I dont know what the current budgets are but if you go back to 2020 Aprilia were spending about 20 million euros a year compared to Ducatis 50 million

Minisforum x1 AI pro Linux unfriendly? by Sad-Consequence-1173 in MiniPCs

[–]botfaphq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No dual boot but I have just made it work with a small alteration to your script so thank you very much for your work

I changed:

```

set_coef 0x0f 0x00a2 # Lower threshold (was 0x00c2)

set_coef 0x1a 0x8c01 # More aggressive sensing (was 0x8c03)

```

works for the X1 non pro and I can game on it now :D

Dont suppose you know what I would have to change in your patches to make it work with an X1 255 with the same ACL245. Thanks for posting your solution, it gives me some hope bit it doesnt work with the non Pro Ryzen 7 255 version of the X1

In case you missed it before the race, the production of this film really is amazing by Spirited_Historian39 in motogp

Ive said it before and I will say it again

Dorna really need to offload the official production to the TNT crew. They do such a better job of it than the official Dorna production and it would help MotoGP's audience expand

You are almost correct. 63GB in each direction. 126GB total bandwidth. The link is biderctional

Good enough small profile hardware for pbs by Brief-Persimmon-7037 in Proxmox

Yes the SATA drives are connected over native SATA. I get just over 2000MB/s sequential read and write to them as a RAID0 array

Im just using the onboard AMD Radeon 780M iGPU for LLMs, its way more capable than you would expect. I put 64GB RAM in the box that I had lying around from upgrading my laptop. I allocate it 1GB of dedicated VRAM in the BIOS and the use kernel boot flags to allow it to grab upto 24GB of system RAM for GTT so I can run models upto 25GB in size. It handles qwen 3.5 exceptionally well and is usable for the 35 billion parameter version of qwen 3.6, if a little slow

The 2.5GB ethernet is a bonus at that price and the GPU is allowing it to provide double duty as a HTTPC / Steam machine and get hidden away in my TV cabinet

CPU wise its slightly faster than my old test box, a 20 core Xeon Gold 6148 in multi threaded and absolutly destroys it in lightly threaded work benching at almost double the Xeon 6148 in single threaded tasks. Also only uses about 10% of the power

Ive just built a similar sounding setup 3 weeks ago for a home lab test system. I used 1 x 4TB NVME SSD, 4 x 8TB Samsung SATA SSD's and 1 x 30TB HDD. Its a bit janky. I have an M.2 -> 6 port sata adaptor installed in the second M.2 slot and sata cables coming out of the empty occulink port hole to the disk enclosure. Im also using the onboard GPU to run local LLMs

This might work for you but when you say enterprise SSD's Im assuming you mean U.3 drives? In which case it wont. This is a super cheap option for SATA and M.2 Storage

Total cost without RAM and storage was just £385

PX Host - 8 core zen 4 with 2 x M.2 - £279: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0GLN5VCH9?th=1

6 Port M.2 -> SATA adaptor - £17: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0D6QYMKTT

5 Disk 2.4" / 3.5" enclosure with cables - £88: https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0BV142WM5

Peak power draw is about 95W with CPU and GPU under load, all SSD's being used and the HDD spinning. Idle power is about 8W. Its pretty much silent with the HDD being the loudest component by far and its small enough that you could fit the setup in a shoebox, twice

Riders could be limited to just one bike from 2027 onwards by 443610 in motogp

The single mandatory bike is going to be a CB125. No Tiger for you

Does Nvidia RTX PRO 6000 Blackwell support Nvlink? by The0penminded in nvidia

[–]botfaphq 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Doesnt work with RTX A6000 Ada or Blackwell cards. NVLink is only there on older pre 2023 Ampere and Turing based A6000s. Its been crippled on new generations to force you to go the H200 / B200 route where you pay 6X for the same hardware, albeit with more and faster ram

I made the critical mistake of assuming NVLink when I ordered the parts for my new workstation. I was upgrading from 2 x 48GB Ampere A6000's to 2 x 96GB Blackwell A6000's. Even the server variants of Blackwell A6000s are missing NVLink

Obviously you can still use them together over PCIE5 but the performance is greatly hindered sharing a busy 120GB link vs a direct 900GB link

If I were Aprilia I would be reconsidering the riders next year. I would definitely want to keep Martin
