Waterproof shoes or socks ? in c/running@lemmy.world
[–] Matburnx@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 months ago

Have you tried "tightening" socks? When I began running I had blisters almost every time I was running. And with those types of socks, I rarely have any blister on my feet. I also don't really notice a difference of efficiency between when it's raining or not, so I think you could try that.

Well, I use my laptop as a daily-driver, so training an AI in the background, even when I don't use it seems a bit complicated. The Markov chain seems like an interesting alternative for what I'm looking, does any tools to use one exist or should I build one from scratch?

That seems pretty disappointing. It seemed to me like it could have been somewhat possible. I've trained a 0.8M parameters model and it was spitting out something that looked like French, not French though. So I need to test it but I feel like if I do it with some millions of parameters it could work. It still wouldn't have a coherence but at least it could form real sentences. Again I don't know much about this, so I'm surely wrong. I also think the dataset may be the issue, I didn't use a general purposed dataset, only French books in a txt file.

Training a model without a GPU (sh.itjust.works)
 

Hi, I'm currently starting to learn how LLM works in depth, so I started using nanoGPT to understand how to train a model and I'd like to play around with the code a little more. So I set myself a goal to train a model that can write basic French, it doesn't to be coherent or deep in its writing, just French with correct grammar. I only have a laptop that doesn't have a proper GPU, so I can't really train a model with billions of parameters. Do you think it's possible without too much dataset or intensive training? Is it a better idea if I use something different from nanoGPT?

TLDR: I'd like to train my own LLM on my laptop which doesn't have a GPU. It's only for learning purpose, so my goal is that it can write basic French. Is it doable? If it is, do you have any tips to make this easier?
