The advancements in this space have moved so fast, it’s hard to extract a predictive model on where we’ll end up and how fast it’ll get there.

Meta releasing LLaMA produced a ton of innovation from open source that showed you could run models that were nearly the same level as ChatGPT with less parameters, on smaller and smaller hardware. At the same time, almost every large company you can think of has prioritized integrating generative AI as a high strategic priority with blank cheque budgets. Whole industries (also deeply funded) are popping up around solving the context window memory deficiencies, prompt stuffing for better steerability, better summarization and embedding of your personal or corporate data.

We’re going to see LLM tech everywhere in everything, even if it makes no sense and becomes annoying. After a few years, maybe it’ll seem normal to have a conversation with your shoes?

I’m not sure either, Win 10/11 are pretty quick to get going and Ubuntu is not much longer than that. If I have to hard reset the mbp for work, it’s a nice block of slacker time :)

Halls of Torment. $5 game on steam that is like a Vampire Survivors clone, but with more rpg elements to it.

These are amazing. Dell, Lenovo and I think HP made these tiny things and they were so much easier to get than Pi’s during the shortage. Plus they’re incredibly fast in comparison.

I’m on lemmy.world and the sidebar shows 401 subscribers. Is that just a sub count from the local instance or global?

Also not sure how that would be helpful. If every prompt needs to rip through those tokens first, before predicting a response, it’ll be stupid slow. Even now with llama.cpp, it’s annoying when it pauses to do the context window shuffle thing.

Same. I loved the idea of what VE does but playing the game was just a confusing mess for me. I stick to the same 8 mods I always use.

I hear good things about Traefik. Basically all I need is a reverse proxy that will handle re-writing URLs and websockets and slapping some ssl and auth on it. If something is easier for that, I’m all ears.

Thanks for making the community! I see quite a few here that have RSS bots posting, so it’s possible.

Yep, I’m using an RTX2070 for that right now. The LLMs are just executing on CPU.

Do you recommend this email provider? Lots of people looking to get off gmail lately.

Are you running your own mail server? I only ever integrated Spamassassin with postfix.

Stable Diffusion (Stability AI version), text-generation-webui (WizardLM), a text embedder service with Spacy, Bert and a bunch of sentence-transformer models, PiHole, Octoprint, Elasticsearch/Kibana for my IoT stuff, Jellyfin, Sonarr, FTB Minecraft (customized pack), a few personal apps I wrote myself (todo lists), SMB file shares, qBittorrent and Transmission (one dedicated to Sonarr)… Probably a ton of other stuff I’m forgetting.

The nest is really high up, had to take the shot without looking. I got a few but this was the best one.

Yup, mostly running pretrained models for text embedding and some generative stuff. No real fine tuning.

Yup, typically we get into it after upgrading an older PC or something and instead of selling the parts, just turn it into a server. You can also find all sorts of cheap/good stuff on ebay from office off-lease.

Wow, a reply I made in another community ended up under this one. Yeah I’m doing a lot of work on local models and text embedding models for vector search.

I hate these filthy neutrals…

Looks like the original base is suffering from some toxic fallout… might be a while. Enjoy building a new colony here!
