does a sand of all wiches contain itsand?

you should watch them on dropout, they're an absolute menace.

context-switching is expensive, but you are right that 10 seconds may be too long. i just pulled something.

then again they've optimised the size of the machines to the point that a single rack can fit more than 100 blade servers, and a dc can have a thousand racks.

you can tell none of these dumbos have ever consumed any of erika's content. they're just a fucking gremlin. an amazingly talented gremlin but a gremlin nonetheless. i don't understand how you can not love erika.

having jaws that are too strong sucks. i chewed gum for years to be able to focus, and now i have constant headaches, no enamel on my teeth, and wake up with blood in my mouth whenever i forget my guard thing.

i mean, you can just do the math.

my 7900XTX consumes 300W at full load. my 5700X3D uses 95. say 500W for the entire system working at maximum. at 24GB of VRAM, i can run 20b parameter models at varying speeds, on average about 5-10 tokens per second. in the most generous case, then, it takes 110ish seconds at 500W to generate 1024 tokens which is the limit i've configured. that's 15 Wh per prompt, or 70 prompts per kWh, which isn't really possible to do on that machine since each prompt takes more than a minute.

when playing a game, the hardware isn't all maxed out, call it 350W average, which means a bit less than three hours of gaming per kWh.

if we scale all this up, bearing in mind that specialised hardware is more efficient, a prompt that results in 10 seconds of work for a 2kW server, that's 5Wh, which means 200 prompts per kWh. but these things are running constantly, and with 10-second responses you can fit 360 replies per hour, for a total of 1.8kWh per hour, ideally.

so no, those numbers make no sense at all.

besides, the bread isn't in there

[–] lime@feddit.nu 12 points 11 hours ago

was sort of expecting just two slices of bread, but "they're the wrong way round" so that everything is inside.

ignoring the cost question entirely i see

what's your idea?

[–] lime@feddit.nu 16 points 21 hours ago (3 children)

still full of weasel terms like "strictly necessary" and "proportionate". it's the "legitimate interest" loophole again.

this is missing the point, anyway: the main concern isn't how you identify but what requires identification. if your amazing pseudonymous post-quantum ZKP verification service blocks kids from learning about queer gender identity or how to recognise an abusive family relationship because those topics are "adult", i want nothing to do with it.

i got this brainwave yesterday that there may be a dual use in these to stabilise the cardinal grammeters. if the oscillations can be spread out over a larger area than just the catheter, and be finely controlled, maybe such a device can run at the resonant frequency of the field... much to think about.

 

here's a modern (non-functional) replica:

sadly the ivory commutator was missing from the original, and reverse-engineering one from a single photo with no look at the inside of the compensator coupling is basically impossible.

History lesson: Before the discovery of electrochemical 2:3-resonance in 1927, there was no way to drive the encabulation process automatically, and therefore no way to easily tune the asymptote. Because of that, the field was basically entirely theoretical, until the Sachri Reticulator.

Named after a Jean-Baptiste Sachri, a friend (some say lover) of the inventor, the Reticulator allows the operator to finely control the speed of a metal cylinder, in which is carved a groove that, if played in a phonograph, would produce two sine waves rising from 1Hz to 50kHz irregularly, varying in phase shift as they did so. The cylinder was instead "read" by three needles placed diagonally across the groove so that the distance between the outermost needles were 2/3rds of a wavelength out-of-phase with each other. The vibrations were then transferred into three irregularly-shaped plates inside the coupling seen on the image. The plates were then coupled to a 50cm long piece of ivory (the commutator), which held on its other end a seismograph-like drawing needle on a roll of paper. The plates' shapes had to be specially tuned to the composition of the ivory. By running through the frequencies on the cylinder, the operator could, by observing the line on the seismograph paper, find the point where the three vibrations cancelled out, and that is where the local asymptote is.

The Reticulator took the science of encabulation into the real world for the first time. The name of the inventor has been lost to time, but naming such an important device after his dear friend is surely the greatest act of love.

 
 

It's interesting how much of this stuff is just out in the open when you look for it. The big yellow thing is a float, i remember the team working on it had dragged it out of the water with a truck. This pump assembly was on the bottom. I thought it was some king of water quality tester but then i saw the modulator. From the oxidation it's taken quite a beating, i'm guessing they were using the lake water as cooling for some sort of despin resonance operation. You don't want that sort of thing unmodulated on an autonomous platform.

 

There are actually manholes in this thing. and manual controls. They were sending men in there while this thing was powered. Scary.

 

I've not set up a community before, i just want a place to discuss my hobbies. So if anyone has an idea of what needs to be added, i'm all ears.

My initial thoughts are that we probably want a wiki. Both as a quick reference and as a landing page for newbies. Yes, The Bad Site has one, but it's on fandom and i don't really feel like using it or straight up copying from it.

took this while getting a demo, i obviously don't have a gantry crane at home (i wish).

 

This is always good to have around, even though some of these are a bit outdated. remember to cross-check with newer charts whenever impedence drops below a couple of million S.
