If you need an LLM on your home server, sure. If not, there are much more sensible home server options based on Intel’s N100 or Microsoft’s SQ3 chipsets.

Yeah I do need the LLM.

Currently running 2 old Tesla M40's for 48GB of VRAM.

While cheaper than this it has its limitations. Running a 200B model locally is very attractive though. Excited for the future.

Could this be an artifact of how we measure cancer? My own grandfather probably had cancer when he died, but so much else wasn’t working that I think the docs just didn’t bother testing for cancer or diagnosing it. Treatment would not improve his prognosis at that point.

I’ve heard from medical student, that at later age cancer is less risky due to slower overall metabolism. Not a fertile environment for cancer to grow.

Medical students often miss the fine nuances, I would know, I used to be one.

Cancer at a later age, like at 85, is "less risky", because you'll be likely to die of something else than the cancer before you're 90 anyway.

Cancer at a later age, like 60, is "less risky" because your body have had plenty of time to grow indolent and lazy cancers by then, and your immune system is winding down, letting them bloom up a bit.

Cancer at like 30, while many are treatable nowadays, is usually bad news as why are you having cancer at 30 of your genes aren't massively prone to spawn cancer or you had some environmental exposure to serious mutagens.

But even in the older age categories there's plenty of really nasty cancers that lead to ugly deaths, which is why I don't like generalizations like this.

I assumed this was to make GPUs more affordable for users with gaming use cases in mind.

In a way... I can actually see this as fair. What's the difference between the 4090 rtx and the 6000 ada? 5x the price for 2x the memory? Ridiculous. But then you have to factor in all the R&D dollars Nvidia poured into their compute/non-graphics ecosystem which now easily eclipses the gaming one, probably by a factor of 10 or more, and suddenly it doesn't seem so ridiculous. You either a) don't get 4090 level of a graphics card anymore... or b) you do get it, but only if it's nerfed for non-graphics uses... Nvidia wants its big R&D bucks back (and then some) and its gonna get em

No, it is to make GPUs more expensive for users with professional use cases in mind.

I think you can presign PutObject calls that validate a particular SHA-256 checksum. An API endpoint, e.g. in a Lambda, can effectively enforce this rule. It unfortunately won’t work on multipart uploads except on individual parts.

The hash of multipart uploads is simply the hash of all the part hashes. I've been able to replicate it.

But in order to do that you need to already know the contents of the file.

I suppose you could have some API to request a signed url for a certain hash, but that starts getting complicated, especially if you need support for multi-part uploads, which you probably do.

Unfortunately, last I checked, the list of headers you're allowed to enforce for pre-signing does not include the hash.

While that is true on iOS, macOS has no such restriction on Firefox or Chrome.

Is that not the human experience? I have no “agency” over the next thought to pop into my head. I “feel” like I can choose where to focus attention, but that too is a predictable outcome arising from the integration of my embryology, memories, and recently reinforced behaviors. “I” am merely an observer of my own mental state.

But that is an uncomfortable idea for most people.

If this was true, you could lay back relaxed and watch where your brain takes you. But we experience life as a never ending stream of choices, usually between what's easy and what's right, and pursuing the right choice takes a constant effort. We are presented with problems and have to figure out solutions on our own, with no guarantees of success.

This "I'm just an observer" idea may be true at some higher level, if you're a monk on the threshold of nirvana, but for common folk this mindset leads nowhere.

The „making choices“ could just be an illusion where it’s already clear from the inputs what you’re going to do. You rejecting determinism could already be determined and you couldn’t even choose to believe it. That’s not falsifiable of course, but your point doesn’t really contradict the idea of determinism due to the possibility.

> pursuing the right choice

I don't agree with this framing. A person's opinion of what a "good" or "right" outcome is is one of the inputs to the algorithm.

When you decide to put in less effort it's affecting the algorithm because the weight of the high-effort outcome is reduced.

Or, as Mistress Weatherwx put it,

The trouble is, you see, that if you do know Right from Wrong you can't choose Wrong. You just can't do it and live.

Sapolsky wrote a 500 page rebuttal to this idea in Determined.

It is quite a convincing book and maybe even a dangerous book in a sense.

While technically true, the difference is that we don't know in details how that process works and we can't predict it.

There is not much of a difference in considering it deterministic or not, because we can't determine it.

> and we can't predict it

Has there been a serious effort to, using something that might be capable of doing so, like neural nets?

Note that this suit is a patent claim, not the trademark or copyright claim one might expect from visual similarity.

I understand 60 Hz being “a deal breaker” for gaming and VR applications, but on a battery-constrained mobile phone that I carry everywhere? No thanks. I’d rather have more battery life or less weight in my pocket. 60 Hz is more than adequate.

Isn't the difference minimal, particularly with LTPO that can go down to 1hz? Of course this is assuming you aren't gaming at 120hz but rather doing more casual tasks.

All docking ports at ISS are occupied, and the two additional astronauts need to eat. The crew will need supplies before next year.

You can now have the best of both worlds using something like HTMX or Hotwire Turbo. SPA-like navigation with fast page loads, partial updates, streaming updates, but also HTML on the wire and minimal (client-side) JavaScript.

You can't have offline apps in this way though
