You could watch two YouTube films at once. (No but seriously 2Mb/s is too low even for just YouTube. YouTube recommends 20Mb/s. And that’s probably assuming 30hz. So you probably actually want at double or more. https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/78358)

There’s no separate computer, it’s all in the monitor!

That’s cool! I’m really interested to know how many tokens per second you can get with a really good U.2. My gut is that it won’t actually be better than the 24VRAM+96RAM cache setup this user already tested with though.

How much do you need? Show your maths. I looked it up online for my post, and the website said 1747GB, which is completely in-line with other models.

Thanks!

Can you link that post?

Running R1 locally isn’t realistic. But you can rent a server and run it privately on someone else’s computer. It costs about 10 per hour to run. You can run it on CPU for a little less. You need about 2TB of RAM.

If you want to run it at home, even quantized in 4 bit, you need 20 4090s. And since you can only have 4 per computer for normal desktop mainboards, that’s 5 whole extra computers too, and you need to figure out networking between them. A more realistic setup is probably running it on CPU, with some layers offloaded to 4 GPUs. In that case you’ll need 4 4090s and 512GB of system RAM. Absolutely not cheap or what most people have, but technically still within the top top top end of what you might have on your home computer. And remember this is still the dumb 4 bit configuration.

Edit: I double-checked and 512GB of RAM is unrealistic. In fact anything higher than 192 is unrealistic. (High-end) AM5 mainboards support up to 256GB, but 64GB RAM sticks are much more expensive than 48GB ones. Most people will probably opt for 48GB or lower sticks. You need a Threadripper to be able to use 512GB. Very unlikely for your home computer, but maybe it makes sense with something else you do professionally. In which case you might also have 8 RAM slots. And such a person might then think it’s reasonable to spend 3000 Euro on RAM. If you spent 15K Euro on your home computer, you might be able to run a reduced version of R1 very slowly.

a similar number of Hamas fighters have been killed during that period, the sources said

Now call me conspiratorial if you want, but I think this messaging is actually a sneaky lie to explain why they’ve killed a quarter million civilians and somewhere around zero combatants.

Show me where the ICC charged Biden

The USA says they will kill everyone who works at the ICC if they charge Biden. I imagine you’re no fan of the ISIL caliph, but you wouldn’t tell him to his face. Biden laps his kill-count during his morning coffee.

It’s not that The Guardian buried a technical detail of the story, the protestors deliberately got close to the BBC offices, because they were protesting the BBC. The BBC is complicit in this genocide, together with The Guardian. The Guardian’s reporting is slightly uninformative in a way that shields the reader from knowing the subject’s opinion on The Guardian’s complicity.

You don’t think it matters that a news outlet is running cover for their ally? A news outlet that themselves forbid their journalists from using the word “genocide” in the context of Israel’s genocide of Palestinians until November 2024?

The user’s library of apps are Windows apps. And Windows does support Linux programs. There are versions of Windows that don’t technically have it enabled by default, but it’s easy to install support. It has a built in command “wsl --install”, and a button in the store and start-menu. And for most users who get a pre-configured image from IT or their laptop manufacturer it’s pre-installed.

I really don’t get this community’s insistence on getting people to use Linux no matter how much destruction they bring. Steam games on Linux are not what anyone has in mind when they say Linux doesn’t have games. Because Linux isn’t binary compatibility, it’s libre software.

In my circles, if someone says “Linux such and such”, we assume they might be referring to their FreeBSD computer as well. Here it seems Linux is more likely to refer to Android. Emulating a sketchy Windows game doesn’t make Linux the better platform for games. The Windows games are always going to be best on Windows, and now your Linux computer has malware on it.

Israel is the poster-child of Rules Based Order. Rules Based Order isn’t international law, it’s the west’s stand-in for, allusion to, international law. So they can’t be held to account when violating international law, and can accuse others of breaking the rules when they haven’t broken international law.

Add “having laws” to the list of things that are scary when socialist countries do it.

The law (…) will compel tech companies (…to) remove content the government regards as “illegal” within 24 hours.

Almost as scummy as the concept of a YouTuber using affiliate links.

It’s his own home. Who do you think made the ghosts to get the property price down?

It only takes 500 dead of that ilk to get far.

The models can’t do anything the inference library doesn’t allow for. So you shouldn’t need to worry about a rogue model if you’re loading it somewhere someone you trust can vouch for. If you’re worried about Ollama, you can monitor its network usage (and block it in your firewall). There shouldn’t be any network activity if you disable auto-update.

It’s not zero, each fiefdom has very little power to keep users. As it is right now, a user unhappy with their instance culture or laws can move to another instance. Comparing it to moving in real life, in real life you have a lifetime worth of things that tie you to your fiefdom. Comparing it to well established and centralised social media, then those fiefdoms still have a lot of power over you.

Your social network can’t come with you, they’re SSO providers, they’re tracking and human-verification providers, they have high quality exclusive content, they’re sometimes the only channel for interacting with some third parties you have to interact with (Government, utility company, etc).
