I've done it with a 6800XT, which should be similar. It's a little trickier than with an Nvidia card (because everything is designed for CUDA) but doable.
It seems like you are saying the AI features don't work if you don't have a GPU, if I understood correctly, but I have my install on a server with no GPU and the object search and facial recognition features work fine. Probably slower to generate the embeddings, but I don't have any comparison to make.
My number one reason for moving away from using LXD in production after this change is that LXD is only available through snap, which caused multiple downtimes in the cluster because of the forced updates.
Exactly. And depending on whether you are installing it with snap or other package managers, like pacman in arch, it'll actually use differently folders for configs, so if you are writing automation for say automatically manage remotes without relying on the cli, you'll have to account for that. Better to just use Incus whenever possible.
It does - the inference speed is much slower than a consumer video card. The draw for the Spark and systems like it are the massive amounts of memory available to the GPU.
I had been unemployed for a year and worked a lot on DiffKeep (https://github.com/DiffKeep/DiffKeep), a cross platform AI generated image management program. Fortunately / unfortunately I got a job and haven't been able to dedicate much time to it lately.
That's more accurate. Shifu is just intended to translate the English "master".†
Note that it isn't the Chinese word for "teacher", which is 老师 laoshi. (Same "shi".) Shifu is a different title.
ABC provides these glosses:
-----
师傅 shīfu
1. master worker
2. tutor of a king/emperor
3. [PRC] general term of address in the late 70s and 80s
4. [courteous] term of address for service workers [such as a carpenter]
-----
The Tuttle Learner's Dictionary provides this note:
> 师傅 shīfu is [] a polite form of address to a worker. For example, an electrician or a mechanic can be addressed as 师傅, or, if his family name is 李, 李师傅.
It is how martial arts instructors are addressed, but not how teachers are addressed. Teachers are white-collar.
† In the movie, it's pronounced with the FLEECE vowel, as if it were the English words "she foo", for no reason that I can understand. To an English speaker, the Mandarin word will sound like "shiffoo", using KIT and not FLEECE in the first syllable.
Do you determine the worthiness of all your activities by how much money you could make in the time they took?
I read the full article and found it well worth the time. A somewhat sobering essay, prompting some self-reflection, while also being beautifully written. I appreciated the art displayed.
How can you put a price tag on something like that?
I start it around the beginning of summer vacation (northern hemisphere) so unfortunately you'll have to wait ~10 months for the next one. But given the yearly participation, I believe it's worth it :)
Off topic, but I really wish DuckDB's FTS extension could add to the index as the table is added to. It's the only thing keeping me on sqlite for a project.
