The workstation versions are fine if you're running one or maybe two cards with an airflow gap between them, but if you pack four of them right next to each other then you're going to have a bad time when the fans get going.

Ou, I was wrong. Unexpected. Are there (comparatively) a lot of uses for the that card in a server?

In all fairness, not even Lambda Labs offers workstations with RTX6000 server variants.

There are no RTX6000 "server" variants. These GPUs are designed for workstation use. I mean it is even in the name.

Can you guys make one more that I could stop by and pick up from your office (and pay for, if you care for that sort of thing)? I checked with Puget Systems, but they are only doing 3 cards max.

My only question is: why not Zen 5? No suitable motherboards?

If you actually want a good multi-GPU system, just get an NVIDIA-designed system. There's no good reason to try to design and build one yourself when you will be relying almost entirely on NVIDIA cards and their multi-GPU communication.

They aren't selling one yet for the Blackwell generation.

I had a roommate in the US who used to leave the AC on all day because he loved coming home after 12 hours outside to a cold apartment.

In an apartment that would probably be maybe $100/month unless your electricity is very expensive. Low price to pay for comfort.

I'm not sure intuition is required. Please bear with me.

If I ask a factual question of AI it will issue some output. In order for me to check that output, which I am apparently bound to do in all cases, I must check reliable sources, perhaps several. But that is precisely the work I wanted to avoid by using AI. Ergo, the AI has increased my work load because I had the extra useless step of asking the AI. Obviously, I could have simply checked several reliable sources in the first place. I see this as the razor at work.

It ought to be clear now that the use of AI for factual questions entails that it be trustworthy; when you ask an AI a factual question, the work you are hoping to avoid is equal to the work of checking the AI output. Hence, no time can ever be saved by asking factual questions of an untrustworthy AI.

QED

P.S. This argument, and its extensions, occurred to me and my advisors 25 years ago. It caused me to conclude that building anything other than a near perfect AI is pointless, except as a research project to discover the path to a nearly perfect AI. Nearly perfect should be interpreted to be something like "as reliable as the brakes on your car" in terms of MTBF.

You can find a fact and a source together. Then validation becomes faster than search.

I picked a Morrowind screenshot of Vivec city and after a few (laggy) frames, it teleported me to a lotr-looking forest and then quickly to a fallout landscape.

Might have potential, but I wasn't terribly impressed by the lack of consistency.

That's a common issue with all video (and audio, but at longer durations, like a few minutes) models. The context is simply too long for current LLMs.

It's fun, but in the initial demo no matter how hard I am trying to make the horse go into the water, it stays on the trail.

Hey, this is very cool! I just tried to make something alike for Windows yesterday for talking in French (Bonjour le Québec). After a few hours fidgeting with Whisper, I ended up finding https://github.com/SakiRinn/LiveCaptions-Translator , but it does not have the virtual microphone feature. Do you plan to support Windows any time soon?

Non-sandboxed macOS app, every single time! :D

I imagine virtual microphones are not covered by standard permissions under sandboxing.
