   Gypsy told me the other day that I don't make things anymore, but I do work out how to make things and how to solve problems, and I guess that's right?

   I've turned into 'ok, I've proved that X can be done, let's...'

     @DarkestKale I've become a lot like this. If I weren't being paid to produce fully functional solutions, I'd make even less!

     I fucking trained an epoch (which used to take about 1.5 hrs) in... four fucking minutes.

     if anyone wants to know what the fucking deal with #CUDA for #PyTorch is, it's like this:
     * You can run multiple versions of CUDA and swap between them using Environment variables
     * If you're using Pycharm, you want to manually pull in the Pytorch PLUS Cuda variant of torch via pip, not the built in package manager
     * 12.x version of CUDA can suck knob, use 11.x instead.

     Thing is - now that I can do it /quickly/, I can already feel my brain going 'yeah, ok, solved problem. Let's go do something else entirely'.

     **long shrug**

     Huh.

     Ok, so parameter size is determined by (base) model architecture (which makes sense).

     So... my model, currently on gpt-2 small is about 124M

     Could go higher, definitely, and I definitely probably will... just not sure if what I need is moar dataset or moar training or MOAR PARAMETERS

     So many little levers and buttons and things to toy with.

     Dunno if I'll even get anything useful out of this, but it has been an interesting project.

     Still no idea what my endgame is.

     An LLM with... a more ethical dataset?

     What the fuck is this foolishness?

     Listen, kids.

     I can understand someone saying 'we've run out of *human written* novels to train AI on'

     but...

     Not video, when (almost) everyone has a camera in their pocket and they're uploading shit to the cloud

     I know 'hey the kid who doesn't like reading is Dyslexic! Surprise!' is a bit of a trope, but... yeah, I've actually heard some folks find out they're dyslexic way later that it would seem obvious, so... I guess this'd be a PSA

     The other guy at work who does #gunpla stuff brought in the finished cheap #aliexpress kit I got him, and wow, his build quality is nice.

     He did panel lining on it, and that's clearly a game changer.
