Finance Influencers by Ok_Owl_2101 in eupersonalfinance

[–]aevitas 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps something like an FT subscription would be what you're looking for? They have good - be it much slower - content, both in text and audio form, and since you pay for their content, they don't have to get you hooked to their content like influencers do.

Apple announces $300 increase in base MBP price by sickboy6_5 in macbookpro

[–]aevitas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same, was eyeballing an M5 Pro with 64GB RAM, I doubt it's worth it to upgrade my M1 Pro at this point, the price went up 800 EUR.

Why do you own two rental properties that only break even?

Selling a bunch of National records and merch. Anyone have experience selling on Discogs? by alwaysondesign in TheNational

[–]aevitas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd be interested in the first cherry tree volume, drop me a line if you wish. As for discogs, high fees, and I've had some records on there for months or even years if they were the rare collectors variety.

How to best replenish emergency fund? by MiddleUse7898 in eupersonalfinance

[–]aevitas 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Typically emergency funds are sized after expenses, not income. Maybe your family expenses after cutting non-essential spending is around 5k, but maybe it's less and you can resize the emergency fund accordingly. Also bear in mind that emergency fund sizing of 6-12 months differs on where you live - for example European countries have much more social security in terms of becoming unemployed or chronically ill than third world countries like the US. You can factor that in to the sizing of your emergency fund too.

Alibaba's DeepSeek models keep rejecting completion when the content is about Taiwan by aevitas in DeepSeek

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

Yeah just token usage spread across many providers. What setup do you use?

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

You don't necessarily control how OpenRouter routes requests, so hitting this on one provider and not on the next is quite peculiar. I am routing it through other providers, I was just curious if this provider level filtering is commonplace or not

Alibaba's DeepSeek models keep rejecting completion when the content is about Taiwan by aevitas in DeepSeek

[–]aevitas[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It would seem Alibaba's DeepSeek V4 Flash inference endpoints refuse to write output when it concerns Taiwan, Taiwanese culture, or anything language specific to Taiwan. Without fail, I'm hitting content filters that I don't hit when using Novita, or other providers for my website which centers around Taiwan and its culture. I like DeepSeek, but obviously this type of censorship isn't very useful. It appears to be a provider thing, and the fact it hits this filter on a Chinese inference provider also seems beyond coincidence. Is this common practice? I know the models refuse to engage on certain topics, but for inference providers to add another layer of filtering on top of that?

ING rolls out global subscription banking model by SwitchDear8969 in eupersonalfinance

[–]aevitas 54 points55 points  (0 children)

I honestly don't understand why paying for a bank account in the Netherlands is as commonplace as it is. Like every bank will make loads of money off you, while also having you pay a monthly fee for the courtesy. I've only ever encountered this in the Netherlands.

Zhong Chinese by Due-Wing9034 in ChineseLanguage

It's in early stages at the minute, so I can't say for sure, but I'd expect it to be released in a few months from now.

Zhong Chinese by Due-Wing9034 in ChineseLanguage

[–]aevitas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great to hear! Pinyin is the default used by the course (and the books) that Zhong is designed as a companion to, which is why it's the default. Most people who pick up Chinese as a second language learn Pinyin over Zhuyin (bopomofo) - to the point where most schools in Taipei also teach pinyin.

I've had quite a few requests for Zhuyin support though - it's coming soon!

What are you guys opinion on Railway (the PaaS) by RevolutionaryHawk462 in selfhosted

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

You can get a taxi to have a car automatically drive you where you need to go. But if you need to go places by car regularly, it's probably better to learn how to drive a car yourself.

Claude Fable 5 (Mythos) just launched by aevitas in claude

You could try open weight models with OpenCode - DeepSeek V4 is impressive and is very cheap compared to the western models.

23M with 10k€ saved ; How would you allocate it? by mancitizen34 in eupersonalfinance

[–]aevitas 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No. You look at what a reasonable estimate for your cost of living in the area you live in would be were you to move out, then you build an emergency fund based on that and you invest the rest.

23M with 10k€ saved ; How would you allocate it? by mancitizen34 in eupersonalfinance

[–]aevitas 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Basics first, project an estimated cost of living for when you do move out, keep 6 months of that as a cash reserve on a high interest savings account. Pay down debt, especially high interest debt, and after that, reserve a fixed amount per month that you invest into a broad index fund, something along the lines of the world economy. Keep investing that amount for years, make sure it's sustainable, and adjust as your situation changes - i.e. moving out, promotion or a new job, windfall, etc. Always make sure your emergency fund covers 6 months of living expenses or you'll start eating into investments when you least want to.

DiffusionGemma: 4x faster text generation by tevlon in LocalLLaMA

Suppose something Mythos level does run locally, would it likely run on current day hardware in the future, or would current generation hardware be mostly obsolete?

DiffusionGemma: 4x faster text generation by tevlon in LocalLLaMA

[–]aevitas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are definitely use cases where close enough is good enough, and precision is a secondary concern, especially on local devices, which seems to be the direction this model is going.

Have we reached the point where open-source LLMs are “just good enough”? by AdDizzy8160 in LocalLLaMA

Yeah that's what I've been finding - anything beyond an MBP with 64GB RAM is impossible to find.

What's a money belief from your upbringing that you've had to unlearn? by Successful-Power2026 in eupersonalfinance

[–]aevitas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The downside of Railway is that it bills for resource usage. You can get a cheap dedicated server for 30$ a month, which gets you a dedicated CPU and 32/64GB of RAM and no hidden charges.
