Isn’t llama2.c was just a fun project for Karpathy?

When I compared llama2.c to llama.cpp it was way way slower.

All the mojo x speed up claims I’m hearing about always use the baseline of some toy examples that nobody actually uses IRL.

Am I missing anything?

Thanks for sharing.

I'm using 2080ti for my "at home" projects and going above CUDA 11.0 is indeed breaks lots of things - good luck trying to make something like colab/kaggle docker image for DS where you have TF+torch+sklearn+more combo.

Would you mind sharing resources you used to assemble your software/driver stack for 3090x2 setup?

To get a scope of how wasteful California regulations are and positions of people voting to propagate that insanity further:

What if I airbnb a room in my personal property house? Do I get "eaten as a landlord" in case I need to evict a freeloading squatter

And then the bar of criminal charges for theft is getting higher and higher. In San Francisco nobody is getting bothered by a "criminal according to old stat rules" going through a row of parked cars smashing windows and grabbing everything in plain sight anymore. Not even arrest record would show up in modern stats. We are totally safe these days

If we take the water-flow economy, CA is absolutely on a full dependency of a federal government. Water is ain't cheap

Bose QC 35 II work exactly as you described. Yes, Previous Beats Studio bought from Apple failed to deliver such experience, hence why Apple spent some dough on custom connectivity chips, but proper headphones OEMs figure it out as well with just latest Bluetooth generation

Today I was late to join a corporate conference call. It took like 5 mins to start conferencing software.

First time ever I'm genuinely frustrated with apple - macs are not those unicorn tools anymore that work reliable

I was living a few blocks away from YouTube HQ building and with 1gigabit up/down fiber optics cable had YouTube stutters. They [YouTube] definitely don’t optimize for that

What are you talking about. Loss porn on r/wsb is great entertainment and scratches the “cautionary tale” itch very well. You can’t say that Robinhood users do that to themselves without consent at this point in time

Free Society doesn’t benefit much from the hammer that does the nails the best of the best. Society benefits more from the good hammer that finds the right nails to handle. Thus, rewards the latter behaviour more
