Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

Like.
Hmm... The obvious one is a models subcategory, right? I also see a lot of questions regarding hardware, so I'd definitely have a hardware sub category. Another one for platforms and tools (Ollama, vLLM, OpenWebUI, Hermes, etc.) maybe? Maybe... -

Is there a need to create sub sections? If you think there is then I can think of: AI Hardware AI Software and models AI Projects

pandather replied to the thread Is Adobe worth it anymore?.I dislike Adobe and all the crap that runs in the background but if I’m doing any decent amount of editing I know the software and the time I save is worth it to me over using the alternatives re: photo editors. However I don’t do much now and am...

Honestly, I wonder if humanity will actually look at this ethically. We have started to change our thoughts on animals just in the last few decades, but silicon? Even if we manage AGI and it can "feel", i dont see most people stopping to think...

pandather reacted to Bigshrimp's post in the thread What is AGI - what is consciousness - what is a soul? with Like.
Money is more important than human life. That's what society is built upon and teaches us ever since we were babies. So we are just reaching the climax of greed, inhumanity, and the disregard of everything good. It won't be sustainable for much...

pandather replied to the thread What LLM/Model you using?.What software are y’all using with your LLMs? I’ve been having a hard time trusting even many of the open source projects since I’ve seen one with opt-out telemetry and stuff built in (don’t remember the name, it was months ago and I noped outta...

pandather replied to the thread What LLM/Model you using?.Qwen for the win. :) 3.8 is great. :p I setup a little MCP server so it could address my lights with rgb matrices. 3.6 was awesome and could set them to what I want. With 3.8 and a little python and opengl esque scripting language or a keyframe...

pandather replied to the thread Storage Prices.Welp I didn’t listen and got some rust. :p Managed to score 26x8TB and 8x4TB Dell Exos 7E8 SAS drives for a (still relatively un)reasonable amount of money, but good in this market. Now we’re talking. :) I’m unsure if I should resell them and...

pandather replied to the thread Looking for Mini-PC for retro gaming.Something to note is if you ever want to hook up to old CRT TVs. The best but is getting an old radeon card like an HD 6450 which you can run alongside even an Nvidia GPU just for the VGA output using crtemudriver for the windows side or some...

pandather replied to the thread Carbide ice nanotube pads.I would rather replace my paste every few years than risk exposing myself to carbon nanotubes.

pandather reacted to obsidian_mh's post in the thread Built a RAM deal finder / price tracker with Like.
RAMList.com Got a little frustrated trying to find "reasonable" prices on RAM, so I built a personal tracker that I've now begun fleshing out into a full-blown website. Feedback is welcome!

Hey, I just wanted to put this somewhere permanent. I’ve tried a number of haptic transducers lately trying to figure out how I can implement tactile haptics into future projects, and into games. I’ve tried the: Dayton BST-1 Dayton BST-300EX...

pandather replied to the thread What LLM/Model you using?.I just got my 5090 and have been a teeny bit overwhelmed with the models. Tried probably 20 of them. Mainly for programming (generating code), but also a lot for generating structured outputs for my programs. As for the ones that fit I like qwen...

"They" are always price fixing every few years, and as long as they can get away with it, they'll keep doing it.

pandather replied to the thread Storage Prices.Pretty fair find. Building you might be able to get better quality parts for the price but maybe not with today’s prices that’d have to be parted out. Right now I’m at 96GB (2x48gb) ddr5 6000c32 with a 9950X3D. It’s a beast. I still can find lots...

We know what the sustainable formula is. You need like 20 free spirit hippies that truly come up with off the wall great ideas, and then you need 1 real dick head boss that keeps everything on track and grounded in reality and 1 middle manager to...

pandather replied to the thread Storage Prices.Yup. :( I’m buying as much as I can now, I just don’t know how to spread out the buying. Torn between storage, ram, and vram.
