I honestly can’t wrap my head around how to use Mastodon. Idk how to search for things that would interest me.

I’m just glad Lemmy exists.

It’s not FOSS and you need an account but in a pinch and for just learning it’s really good.

FreeCAD is great but has some certain limitations you may run into with more complicated projects.

Onshape is amazing given you can use it for free but… It has other types of limitations regarding ownership and licencing (for free version).

I’m at the point where I still miss some Windows functionality but at the same time I’ve been on Linux for half a year now and can say with absolute certainty that there are now things that I would miss from Linux if I switched back to Windows.

So both OS can now irritate me equally in different ways.

7800X3D went into EOL before 9800X3D released so it will no longer be made, the stock will go down and price will likely stay as it is at best.

When you try to run a thing that everyone assures you now works on Linux flawlessly but for some reason it does not work for you in particular so you dwell deep into troubleshooting and try everything possible until you break something but then you figure out how to make it work without breaking your system so you re-install OS and start again for it to just suddenly work without the workaround just so you stumble on the same scenario with another program.

Where? Workstations at best.

I’m upgrading ASAP just for ROCM 6.2 because almost nothing seems to work ever since I’ve updated to 6.1.2 for some reason

Thanks. That’s a good ELI5. Fortunately I managed to make sense of it before your reply but the link to environment variables is highly appreciated. As I already replied to someone else, I had no idea PATH was a global/environment variable and just assumed it’s telling me to specify path so I had no idea I need to RTFM as it confused me greatly and on top of that I did another mistake which confused me even more when I finally managed to get it to do correctly which made me think I am doing it wrong.

I gave up at CMAKE finally as I really need to RTFM more on that as it started to throw many errors at me.

I’m fine with RTFM but I had no idea PATH is a global variable and I assumed it’s telling me to specify path to something. So I had no idea I need to RTFM because I did not RTFM to understand that I need to RTFM. After the first reply pointed me the right direction I managed to make sense of it. Though english is not my first language and some of the terms are just over my head so I had to RTFM with dictionary which took a lot of time for me to finally understand because I was doing another thing wrong on top of that which specifically was

I had to do ~/SCALE_PATH instead of the confusing example of $(SCALE_PATH} as trying nvcc --version did absolutely nothing even though the path was correct

I’ve been on Linux since April so I’ve stumbled a lot but got many things to work, it just takes me a lot of time to get trough it and I’ve really stumbled on this one. Getting ROCM to work was a breeze and most recently getting PyTorch with ROCM to work for AI generative models on AMD. I’ve also finally started to tinker with toolbox a lot more and finally understand the benefits of it.

Well, I progressed quite a bit and learned a lot more than I knew until now but I give up. This is way over my head, I’ll stick to using ROCM for now. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction at least.

Thanks, I’m still not sure I completely understand but I think this iis how it’s supposed to be

It’s slower because it runs at lower clocks

The point I’m trying to make is to your first response to CondensedPossum being that you’re still ruining a corporate LLM with bias.

Because if you did not then it doesn’t matter if you run it locally

Have you trained that LLM?
