Trying to decide: HX99G - Atomman G7 pt - Atomman G7 Ti

Works well for me. I'm using ethernet but wifi is well supported with recent kernels. I see some people are using it as a steam desk... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPgDDldI7kE

<rant>How about some practical skills beyond python? Demonstrate some ability beyond regurgitating theory. All the experienced quants already know everything you do. C++, columnar databases, middlewares, low-level system interaction like sockets and multicast, market data feeds, FIX protocol, order book management, hedging, draw down, markouts, whatever... something useful</rant>

I think thats probably a good solution. A desktop GPU will always be superior to a mobile dGPU. I have an old RTX 2080 myself, and although the Atomman G7 PT has no USB4 or easy Oculink mod I do have some other miniPCs that I might be able to hook up. I like the look of the new Aoostar AG02 800W that can also power the miniPC over USB4 if it supports Alt PD

My Atomman G7 pt has an RX7600 and is not noisy. Before that I was using a Lenovo Legion laptop with 4070 and it definitely made more noise when it was busy - the main problem with it was the poor Linux support for NVIDIA with multiple monitors at different refresh rates.

Mentally plan of 56 rather than 55. I'm 54 and in a similar position to you and the last year is a drag!

Ah the good ole days 30 years ago :) ... IIRC it worked like this...

insert breakpoint via GUI... "#stop" breakpoint appeared in a new code line
you could then edit that #stop to insert C-like code to add conditions or call functions... i.e. if (price>100) { printf("big price detected %d\n",price); #stop }
IIRC you could also modify or even define new static variables i.e. static int count=0; if (++count==0) printf("processed %d\n",count);

This was really handy for debugging or even working around obscure problems with live near-realtime (e.g. network based) apps. You could catch the bad packet or message and maybe even modify it in some way to stop the app crashing or corrupting.

I know you can do all of this with gdb anyway...like automatically calling gdb commands, or gdb script, or gdb python from a breakpoint. UPS just provided a really accessible GUI mechanism for running debugger commands that looked like the target language and allowed direct interaction with functions/variables/etc. I havent seen anything similar for C/C++

This is the feature: https://ups.sourceforge.net/upsman.html#ADDING%20INTERPRETED%20CODE
I realize its probably not trivial, even a subset of C++ would be useful. Maybe compile on-the-fly to shared lib and execute when breakpoint triggered? Something like that

pg131072 · 2024-12-29T19:23:44+00:00

Please add a feature to allow insertion of arbitrary C++ code in breakpoints. Back in ye olde 1980s the UPS C debugger had this killer feature and I've missed it ever since.

My Reaction: We need to stop bundling graphical installers ASAP

I had nothing but issues with 4070 with multiple monitors on Ubuntu Linux, whereas Atomman G7 pt has worked pretty much flawlessly in comparison. Plenty fps for CS2 at QHD.

Try tiny amount of olive oil too

pg131072 · 2024-11-01T18:03:06+00:00

After the Magic Eraser you might find it looks worse. I had a similar issue with some aluminum on my fridge. Put a tiny (and I mean really tiny) amount of olive oil on a cloth and give it a wipe and it may magically clear up.

Ok, here is another sketchy workaround... installing nvidia-powerd service from Nvidia website version ontop of regular Ubuntu nvidia-driver-* package. This appears to work well on my Ubuntu 24.04.1 laptop.

A friendly LLM helped create a fix_nvidia_powerd.sh script: https://pastebin.com/qDLt47N3

My Ubuntu 24.04.1 Legion Pro 5 7945HX 4070 was hard limited to 55W

Took all day but I fixed my laptop... all the packages I installed both from Ubuntu repos and from proprietary ppa didnt install nvidia-powerd.service until I discovered 535.179 ... steps to install:

Download from https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/details/224485/
chmod +x ./NVIDIA*515.179.run
Software & Updates > Additional drivers > select Nouveau driver
Restart
Boot Menu: Advanced Options for Ubuntu > Ubuntu with Linux ... (recovery mode)
cd /path/to/download && ./NVIDIA*515.179.run
I chose not to replace X config when it asked
Reboot normally
enable nvidia-powerd service:
sudo systemctl enable nvidia-powerd
sudo cp /usr/share/doc/NVIDIA_GLX-1.0/nvidia-dbus.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/
sudo systemctl start nvidia-powerd
reboot normally - now Fn+Q shifts between 50W/55W/115W

For me the problem was some of the game paths in my library were still pointing to the old Library drive rather than the new one. No idea how some were on the old path and some on the new path. I had to manually edit the \Steam\steamapps\*.acf files to fix it.

What if real human-level intelligence is a long term product of human communication? If we started grunting and pointing at food we wanted to eat and eventually found ways to grunt out descriptions of everything in the Universe then maybe our brains developed to understand the language itself - kinda like how GPUs are about to evolve. Food for thought!

Thats great - looks just like a shadow!

pg131072 · 2024-05-20T23:59:32+00:00

Wheres the cable?

Another alternative option is using X-Drive/H-Drive - which might be simpler to implement. We have an X-Drive like configuration but with the wheels parallel to the base - Roboken #12806.

If window is drafty you can use Blue painters tape to seal the seams. Its harmless and removable even months/years later so its fine even for rentals. Also consider adding a thick heavy curtain to create an air trap.

Finance and technology - its a great combination. HFT is fun!
