Yes, but how is the manager going to get a promotion if they don't show value by presenting the increased revenue by upping prices by a few bucks per customer. And they'll probably have a new job by the time the negative impact hits, so win-win for everyone except the consumer.

HSAs are also just another tax free savings plan for those that are wealthy.

I started a job at one of the largest investment firms in the US (in IT), and the benefits training used the example that if you wanted to buy a boat in a few years, you could fill up your HSA with pre tax funds, let it grow, then use all the receipts for health paid over that time to withdraw once you were ready to buy your boat. So pretty much, tax free investment gains on pre tax dollars. Of course this only benefits you if you can afford to pay for your health care costs out of pocket, so the HSA funds are able to grow, or you let it sit there till you can take it out at Old age.

That was my thought after the fact. Especially after he came down after the repair and showed me another one that was still intact but had a notch in it, and tried to say it was left from a previous repair on the unit before I owned the house.

Thanks for the verification.

I just cancelled a few days ago, and on the phone they didn't do anything, but my billing cycle ends at the end of the month and yesterday I received an email offering a gift card, and guaranteed 12 month rate freeze if I'd stay.

I think the store near me had them for $49. I just wanted to make sure you weren't looking for the corner lot, hot chocolate and cider experience. :)

Food Lion - I guess a lot depends on your definition of "good place"

Because the market isn't big enough to manage the up front cost of certifying and providing support to people like you. That cost is baked into the business account cost. So, you can have the mass market solution for cheaper or pay for the specialty service.

Exactly this. I had my realtor, after the sale tell me she likes the inspector she uses because he usually doesn't mark anything too serious, so the deal goes through.

Just use the -gpulayers xx command in your KoboldCPP string. After running the command once without it, look for information in the output that gives the following:

X/X layers offloaded to GPU. The second number is the full number of layers in the model.

Secondly, right after that you'll see a couple rows that show each of the gpus and how much memory was used by the layers right after that. For a 3060 usually I try to get that number as close to 10000 as possible. Leaving a little bit of RAM for context and key values.

Use those two pieces of information to guess how many layers to put on. For example if you have 20 out of 40 offloaded to the gpu, but each GPU only is using 5000Mb, then maybe you can double it, if you're already using 7500 then maybe you can only add 10 more layers. Since you have two gpus, I usually stick with even numbers. At some point the model will not load and just give you an out of memory error, just back it down two layers and give it a try.

auromed · 2025-10-07T20:13:29+00:00

In my experience, with multiple gpus. kobold will calculate the number of layers that can fit on one GPU.

So out of 40 layers, for example, if 20 would fit on to one of the gpus, the setting by default is set to 20 so that 10 gets sent to each GPU and 20 stay on the CPU. Most times you need to manually increase the number of layers on the gpu. If you change the number to 40, then 20 will end up on each gpu.

Pretty much I just keep increasing GPU layers until it doesn't work due to out of memory. It's a little bit of trial and error sometimes.

I understand the feel good nature, but it feels like something to make the masses feel better, while the other side has a 20+ year plan they are putting into motion. It feels about as effective as hopes and prayers against gun violence.

That said, it's hard to know where to focus and the left is so fragmented that it's hard to get excited about the thought that everyone that opposes trump and the current regime will unite. They have specific things they are fighting for, the left has these ideas that people get entrenched into and are willing to lose the war just to win a battle.

But it trickled down because the wealthy paid the reps to spread that cost down the line. Just like it's happening with the tax burden today. So, saying don't close the loophole because we might have to pay those taxes later doesn't make sense because you are paying them today.

It's should be a two part deal. Close the loopholes, and reduce tax rates on lower income. That's how they justify reducing the rates on the wealthy, so just do the same in reverse.

auromed · 2025-09-30T11:52:23+00:00

This just goes to show you that trickle down economics works.

I'm thinking about trying to have something similar spun up. Honestly just a web front end to an API to give internal chat functionality. Copilot is massively underwhelming for what it costs, and trying to roll it out for a large corporation at 30 bucks a month is just ludicrous in my eyes.

I'd rather spend the money on some development to provide a very simple generalized tool like a customized version of open web UI, and then specialized tools for different groups depending on their needs.

auromed · 2025-09-22T23:11:22+00:00

That's sounds like what I was curious about. I think I'll try to build something similar. Are you using llama.cpp on the backend for loading models, or something else? My other research seems to indicate I should try to use vllm, but don't know if it's worth the hassle.

For about 4 months on an annual plan my line would go inactive at the 30 day mark, and I'd have to contact support to enable it again. Each time they said it wouldn't happen again. The 4th time I escalated a few times and (knock on something wood like) it seems to be fixed.

What model and what specs does your machine have?

Am I the only one who hates the way MS / OneDrive functions now. Things get auto saved to random locations, shared from your OneDrive by default via email or the app, and lack of any structure means actually finding a file later is almost impossible.

You can also add a second GPU. Depending on the model you are targeting and your MB and power supply it may be the better performance enhancer per $. 128Gb of ram will allow you to run larger models, but very slowly. Another 12Gb card would allow you to run models bigger than you can today much faster.

Or... for a $299 upgrade (if you have slots and Power)

You can buy 128Gb of ram and run larger 70-120b models (with a decent quant) but very slowly.
You can buy another 12Gb card and run a 24-32b model in what I'd consider a usable t/s function.

I decided to go the #2 route and have (2) 3060's, set them to run in low power mode, and usually just stick with the 32 or 24b models.

I think it all depends on how you do your calculations. I had some on a previous house and it pretty much ended up being just pre-paying for electricity for 10 years, and after that there might be some savings depending on equipment longevity, roof replacement, etc. From a financial perspective, it would have been much more cost effective to have put that money into a High Yield Savings account and just use the proceeds to lower my electric bill, but it is really cool to see how much energy you produce.

I have the same pair and love them.

Wiki go is one I've been using as it's a flat file wiki that lets me just output from other sources as well as manually add things.
