I’m new to the field of large language models (LLMs) and I’m really interested in learning how to train and use my own models for qualitative analysis.

No offense intended, but are you sure it’s using your GPU? Twenty minutes is about how long my CPU-locked instance takes to run some 70B parameter models.
On my RTX 3060, I generally get responses in seconds.
Good luck! I’m definitely willing to spend a few minutes offering advice/double checking some configuration settings if things go awry again. Let me know how things go. :-)
I think there was a special process to get Nvidia working in WSL. Let me check… (I’m running natively on Linux, so my experience doing it with WSL is limited.)
docs.nvidia.com/cuda/wsl-user-guide/index.html - I’m sure you’ve followed this already, but according to this, it looks like you don’t want to install the Nvidia drivers, and only want to install the cuda-toolkit metapackage. I’d follow the instructions from that link closely.
You may also run into performance issues within WSL due to the virtual machine overhead.
AFAICT, mastodon's decisions, which are arguably problematic (on which see: https://lemmy.ml/post/14973403) are literally trickling down to other platforms and infecting how they federate with each other as they dance around mastodon's quirks in different ways.
It seems like masto is ruining "the standard" with its gravity.
I was reflecting on this myself the other day. For all my criticisms of Zuckerberg/Meta (which are very valid), they really didn’t have to release anything concerning LLaMA. They’re practically the only reason we have viable open source weights/models and an engine.
I’m looking for an easy way to upload files from my Android smartphone to my home server. is there a - ideally dockerized - solution for that? Some simple web GUI where I can click on “Upload” and the files will be saved to a certain directory on my home server?...
Hello, for a few days I have been looking at how to make a git repository to store a free font so that everyone can use it, modify it and redistribute it, the thing is that many have different ways of distributing the source code, and it is not very clear how. Do it in a way that is similar to an open source program. The...
I’m not familiar with creating fonts specifically, but you’ll want to commit any resources necessary to recreate the font file, including any build scripts to help ease the process and instructions specifying compatible versions of tooling (FontForge in this case). Don’t include FontForge in the repository, of course.
The compiled font files should be under releases in GitHub for the repository.
Git isn’t generally meant for binary resources but as long as they’re not too large, they’ll be fine. You just may not have meaningful ways to compare changes easily.
Systemd was created to allow parallel initialization, which other init systems lacked. If you want proof that one processor core is slower than one + n, you don’t need to compare init systems to do that.
Dell has been really good about shipping Dev versions of their XPS lineup which include Ubuntu by default instead of Windows. However, the new 2024 14" and 16" don’t show it as an option. Did they stop offering linux dev versions?
I’ve been disappointed in general with the XPS line in recent years. Dell has made some keyboard changes that I am not a fan of:
A touch bar instead of function keys? Why? Did they not learn from Apple’s mistake?
Changing Fn + Left to Page Down instead Home? And Fn + Right to Page Up instead of End? Once again, why?
I’ve been purchasing the XPS line of laptops since 2013, but I stopped as soon as those changes landed and the Developer Edition of their laptops shipped with inferior hardware compared to the Windows ones.
I tried to take hourly snapshots of an already-large Minecraft world using Git, but after a few years of snapshots, the repository became corrupted.
One of the issues was that regardless of any player-based changes that occurred, the spawn regions were always different as they were always loaded in memory.
