I like this calculator but it’s really wrong at least for dgx spark. I have one and I get 4x the tokens/s .

Aw very interesting! This is great feedback - what model are you running? I'm keen to do more crowdsourced data as time goes on.

The big three :)

The latest unsloth llama.cpp has a lot of nice features that runs them faster than before.

I’ll have to double check which one runs how fast, but it’s generally 20-40 t/s. (And infil is fast but not sure how that’s counted)

Jeez I checked eBay and they are up to $300+ now

I’d love to see a schematic.

I’d highly recommend to make sure you have plenty of esd diodes and protection resistors on all inputs. That’ll help the longevity of the system.

I see the antenna points straight at ground and buttons. Is the wifi ok?

Other comment says no wifi but even if it did, those antennas don't radiate in a straight line

It does not use wifi or Bluetooth.

In the video he does "joke" about using BT for an app

But yet, on the github page it explicitly says it does not use Wifi or BT.

Cost is a reason. You need to dig out that dirt (which is expensive), it needs supports, your house needs support around it/through it…

Making things bulletproof and massive runs opposite of cheap

I figured they meant while building the house, which of course would cut costs by a lot if it were engineered for.

Practically speaking any person cannot maintain that for significant length of time. Dieting has like a 99% fail rate by year 2. It’s hard to maintain that for many people — your body will keep you in starvation mode, keep you hungry and hang on to every calorie received.

Why can’t Apple launch a $50k product for $1k? Everyone would buy it!

To go further down this pipe dream - Anthropic / OpenAI would buy them all and still price out the consumer. There's no end-run in this scenario.

Well everyone would. How many would you buy if you could turn around and sell them for $30k easily lol?

It’s like saying “well if Subaru launches a nice hybrid suv for $1k it’ll sell like pancakes” and yeah.. but it costs more in steel/ram to build that lol

I have a g9 and cooling is fine, but not great. I ended up opening it up and placing heatsinks on hot chips

That's true. I had to raise mine on two small cardboard boxes to allow SSDs to breathe. Also mine is not under very high load.

I mean fast 128gb of ram is like $2k so it’ll be $3k after overhead for just the ram portion of device.

American homes are weird that roof costs are something that occurs.

Last house I owned in the U.K. was 60 years old, original roof. Was advised it might need $10k of work if I wanted to out 10kWp of solar on it to the weight of the tiles.

$180 a year into a “roof fund” doesn’t seem extreme to me.

If you don't have cash savings as a homeowner, you can leverage a home equity loan or line of credit to cover those emergency bills. In times of extreme low interest rates, it may even be beneficial to do that vs. paying with cash.

If your household is a typical HN high earner, and you are early in your mortgage's amortization schedule, the tax money you save by deducting interest can fund a $10k emergency repair fund too. Maybe even in less than a year.

Predictable for a year or two, yes. I know how much I'll be paying a decade from now, exempting property tax and insurance fluctuations.
