If it can't fit down a highway or requires a crane to install you're not going to save much money when compared to labor is my understanding.

If it was known to be optimal I think people would pay a lot of money for that. If you were given access to a matchmaking oracle who could tell you who the absolute perfect love of your life is in exchange for $10,000 (they offer financing)

After owning LG, GE, and Samsung appliances, I am now an LG fanboy.

Don't you incur the cross-CCD latency every time you hit the 3D L3 cache anyways? Still, that's good info., I must have missed that part where they are doing their CCD layout like that.

7950X3D is $43.75 per core. The 24 core Threadripper part is $62.50 per core. It's certainly a higher price, but imo it's not outrageous for more memory channels, registered ECC, and more PCIE lanes. The motherboards on the other

Depends on how memory bandwidth constrained you are with eight channels of DDR5. Keep in mind also that the DDR5 on these can also clock higher than EPYC parts, so the gap between Threadripper's 8 channels and EPYC's 12 channels i

Some other comments mentioned lower frequency of EPYC, but I'll add another point, the motherboards on EPYC are built for a datacenter environment where you run very loud fans and shove a crap ton of air through the system. Threadrippe

I would be very surprised if Ryzen goes for 32 cores, 24 is more probable. If they do go for that many cores, it will likely be "Zen 5C" cores, which may or may not be competitive with Threadripper being full Zen 4 cores. Regardle

Oooh, nice find. Now to find some 5200MHz (or more) Unbuffered ECC dimms...

by bick_nyers 3y ago
I use ECC on my X570 and B550 ASRock boards, they have allowed unbuffered ECC for a while. Kind of a shame they don't have a mini-itx/matx X670E board (only ASUS does).

I think you are misunderstanding just a bit. You can certainly fine-tune/train LLAMA for a specific use case. Just grab LLAMA 7B and start training, that will fit on plenty of devices and you can even quantize the weights and make it r

Tiled/stacked approach as others mention is good, and probably the best approach. Could also try doing an uncompressed format (even just .png uncompressed) or something simple like RLE then 7zip them together since 7zip is the only arc

Thank you for your service, breaking the NVIDIA monopoly on AI will only be possible from the efforts of people such as yourself. May I ask, why isn't AMD providing GPUs beyond RDNA 2/3 for you? Is it just because that is consider

Would love it if some of these kinds of ECE courses made their way into the OMSCS program. What I really want is a course on information theory.

To me this seems a very similar argument to when Google/Wikipedia were gaining relevance. Many IT professionals agree that most of their job is knowing how to Google things. Sure they need to know how to read manuals, forum posts, find

Didn't mean to give the impression that I'm worried about USB-C cables that are power only, that is indeed an imaginary problem. It's moreso things like PD, is it 480Mbits or is it 5Gbit or is it 10 or 20 or 40. What's t

Also, having a portable M2 enclosure that you plug into USB-C that can transfer a terabyte in less than 10 minutes is pretty cool.

Is there a way I can check if a particular cable or company on say Amazon or AliExpress is certified? Obviously those that aren't certified will say they are certified, so if there's like a database of USB-C certifications somewhe

I would love it if it was economical/possible for repair shops to do "dumb swaps" where they cut out all the "smart" bullshit and give you physical buttons and knobs on your dash.
