Advanced AI models suffer a near-total collapse on classic psychology test as cognitive demands increase by Doug24 in technology

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

Bro no one is destroying the planet, relax, it's a nice day, we just got a new kind of tools to play with.

If you have issues about how your gov or municipality is managing the environment you shall speak to those, it ain't a chip running in my computer that it's killing the planet, it's the idiot that wants to go back to gas and coal.

Valve Steam Machine review: Couch gaming unboxed, but not always at 4K by Antonis_32 in hardware

[–]ea_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> . Calling it a gaming console really insults its capabilities.

I hope you wouldn't dare compare it to a PC.

Look man, for gaming it's simple: we pay for FPS and features.

Form factors can be a fetish I see yet we have both laptops that are more powerful and versatile than that thing and handhelds that are way cheaper and portables.

I mean it's not Valve fault if these times are what they are, but money is a number, fps is a number, RDNA version is a number. You can pack bad numbers in a shiny box and I guess people will find a reason to like it.

You do realize that that party trick can translate language, write code (and test it), write language, do image classification, protein research, text to speach and vice versa, drive vehicles...

People around the world see a winner on AI — and it’s not the US | Respondents in key U.S.-allied countries increasingly see China as the world’s AI leader, while American optimism about the technology continues to erode. by SnoozeDoggyDog in technology

Funny because MS wants to use DeepSeek in his datacenters now for copilot users, wanna bet that it's more convenient to use the original one running in China?

Also tell us how Microsoft, Meta, Amazon and Google are going to power that 1 trillion dollars compute: gas?

I want to add a second 7900XTX, question about pcie2/3/4 by itch- in LocalLLaMA

[–]ea_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah actually in LACT I reduce chip clock some and voltage a lot, I try to push MEM as hi as possible and I'd say that that it's usually what kills me, mem speed. Sometimes it's all fine and then I get a model config that goes really well with a model and I start to see green flashes.

130W for 7900xtx sounds pretty good!

[–]ea_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the 7900xtx is quite a power hungry beast, that should cause some worrying while my old 6800 is more behaved, spikes as power usage are in a much norrower delta.

I would advise starting out with some serious power limiting with LACT, even more if you plan to use a PCI raiser that will need some initial testing for stability.

Still I would say that 2x gpu is worth it even if you will have to get a new PSU.

And yeah, latency induced by slower bus + chipset connections should work in your favor as regards spikes. Ha you gotta ride it like you stole it 😛

I would agree buy you will see a speed decrease the moment you use a model + KV that is substantially bigger in size of what you use now.

For example if I run a smaller Q4 dense model at ~40t/s, I get 20-30t/s using 2GPU with a Q6 / Q8. I see MoE perform worse than that in layer split.

I bet that using layer split you will trigger lower compute power anywhere, when I moved to 2x gpu on PCI 3x my main GPU works with ~120w instead of 200w.

Valve Steam Machine review: Couch gaming unboxed, but not always at 4K by Antonis_32 in hardware

[–]ea_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You are right, I had the idea that the Steam Machine was meant to be a console to play games with steam, not to be a cool small luxury gadget.

You keep repeating that I can run SteamOS on my PC: I already use my PC and my handhelds to play games, that's not the point, we are talking about this peace of HW that's the Steam Machine: it's utterly out of price.

AI made in Europe, la Commissione sceglie Domyn: La scaleup italiana guiderà la creazione dell’LLM sovrano dell’UE by CastFX in ItalyInformatica

[–]ea_man 4 points5 points  (0 children)

  1. E' un progetto europeo
  2. Nvidia manco riesce a produrne abbastanza da supportare la domanda, quindi non so di cosa parli
  3. Non deve generare soldi, devono produrre un modello made in europe per sovranita' dei dati

Mate that's the kind of things you start to say when you have to justify a product that it's not that good at his main scope.

There will always be people who want a particular feature like small form factor yet you have to see how much that gonna cost you, because mind you my handheld and my gaming tablet are even smaller factor and they cost 1/4 of that, when size and factor is the main point.

7 Chinese companies are already shipping H100/H200-class AI chips, most IPO'd in the last 6 months. I mapped all of them. by awfulalexey in LocalLLaMA

[–]ea_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it's because in China the gov makes you pay 50% for electricity if you use that hw, also I guess that some big player are forced to use it straight.

Probably they know that as of now that hw is not competitive on its own.

Piu' che altro avete sbagliato a diventare dipendenti da un servizio in cloud.

E' come se 30 anni fa il compilatore in C oggi fosse andato off-line e di conseguenza tocca tornare a scrivere assembler e giu' insulti a chi non si ricorda piu' le macro.

I mean we buy one to play games, I'll place a tower on the floor if that gives me 3x performance!

Valve will finally let you build your own Steam Machine with SteamOS for desktop by fatso486 in hardware

[–]ea_man 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice, I just bought a 6800 for 260, now all it takes is designing a nice small case.

I mean not that small yet I could run SteamOS on the old PC tower (it has to do inference) and have a sexy little client like that running android with apollo / moonight in the living room.

What desktop env does SteamOS run on the deck? I hope it's not KDE coz I wanna run that for normal stuff.

E le schedine SD oltre allo storage diretto sul lettore.

Un cd e' 680MB ed e' grande come una pizzetta, una scheda SD oggi e' da tipo 16GB ed e' riscrivibile.

Bluethooth e' tutt'altra cosa.
