i feel like "woke" has lost all its meaning to me

azure lynx

red is just a saturated pink.

flat uni theory

olive sable
#

im red-green colourblind

#

so red is just pink

azure lynx
#

both colors are on the spectrum. don't worry.

split steppe
#

pink is not a color

olive sable
#

why not?

azure lynx
#

it's not a pure spectral color

#

but it's a color

Purple is a NOT-GREEN.

azure lynx
#

literally the electromagnetic spectrum but if the colors were people, they'd be pretty focused

olive sable
#

oh

#

unintentional comedy

split steppe
#

na pink is just diluted red

mighty bane
azure lynx
#

pink is red + white (and white is all the (light) colors mixed together)

mighty bane
#

Unlike purple.

wouldnt you like to know weather boy

azure lynx

not going to dox anyone, but joshua is the most common name in the US.

or possibly michael. it depends on the year

(for boys anyway... )

split steppe
#

the name just picks whatever it feels like being, every year

azure lynx
#

but the name doesn't refer to you. checkmate.

split steppe
#

not from the us, check your mate neuroNOWAYING

#

don't have to be. the name i n the bible doesn't actually refer to you. so your existence isn't proven.

I've actually done that test on a laptop with 8GB RAM

#

tall people have bigger eyes, so more light enters their eyes, so they can see better in the dark

#

but the image is less sharp

#

so short people see in 4K

azure lynx
#

the reason tall people can see better in the dark is because their eyes can pick up longer wavelengths.

#

like infrared.

olive sable
#

that shouldnt matter since the cones in the eyes pick up very litle to no infrared

azure lynx
#

if the person was larger in every way (including at the atomic level) it would work

olive sable
#

what?

#

explain it to me

azure lynx
#

larger antennae can pick up longer wavelengths.

#

the optin in the cones in your eye would respond to lower frequency light coz they're bigger now

#

makes as much sense as saying tall people can see better in the dark.

olive sable
#

humans only see 380nm to 750nm
thats cuz IR doesn't have enough energy to trigger the chemical reation in our cones.

azure lynx
#

i was being silly. short people don't have higher resolution eyes either.

olive sable
#

well

#

slightly

#

not the res, the sharpness

sage crag
#

cell size remain uniform across height

olive sable
#

i think they're doing a hypothetical

azure lynx
#

and larger eyes would increase sharpness too

olive sable
tender river
#

if you're over 3 meters tall you can see microwaves

sage crag
#

lens size does have an impact on visual clarity though

olive sable
sage crag
#

and having more space for the focus to be adjusted allows better range of distances, though you'd probably be long sighted compared to a regular sized human

azure lynx
#

the larger the aperture, the higher the resolving power.

sage crag
olive sable
azure lynx
#

i remember reading that Legolas in lord of the rings would need eyes like a meter across to be able to see as far as he did in the story

tolkien

wrr

olive sable
#

tolkien used "the wrong one"?

sage crag
#

no

#

its just

#

tolkien

olive sable
#

what about tolkien?

azure lynx
#

so the solution is "Elves don't exist, so they can do anything they want."

olive sable
#
Tolkien strongly preferred the plural elves (and dwarves/dwarvish) over "elfs," correcting editors to maintain this usage.
#

huh

azure lynx
#

the elves themselves spoke Elvish and not English, so didn't give their opinion.

olive sable
#

the only thing i can really blame about the lord of the rings trilogy is.
they used ballistas to attack a city, but that city use trebuchets to defend

#

it should have been the other way around

azure lynx
#

my main fault was the trilogy takes longer to watch than the flight from Los Angeles to Auckland. definitely too long.

olive sable
#

and the pacing is actually pretty good

#

just a long story

azure lynx
#

i was actually pretty sick of all the media about it (and am originally from NZ so it was x 10 over there) and have only watched the 1st one.

sage crag
#

which

azure lynx
#

i've read the hobbit. i think it took less time to read than the movie.

#

like, i read it in a weekend while i was visiting a friend

#

without being rude

olive sable
#

i didnt read any of the books.
i was supposed to for a book report tho. but i ended up winging it

sage crag
olive sable
sage crag
#

its still a good book, but its very short

azure lynx
#

i know ;] it's quite good though. i only read it coz i saw it was so small

olive sable
#

i like books short

rigid snow
azure lynx
#

like i said, i was visiting someone

sage crag
olive sable
#

damn

#

good thing i didnt read it

azure lynx
#

was it really?

sage crag
#

novels are usually anywhere in the range of 70000 to 120000 words

azure lynx
#

that seems long for what i remember

olive sable
#

i read the first chapter, and then made the assignment with help form chatgpt

#

to get an idea on how the story goes, i wrote most of it myself

azure lynx
#

how many partial degrees do you think chatgpt has earned since they switch it on?

olive sable
#

a couple million

sage crag
#

from random reddit post

olive sable
#

thats more than 95K

#

damn

#

oh

#

no i was reading the wrong one

#

specifically the hobit is 95k ye

sage crag
#

of course 137k words is nothing compared to the chinese yuri novels i read

azure lynx
#

wow. i must've been ploughing though it. then again, i have no idea how many pages or words books have these days as i use a kindle

olive sable
#

i recently bought a bunch of french books

#

||manga||

azure lynx
#

i just look at the "2h 35m to go in book"

#

mostly i read on the plane.

sage crag
#

if you read at 400 wpm, 95000 words is not even 4 hours

#

so, its pretty reasonable

olive sable
#

i lose focus after about 4000 words

sage crag
#

according to this chart

#

average reading fluency

#

but 350 seems a bit low for an avid reader

azure lynx
#

i think that might be the 1 sd range

#

or perhaps 2 so 95%

olive sable
#

i can probably do 300

#

idk

sage crag
#

unsure, my reading speed is around the 400wpm range though, which is why i brought up the 4 hours

azure lynx
#

if i'm focused i can read as fast as my eyes move.

olive sable
#

80% of my reading time is spent looking at the pictures

#

so idk

sage crag
azure lynx
#

there's a trick where you move your finger down the page and you can read faster, but that only works for about 2 pages for me before i start zoning out

sage crag
#

moving eyes between chunks reduces eye strain and improves speed

azure lynx
#

and i like to read dialog "out loud" in my head

sage crag
sage crag
azure lynx
#

places with lots of dialog are slower usually... depending on how they speak. if they're being direct and to the point it's probably faster than if they're being all clever.

sage crag
#

but that's unusual

azure lynx
#

when i'm reading quickly the danger is i get three pages on and realize i have just been thinking about lunch for the last 3 pages

sage crag
#

page turning is a bottleneck

#

i do not encounter it due to not having pages

azure lynx
#

blinking is the next bottleneck

tender river
#

this random reading test says i have 391wpm
i unfocus very easily though

azure lynx
rigid snow
#

me

azure lynx
#

me: squirrel

sage crag
#

non-skimmed

#

but easy article

#

you could guess these questions easily even if you skimmed the text

tender river
#

i wouldnt be surprised if your peak reading speed was higher
though i suspect most of the difference comes from better focus

azure lynx
#

i think the trick would be to write the article using completely ficticious groups with counterintuitive properties.

sage crag
#

my comprehension skills are not good

azure lynx
#

like the logic problem "If all things that are smoked are good for you, and cigarettes are smoked, are cigarettes good for you?" ... the answer is "Yes." (even though the premises is false, if it was true, then cigarettes would be good for you. i just asked about that set of facts in that specific (not true) state.

#

cigarettes are not good for you, but "IF all things that were smoked were good for you" THEN it would be true. even though that is not true.

sage crag
#

but language doesnt exist in a vacuum

azure lynx
#

the logic was what is being questioned, not the facts. the reading test also was a test of background knowledge

trim valve
#

i exist in a vaccum

sage crag
azure lynx
#

in space nobody can hear you wrrr

#

language doesn't exist in a vacuum because sound needs a medium to travel through.

#

i guess sign language could though. so language does exist in a vacuum. (deliberately misinterpreting the meaning of "exist in a vacuum" for humorous purposes)

#

the roomba uses a protocol to define what mode it should be in and how it should behave in various situations. this is a lanaguage and the protocol specifies what is a valid "sentence". so language does exist in a vacuum.

#

today is a sad day. a Computerfile video was titled "Writing a guitar sound in C". They lied. It was writing a guitar processing effect in C. And (at least the initial one) was just an overdrive effect.
writing a gutiar sound would've been much more interesting... simulating the strings.

olive sable
#

what is the difference?

split steppe
#

i kinda gave up on computerphile because 90% of their videos became about ai in recent years

#

it's just boring seeing the same topic over and over again

azure lynx
#

for an effect you still need a guitar.

olive sable
#

oh

#

ye thats not the smae hting at all

azure lynx
#

it's saying "for this array, perform this function on all the samples"

#

which isn't very interesting until you get to resonant filters

split steppe
#

aint nobody simulating the actual strings

#

could tie back to their FFT videos maybe

azure lynx
#

yeah. i've played with an open sourced/public domain VST guiitar synthesizer before to make it so it would do electric guitar sounds instead of acoustic. it used simulated strings.

#

i wrote some fun sounding (but extremely cheesy) guitar solos that even did some effects like slides and some harmonics with it, but it took a hell of a lot of processor. now you could probably push most of that to gpu

split steppe
#

i wonder, daws are notoriously cpu heavy because of the dependent calculations you need for the whole simulation

#

not sure if a gpu would do a good job, it's almost never been used afaik

azure lynx
#

if you're only doing the generation of one instrument with it it would probably be fine, especially if you know the latency... assuming you're not using it live

#

for live, get a real guitarist ;]

split steppe
#

duh :V

#

but like in general, i dunno if a gpu would help much, audio sim isn't really a parallel task

azure lynx
#

string simulation is

#

it's very much a vector operation

split steppe
#

it being a vector op doesn't mean much, what about the dependencies?

azure lynx
#

basically they chop the string into sections and simulate each section. the only dependencies other than the position of the guitar pick are the two sections on either side

patent shard
split steppe
#

hmm, maybe i'm imagining what the string sim does wrong, got a visual example for it?

azure lynx
split steppe
azure lynx
#

there is a version.

#

so it basically makes an array of delay lines and uses those to hold the string position, bouncing the signal off the end of the string and/or where it is pressed. because it allows you do choose where you strum the strings and how much and what angle you put the pick on, you can make realistic sounds with it

#

most of what I did was removing parts coz i wanted a rougher sound. ;/

split steppe
azure lynx
#

yeah same kind of "physically based rendering" but for sound idea

#

the pipes like exhausts in this simulation are delay lines like the strings except obviously they have different rules for how they work

Okay guys im very confused. Why is FP16 so much slower on this (or probably other pascal cards aswell) P40?
180Gflops fp16 vs 11tflops fp32? Why not just run the models in fp32 then? Vram useage id guess, but cant we at runtime trade some computation per layer to cast the values between fp16 and 32? Perhaps cast the next layer while the current one runs?
https://www.techpowerup.com/gpu-specs/tesla-p40.c2878

amber fractal

Well f16 is supposedly slower here.. can amp do the opposite? And how much does it matter for Q4/Q5 gguf models?

proven merlin
nocturne olive
#

In the case of my 3090 it has 1:1 FP32 and FP16 because it emulates FP16 or something

# nocturne olive Memory

Surely casting between fp16 for the inactive ones and fp32 for the active and next one cant be that bad?

Get out your notes on Neurosynth

nocturne olive
#

This must be the stupidest thing to have been put in a Systemd service

#

proven merlin
nocturne olive
#

When it comes to compute itself, usually if you want to do high throughput you want to stick to the same dtype as what is in memory
In inference you can get away with the compute being worse due to having to do casts because the mem bandwidth is the limiting factor anyway

proven merlin
#

So.. it sounds like that casting between fp32/fp16 sounds like the thing to do then

#

Or ig Int4/5 to fp32 instead of 16 or whatever

nocturne olive
#

If you really want to do inference with FP16 weights, yes

#

If you're training though, better get an FP16 capable card

proven merlin
#

Just interested in cheap ways of running models

The P40 is certainly a cheap VRAM thing

proven merlin

And kinda seems insane to me that pascal seems so capable but just not used at all due to bad fp16

# nocturne olive I find something about this extremely cursed

The story behind this:
For whatever stupid reason, today Streamlink decided it would be a good idea to bork
So then I had to go and first figure out what the issue could be, then I ended up recompiling my stream capturer wrapper, and even then it still didn't work
Then I got it working in my regular terminal but not as the Systemd service
So then I found out that the stupid Streamlink in the service was the wrong version
So then I went to try and upgrade it, but Python is stupid and I could not figure out where in the name of Neuro-sama did I install it originally
So I ended up having to make a virtual environment dedicated to the program specifically

also, why you using vulkan for llms?

proven merlin

Nvidia drivers are funny, no matter what you do there will be a default power consumption of 20W/GPU

And also, if i have the rx6700xt + rtx4080 in one system, don't i have to use vulkan?

olive sable
#

the graphics api?

proven merlin
#

Yea

olive sable
#

for llms?

nocturne olive
#

Vulkan is also used for compute

proven merlin
#

On my rtx2060 laptop vulkan vs cuda is like 2t/s difference (at a scale of 30t/s)

azure lynx
#

you're just running the same code as a shader

nocturne olive
#

llama.cpp for example has Vulkan compute capabilities

obsidian mantle
#

why can i not shrink it like this thonk

RE::TESContainer* container2 = ((RE::TESContainer*)((RE::TESObjectCONT*)((RE::TESForm*)((RE::TESObjectREFR*)((RE::TESForm*)a_ref))->data.objectReference)));
RE::TESContainer* container3 = (RE::TESContainer*)(a_ref->data.objectReference);

visual studio does 1st line and it works
i thougth these casts are excessive and did 2nd line
but its different

olive sable
#

if vulkan is used for ai the same way it is used for gamedev. then it will probably run fine with both, but you need to have it work on different things, or it will need a copy of the data on each gpu

nocturne olive
proven merlin
#

I dont particularly want tensor.. what was it called? Im fine with layered offloading, since aslong as it stays in vram, its comfortably fast (30t/s) with my rx6700xt and id assume the rtx4080 will have 0 trouble keeping up

nocturne olive
#

It will definitely be speed limited by the slower GPU

proven merlin
#

I also was looking at the intel gpus, but idk.. >1000€ for 48gb vram of vulkan only seems iffy

nocturne olive
#

12GB GPUs you can stack a bunch of for cheap

Yeah, consumer only sadly really goes up to 12-16gb tho..

im ngl, the rx 7900 xtx seems to be a lot better than the 4080 in everything besides RT

Yeaaah you may want to invest in a PSU upgrade

proven merlin

I dont mind undervolting and wattage limiting but yea

nocturne olive
#

So basically with a 7900 XTX you'd be trading a 4080 for a 4080 level GPU that works more efficiently and better with Linux and has more VRAM

proven merlin
#

Yup, giving up cuda, gaining vram, "gaining" actual rocm

#

And "good" raytracing.. which i couldn't care for at all

nocturne olive
#

I specifically need CUDA because NeuroSynth runs only on either CPU or CUDA on Linux
On Windows it'd run on more but I don't touch slop OS any more

proven merlin
#

Only bummer is no dlss but.. oh well, i cant even max out my rx6700xt in games

proven merlin

I haven't yet and i wonder how it performs

I do not have any AMD GPUs that I could test on

half the tflops of a 3090 too supposedly

proven merlin

they say 16tflops for the titan, and 35tflops for the 3090

nocturne olive
#

3090 does have nearly double the FP32
But in FP16 they're like 3TFLOPS apart

proven merlin
#

Does lamacpp and such care about fp16 or fp32 when running quantizisied models?

nocturne olive
#

I'd assume it uses FP16 if the card supports it

olive sable
#

it supports both iirc

proven merlin
#

And no way to force fp32 with on the fly casting i assume (is it really that costly?)

olive sable
#

fp16 should be the standart mode???

nocturne olive

Titan RTX doesn't seem that bad

olive sable
#

look

azure lynx

some parts of the model are still fp16 or fp32 even when quantized (as far as i understand it)

olive sable

its 475, 500 with shipping, and i need to recoup some of the money i lost on that 3090

#

so ill do 550 for it

preferably more if you can spare some change enub
