For LLMs it entirely depends on what size models you want to use and how fast you want it to run. Since there’s diminishing returns to increasing model sizes, i.e. a 14B model isn’t twice as good as a 7B model, the best bang for the buck will be achieved with the smallest model you think has acceptable quality. And if you think generation speeds of around 1 token/second are acceptable, you’ll probably get more value for money using partial offloading.

If your answer is “I don’t know what models I want to run” then a second-hand RTX3090 is probably your best bet. If you want to run larger models, building a rig with multiple (used) RTX3090 is probably still the cheapest way to do it.

Hopefully, yes. But I’m sure MS and some hardware manufacturers salivate at the thought of being able to create a completely locked down computer platform. I own neither, but aren’t both iPhone and Playstation users locked into the manufacturers’ respective stores? Those seems to be perfectly legal in the EU.

Kan ju också tillägga att EU har lagstadgat om ersättning vid försening av flyg, ifall det inte är allmänt känt. Flygbolagen kan ju förstås göra sitt bästa för att inte betala ut något men det finns ingen anledning att skämmas för att försöka få tillbaka lite pengar. Vet ju att många svenska gärna undviker konflikter så det är nog många företag som kommer undan med allt för mkt :) Finns iaf mer info om vad som gäller för flyg t.ex. här: https://www.hallakonsument.se/varor-och-tjanster-process/dina-rattigheter-vid-forsenat-flyg/

I bought Ryobi, only a cordless drill (18v brushless) and lawn trimmer, a long time ago and I’ve always disliked them. Wanted to replace them with something like Makita/Metabo/DeWalt, but in the end it felt unnecessary to spend that much money for something I only use a few times per year, even if projects become more fun if you have tools you like.

I was researching which line of power tools to buy a while ago… Many said Parkside was very good value for money, and a good buy for anyone who only used their tools infrequently.

What kind of issues do they have? I’ve used gtx970, 1080, rtx3080 and now 3090 and I’ve never had any issues worth mentioning.

För ett par decennier sedan, innan alla hade smartphones och internet, så kände jag en pundare som ringde nummerupplysningen för hjälp att koka ägg. Det numret kostade ca 10kr/minuten att ringa vill jag minnas, för er som inte var med på den tiden

And CLion’s new UI… and Cura slicer… and discord with default settings… and most websites… it seems to be a cornerstone of “modern” UI design, and personally I hate it too.

I read that too, but I suspect that it’s going to be a major update to the Index with a price tag to match. And if course it might take quite some time before it’s finally released, as say…

Personally I’d be happy with a minor upgrade (resolution primarily) for a lower price and sooner, if that was an option

When I first heard of the Somnium it sounded like perfect specs on paper, but when I saw the price… oof… Pimax Crystal Light has a much more attractive price, but from what I’ve read it seems to have horrible quality control and that it requires buggy proprietary software, which might mean it’ll never work on Linux.

Hope Valve could make an Index v1.5 which just has updated screens with slightly higher res and keep the the ~€1000 price for a full kit. But with the electronics shortage and inflation which happened since the Index was released it might not be possible.

Expansionen du beskriver låter rätt dyr att genomföra, en så pass stor lokal i Stockholm lär ju knappast vara gratis att hyra. Och jag tror om det skulle vara huvudsakligen inriktat till vuxna som tycker signal- och biljettsystem är intressant blir det nog inte några enorma intäkter :)

Men det där med ljudnivån kanske skulle gå att lösa på något sätt, har du provat att maila museet om det?

Kunde inte släppa det helt så jag grävde lite mer… Inte AI-genererat enligt gptzero, däremot verkar det vara en bot som kopierar artiklar från andra sajter. T.ex. ser https://lemmy.world/post/17536906 ut att vara snodd från https://www.metalsucks.net/2024/07/12/the-rick-and-morty-anime-announced-for-this-august-looks-trippy-as-hell/ och här är orginal-posten om surfning i Sverige: https://beachgrit.com/video/surfing-sweden-weird-waves-dylan-graves/ .Kanske blir lite mer sammanhängande ifall man kollar på den tillhörande videon.

Kollar man på användares post-historik så är det bara mer av samma. URL:en är alltid <ett genererat ord>.pages.dev/<namnet på lemmy-communityn>/<artikelns rubrik> och kollar man några slumpmässiga kommentarer den har fått så klagar folk på att artiklarna saknar info eller är otydliga. Jag gissar på någon sorts spam-bot

Thanks for the tip, but I asked a while ago and they gave me a weird look and said they weren’t interested in any old games. They don’t sell any second hand stuff, and I suppose they rather sell something new to people instead of helping people find new owners. I did however bring all of my unpainted minis to a games convention a few years ago and traded them for other games. They didn’t want rules / starter boxes or magazines though, I think that’s more difficult to sell.

Melast paid for shipping so all the old WDs are on their way to their new home though :) I still have the Citadel Miniatures 1994 catalogue if anyone is interested, but it’s mostly black and white photos of unpainted minis and it weights 750g. I.e. a bit expensive to mail and probably not very interesting for most people unless they’re collectors

With reservation for typos, the issues I want to get rid of are 175, 178-199, 201-203, 208, 209, 211, 212, 217… Which ought to add up to 31 in total. I put them in a sturdy box on the bathroom scale and it said 8.6kg and looked up what it would cost to send them on postnord.se: 245 SEK within Sweden, €58 within EU, €63 rest of Europe, €105 rest of the world. Maybe DHL or UPS could be cheaper, dunno if anyone thinks its worth it.

WDs do not include any miniatures which originally came with them btw, but I noticed that at least one issue has some kind of cardboard buildings and tokens inserts that were intact. There’s also a 1994 Citadel Miniatures catalogue in very good condition, but it’s thick a.f. and heavy

That’s what it feels like, but realistically I know that I hoard too much stuff and would probably never read them again, and if I do get the urge to feel nostalgic I think one or two issues will be enough to keep :) If postage turns out to be too much for any interested parties here, perhaps I’ll ask the local gaming stores if anyone there wants them.

Didn’t even know they were printed in more languages than English, but yes they are. A little bit of wear from being read, but not too bad. I checked Ebay briefly but selling them individually seems too much work for what it’s worth for me, so I’m happy to give them away if someone else will enjoy them. I’ll check the issue numbers and weigh the stack tomorrow to see how much it would cost to send them somewhere

It’s a functional programming language, so you have to think quite differently when using it if you’re used to imperative programming languages (e.g. C++, Java, Python, Basic). I learned it at uni and it was quite fun, but I wouldn’t know how to write a larger project in it.

Nikki and the Robots, it’s written in Haskell

I initially wrote 100, but when starting to look through my Steam library I realized how few games had that few reviews. All the indie games I thought might be borderline unknown turned out to have 5k+ reviews.
