Llama 2 70B with 8b quantization takes around 80GB VRAM if I remember correctly. I’ve tested it a while ago.

I think it was around 7.5k EUR. But because I bought and sold Apple shares with this in mind I’ve paid around 500 EUR for that thing.

And what exactly is wrong with that?

My MacBook Pro was 128 GB of memory is so desperate to fill it up that it gives the applications insane amounts of memory. That only took around 30 GB of memory, so the Mac also loaded the entire file system to the memory which takes around 80 GB. The whole system is super fast because it doesn’t have to read the files from a slow SSD, but from a fast memory.

It’s just a matter of how you look at it. The empty memory = wasted memory.

Get fucked for what? That I’m from the EU? That I send donations to the country at war? That I have a gf?

Not everyone! I’m one of those. From time to time some American reminds me but my brain filters out as a completely useless information and I forget it.

It’s the sense of speed and degree of realism is higher than in Forza games. GT Sophy AI is also amazing. It adds personalities to the AI cars so they no longer follow predefined lines but they block, attack, crash or spin from too much throttle.

I’m addicted to Grand Turismo 7 right now. I don’t play anything else which is rare with me. I even got to the point where I bought PS VR2 just for this game.

And what’s the difference exactly? As a Czech dating an Ukrainian woman, let me tell you that the difference is that “European” women are spoiled and lazy. My girlfriend is working two jobs (14 to 16 hours a day), she’s facing a lot of discrimination and racism and yet she’s always in a good mood. Everyone is her community is like that.

Maybe you are from a non-Slavic country? To you they might seem different because you don’t understand/know? They are listening to the same music as you, they are watching the same shows on Netflix as you. Their stuff is arguably better than “ours” cough Lions on the jeep cough. Learn the language and you’ll see. For a nation that went through so many tragedies I don’t think it’s fair to look down upon them. Even if they primarily want a protection. So what? Why should you have it and they don’t?

Any help? Sure! As someone who also has ADHD and mastered Obsidian, let me tell you that Obsidian is not your friend. It’s a dumb app in a sense you have to constantly take care of your system. And oh boy, you will over engineer your system.

If you want to stay organized, live in the moment, you need an app that can take care of itself. Like calendar and todo app. Please don’t repeat my mistake and turn around. Learn GTD. Find GTD Nordic podcast and listen to the first six episodes. You can thank me later.

This community has a lot of good ideas. The most important one is the need for permanent notes. This allows me to forget stuff because I know I’ll find it in a shape that is useful for me.

Then there are ideas on how to do it. Zettelkasten, PARA, Johnny Decimal etc.

And finally what to write for example habit trackers, daily notes, ledgers etc.

I like looking at other people notes because it gives me ideas on how to improve my own notes. I’m not in a stage where I would blindly copy anything, but if something catches my eye I think how to integrate it into my notes. And that’s the value I get from this community.

For the ideas

I went through multiple steps of using and not using folders. In the end a had a moment where I asked myself a question. What is a page? What should it contain and how big it should be? Then it struck me and more questions popped up. Why do I need one way of linking when I link a page, but different way when I want to link a specific part? The answer is that I don’t need Obsidian. I need an outliner. An infinite fractal document which enables me to link specific parts of its tree. So I switched to Tana and then to Workflowy.

My method of organizing “pages” is quite simple. I use alphabet. It’s surprising to me that I don’t see it being recommended as a default option online. Instead I see Johnny Decimal, PARA, LATCH and other names just to sell an online course. Now what is a page in my system. It’s a search keyword and I associate with the information.

Next step that arises sooner than later is to reduce number of pages visible. I do this by progressively grouping pages into “folders” which in case of an outliner means nesting it under each other. For example I might discover a cool fact about Prague. I have a lot of pages that start with P so I group them. Then I notice that a lot pages start with Pr so I group them again and then I create Prague node.

Searching is simple as well. If I search for my friend John I might click through J > Jo > John but it is logical in my eyes and three levels are not that common anyway.
