I had some black and white photos of my passed-away tuxedo cat, fully expecting this to produce a terrible result, but instead I was blown away by accurate and subtle colors added. Pinkish nose, ears, green eyes all came out of the photo.
It's not even just about the slots, it's about the PCIe lanes (which is something I never had to worry until now, though I built countless PCs in the past).
We tried bunch of setups with Threadrippers and EPYC, at the end settled for the ROMED8-2T which is a monster motherboard.
We run 4x 2080s on threadripper systems. What sort of trouble did you run into? I thought threadripper has plenty of PCIe lanes. We didn't have any trouble but it could be I missed something, we had to get it working quick and I didn't do very much benchmarking.
Threadrippers are great and I had 4x Threadripper setup for the longest time, but they are a bit more expensive.
The advantage of EPYC is that because it's so common, we can find used cheaper ones on ebay. They are a bit slower I believe, but we can deal with that by using Nvidia's DALI and decoding images on the GPU rather than CPU.
Ohh I hadn't thought of there being cheaper ones on ebay. That's a good tip, I'll check it out for our next upgrade.
We're doing photogrammetry not machine learning, running some blackbox software that scaled best with clock speed so threadrippers were the most efficient option.
I put them in 4U supermicro boxes with a noctua cooler with 2 9000RPM delta fans attached to it with rip ties.
I just built a rig with a Romed8-2T as well. I got pcie 3 16x risers and zip-tied them above the tower into a rack shelf above it. It's super ghetto, and I can't believe it works, but it totally does. I'm hosting on vast.ai hoping someone will train with my 4-6 3090s, but everyone wants their large language models and image generation models that require more than the 24GB of RAM. shrug
Maybe some day I'll use it myself to train my plastic surgery outcome estimation visualization GAN or diffusion model if I can figure out how to fine-tune one.
Agreed. They say this is for explorers and adventure, but it seems like I’d be out of charge after the first segment of a backpacking trip. Need a map of an area for the return or the next day? Good luck.
It's not a huge deal. When I go on multi-day backpacking trips, I carry battery packs and/or solar chargers with me anyway, because I need to be able to charge my phone.
I know they came out with an LTE-enabled Forerunner 945 late in its cycle. I don’t know if they’ll add similar functionality to other models, but that’s one watch with that feature.
Personally that device never interested me because:
1) if I can rely on cell phone signal, I’m likely doing a quick and simple hike where I don’t have to worry about draining my cell phone battery in the first place, or
2) if I can’t rely on cell phone signal (much more likely), which is especially likely in the US wilderness, then if I’m doing something precarious in a remote setting I’ll have to bring a beacon and satellite communicator anyway. Like an InReach Mini.
The fact that Garmin is releasing even higher end watches without cell phone connectivity likely indicates there’s not a lot of people buying nearly $1k fitness watches finding that functionality compelling.
Obviously people doing this are likely too narrow a segment for Apple. Like, why would Apple care that I’m not buying their watch? I was just engaged by their headline marketing for this watch until I saw the specs.
If I'm doing some kind of outdoor activity, then I'm likely already carrying batteries for other things. I don't think it's the huge barrier most people here think it is. I guess if you're into ultra-light then yeah maybe it isn't the target market for you - but then why would you be carrying a huge watch in the first place rather than something light?
I mean, I tend to agree. FWIW, most people who do UL Backpacking use a smartphone for maps and a UL battery. I've taken my Apple Watch backpacking with me before, and keeping it charged wasn't a thing. Just one extra (short) cable to bring, I'd put it on the battery during dinner and camp setup.
The thing is though, I've only found it really useful if I'm doing stiff ascents and am not comfortable with my training. Mostly just to keep an eye on my heartrate, if my training/preparations are adequate for my trip, I don't use it at all.
Garmin Fenix cannot replace a phone, but has better battery life. The Apple Watch Ultra can do most of the things you'd need your iPhone for out on a trip.
If you are really UL, you can ditch the phone and just use the Ultra. Apple Watch + small battery is lighter than a Fenix + iPhone + battery.
He’s not performing well at work and you found out without any extra surveillance. I mean you didn’t even need to find his freelance gig, it seems irrelevant to what you should do.
No it doesn't? I'm on Chrome right now and cannot pop out vimeo videos. Youtube appears to have a "pseudo" pop-out that I suspect is their own js-driven miniplayer thing. Just a fancy change to the DOM. You can't resize, drag the video around, or watch it from other tabs or with chrome unfocused/minimized.
> You can't resize, drag the video around, or watch from other tabs or with chrome unfocused/minimized
Umm...you can do all of those things. You might have to right click the video twice to get the picture-in-picture option (to get around the contextual menu of many video players including YouTube) or you can use the official extension that you click to popout whatever video is on the webpage.
My spouse (medicine) and several of my peers (journalism) have and they would disagree. Spouse has experienced both sides of the coin, and has seen better benefits and better pay in the unionized workplace than the non-unionized one. Very much the same story for my journo peers, but in their case, they unionized the workplace so the only variable that changed to improve their lifestyle was the introduction of a union -- not a change of location or management that a bad-faith FANG-worshipper would use to muddy the comparison.
I'm sure those aren't valid examples anyway, as the only unions that matter in discussions on this hellsite are the ones that also exist in Randian works of fiction.
You are only considering one side of the question -- and actually a limited form of that one side (namely, the material benefits/pay for the unionized employees).
What about the productivity of the firm and workers? The profits? The cohesiveness of the market strategy? The sense that the workers were participating in the success of the firm itself (and not the success of the union)? The creation of healthy relationships between management and labor?
It's probably beyond dispute that unions introduce a "middleman" between management and labor, but we are probably arguing about whether or not that middleman is (most often) a good or bad thing. (I do not dispute that sometimes unions can be healthy and might align its incentives with company success, but I tend to believe that this middleman is not usually a good thing except in extremely unhealthy companies -- perhaps like Amazon, and I must confess that in working with about 50 companies, of which less than 10 were union shops, I've never actually seen a union shop where labor didn't put union goals over company goals, to the detriment of both.)
> Another problem is people don't know any better. It's not like the average person has owned cars from all the major brands for enough time for things to go wrong with them. Most people own only a few cars over their entire life. I think this is particularly true with brands like VW. People just don't know any better and think it's normal for a car to be a money pit.
This is odd coming from a person who is making a sweeping judgment based on owning one car. My family and I have owned mk4, mk5, and mk6 VWs. Never had to bring any of them in for anything other than standard maintenance. I have a newish BMW now and my folks have a lightly used Mercedes. So far everyone's happy there too.
VWs also have a pretty corporate, standard chassis of parts that's reused across almost all of VW's and much of Audi's cars. There should always be cheap parts available from third parties given the number of models interchanging the same parts under the hood. BMWs (and probably Mercedes too) definitely are more expensive to repair and maintain. IMO they tend to over-engineer, and that comes with both good and bad consequences.
Ads create a twisted profit incentive that counters what Telegram wants to be, even if Telegram only pursues a privacy-friendly ads experience at first. Sell functionality, storage, customization, or digital assets. I know Discord doesn't _just_ make money off of these things, but that revenue stream is a compatible option for Telegram.
