That is a very good point. I will set aside some storage and download those models that I think are most at risk from a corporate clean-up action.

Likewise, their hardware has been rock solid and very performant for me. I bought most of my current setup second hand and they've been going strong for years now.

Linus isn't wrong but at the same time NV has shipped more compute than AMD and Intel combined to consumers. The kind of performance I get out of a modest outlay never ceases to amaze me.

There are always torrents, which would seem to be a fine way to distribute models.

Large numbers of people outside of the United States probably do.

Ah, the spherical cow of number bases :) Thanks for the response, that saved me a sleepless night.

I can totally see how ternary would work from a physical implementation perspective but I have a really hard time visualizing anything using base-e, can you explain how such a thing would work in practice?

It is a lot easier to appreciate the light when you're aware of the dark.

Ternary?

I would very much like it if anything that moves with appreciable mass is governed locally just in case the link drops and/or latency suddenly goes up. Motion is very unforgiving and accidents will happen if that's not taken int

The key is to look and act innocent and to throw them some batteries, then when they are concentrating on their food you skip right past. They can smell fear so that's the one thing you shouldn't feel while you're doing all t

You can watermark AI without leaking who did it. That's just using AI to add yet another layer of user tracking.

They can break their own things, not other people's things.

They simply don't seem to realize that they are the threat actor and that they committed a pretty serious felony. Instead they're borderline 'surprise bragging' about it.

Good enough, France, the Nordics and many other countries besides have done well.

Because he planned to make the data public, Meta just wants to use it to enrich its shareholders. See also: Google, OpenAI, Anthropic and every other big player in this space besides.

For every person that uses forth for something even a little bit more elaborate rolling your own is a rite of passage. I highly recommend it because it will get rid of the 'turtles all the way down' feeling that typical modern day

You're going to need some kind of PCI switch or bus bifurcation card and a way to house those cards.

Between 20 and 50 depending on context length. Power consumption between 900 and 1500 W for the whole machine.

Thank you, interesting info! I think the Sparks are an interesting platform, the power consumption / memory bandwidth / memory amount trade-off is completely different from the regular cards and it will take a while for the softwa

PC BIOS was mostly just for DOS and bringup, it also helped in moving stuff across the barrier during 32 bit boot but afterwards the only thing you would normally use it for is to call hardware specific ROMs for instance for mode changes an

It's much better than 512, it fits in 336 bytes iirc.

I'm having a really hard time doing on twin DGX spark what I could do on my quad 3090 rig (which is a scaled down version of what I was using before, the power requirements and the noise were really an issue but I loved the speed and t
