Thank you for that explanation. My regex impaired ass thought he wanted to hurt generation[x|y|z].

I’m like “what’d we ever do to you?”

Probably better to ask on [email protected]. Ollama should be able to give you a decent LLM, and RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) will let it reference your dataset.

The only issue is that you asked for a smart model, which usually means a larger one, plus the RAG portion consumes even more memory, which may be more than a typical laptop can handle. Smaller models have a higher tendency to hallucinate - produce incorrect answers.

Short answer - yes, you can do it. It’s just a matter of how much RAM you have available and how long you’re willing to wait for an answer.

I know right? It’s like he and Linus(LTT) are at opposite ends of the spectrum. Long story short, it’s not worth it.

You probably don’t want it

In addition, manufacturers will make a smaller and easier to lose format.

I’m slightly pissed about the shrinkage, but really pissed that they don’t come in packages anymore (at least not where I live). It’s bad enough I have to scan my own groceries, but now I have to scan 8-12 individual eggs in a row. What’s next?

Feeling called out by this. I mean those cars are tasty.

He probably doesn’t mention it because someone might ask him about the SPR. I’m a Democrat, but they really have a shitty record on oil.

Thanks for posting. I’m still new to this and had no idea what settings I should be using.

It’s probably a pain to set up in Windows. In Linux, it just works, there’s nothing to set up. I’m using it right now.

OP really should have mentioned their OS.

Edit: Actually, nevermind both my posts. I know DRI_PRIME works by using my APU for regular desktop activity, and routing discrete GPU output in whenever a game is being played. But I don’t know if it’s possible to make it use the dGPU all the time.

Even if it did, it would only work inside the OS, so if you had to boot into the BIOS for anything, you wouldn’t have a display. So for all intents and purposes, it wouldn’t really work.

I just did a quick bing chat search (“does DRI_PRIME work on systems without a cpu with integrated graphics?”) and it says it will work. I can’t check for you because my CPUs all have graphics.

I CAN tell you that some motherboards will support it (my ASUS does) and some don’t (my MSI).

BTW, I’m talking about Linux. If you’re using Windows, there’s a whole series of hoops you have to jump through. LTT did a video a while back.

I just looked at my Steam stats today and 52% is RT3. There may be plenty of games that surpass it in visuals, but game mechanics are a different story, and without a stock market I don’t see much of a point.

I played Tropico 3-5, but gave up after they refused to give us highways and overpasses.

AMD APUs have Video Coding Engine / Unified Video Decoder, while Intel CPUs have QuickSync. FFMPEG’s hardware page says that AMD support is incomplete.

You may want to ask over in [email protected] . This topic often came up back on Reddit, and the general vibe I got was that most people prefer QuickSync. Intel may not be great in a lot of areas, but they are a beast in video encoding/decoding. That being said, I use a Ryzen APU and it’s perfectly fine. There are way more important things to look at when choosing a CPU.

If your performance is slow, I would check your CPU is listed on the chart I linked above. Not all CPUs support all codecs.

Edit: If your CPU doesn’t support the codec, it will still work, it just won’t be accelerated.

Thanks for posting this. I couldn’t figure out why Steam was broken on my laptop for the last 3 weeks or so. Installing the .deb from the Steam website fixed it. I’m starting to get fed up with Canonical.

I kind of feel the same way. When someone is offering service in exchange for pay, it signals that they’re serious about this and see it as a part time job at least, as opposed to someone just doing it as a hobby or just for a learning experience.

In my search I found 3 that offer multiple services for a single donation/subscription:

• Neat.Computer - Their terms of service weren’t strong enough for me
• Tromsite.com - I didn’t like their Peertube upload policy
• Tchncs.de - The one I ended up joining.

I really wanted a smaller instance, but I just couldn’t find one that I was happy with.

You haven’t heard about wearable servers? C’mon get with the times! I’m headed out for a jog now, gotta keep my hashrate up!

vlemmy disappeared (alternate link) a few weeks ago with out a trace or any explaination. FMHY’s domain was confiscated by the government of Mali.

That’s especially a problem since people absolutely don’t want to see ads, they don’t like the idea of a coin/reward system, and generally don’t contribute (less than 1 out of 20 ppl donate, and that’s being generous)

In addition to what the others have said, we’ve lost some big and popular instances (Vlemmy, FMHY and others) along with the communities they had. Also, with the 2 biggest (lemmy.world and lemmy.ml) coming under attack every week, some users want to be on a smaller instance that’s under the radar.

Finally, people want to choose an instance that fits their interests/beliefs. I chose mine mainly for what they don’t allow and who they’re defederated from, but to each his own.
