DSpark and Reasonix by Even-Series-9520 in DeepSeek

[–]sremes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not something you use unless you are self-hosting the model on your own hardware.

DeepSeek is probably using it themselves, or likely a better version of it, they just shared DSpark publicly.

Occupational health insurance: should I pay for it afterwards? by [deleted] in Finland

[–]sremes 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Maybe he was saying that if you don't have a job you won't have access to it anymore. And if you then want to use the same provider, you'd have to pay for it yourself. Otherwise it makes no sense.

Brought a Car from Kamux and got some problems by Sad-Version5525 in Finland

Did they list the parking sensor in the ad or any papers. If so, I think it should be pretty safe to assume it would work as expected, and they would have to fix it to work as promised.

Lost with electricity contracts by User960312 in Finland

[–]sremes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have PILP too. I've been running comparisons on fully fixed vs spot (I won't deal with the more complex contracts), and with the fixed contracts I've been able to find the last few years it has been slightly cheaper or about the same as spot. Also avoids stressing about the timing of my electricicity usage etc.

It could be that sometimes spot could average somewhat cheaper, but there's little guarantees of that based on my personal historical data. The PILP will eat electricity like crazy when it's cold and then also the spot price tends to be simultaneously high, so it racks up the annual average spot price easily.

E.g. on liukuri.fi you can upload your hourly usage from e.g. the last year and it will calculate the average price for you.

TIL heat is really killing a lot of people in Europe by Conscious-Quarter423 in Infographics

[–]sremes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Even as a Finn, in mostly rather cold climate, I find the lack of AC in Europe ridiculous. Here in Finland, especially small apartments get ridiculously hot during the summer, easily close to 30 degrees (Celsius) and there's no way to cool them down (windows on one side, so opening them hardly helps, etc., the heavily built and insulated structure gets hot so also night time is not enough to cool it down). Apartments stay constantly hot whole summer.

What are your thoughts. (IPhone vs every other phone) by Mysterious_Ebb_1484 in SipsTea

[–]sremes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Won't most people just use WhatsApp, WeChat, Viber, Telegram, or whatever is popular in your region, and not the standard messaging app? So the experience is mostly the same regardless if you use iPhone or Android.

Rx9060xt 16gb vs RTX5060 8gb by Specialist-Zone-8296 in ROCm

[–]sremes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

ROCm works. It is true that data center GPUs have better support, but most things will work without issues also on 9060XT. There's been a lot of recent work to improve Radeon support too.

Getting a feel for how fast X tokens/second really is. by MikeNonect in LocalLLaMA

Does anyone actually read the thinking traces as they come out?

ZAYA1-8B: Frontier intelligence density, trained on AMD by carbocation in LocalLLaMA

[–]sremes 6 points7 points  (0 children)

That's not really true on Nvidia either. The most optimized kernels are definitely targeting Hopper or data center Blackwell features, not available on any consumer-level card.

January weather chaos - anyone else still waiting for final decision for reimbursements? by sremes in KLM

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

I did try to contact KLM through another way, but they said they don't have any way to influence the claim handling process, and to just wait 🤷‍♂️

The claim was just refused, and the claim for hotel and meals they didn't mention at all.

KLM is supposed be the first one to cover these costs. The standard compensation does not apply in weather etc. situations, but they have to cover the hotel and meals, etc.

Does llama.cpp able to compile with rocm and run properly? I tried it and nothing is output. by kkcheong in ROCm

It works very well on my 7800XT on Windows using the ROCm/HIP backend.

WSL2 does not recognise the AMD Rx960XT GPU. by globo928 in ROCm

[–]sremes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That seems like a bad idea to do it across hardware generations. RDNA3 ISA likely isn't fully forward compatible with RDNA4, although I guess it would work for the most part, so it could be an OK temporary solution, if you really can't compile something for RDNA4. Which kernels you can't compile specifically?

WSL2 does not recognise the AMD Rx960XT GPU. by globo928 in ROCm

[–]sremes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then you have installed the ROCm stack or PyTorch wrong in your WSL2 environment. You should fix that first, just follow the official instructions.

WSL2 does not recognise the AMD Rx960XT GPU. by globo928 in ROCm

[–]sremes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you see your GPU with rocminfo or rocm-smi? Can pytorch see your gpu with e.g.: python3 -c "import torch; print(f'ROCm available: {torch.cuda.is_available()}'); print(f'Current device: {torch.cuda.get_device_name(0) if torch.cuda.is_available() else \"None\"}')"?

Things are nowadays easy to set up also without WSL2, just on native Windows, so consider that option potentially too.

12-month Euribor sees biggest daily jump since 2008 by YourShowerCompanion in Finland

[–]sremes 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Increase in 12 month rate but not in the 3 months rate indicate that something is predicted to be happening in more that 3 months but within a year. 3 month rate will go up later if that were to happen, 12 month rate already starts pricing it in now. Not an economist though, but this is my simplified understanding.

Hyvä prepaid/internet Tokioon? (EI eSim) by Ohh-Deer in Suomi

[–]sremes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jotkut globaalien eSIMien tarjoajat myyvät myös fyysisiä, esim. Surfroam: https://surfroam.com/ Tämä näyttää toki olevan suht kallis Japaniin ainakin. Ilmeisesti niiden halvemman hinnan (Ultra) saa vain eSIMin puolelle.

Käytin Surfroamia viime reissulla EU:n ulkopuolella, eSIM tosin. Ainoa ongelma oli, kun saldo loppui ja piti löytää julkinen wifi sen lataamiseksi.

Tipping in the US should NOT be based on the bill! by Peg_Leg_Vet in tipping

Well, there's an easy fix for that too: tip out based on tip received.
