An hour of GPU usage is pretty damn affordable, just 40c or 80c or $1.20. Not a problem. The problem is I want something that I can afford to leave idle and available all day and all night long, without waiting for a boot up.

But spill the beans about the vGPUs, I wanna know

I actually think the way religious evangelism works is predatory AF.

Ohh, you're a depressed loser sad sack? Then be Christian! You'll probably still be depressed, but you'll be a depressed Christian and that's what matters innit

And plenty of people get sucked in. And if it weren't for that they'd get sucked in to something else I suppose

If y'all could not tell depressed / horny / lonely / academically-failing teens they are trans that would be even better.

"The faith itself" is Hillsong and Osteen, in practical terms.

The actual faith died with the Christians in the Colosseum. - #nietzsche

@Owl@nicecrew.digital

no shit sherlock, never denied that.

Plenty of unhappy Christians too who never got what they signed up for.

@Owl@nicecrew.digital

People get paid to solve problems right? And every pastor is intimately familiar with the problems afflicting their congregation. Health problems. Money issues. Their childrearing issues, their mental health issues and relationship problems.

But what can they actually do about it?

"Oh well, god loves you anyway". Cope and prayer.

@Owl@nicecrew.digital

Yes.

Actual Christianity means "you live for Christ, you die for Christ, all for no tangible benefit whatsoever."

Is that what evangelists are preaching? Is that what fills the pews?

@Owl@nicecrew.digital

True that.

But what gets people into church? Their problems.

Whom do evangelists go after? Alcoholics, criminals, and dysfunctional poor people.

@Owl@nicecrew.digital

"Jesus made the stars and sunshine" does play a role in religion, but that isn't what gets people saved.

Saved from what?

People have an internalized sense of guilt and regret when they're down on their luck, I think.

Welp. I tried to get vLLM installed and I couldn't. I got ollama installed on a cheap VPS and it was practically unusable. Practically the smallest LLM you will find will take four minutes to put one word to the console, if you're not using a GPU.

I guess I'll be using cloud-based LLMs for the time being.

Mistral's docs recommend vLLM, but I've made more than a few botched installs of vLLM, over the past few days. I'm going to maybe use ollama instead, since lots of people on tech fedi have been bragging about how fun it is.

The way mixtral works is mixtral is told, with each request, what it said before. It doesn't remember.

messages = [{ "role": "user", "content": "you are a calculator. What is 2 + 2?" } , { "role": "assistant", "content": "I am a calculator. 2+2 = 4." } , { "role": "user", "content": "you are not a calculator. What is 2 + 2?" } , { "role": "assistant", "content": "I am not a calculator, but I'm fairly sure 2+2 = 4." } , { "role": "user", "content": "are you sure you arent a calculator? What is a calculator anyway? Am I a human? Is anything real?" } ]

RMS was a childhood hero of mine when I was just a teen. This dude made a C compiler and a text editor his life's work, when he wasn't screeching autistically for normies to STOP USING WINDOWS. A real passion-driven guy.
