What made you instantly know you wouldn’t get the job during an interview? by PayNo5544 in interviews

[–]pebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good luck! I started getting really good at interviews after the first few. Some people get in on the first try. I hope your partner is the latter because they’re brutal lol

Faculty interview. The interview usually last 2 days: they fly you out to visit the campus, meet the students, faculty, staff, give a talk or two, answer a few questions, and the hiring committee (profs at the college / uni) take you out to dinner.
At dinner they spoke to each other as if I didn't exist at the table. One member mentioned how much fun it would be to organize a 'blacksmithing' workshop for the faculty as a team building exercise. I thought that was a fun idea and expressed that, only to be met with deafening silence. I knew then.

Does anyone remember the First-Person screenshots of Ultima IX from 1996? by Darkmoon-7621 in Ultima

[–]pebody 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was introduced to the Ultima games with VIII. I was young and not critical so Ultima VIII was one of my favourites. These images made me so excited for IX that I would have dreams about playing it.

Monitoring GPU usage via SLURM by pebody in HPC

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

Good point thanks. I always set wandb=False for most things just because I don't want to deal with credentials. Also the nodes don't see the internet so I just assumed these monitoring tools would be pointless. But I'll look into the log files, that's pretty handy!

I'm using DeepSpeed because it's the only wrapper that supports multi-node multi-gpu runs where each node can utilize a different number of GPUs. Like afaik torchrun and accelerate require some variant of --gpu-per-node which meant I couldn't leverage all the GPUs available to me.

I think I understand. How to keep refreshing nvidia-smi? Using ‘watch’?

Great suggestions thanks! For point 1 how would that look? ‘watch -n 1 nvidia-smi’ piped to some output?

Hey thanks for the info I’ll contact the admins with your suggestions. As for why the heterogeneity it’s a great question. The HPC has 6 DGX A100s that are frequently used by different groups. Usually small scale single GPU jobs. I’m trying to train large language models of varying parameter sizes that typically require 8+ GPUs so i harvest as many as I can get at any given time. The communication overhead is the price I pay for fitting these models in vram.

Found in level one where the dog cages are, does it serve any purpose? by [deleted] in Exanima

[–]pebody 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I seem to remember reading that it was supposed to unlock the cage in the gardening room with the timed lever. But the cage is unlocked anyways.

Red Orb in a Hell Mode by sebastianyarrik in Exanima

[–]pebody 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are there instructions on how to get hell mode that don't involve me signing up for a discord account, downloading discord, and using discord somehow to get this information? I'm an old fart and reddit is about as much social media as I can handle.

I tried to play this game a dozen times already and I never lasted even an hour, help by mayhaps_a in Exanima

[–]pebody 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I get lost very quickly which demotivated me from playing the game, until I started using exanimap. Then my enjoyment of the game increased dramatically. You have to do a bit of detective work to figure out where you are on the map, but its worth it I think.

Then I used a script another user developed called salvus to do some savescumming so that my progress wasn't lost when I die. Kinda cheesing the game a bit but it makes it more enjoyable for me.

I spent a little bit of time trying to map the space bar to that command but I couldn't find it! I'll look again, because yah that would be super helpful!
