LETO DNI AKTA O UI: ZAKAJ SO NAŠE PRAVICE ŠE VEDNO NA UDARU?
Danes mineva eno leto, odkar je akt o umetni inteligenci postal zakon EU.
A v času, ko se pripravlja njegova polna uveljavitev, si EU in nekatere države članice že prizadevajo rahljati težko priborjene zaščitne ukrepe.
Kaj je na kocki in kako lahko obranimo svoje pravice pred represijo in nadzorom s podporo umetne inteligence? ➡️ danesjenovdan.si/leto-dni-akta…

US labour market suffered sharp slowdown over past three months
From Financial Times. View the full context on memeorandum.memeorandum
Scene at a Safeway in Windermere, Edmonton, after a group of four people filled their carts with what staff estimate was at least $1,500 in groceries and left without paying.
They look like Gyppos to me.
TO BILK. To cheat. Let us bilk the rattling cove; let us cheat the hackney coachman of his fare. Cant. Bilking a coachman, a box-keeper, and a poor whore, were formerly, among men of the town, thought gallant actions.
A selection from Francis Grose’s “Dictionary Of The Vulgar Tongue” (1785)

Running Deepseek R1 671b fully locally on a $2000 EPYC server. Idle wattage is just 60w while with 260w under load.
This setup runs a 671B model in Q4 quantization at 3-4 TPS, running a Q8 would need something beefier. To run a 671B model in the original Q8 at 6-8 TPS you'd need a dual socket EPYC server motherboard with 768GB of RAM.
The idea that LLMs use an inordinate amount of power to run is very much outdated at this point.

i try to avoid using LLMs (i fail sometimes) but i'd probably prod a completely local model i picked myself much more often
when i tried to mess with them on my desktop pc like a year-ish ago, i couldn't get anything remotely worthwhile going on my 8gb 3060ti lol.
what sort of model(s) are you able to run?
So far Ive run a few of the gemma ones and deepseek via Ollama.
All perform much better than the intel Orin development board I got. The only really issue Ive had with some of them is diskspace but other wise they run as fast as any online one.
Oof!
Keep 'em coming
