Missed a good joke but I'll let it pass.

I'd love to hear one right now.

Nah, the moment passed. And like, sooooo offensive. Gotta behave.

Better you didn't say it out loud then

Won't that be expensive?

Yeah, That would be more than I could afford but a man can dream.

If you have a PC at home, you could always use that!
Or use CPU only processing!

Yeh but with power costs....

Its much better here in India.

Yeah, it's insanity over here.

BTW, @Saragoldfarb on your way to work with Carolyn right now?

Both here. I might pay her to post so I can sleep.

LOL! The best way to get caught.

For me, it's 05:00 when it goes live lmao

Around 9AM Dec 13 for me

Nice

I am guessing you won't be able to attend it live then. It was around the same time the chef arrived this year as well

Nope. I won't be watching it live

Yah, would be too early for you given its a weekday

Yeah. And even if it would be during the weekend, I would still not watch it live. Way too early for me

How about if it was at a time elater in the day?

Better

Unfortunately, it's not.

Ohw no!

I need the sleep to stay sane

Don't we all? The past few days I went crazy and now I realise how bad it is. I am constantly tired and sleepy for the past 2 days or so

Take a nap. It works wonders for your body and soul!

I need long undisturbed sleep to feel better and refreshed.

Taking a swim also works.

I am thinking something similar to what Runpod does. Maybe something that can also be rented at an hourly rate.

That's better.

Yah, do you have experience using it?

Not much but one of the guys I work with has.

I've got to get a few more VPS and Shared Hosting accounts. I'm really wishing RackNerd had a dedicated box with GPU for setting up an LLM and API. Love RackNerd's servers I have been using for a few years now.

Hey, welcome to the RackNerd BF thread. Good to have you here. And yes, even I'd love RackNerd to have GPU VPS. I'd love to have some for AI training and learning.

Who wouldn't?

Exactly. My favourite provider bringing a really in-demand service.

Scale way?

Or use CPU only processing!

I have personally been using CPU only for training a TTS model, and it isn't as slow as I'd imagined but having watched videos of people doing it with GPUs and the speed at which they complete, I am convinced GPU is much better. Moreover, there are processed which would even deny processing without a GPU

I see

Seems ralf is interested in that as well.

He like that. He proper smart though.

LOL! True. But, there's no regulation stopping it. Infact, some countries have taken stringent measures. I guess it was some SEA country that crushed GPUs with a road roller to teach miners a lesson a few years ago.

I've done that. Mostly use colab pro account currently for training and generating. I need to explore more services like runpod. CPU is just too slow. I do have some neural network scripts that run fine on raspberry Pi.

How, I love raspberries pies!

Never had one, but, would love to.

Delicious.

You making a TTS model? Cool!
Also, why not use Google Colab for training of the models?

That's a good suggestion.

Can't trust Google with raw voice data as I mentioned to Bas.

Yeah, true like I said, can keep them from using it.

Not actually sure about having raw voice data online. Actually, I learned about this only recently, and naturally, I got curious.

Hourly billing!

Yah, sites like Runpod enable you to choose machines with a particular GPU depending on your use purpose and run your code on there for an hourly rate. For additional payment, you also get persistent storage, unlike colab

I use it at times.

How much do you generally spend on a monthly basis?

A whole lot of money probably. Not sure but it adds up.
