My uneducated guess says, not much. For running massive models you still need a ton of high-bandwidth interconnects between many individual chips/GPUs/etc since you need to do math across a few TB worth of weights. That's sim

I'm not who you responded to and I don't have any info on Google. Nor can I explain in detail due to NDAs. But multiple major players are working on something along the lines of what the parent is alluding to. The "edge"

How is “all RAM sold in consumer PCs must be registered ECC” equivalent to age verification laws? I’m not saying I agree with the premise but that is a bit of a leap

> ECC DIMMs are available only for the memory speeds guaranteed to work by the manufacturers of CPUs, like Intel and AMD, e.g. for up to DDR5-5600 in UDIMMs or DDR5-6400 in RDIMMs. This is not true[1]. These DIMMs are not guaranteed to w

There are absolutely fast DDR5 ECC DIMMs[1]. Just break out your wallet (and piggy bank, and rainy day fund, and..) The main reason there aren’t more options here is that a) high-frequency memory usually isn’t sufficiently stable, unless bi

I’ve been running a Supermicro X10SLH-LN6TF as my router, and it’s very well suited for the job. Power use is very high for a home router, but reasonable for a 1U router - especially considering the era it’s from and its capabilities (routi

In ~300k km worth of diy oil changes, I’ve yet to change a crush washer, and yet to have a drain plug leak. I always replace them on friends’ Toyotas, because they seem more important, but on every car I’ve owned it hasn’t mattered. And if

I’ve tested this recently (this post week). Had a dns entry up and pointing to an nginx server for ~12 hours, zero requests. 17 seconds after the letsencrypt cert was issued, the floodgates opened. Over a dozen of requests per second.

I agree. I ran mid 16s in 8th grade, and was in the 14s in high school, with the only training being whatever we did in gym class. But I do also look at the sheer number of overweight kids these days and figured, well maybe mid-16s is actua

I’ve mentioned this as an option in other discussions, but if you don’t care that much about tok/sec, 4x Xeon E7-8890 v4s with 1TB of DDR3 in a supermicro X10QBi will run a 397b model for <$2k (probably closer to $1500). Power use
