Comment on Cheap options(?) to run local AI models in ~comp
ZarK Link ParentThe problem is that the VRAM of the GPU is the limiting factor on how large models you can run. The cheapest GPU with enough VRAM for all models available currently is the RTX 4060 Ti with 16 GB....The problem is that the VRAM of the GPU is the limiting factor on how large models you can run. The cheapest GPU with enough VRAM for all models available currently is the RTX 4060 Ti with 16 GB. So regardless of performance you’ll be limited in what results you can achieve if you don’t have enough VRAM.
Now, if you’re only after image generation and Stable Diffusion specifically, you’ll probably get away with 8GB VRAM for now (and a very simple way to run it locally is though https://easydiffusion.github.io/).

Will be available as a pure luxury for Tesla owners first, probably combined with improved summon / parking that can control car port and park / charge / pick you up on itself.

Since around 2011, I’ve received steadfast notifications and reports two times a year about some chimney on a residential address in Denmark. It’s doing well. My attempts at contacting the sender (some Danish chimney sweeper) and a person about the misaddressation has not bore any fruits so far.

It was mostly just a thing parents of classes had agreed on so that children would go home for dinner with family even if it was at a different time.
Also, some homes were the popular ones because they had a pc or Nintendo or large playground, so it would be very unbalanced who would always had to serve dinners.
Not a norm, depended on the circumstance and distance to home and frequency of visit etc. Usually, the family that didn’t serve dinner did it out of respect for my parents so that I would eat dinner with my family. Sometimes we called and asked if it was ok that I ate with the friends instead, and if ok then that family would always share food.

His total expenditure for a month is around $90 for a landline phone, $30 for animal food and $20 for other food stuff; $140 in total, which he earns by training and shoing horses from time to time.

It was just a little underwhelming coming from Boston Dynamics.

The most exciting thing was the quality of the voices used. -

On older models I never had any problem buying any ram of the same spec, I never checked compatibility lists. On newer models I had lots of issues with reboots and warnings, and ended up just buying official ram from Synology. It’s insanely expensive though. I like to think I was just unlucky.
I’ve never understood the confusion about the Hyperloop. It’s just a cool-looking concept that could theoretically be possible at some time, but hardly ever cheap. That Musk gave away all plans instead of building it himself was always a clear indication that it wasn’t a viable business strategy for now and hardly ever. I’ve no idea why all those companies tried to do something with it.
I think people put way too much evil conspiracy behind these kind of actions from Musk. In my view, he simply didn’t like the bullet train concept and thought there could be a more futuristic solution available, and created / launched the Hyperloop concept because he thought it was cooler than a train.
