SR3 was the top game for me. SR4 was a bit too much, but SR3 felt like it hit that sweet spot of goofiness, insanity, and just enough realism for me to keep me invested in the world

Yeah I played for 2 hours this season, saw that I have to unlock every waypoint and do a lot of the side quests and fortresses and whatnot. On top of having to get back to certain levels so I could actually start playing the game on T3... I kinda just noped outta there

My dad got me into gaming with Heroes of Might and Magic 3. I remember fighting with him and my cousins over the PC at times just so I could play. And to this day, I still play it occasionally. It's actually held up incredibly well, and there's a bunch of qol and content mods that make it even better

What happened? I'm assuming you're speaking from personal experience?

They also banned me for using a modded third party app, so now I can't post or interact on Reddit. Which is honestly perfectly fine with me, since I don't want it support the website by creating content for it anyways

Sorry, just seeing this now- I think with 24gb of vram, the most you can get is a 4bit quantized 30b model, and even then, I think you'd have to limit it to 2-3k of context. Here's a chart for size comparisons: https://postimg.cc/4mxcM3kX

By comparison, with 24gb of vram, I only use half of that to create a batch of 8 768x576 photos. I also sub to mage.space, and I'm pretty sure they're able to handle all of their volume on an A100 and A10G

Nvidia just has been the dominant player in workstation GPUs for so long that it's almost impossible to see AMD catching up. The hardware is one thing, but I don't see AMD closing the gap even if they had a GPU that could perform as well as Nvidia's. Just look at some of the benchmarks on stuff like blender and unreal engine. And that's not to mention all of the work that's gone on for optimizing ML and deep learning models for CUDA.

I won't pretend like I'm any sort of expert on GPUs, but I feel that Intel and AMD need to team up to create some standard software implementation for AI/ML, and then support it instead of just relying on open source (like with Pytorch and ROCm)

So now you have an ex-Twitter account. Or an X account for short.

Maybe Elon was truly 200 IQ with his naming

Am idiot, still use Instacart though because it saves me at least an hour a week (probably closer to two hours after accounting for shopping time and getting ready to leave) for $20, which is worth it to me

I can tell you from experience, there is nothing more distracting than having your manager walk up behind you and tap you on the shoulder while you're working on code. While this problem doesn't go away completely with remote work, at least you have time to compose yourself and bookmark your work before you respond

I have access to Financial Times, and this is what they showed in their article

I use All Debrid, and I can't even connect to the download servers when I turn on Mullvad
