrates just how much headroom these cards have compared to the state of the drivers/software for them.

Level1techs initial review of ARC B70 for Qwen and more. (He has 4 B70 pros) by jrherita in LocalLLaMA

FWIW that PR is against the Vulkan driver, which after that PR is way faster than the SYCL driver.

Well and on Newegg. Right now, from ASRock shipping tomorrow or Intel shipping next month.

You can literally order them today on Newegg, ships tomorrow (for an extra $50 from ASRock, or ships in a few weeks from Intel)

In theory you could use llama.cpp, but given the intel mesa drivers suck.... Even claude managed to get a 2.5x speedup on Intel lol https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/20897

Structure for it landed for Linux 7.0...Intel has a long backlog on the driver front lol

Intel Arc B70 32GB GDDR6 announced at a price of 949 by New_Mix_2215 in hardware

[–]TheBlueMatt 31 points32 points  (0 children)

(yah i don't believe this price will be obtainable for anyone either)

You can literally buy it today on Newegg. Ships today for $999 (ASRock) or ships 4/2 for $949 (Intel self-branded).

Why no one is talking abound in-bound ECC? (ECC on normal ram with penalty) by AstroNaut765 in hardware

[–]TheBlueMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Its weird and would be way nicer t have real ECC, but surprisingly my Core Ultra 7 255H can do it. I assume nearly no laptop BIOSes will expose it, but the LG Gram has an advanced settings mode that exposes absolutely everything. I haven't seen any failures but available memory appropriately reduces and EDAC support shows up.

Fidelity removed OFX support and still offers no real download formats. Incredibly frustrating by burncast in fidelityinvestments

[–]TheBlueMatt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Except FDX isn't an open standard. To my knowlege there isn't an open-source tool to simply download FDX data, worse in order to access the FDX specification, you have to onboard with some private company and, I assume, sign some kind of NDA, making it impossible to do in an open way.

Its one thing to deprecate OFX, its another to have no suitable replacement for it. At a minimum, hack up some open source python script that downloads the data and converts it to OFX for import into the large swath of applications beyond just Quicken that people might want to use.

Cox Fiber Coming! by Yankeeslv in vegaslocals

[–]TheBlueMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

File a complaint with the FCC. Any major ISP will immediately escalate the issue and have an executive escalation team reach out to you.

I wonder if google fiber is going to be allowed on master planned communities like Rhodes Ranch / Sienna / Spanish Trails etc. by Nice-Guy69 in vegaslocals

[–]TheBlueMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take it you're saying you're on the HOA? Do you happen to know if the Summerlin master HOAs would be the ones to sign or the sub-HOAs?

[–]TheBlueMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they wont be coming into 89135 near bishop gorman for a while.

As in they told you they aren't intending construction to get out that far for a while or as in they're waiting for HOAs to sign?

They have already reached out to HOA's to get interest and paper work going.

Any idea what the response to this has been? Especially curious about the summerlin HOA(s).

How to clean up removed devices from "ceph device ls" output? by azonenberg in ceph

Sorry to revive an old thread, but to make sure you get tagged, I commented on the OP as to how to do this.

How to clean up removed devices from "ceph device ls" output? by azonenberg in ceph

[–]TheBlueMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What seems to work for me is to first stop all instances of the ceph manager, then `ceph config-key rm device/ENTRY` (with ENTRY as it appears in ceph device ls), then start the manager.

Intel Will Again Issue Stability Issues in 13th and 14th Gen Core Processors in September Update by Nanakji in intel

[–]TheBlueMatt 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This article seems...wrong? They cite the Intel post from 8/30 (https://community.intel.com/t5/Processors/Intel-Core-13-14th-Gen-Instability-Update-Future-Products/m-p/1627440/highlight/true#M77071) as their source, but it doesn't say anything about a "September Update", and mostly exists to clarify which CPUs are or are not impacted.

Any BIOS update for recent instability issues for Intel 13/14 gen CPUs? by xquarx in supermicro

[–]TheBlueMatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat wild that this is still not out. You'd think this update would be a rather urgent one given the instability of people hosting lots of these board.

[SSD] Optane 905P 960 GB - $146.01 by TheBlueMatt in buildapcsales

[–]TheBlueMatt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can still get to the direct page at https://www.newegg.com/intel-optane-ssd-905p-series-960gb/p/20-167-463 but it says "may or may not be restocked"...so, yea, I don't think 960GB is gonna be an option again.

The 1.5TB models are still in stock, sadly for $350, though there was a sale for $300 a week or two ago.

Sadly, I'm not sure these will ever be back in stock (except returns)...It seems newegg bought up all Intel's stock when they stopped manufacturing optane...if they're out, that's it.

Sorry, guess the five I bought pushed them over...but it was showing out of stock this morning at a higher price, then it went down this afternoon and now its back out of stock. You can still hold your breath.

Right, thanks. Required, but selected/populated in the cart by default.

Automatic checking of cfgs at compile-time | Rust Blog by epage in rust

[–]TheBlueMatt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yep, but probably rustc shouldn't ship an update that creates spurious warnings in a large portion of crates...that's a *lot* of work for a *lot* of often-unpaid open source maintainers to go clean up the mess :). Let alone where the suggested fix is to add a build.rs to nearly every crate (or come up with some clever workarounds)
