I’m running an 8b parameter model on a machine with 128GB ram and an 8GB gpu.

but that’s way more than necessary

running llama3 in the home lab. fired up an ide and installed a coding assistant plugin, pointed at the local llm. hot keys to add query and generate code, feels very fast.

I’ll probably always use vim as my primary editor but man some of these new tools are wild.

You’re welcome. Can I ask a question in return?

Norway is a massive adopter of EVs, primarily because they would rather sell their oil than burn it.

I am less familiar with EV take up in Sweden, how does it compare to Norway, or other countries like the UK?

Are you familiar with the EV charging infrastructure within your country? Is it widespread or still quite limited?

Any feedback would be welcome.

Thank you

I just get into stuff well over my head and then begin to take small bites and bit - no real idea what I’m doing here….. yet

Yep, below freezing has a big impact on battery drain. Expect to cut the range estimate by a third and make sure you keep a decent level of charge in the car for general drain.

There are plenty of people that use EVs in these conditions, but you do need to be aware of this.

Petrol cars have the advantage of producing heat as a waste by product of their fuel explosions. EVs use electricity to heat the car which is inefficient compared to petrol. Modern EVs use heat pumps which are more efficient, but you still can't beat the heat produced by a petrol car which has no effect on range.

Yes, not everybody is the same and some will adapt faster than others, but how to avoid triggering the emotional connections to a legacy system or belief is a difficult challenge

As for EV questions, sure, always happy to have a good, informed discussion about anything.

I am not an evangelist for EVs to the same degree as I am with Bitcoin, but I do have years of knowledge and study providing me with a reasonably informed opinion.

Public charging. Again Tesla win the day here. Their charging is comprehensive, cheap, reliable and incredibly easy to use. However for third party cars reliant on third party charging networks this has been a problem. My brother in law bought a Mercedes EV over a Tesla as he looked at Zap-map and saw thousands of chargers across the UK and assumed it wouldn’t be a problem. He lives in Salisbury, we live in Oxford and both my Wife and my Brother in law regularly visit their parents in the Scottish borders. When we drive north, charging is easy and we integrate it into a lunch or coffee stop, my brother in law has only tried driving his car north once and it was an awful experience, he didn’t have any accounts, apps or NFC cards to use the myriad of public chargers, which were few and far between.

The situation is improving rapidly for third party chargers, but it is still an unpleasant experience and I wouldn’t buy anything other than a Tesla for the next few years for that very reason.

As for remote charging. If I wanted to drive the Sahara desert, Amazon rainforest or Australian outback, I would choose a petrol car every time.
