Not really, I did consider some mining, just to see what the fuss was but probably wouldn't even break even.

Oh and also side mounted a 4GB 750Ti for graphics, and/or whisper use, parallel to the mainboard. Airflow from the front fans to back is unimpeded by anything in this way.

Took off the bezels, compressed 4 into a block, had a rigid bifurcation card link GPUs 1 and 3 on top, another underneath the block do 2 and 4. Then I fitted my own custom 40x40x30 fan shroud for 2x6000 rpm fans at one end. The other 2 I di

It was AliExpress, during sales, earlier this year, with discounts from playing games. I typically used to see much higher eBay prices. A bit of hyperbole tbh, not everyone has the patience to do this but I was honest that this is what I go

It typically runs 120W idling, and 450W peak. Not great power efficiency wise, but I have a Cron midnight shutdown and and S5 bios event powering it up on a morning (I could use wake on Lan but didn't see the point).

It's minimal kind of speed but for the price I feel it's quite good. Smaller models fly as you'd expect, but the fact it can load these mid range models into something that is dirt cheap is generally a win imho.

No mention of the venerable Tesla P4. 75W peak, 8GB VRAM, about $80 (£60). I have 6x P4s, a Xeon E5 2696v3 (36 threads, 3.8ghz peak but all core turbo unlocked, so 6 cores at 3.8Ghz - about 8 cores at 3.5ghz, or all cores at 3.1ghz), 48GB D

I don't know tbh, I run Qwen 3.6 27B, Q6, on two 5060TIs with 128K context (2 parallel, 256K total) and get better fairly good performance. It's not perfect, but that's why I also use a low quant Gemma 4 validation model to c

And a number of Qwen variants are available to self host. Do Anthropic have any like that?

You may want to consider using a feature flag API if you think it will be unmaintainable. Strategy patterns and code-centralised feature management ftw :)

We used to flip display upside down in display options, which also reverses the mouse. We'd then lock the PC and disconnect the keyboard. After they figured out the keyboard had been pulled they often couldn't work out why their s

I've only an A-Level in Further Maths from 1997, but understand complex numbers and have come across complex inverse trig functions before. My takeaway for other people like me from this is "computer is correct" because the p

Also, cheaper... X99 + 8x DDR4 + 2696V4 + 4x Tesla P4s running on llama.cpp. Total cost about $500 including case and a 650W PSU, excluding RAM. Running TDP about 200W non peak 550W peak (everything slammed, but I've never seen it and

Won't happen. They'll buy the next indie game studio that is successful, chew on their profits, then tank that, rinse repeat.

A lot of apologists say that "a human would have hit that". That's kind of irrelevant, this technology is meant to be safer and held to a higher standard. Comparing to a human is not a valid excuse...

Well you're wrong on all accounts of the veiled insults. Also, I've not stated LGBT, this has nothing to do with it, it's weird you'd even mention it.

I imagine it might be limited by number of layers and you'll get diminishing returns as well at some point caused by network latency.

The irony of this is that Gen-Z have been mollycoddled with praise by their parents and modern life, we give medals for participation, or runners up prizes for losing. We tell people when they've failed at something they did their best

Can somebody please break this down for me so I can see what benefit WB gets from this? I can only see mostly negatives - Winning means taking away the ability for fans to spread viral / subliminal advertising for WB via the art they c

Amazing. Until I read this article I didn't properly understand Fourier transforms (I didn't know how image compression bitmaps were derived), now it's opened a whole new world - toying with my own compression and anything th

I miss the days of Sun Solaris' CDE desktop. Afterstep looks too much like Stardock's Window Blinds from around 2000 (see the weird glass effect, font etc), but Etolie seems to nail the aesthetic for me. I hope this comes back, I&

It's running RDP to a Winboat docker image hosting the app and rendering the container on the desktop. This includes audio forwarding.

Oh this I can get behind, it's my pet hate, especially when the rental is taken away. Some slogans used to say "to buy and keep". - Why would you buy it and not keep it? The word "Keep" is clearly used to manipulate

This is a misconception, we absolutely do know how LLMs work, that's how we can write them and publish research papers. The idea we don't is tabloid journalism, it's simply because the output is (usually) randomised - taken t

I think that might have been an own goal on that link. The comment on the article sums it up nicely. Also can you trust the data source - a government body that wants to enact more control? If there's independent studies great, especia
