Also, there are some “former crypto miner“ boards that are configured with SUPER wide slots for video cards exactly like this.

They’re great and cheap used because nobody wants them.

If I have to build a second one, that’s my next path.

I have some nvlinks on the way.

Sooooo I’ve got a friend that used pcie-oculus and then back to pcie to allow the cards to run outside the case, but that’s not what I do, that’s just the more common approach.

You can also get pcie extension cables, but they’re pricey.

I stumbled upon a cubix device by chance which is a huge and really expensive pcie bus extender that does some really fancy fucking switching. But I got that at a ridiculous price and they’re hard to come by.

If I do it right, I could host 10 cards total (2 in the machine and 8 in the cubix)

This also means that I’m running 3x 1600w psu’s and I’m most at risk for blowing breakers (adding in a 240V line is next lol)

I’m rocking 4 used ones from 4 different people.

So far, all good

You can’t buy 3090’s new anymore anyways.

4090’s are twice as much for 15% better perf, and the 5090’s will be ridiculous prices.

2x3090 is more than enough for basic inference, I have more for training and fine tuning.

You want epyc/threadrupper etc.

You want max pcie lanes.

Given the price of P40’s on eBay vs the price you can get 3090’s for, fuck the P40’s, in rocking quad 3090’s and they kick ass.

Also, Pascale is the OLDEST hardware supported…….. for how long?

Also, you’ll want to look for strange specific things to host multiple 3090’s etc.. on your motherboard You want a lot of pcie lanes from your chip and board. You want above 4g decoding (fairly common in newer hardware)

I’d be hesitant to call it bullshit, but it’s certainly not a smoking gun.

Twice in less than 6 seconds. Like, I really wanted to believe it wasn’t that clear.

It’s so fucking clear.

Low odds because “you aren’t worth the effort required” agreed.

But the distance officially is like 33 feet to 300 feet depending on the adapter.

The firmware on the devices likely isn’t updated much by the manufacturers.

So “it really depends”

Unfortunately unlike WiFi, the encryption is built into the firmware in ways that don’t update much because they make everything backwards compatible so you don’t notice.

It’s actually entirely horse shit.

Only the very newest products that are on the latest standard are secure.

It all look secure and sounds secure and feels secure with all the encryption….

But about 2 years ago there was a downgrade attack that was proven to affect basically everything.

Bluetooth security might as well be a flashing neon sign of your data.

Now it’s not quite that simple and some people have updated their devices etc……

But almost nobody actually has done that because Bluetooth devices are “fire and forget”

I mean when’s the last time you updated the firmware on your headphones or keyboard?

Mostly “never”

Yep, it doesn’t feel like a pump n dump, but very public bribery.

Hard to tell for sure, but it’s got a strange flavour to it.

Time will tell.

“Look at how racist and evil this guy I helped enable is”

They can’t possibly remove enough vitamin C for it to be OK with ADHD stimulants though 😔

So say we all.

Brought to you by the “ fuck your feelings” group and the letter X

“I’d still be in a labor camp” is a bit extreme, no?

Yeah you’re still hyper sensitive here, I’m not even fighting you. That’s my point.

You’re being overly sensitive here, I gave you the win already.

And no you can’t blame your ADHD for the sensitivity, I have it too.

Chill my guy. I’m no rfk supporter, nor maga enthusiast.

Ow my brain.

No no, I understand that vaccines are important, you misunderstand my statement.

“If we get rid of rfk’s vaccine bullshit”

Hahahahahahha it’s the Futurama intestinal worms lol

Honestly….. if we can rule out the “vaccine” shit…. Then maybe?
