  • Just buy used PC. Same perf, lower price.

  • You can always uses system memory too. Not exactly an UMA, but close enough.

    Or just use iGPU.

  • Aren't LLMs external algorithms at this point? As in the all data will not fit in RAM.

    • Why is daisychaining multiple extension cords considered unsafe, even if only done to the length of a standard cable?

    Jump

  • Correct. And temperature does not depend on length. We already said it.

  • Which protein? Sonic hedgehog? Tell genetic engieneers what protein you want, and they will make yeast make that protein. Or ecoli. Or rice. Or tomato. Or anything else.

  • On a scale from "smoking 20 packs of cigarettes a day" to "stubbing your toe on a really heavy piece of furniture", how dangerous would you subjectively rate daisy chaining extension cords

    As dangerous as one extension cord of their combined length. Don't forget to verify that every cord rating is above load rating. I recommend to use at least same rating as circuit breaker or get extension cord with circuit breaker built in and never decrease rating down the line without circuit breaker before it, so even if you somehow overload it, there will be protection from it.

    AND NEVER COIL OR THERMALY INSULATE! Cords rely on convection for heat dissipation, and spooling and insulating reduces it, thus increasing electrical insulator temperature until it melts and spontaneously combusts. This applies to extension cords in general.

  • And temperature difference to ambient temperature is thermal resistivity * dissipated power / (2\*Ď€\*radius\*length). If you will plug dissipated power = resistance * current^2 and resistance into it, you will see, that temperature difference is invariant of length.

  • The longer the wire, the more heat it can dissipate, so no, you don't need wire to be thicker.

  • Yes! There is a video about this. Heat in spool of cord is trapped.

  • It doesn't make sense. Temperature difference does not depends on length.
