  • Oh, sorry, I misunderstood. I thought you had a PC at your workplace, that you were remoting into it from home.

  • Nvidia is fine on Linux, as long as you stick to the official binary drivers.

    If your work PC currently works, maybe get something similar?

  • Stepping up from Tinkercad but to what?

  • Onshape? Its free for most normal 3d printing stuff, and if you get used to it, its pretty similar to the big boy AutoCAD if you need to use that later..

  • Hoptal :(

  • Try going through with a cute moustache, maybe thats the right combo

  • Would you use a self-hosted, AI-powered search engine for your favorite sites?

  • I didn't say you can't have a GPU, but to me, its wasteful. I keep my jellyfin server off when not in use, and use WoL to start it when its needed.

    I have played with local LLMs, and the models I used were unimpressive, but without knowing what the OP has in mind, we cant know how much power it will use. If it just spins up the GPU once a day for 20 minutes, probably okay, you won't even notice it. But anyone like me who doesn't already have a GPU in their lab will probably notice it quite clearly on their power bill.

    A megacorps server farm is huge, but its also amortised over millions of users, they probably don't need 1-1 GPU to customers, so the efficiency isnt necessarily bad. (Although at the moment, given megacorps are tripping over themselves to throw compute at LLM training, this may not be true)

  • Idle is low power, not zero power. And it won't be idle when its scraping and parsing the sites, so depending on how much scraping its doing, it could be significant non-idle energy usage.

  • What products should be produced locally?

    Jump

  • Of course, but even still, those areas are usually ex-natural forests, so the more paper that can be reclaiming via recycling, the less demand for clearing the natural forests. And its probably less energy intensive to recycle than to start from scratch.

  • Would you use a self-hosted, AI-powered search engine for your favorite sites?

    Jump

  • Yeah, absolutely. And running a GPU 24/7 to occasionally search is just a waste of power. I'm not convinced that google and bings AI search makes financial sense either, Google dropped live search (where the results updated as you typed realtime) because it was too expensive, how does LLM search end up cheaper than live search?!

    Edit: This is the live search thing: https://searchengineland.com/test-google-updating-search-results-as-you-type-49116 ~~Annoyingly hard to find, and I can't find the articles on its cancellation, but from memory it was related to expense. ~~

    Edit2: Google Instant Search, and the death was blamed on mobile, and wanting to unify the mobile/desktop experience. I do vaguely remember expense being an unofficial/rumored reason, but I can't back that up.

  • Would you use a self-hosted, AI-powered search engine for your favorite sites?

  • I personally have zero interest in AI search, if you mean LLM. The fact that it can make stuff up, also means it can miss stuff as well. Neither are acceptable for a search engine.

    If you mean some kind of deterministic algorithm for indexing and searching, then maybe.

    Also, attempting to crawl sites locally sounds like a great way to get banned from those sites for looking like a bot.

  • What products should be produced locally?

    Jump

  • Hopefully with more recycling than new forests, but otherwise that sounds about right. Guess it really depends what we consider as local. Suburb level, probably not viable, but state level, definitely.

  • What products should be produced locally?

    Jump

  • Is it easy to produce? Isnt it a lot of treatment steps between tree (or recycled) and usable paper roll? Definitely not requiring overseas shipping, but its also not something easily done down in the shed?

  • What SDLC Paradigm Did You Use in Your Project?

    Jump

  • My company does a mix of scrum and kanban, but its all pretty loose. I suspect its actually very rare to find any of those development models being followed strictly, once you leave uni you'll end up doing whatever the company/team you join does.

  • That is very weird, especially as it was renewed in 2024.
