I'm considering buying a Linux workstation lately and I want it full AMD. But if I can just plug an NVIDIA card via an eGPU card for self-hosting LLMs then that would be amazing.
I am extremely skeptical of this. On the contrary there is a mountain of direct evidence that people barely work when working from home. People have been openly bragging both on the internet and in person about how they do laundry and watch netflix and mow their lawns while looking productive
All you need to do is look at the crowds in the park or lines at the grocery store on any given friday to gauge how much work is being done on wfh days
Consider that you might be in the bubble of yes-people.
Work from home allowed many people to find their exact productive schedule, motivators and rhythm. But we can't have that, 8h or leave!
Apparently not too busy to visit HN and post shallow dismissals.
I agree with GP. Not everything is for everyone and expecting every project to cater to your very specific needs is rather entitled. If you're not interested, feel free to move on - I do that all the time for most of the content on here.
Indeed, as you have just excellently demonstrated. I did not dismiss anything, I generalized, which I believe we're all aware is never accurate. Thought that much was obvious and did not warrant a response like yours.

Exactly what I did, and then I and a few others explained why. No idea why that was met with emotional responses that classify mine and others as "shitty behaviour".
I'm sorry Junegunn! I would never dream of stealing that kind of valor. I'll remember to flag [1] as a tutorial I wrote explicitly in the future.
Thanks for the clarification.
Though I have to ask: why two eGPUs? Is the LLM software smart enough to be able to use any combination of GPUs you point it at?
