I’ll just be honest, from my perspective on lemmy everything outside of porn, linux and shitposts is lacking. Interaction outside the top of hot is a wasteland of non-existence, questions go undiscovered, comments are never read. We could all be more generous with upvotes to improve visibility.
For me sfw art communities, sports, and life protips would all be nice to see grow. I miss the old photoshopbattles too, but I think that’s just fallen out of style in general.
This is just talking about games approved through Valve’s verification process. There are a lot of games that work that are “unverified”, not to mention the entire history of gaming available through emulation....
My 10 year old car has 4 wheels, a good engine, comfy seats and bluetooth. Heating and cooling are fantastic. It does not have sensors that shit themselves if you get too close to a road line, does not need to go to the dealership for an authorized computer reset after the oil is changed, and it doesn’t have any “eco” turbos waiting for their seals to leak.
What more can I ask from a vehicle? Maybe I’m getting old and cranky, but everything they’ve added to new cars is useless crap to distract drivers and eventually break.
I tolerate Monaco because it’s been a cornerstone track for F1 since the beginning and “less about the race, more about the spectacle” as they say. Imola doesn’t have the spectacle, and it doesn’t have a competitive race. The cars can only pass reliably on a single corner. They are too long to make it cleanly through the chicanes. Unless the cars shrink, I’d rather F1 not spend another weekend here.
I love Imola because it feels like a “small town” track and has lots of dynamics to it. The elevations, the corners. Classic, tight and pure Italian.
But I’m also a realist, the cars racing today are bigger than ever making overtakes difficult, combined with the gravel traps making every attempt a gamble. The intent of the chicanes isn’t to launch a car over them, but the modern wheelbase seems to demand this approach.
This track only made it back on the calendar because of COVID, and is scheduled to leave next year. It’s sort of sheer luck that F1 even raced at Imola again. Big time treat for the fans, but I feel the cars have unfortunately outgrown it.
As for a recommended race, 2005 San Marino GP is pretty good with a fight between Alonso and Schumacher
Current situation: I’ve got a desktop with 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1st gen Ryzen CPU from 2017, and an AMD RX 6800 XT GPU with 16 GB VRAM. I can 7 - 13b models extremely quickly using ollama with ROCm (19+ tokens/sec). I can run Beyonder 4x7b Q6 at around 3 tokens/second....
I hate to bear the bad news, but as long as the model is too large to fit entirely in VRAM getting 5 t/s on a 8x7b is going to be difficult. You can throw another 16gb RAM in the system which could help with caching and context length, but since the model is still having to juggle data in and out of VRAM the speeds will remain low.
I wouldn’t upgrade the CPU personally, focus on adding beefier GPU. And it’s probably not worth adding the 970 to the mix, the 4GB isn’t providing much room and will likely slow down the 6800 XT more.
There’s so many tools to do it, too. It’s kind of upsetting how many independent devs are investing their time towards removing this garbage instead of literally anything else.
I can independently confirm. My cats definitely know their names, and their ears will perk up when called. But most of the time they can’t be bothered to turn their heads towards the sound, there’s no chance they’ll get up to engage unless they hear a treat bag crinkle with it lol
