Only go to sleep when you really intent to. No scrolling on your phone in the bed, no reading books,...
The moment you lay/sit down, you intent to sleep.
If it doesn't work: get up, do something else, try again later.
Isolate factors that could keep you awake like sugar, caffeine, alkohol,... Even a handfull of gummies could influence when you fall asleep.
Check on air-quality, room temperature and moisture, dryness of bedding, room -brightness, -light sources, noice levels.
Try out keeping a journal of these things, as well as your mental state and reflect on your sleep in the morning.
If available, ask your SO or room-mate about their sleep, that's a great way to identify external influences.
If your data stays inconsistent, ask a doctor, as there might be medical conditions influencing you falling asleep, ike high blood pressure or hormone imbalances.
This discussion is incredibly funny, because it is a discussion.
I personally prefer the equivalence (⇔) over the implication (⇒) since I like to emphasize that the statement is true in both directions. Well and having an incorrect base leads to funny statements on implications: x = x/2 ⇒ x = π is true.
NixOS just sits on your face. All the stuff in front of you is awesome. Though you might suffocate at any moment given the options. Oh and sticking your nose too deep into things might get you a broken nose.
I'm using rustic, a lock-free rust-written drop-in-replacement of restic, which (I'm referring to restic and therefore in extension to rustic) supports always-encrypted, deduplicating, compressed and easy backups without you needing to worry about whether to do a full- or incremental-backup.
All my machines run hourly backups of all mounted partitions to an append-only repo at borgbase. I have a file with ignore pattern globs to skip unwanted files and dirs (i.e.: **/.cache).
While I think borgbase is ok, ther're just using hetzner storage boxes in the background, which are cheaper if you use them directly. I'm thinking of migrating my backups to a handfull of homelabs from trusted friends and family instead.
The backups have a randomized delay of 5m and typically take about 8-9s each (unless big new files need to be uploaded). They are triggered by persistent systemd-timers.
The backups have been running across my laptop, pc and server for about 6 months now and I'm at ~380 GiB storage usage total.
I've mounted backup snapshots on multiple occasions already to either get an old version of a file, or restore it entirely.
There is a tool called redu which is like ncdu but works on restic/rustic repos. This makes it easy to identify which files blow up your backup size.
Thanks for the writeup! So far I've been using ollama, but I'm always open for trying out alternatives. To be honest, it seems I was oblivious to the existence of alternatives.
Your post is suggesting that the same models with the same parameters generate different result when run on different backends?
I can see how the backend would have an influence hanfling concurrent api calls, ram/vram efficiency, supported hardware/drivers and general speed.
But going as far as having different context windows and quality degrading issues is news to me.
Is there an inherent benefit for using NVLINK? Should I specifically try out Aprodite over the other recommendations when having 2x 3090 with NVLINK available?
