Last I heard, there was a community effort designing an 8xPCIe4 (yes, that’s a thing) Occulink adaptor, love to hear if anyone’s got any info on it.

That said, M2 <-> Occulink adaptors abound, so, with some pretty trivial hacking this could support 2xeGPUs!

I put the fires out.

You made them worse.

Worse…, or better.

Love me some Zim.

Nice to see tech jesus here (getting this right?), normally in my rss feed…

Keen.

Line must go up…

And a few people will get extremely rich by siphoning off a percent or two, circle of life baby /s

rclone supports lots of services

including Proton Drive …

Agreed, and the chance of it backfiring on them is indeed pleasingly high. If the compute moat for initial training gets lower (e.g. trinary/binary models) or distributed training (Hivemind etc) takes off, or both, or something new, all bets are off.

Oh hell no to subscribing, thought didn’t cross my mind. Save us from MBAs with revenue streams on their mind, wannabe rentiers.

They’re talking about a Trackball mouse e.g., not the pre laser mice (or they’re nuts). Good ergonomics, useful for carpal tunnel etc.

FWIW I’ve found their high-end mice pretty robust, my MX Master 2 is still going strong 5+ years in, if cosmetically challenged. Amortised over time, the price is not so bad.

Please let local, open equivalents be available (see LocalAI for an example of not being far off) before this. The sheer scale of data harvesting this will enable boggles the mind.

Ditto on the hate, technical, but important distinction here, they support open-weight ML. They do not release training source code or data sets to actually make your own (granted you’d need millions in video cards to do it, but still). Open-source gets thrown around a lot in AI, presumably virtue signalling, but precious few walk the walk.

Never underestimate the value of getting hordes of unpaid workers to refine your product. (See also React, others)

does rclone not work?

I heartily approve, without much help to offer. Points of thought…

-Calibre web server good, mirror Annas Archive best, practically somehow getting everyone’s downloaded books into a community Calibre would rock.

• You’re going to need a bigger NAS (Jaws pun, but seriously, this will be at least / more important than your server, redundancy is king)
• Probably something lighter / easier too maintain than Nextcloud for simple filesharing, Seafile perhaps?
• Honestly, this is the sort of initiative that could drive local Mesh adoption.
• What security are you using, most govs/corps don’t like private internets, how vulnerable are you to CSAM etc.

I’m aware of a fair amount of local sneaker net approaches (HDD swapping etc), which mostly avoids the security issues. I too would love to hear about successful use cases.

Route it through a vpn with gluetun and it does…

Line must go up thinking, plus cherry-picking metrics. There are better things to chase than GDP.

I have read some headline

Really.

You, and we, are better off for it.

The issue is that it’s been forgot (Remember the 5th of November)

No.

seems your link has been Lemmy’d (is that a thing now?)

Shake the 8 ball : Signs point to no…
