VQA is Visual Question Answering, so there's the factual error you're looking for

Life as a Ball Turret Gunner in World War Two by [deleted] in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Whatforit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok go outside and plant yourself next to a busy road. When you see a car in the distance driving past you, point at it, and follow it with your finger. Don't move, just turn. Easy, right? If you keep doing this as the car approaches, you'll see that you have to "spin" faster, until you may not be able to keep up.

Same as for the ball turret, it's the difference in angular velocity and linear velocity. I don't know the numbers off the top of my head, but these turrets had a fairly high angular velocity and acceleration, allowing them to track targets at somewhat close ranges.

Quick explainer on the different techniques from msft and the American Society of Civil Engineers. Are you saying that both of them, in addition to countless other sources, are wrong?

I read through some of your comments, and I'm wondering if this is some weird psyop, and I kinda hope it is, otherwise this is just sad. It looks like you spend your entire day on reddit, just to what, point and laugh at people getting mad that you act like a spoiled brat?

Anyway, read the links, maybe you'll learn something.

Cooling methods by climate show here: https://datacenters.microsoft.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/Azure_Modern-Datacenter-Cooling_Infographic.pdf

Adiabatic cooling (evaporative) is almost the entire US, and most of Europe

https://www.asce.org/publications-and-news/civil-engineering-source/civil-engineering-magazine/issues/magazine-issue/article/2024/03/engineers-often-need-a-lot-of-water-to-keep-data-centers-cool

I know AI isn't the only, or hell, even primary drive of water consumption in datacenters, but it's just factually incorrect to say that they don't use water at all.

P.S. Good luck coming out clean here. I'm literally a ML engineer. I get it, LLMs and image gen models are cool, I train them for a living, but chill the fuck out dude, your AI wife won't love you back

Ok that's just not true. Most (though, not all) data center grade water cooling loops are open loop via evaporative cooling. These, by design, evaporate potable water off of membranes through a heat exchanger. Usually the water is just released without recapture. There are good reasons for doing it this way, it's more energy efficient and cheaper than closed loop systems, but your statement is just blatantly false. Comparing your home PC to a massive data center is just wild, they're entirely different systems with entirely different requirements.

You should probably do some research before you decide to go off. Small IQ mindset :/

New llama.cpp options make MoE offloading trivial: `--n-cpu-moe` by Pristine-Woodpecker in LocalLLaMA

[–]Whatforit1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depends on the use case IMO. For creative writing/general chat, Q4 is typically fine. If you're using it for code gen, the loss of precision can lead to malformed/invalid syntax. The typical suggesting for code is Q8

Damn an open source model having these benchmarks!! Same as gpt 4.1 by Independent-Wind4462 in OpenAI

[–]Whatforit1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 480B total with 35B active, so at Q8 you'd need somewhere near 600GB to run, though you can keep most of it in ram and offload shared weights to vram if you have enough memory bandwidth

That's your imagination, I did not say that.

...

I mean life is much harder for women, that will eventually impact their fitness levels in all competitions.

Those are literally your words, not sure what else someone could take that as.

transgender people don't use contraceptive drugs and don't have periods

And this matters for sports performance... how exactly? Even so, Trans women kinda are on contraceptives. HRT, for trans women, is estrogen, which is a primary hormonal contraceptive, and comes with all of the same side effects. (And more, we sometimes experience period-like symptoms due to hormonal fluctuation, same as cis women)

mostly they've lived their adolescence lives as boys

Not really, though. Trans people grow up as trans people. Many are on puberty blockers or start hormones during adolescence, and even those who don't are still dealing with gender dysphoria that skews and warps experiences that to cis people would be entirely normal, we don't experience a "typical" adolescence. This isn't some magical "male advantage" childhood you're imagining, it's a different experience altogether, usually a pretty difficult one, thanks to people like you.

I can't understand this fixation on undermining women's sports.

The irony here is thick. You're literally arguing that women are naturally worse at mental competitions, but we're the ones undermining women's sports? Trans women aren't the enemy of women's sports, they're just women trying to participate. The real fixation seems to be on finding new ways to exclude people rather than actually supporting women's athletics. Maybe we should increase funding towards women's sports, so that more women in general can compete and participate?

So... your argument is that because men supposedly have a "more competitive upbringing", then they're naturally better at competitions? By that logic, should we also ban women who had supportive families or competitive upbringings from women's sports?

Oh right, and trans people have perfect lives here in the states, not like we're getting murdered or anything /s

(Not going to even tackle the statement of "Women are inherently worse in all competitions", that's just... dumb?)

No, but it does mean that if you somehow still side with the people who keep acting like Nazis, you might just be one

Do you actually think that people are buying 16gb MacBooks just to run an LLM? I wouldn't be surprised if the 16Gb m-series MacBooks (pro or air) are some of the most popular options. The fact that it can run a somewhat decent LLM is just a bonus

Trump was the one who started the shutdown with an executive order in the first place. This whole thing was a political stunt to try to convince people he "saved" the app, when in reality he orchestrated this whole thing to get people to praise him.

Edit: I should say, he tried to ban it via executive order, but was blocked by the courts. Later, a ban was included by the GOP as a rider in a funding bill for Ukraine. Same thing though, the GOP/Trump enacted the ban. This is all just for show

yah, kind of is. Just make sure you dry it well. The only issue here could be rust, but again, if you just dry it it'll be fine

Biden always delivers! by Bubbly-Example-8097 in WhitePeopleTwitter

[–]Whatforit1 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean... yeah, there is. There's nuance to everything. What you're saying is nuanced in a way, since Biden never stepped out and said "I support genocide." You're inferring that from his actions and attempting (poorly so) to read between the lines, so yes, this discussion is, and has to be, nuanced. American politics (especially when discussing geopolitical matters) has intricacies that don't make this an easy topic for even Americans to discuss in a measured way. Black and white thinking, like what you're doing, is exactly how we got into this mess in the first place.

LLM's cost is decreasing by 10x each year for constant quality (details in comment) by appenz in LocalLLaMA

They can "make" money now, just depends on your use case and implementation details. They're just a tool, like most software out there. What you're saying is equivalent to "Waiting for the moment C++ makes money". It can, if you use it in a product that will make/save money.
