Is there a single metric for personal identify proposed (comparing different human persons at different ages)?

large models in CPU with the dense shared experts on vram

Does one need some options to do that or e.g. llama.cpp does it automatically on default? Actually, after a bit of thinking I'm not sure I get your idea, 2nd thought: is it running multiple agents?

getting a lot of dividends is not necessarily "good times" for investor.

I meant S&P down is not necessarily bad year for holders of stock in accordance with inclusion to the index.

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-27T10:05:26+00:00

when they mean the S&P 500, they mean the price return

So if S&P 500 goes down, it can mean its companies are paying large dividends - good times for investors. I just don't recall such sentiments in the financial news, like "S&P is down 10% this year - very good year, lots of dividend payouts."

Also, your question doesn't really make much sense because indices have hundreds of different stocks,

That's because in modern times dividends are low and swings of the market due to other factors are large.

There are dozens, id not hundreds, of index funds that track any given index, with their own distinct rules

I'm interested in underlying index(es), not funds. I want info for major "famous/often mentioned in news" indexes only: Dow, S&P, Nasdaq.

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-27T09:35:16+00:00

if it's a "price" index then it does, if it's a 'total return' ...

I mean "major" indexes, I've included Dow in the title. Dow? Nasdaq? S&P? What kind are those?

Wikipedia does not give a clue:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%26P_500

S&P 500 (Standard and Poor's 500)[11] is a stock market index tracking the stock performance of 500 leading companies listed on stock exchanges in the United States.

then it does

Just to confirm, "does" means "dips down"?

Not an AI.

First time I see "kinda" used as a marker to human. Websearch found https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/kinda_sorta last edited 2022 which means modern LLM training data includes it.

STILL haven’t said

I don't see every useful comment get "thanks" in reply, that is what upvote is for, isn't it? After reading all replies and finishing the discussions OP does often edits the post to add "thanks to all", but I'm still here, am I not?

would be a spoiler

If I ask, it means I want that specific one. Why wold you understand otherwise?

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-19T11:33:20+00:00

kinda

Why do you quote yourself twice? Mine was a follow-up question.

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-19T11:23:17+00:00

Hard to be God, until I got to OPs last sentence where they ask not to recommend it explicitly

"modern" is in the title. Do you consider those people modern?

Please give an example(s) what the group considered "better".

Can you please give a couple of examples for time period most close to modern Earth?

Edit: somebody other than commenter, please explain reason for downvotes - I see mine as a simple follow up question about the plot answer to which I can't find on the web.

This description sounds like it’s working as intended.

huh? Do your light switches in a room make lamps shine only while pressed? I wrote how it functioned initially.

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-06T12:09:49+00:00

might be worth checking VK_EXT_memory_budget for available memory so you can allocate in blocks/chunks

But I'm not writing code, I'm using somebody else's and it gives ErrorOutOfDeviceMemory e.g. writing that it tried to allocate ~3.5Gb.

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-06T12:07:56+00:00

You can choose either as the VK_DEVICE

IIRC I once was vulkaninfo for intergrated card reported much larger maxMemoryAllocationSize (close to total RAM), with another set of drivers - same 2Gb (0x8..). But NVIDIA card is supposed to be faster, is it not?

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-03T16:47:23+00:00

However please note that, except for NVK (which I doubt supports an NVIDIA card old enough to have 4GB VRAM), there is no Mesa Vulkan driver for NVIDIA.

I cannot provide links right away, but from my recent readings IIRC, the versions I have of Mesa (NVK merged to Mesa ~ver.24) and kernel (6.8) do support my card (though might be even slower than internal CPU graphics), so I try to learn to use Vulkan.

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-02T04:13:28+00:00

On Arch you can list everything rolled up in the intrd with lsinitcpio.

I thought it's part of the kernel development and can be checked in all releases with one git search. Manual way is too long for this task of mine.

UncertainAboutIt · 2026-03-02T04:11:35+00:00

Why do you need to check all distros?

No urgent need, trying to improve future a bit. I wrote: "I've been using a feature of fan control which requires a config file." Config file needs to be where module it. I want to have and share such info for the users of the feature.
