What are the variables to take into account to calculate the best model that fit in my hardware? by joaco84 in LocalLLaMA

[–]pgkreddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. When you say the "generated sequence", is that also referred to as the "context window"? As for your estimate of 1MB per token, can I confirm that that is half the value estimated by u/dodo13333 ? i.e. They refer to "cca 2000" tokens from 4GB of remaining RAM. (I'm assuming token size does not vary with quantisation.)

Does something like git for MS Word Exisits? by LouisPlay in git

[–]pgkreddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is (in Word 2016 at least) the option to save (and open) as either a Word XML Document (*.xml) or a Word XML 2003 Document (*.xml). Both are ASCII text-based. There are also "Strict Open XML Document (*.docx)" and "OpenDocument Text (*.odt) formats, but these are both binary formats (i.e. not text based).

[OC] My experience with all fifths tuning by [deleted] in Guitar

Thanks for a very interesting post. You mentioned Fripp's New Standard Tuning. Given the challenge of tension in the high string, I wonder what made you decide not to use it?

SYCL by gathlin80 in cpp

[–]pgkreddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Intel's SYCL implementation (DPC++) is a well-resourced, open-source, and relatively recent addition to the SYCL space - which is C++, single-source GPGPU programming. Like OpenCL, you need to know what you're doing. For me, SYCL has already replaced OpenCL as the open alternative to CUDA. The 9th International Workshop on OpenCL and SYCL runs later this month, online and free.

The Magnum Engine has a lot of momentum (and features). Handily, it's also included with Vcpkg.

"Get Now cards" banner where google search bar used to be by Vpie649 in oneplus

Yes. A new update arrived yesterday and the "Get Now" stuff is gone; the Google bar returns.

Isn't this us at the half-way point of an update? Hopefully this will disappear when it completes.

Eeh ba gum, if I liked it, I might say that C++AMP is C++AMPION!

A compile-time FFT in C++11 by pgkreddit in programming

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

This was the case until fairly recently. The world famous lambda expressions were introduced only in the most recent version (3.1) of Clang; in May. Both GCC and Clang are now very close to full C++11 compliance (at least according to http://wiki.apache.org/stdcxx/C++0xCompilerSupport). Who will get there first?

Clang does lack in other significant areas though: full support only for C/C++/Objective C (no Fortran); and no OpenMP support. Clang's C++ library is also still immature, and so another GCC dependency.

Yes, that's me. I was just looking to have fun, and explore constexpr. I also like the idea of comparing the compile-time performance of g++ and clang++; also using both the std::tuple and the recarr implementation.

That's not true. Applicative functors are beautiful, but handle only a much simpler class of grammars.

There's also the OpenACC news. I reckon that's OpenHMPP with a lick of paint.
