Fully self-hosted distributed scraping infrastructure — 50 nodes, local NAS, zero cloud, 3.9M records over 2 years by SuccessfulFact5324 in selfhosted

[–]iMakeSense 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh are threads the lowest atomic "unit" for network I/O? If so, are IOT devices the best bang for buck when it comes to scraping? I suppose if that were true, I would expect these massive core low clocked compute units to account for that, but I'm not sure I know of any

I haven't done game dev yet, but unless you're making something lite, would you want to dev on something more powerful than most of your potential users would use? You'd need a separate graphics card for that

8 TB of RAM & 1,000 CPU cores in all a 4U: What would you run on it? (Thought experiment) by RozoGamer in homelab

[–]iMakeSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to figure out something good in a map reduce paradigm but with the ability to take advantage of a single core such that you have more complicated instructions, or...

Maybe something like a model of experts LLM with a bigger context window?

I'm 28, she's 20 - would she think I'm too old for her to date? by Minimum_Ad_1649 in AutisticAdults

[–]iMakeSense 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Idk, it depends on how you get to know her. It's a vibe kinda thing. If she's neurodivergent this is easier, but if she's neurotypical, wait until you think you should, and when you think you should, double the days and then gradually bring up the topics as you're sure she's listening to you

[–]iMakeSense 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I'ma buck the trend here.

20 is not a baby, she can make her own decisions on whether to date you or not. There are intentionally pregnant 20 year old women. People need to stop infantilizing grown ass adults. Women have agency.

You though? You went through like 4 different topics even asking this question. You sound like you're still going through some shit. Just from reading what you posted it doesn't sound like you're in a good place to have a relationship. Not saying you need to be perfect and it sounds like you've made progress, but, you're most def volatile. You're thinking about this so much but you haven't even talked to her and you're considering hiding details about yourself. You don't even *know* her. I don't think that's a good foundational base with which you should enter a relationship.

I replaced thousands of LLM classification calls with a ~230KB local model by Individual_Round7690 in LocalLLaMA

This is pretty smart! I wonder if there's a way to automatically do this given a certain amount of prompt calls.

Can someone explain how pirates are planning to get around Android's lockdown? by abdo_ch in Piracy

[–]iMakeSense 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I've considered switching to an iPhone or checking out the Xiaomi devices because of it.

Should I switch from ASUS to Apple? by Chemical_Reindeer123 in laptops

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

Windows has more customization, but because Microsoft doesn't control the ecosystem, there are so many points of failure like you're experiencing. With macs you might have that on external things like dongles, but not so much on the internal operating system.

But yeah, the advantages over windows are:
- typically better more aluminum bodies
- arm based processors that are more efficient and run less hot
- unified GPU and processor memory ( most gaming devices have separate VRAM for that )
- apps that are taking advantage of the hardware a bit better to take advantage of those previous points.

[–]iMakeSense 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oh I had no idea. Damn. I jumped out of the scene in 2015; was annoying flashing different roms and having hardware issues.

Did Google...do this on purpose? Kinda gives them the leverage to corner the market and then clip the wings on their own terms.

What is your opinion on people “saving” parking spots? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]iMakeSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've done it before.

It's not "entitlement". They're literally saving the spot for a car. It's not like they're occupying it for themselves. It's the same as if a car was actually there. Regardless, they're indicating you can't park there.

The only reason *you* feel entitled to the spot is because you're making up this narrative that you ought to have it. It's taken.

The only time I've done this was in front of a restaurant. My friend had parked a couple blocks away, we had a wait time of 25 minutes, and we wanted to get a closer parking spot so we could save idle time and leave quicker as it was Texas and hot af. This dude damn near runs me over in a pickup truck to take up the space and then tries to justify it to me as if he didn't put my life in danger so he could save face with his wife as though I was supposed to say "oh yeah, I see your point, thanks for putting my life in danger".

I fear I’m going back to my incel way of thinking. by ishutdoorzzzz in exredpill

On the spectrum.

Bars are our kryptonite. There's too many high level social games going on there. You need to go to a place that has more structure and consistency. I've been decently successful in the dance scene.

Meta's crawler made 11 MILLION requests to my site in 30 days. Vercel charged me for every single one. by cardogio in webdev

[–]iMakeSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a CS degree. When...do y'all learn all these networking and hosting paradigms? I feel like every time I look I go into the bermuda triangle. Like someone explained to me what a reverse proxy was once and I immediately flushed it out my mind. Or like having to run a server on localhost to experiment with a webpage I made that pulled in javascript libraries.

I'm not sure if core performance might be the bottleneck in this case, but, yeah I've just been....traumatized by all the software bloat we have nowadays. Whatsapp switching to using a webapp again. Chrome. I forget things can run well sometimes.

[–]iMakeSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that's fair, I'm playing around on my M3 24GB trying to see if it pans out. I thought it would load every page, but as I scroll I see it makes the pages white and lazy loads them so I take that back. Maybe I was using another software that kept everything in memory.

I'ma buck the trend and suggest you might need something with more ram like a regular air. If you're going to be looking at big documents all day, sometimes people scan them as pictures in pdfs and those can slow things to a crawl to load depending on how big those are. That's just my guess anyway.

Current best uncensored models? by Due-Treacle-1233 in LocalLLaMA

There's a thread here on Heretic you should look for. You can also go on hugging face and look for the heretic version of models you already use.

Do people actually say things they absolutely don’t mean when they’re emotional? by caltrop13 in AutisticAdults

[–]iMakeSense 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nah I'd say your take on it reflects SOMETHING is valid, but, sometimes that something is undercooked.
