    So I'm just wrapping up a few things before bed and I noticed

    https://youtube.com/watch?v=RIdOHTCVS9c

    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?

    Hmm. Maybe. Probably around 10 AM or later would be better for me

    I understand.

    So do I

    Unfortunately, the time for that is set.

    Too bad, I'll live though.

    Yah, you definitely will. You sirvived meteors.

    @c1t1zen said: I'm really wishing RackNerd had a dedicated box with GPU for setting up an LLM and API.

    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! :neutral:

    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

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

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

    So gloooooooriouuuuus!

    As long as it stays there though :lol:

    True :)

    Don't trust them, even if I had that subscription that prevented them from using my data.

    Do you want to share any info on that? It's something I'd like to look at myself, but training a model on my voice.

    What information do you need? I will help. Gives me a chance to return many of you a favour, given I have learned a lot from you.

    Following as well...

    I am. Or I was, just not that quick in posting.

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

    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.

    Yah, that's for sure.

    Yeah! Tho gpu's are still a bit expensive imo. But that's just in general, not specific to runpod

    I believe Runpod instances with GPUs can be rented at less than $3 an hour. Not sure how the prices are gonna change with GPU inflation though.

    Going up I'm afraid. But not too soon.

    Yah, experts say 2026 is the year for that.

    Yeah gonna be a massacre!

  • Anyways, gotta go. I will catch up with the previous comments later. Sadly, I might just have to necro yet again :(

    Very, very late!

    Yah, just realised timezones are cruel. How about we just cancel timezone culture? :lol:

    I second the motion.

    For safe measure, I am gonna 3rd to 404th it.

    Wow, just realised USPS has implemented end to end tracking now. So, international parcels don't stop tracking as soon as they leave US. BTW, @PuDLeZ and @DaDeveloper, got your backpacks yet?

    Woah! This one looks badass! I believe this is the newer model. This one would double as a rider backpack and adventurer as well. I will be receiving mine in a week or so, I guess. Once it reaches, I will share an image as well

    I also won a mug giveaway which was shipped at the same time. Originally it was supposed to be here yesterday (along with the backpack). It arrived at the same time as the backpack, departed the first post office at the same time, but then for that I have

    Oh, I see. Usually, he couples the packages. I guess you won these on different days, I mean the difference between days was more than a week or so.
    BTW, how's the bag? I am loving the new model's design.

    You just never know with international shipping could also be due to different package size.

    No, pudlez is in the USA. Mine would be international

    Not that's a fluffy guy!

    That is my definition of fluffy. Don't you find sea lions to be cute?

    Yes, unless they're clubbed. Then they just messy.

    Confused, we talking about the backpack and the mug now or the sealion? :lol:

    Sealion. I'd think it's gets rather bloody when clubbed.

    BTW, how's the bag? I am loving the new model's design.

    Yeah, I kind of wanted to say they could be bundled together but I assume processing free orders and the fact I gave the mug details way before the backpack, it will probably be more of a hassle to combine them. Oh well, I will continue to use my current racknerd mug and random ones :) The backpack feels really good and like there's some serious quality to it! I'm planning on switching stuff out of my old backpack tomorrow, probably during lunch so it will be ready to go if I need to leave the house. I do plan on putting the chromebook in it too, at least for a week or two as I recall activity picks up around christmas and then new years. It was actually nice to have one device dedicated to the thread this year! I mean, tapping refresh on one machine while I do other things is nice than finding the proper tab/window/etc.

    Hey Pudlez. Yah, combining both might have saved some money but you are right maybe they were sent separately cause one of them is fragile.
    I did try having two devices one for posting and the other for work last year, but, it didn't work out for me since then I have done both on the same device and have grown pretty comfortable with it as well.
    Presently, I am eagerly waiting for my backpack as well. When I tracked yesterday, I could see it has reached India. But, USPS tracking sometimes is ambiguous once it reaches india, as usually the tracking gets offloaded to India post once it enters India. And india post tracking at the time is not giving me exact details. Will prolly have the backpack next week or so. I just hope it doesn't attract any unjust customs duties

    Maybe also because one is fragile to handle other isn't.

    Yah I mentioned that in a later comment.

    Sorry missed that amongst all quality conversay going on.

    Understandable.

    Yeah, it's hard to keep up. Doing what I can.

It was actually nice to have one device dedicated to the thread this year! I mean, tapping refresh on one machine while I do other things is nice than finding the proper tab/window/etc.

    Hey Pudlez. Yah, combining both might have saved some money but you are right maybe they were sent separately cause one of them is fragile.
    I did try having two devices one for posting and the other for work last year, but, it didn't work out for me since then I have done both on the same device and have grown pretty comfortable with it as well.
    Presently, I am eagerly waiting for my backpack as well. When I tracked yesterday, I could see it has reached India. But, USPS tracking sometimes is ambiguous once it reaches india, as usually the tracking gets offloaded to India post once it enters India. And india post tracking at the time is not giving me exact details. Will prolly have the backpack next week or so. I just hope it doesn't attract any unjust customs duties

    Maybe also because one is fragile to handle other isn't.

    Yah I mentioned that in a later comment.

    Sorry missed that amongst all quality conversay going on.

    Understandable.

    Yeah, it's hard to keep up. Doing what I can.

    Ok, I can see that.

    Hey Pudlez of you are still online I'll be back in a few minutes

    Hiya

    Hey Sara, how are you doing?

    Feeling awake. Very good. It's amazing how much work I get done when others are doing it for me.

    Outsourcing now? Or, are we talking about the intern Carolyn? She seems nice :lol:

    Yes. She's a mean machine.

    Ooh, maybe I shouldn't have judged just by the name. My bad.

    Others are off. Dunno what they're doing.

    Now, I am confused. If others are off, who's doing your work for you?
