I found a good deal on a used GTX1060 6GB, which I could use for some basic inference in my homelab.

Or I could splurt on a 4060Ti 16GB which would go to my desktop, and my current 2060 would go to my homelab.

Decisions, decisions

main advantage of approach 1 is I won't spend much money, but I will buy a rather obsolete GPU.

main advantage of approach 2 is that I will have two quite modern GPUs that should handle more stuff in the upcoming years, but that will be a lot of money

@JLW_the_Jobber that is a very good point, thanks!

Need to buy a case of cheap beer, but feels strange to plan to buy the cheapest beer you can find early in the morning, on bicycle. (it's for slugs in the garden, LOL).

@ai6yr I was curious how one can fight slugs with beer, and I found this epic work of cinematography https://www.gardenmyths.com/how-to-get-rid-slugs-with-beer/

@ai6yr I think it depends on the walls of the container. I suspect that if the walls were higher and provided less grip, the slugs would not be able to get out so easily

@ai6yr ...or you can make them a nice ladder, and hope it will be the hangover that defeats them

I've started reading about the Raspberry Pi AI kit, and about Hoarder, a self-hosted app that supports local inferencing with llama3, and again I feel the urge to go back to learning the reasonable part of AI.

Because yes, I believe that are some reasonable uses for AI despite all that absurd hype that is everywhere.

Like for example what Frigate is doing, image recognition for CCTV. Or Hoarder's functionality of automatically tagging bookmarks.

Maybe leave the "AI" naming for that hype stuff, and go back to the good old "Machine Learning" term for the reasonable, actually useful part?

@mechanlou depends on the usecase

@mechanlou for example using AI to generate spammy click-bait articles to flood the internet

Raspberry Pi just launched their $70 AI Kit with the Hailo-8L NPU. I tested it and used it to build a custom 51 TOPS CoPilot+ PC—without Windows! Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HgIMJbN0DS0

@geerlingguy not related to the topic of the video, but can you share the model of that desk tripod? Thanks <3

I am back to listening to Deathmole (https://deathmole.bandcamp.com/album/permanence-2)

It's a virtual band playing instrumental metal, created by Jeph Jacques, the writer of https://www.questionablecontent.net/

And I love QC, I've been reading it every day since 2009.

@NJohnM Thanks. I'm still waiting for Universe to come back, I hope it's not the end for them
