I’m telling Chicago style!

I’ve been trying to talk my fiance into moving because I found out that one of the guys my high school sweetheart ex cheated on me with frequents my favorite coffee shop.

I’m considering a coastal swap.

Yeah that’s covered in the book and podcast.

Not in crazy detail but it is there already within academia.

The idea is that whatever hyper dense state of energy caused our big bang has caused others.

I’m just a tech guy so I can’t explain it with justice, but I heavily recommend at least scrubbing that podcast for when they talk about almost exactly what you described!

A Microsoft glazing botnet leveraging copilot and all of r/linuxsucks training data to shitpost on Lemmy made by a developer who took a Janatorial job at Microsoft to “get his foot in the door” during an internal hackathon he was accidentally invited to.

Damn it! Another book for the list!

I have a book on my to read list that delves into all the ideas about the “big bang” and how a lot of scientists are convinced that there were are and will be more “big bangs”

It’s called “Battle of the Big Bangs”

I learned it from Alex O’Connor’s “Within Reason” podcast episode 115

I was SHOCKED how well Fedora and Bazzite handled my 5060 after a month of fighting to get it going on pop os.

And Ollama is free and better if you really need AI stuff.

Life hack: Move to the other side of the state.

My Comrade in Lenin, I was on Bazzite

I fucking ran out of memory yesterday playing Oblivion Remastered with 5 Firefox tabs open.

32GB ddr4 3600 kit!

I’m fucking upgrading next week!

Probably

Then if web apps count then my proxmox instance

If not then floatplane.com

I’m a Linus shill, but I’m also a Craft Computing, LevelOneTechs, and Jeff Geerling shill.

From what I understand its not as fast as a consumer Nvdia card but but close.

And you can have much more “Vram” because they do unified memory. I think the max is 75% of total system memory goes to the GPU. So a top spec Mac mini M4 Pro with 48GB of Ram would have 32gb dedicated to GPU/NPU tasks for $2000

Compare that to JUST a 5090 32GB for $2000 MSRP and its pretty compelling.

$200 and its the 64GB model with 2x 4090’s amounts of Vram.

Its certainly better than the AMD AI experience and its the best price for getting into AI stuff so says nerds with more money and experience than me.

Honestly if you’re not gaming or playing with new hardware, there is absolutely no point.

I’ve considered swapping this computer over to Fedora for a hot minute, but it really is a gaming PC and I should stop trying to break it.

True, but I have an addiction and that’s buying stuff to cope with all the drawbacks of late stage capitalism.

I am but a consumer who must be given reasons to consume.

The Lenovo Thinkcentre M715q were $400 total after upgrades. I fortunately had 3 32 GB kits of ram from my work’s e-waste bin but if I had to add those it would probably be $550 ish The rack was $120 from 52pi I bought 2 extra 10in shelves for $25 each the Pi cluster rack was also $50 (shit I thought it was $20. Not worth) Patch Panel was $20 There’s a UPS that was $80 And the switch was $80

So in total I spent $800 on this set up

To fully replicate from scratch you would need to spend $160 on raspberry pis and probably $20 on cables

So $1000 theoratically

The PIs were honestly because I had them.

I think I’d rather use them for something else like robotics or a Birdnet pi.

But the pi rack was like $20 and hilarious.

The objectively correct answer for more compute is more mini PCs though. And I’m really thinking about the Mac Mini option for AI.

I’ve only seen the episode with Toby Turner in it and it has made me a worse person.
