With a low budget I'm considering to buy a used under warranty 3060 12GB primarily for local LLMs and occasional gaming, the sellers are asking 25-40k which i feel is very high for an two generation old card, id like to know whats the amount i should offer?
I already have :
- a 4x2 feet height adjustable table, I can possibly extend it to 5x2.5 feet.
- 34 inch and 27inch monitors with table mountings
- two tower PCs(mid tower 20x20x10 inch) with high end GPUs which generates alot of heat and noise at peak load
- one mini rack server of size 20x10x10 inch
So far I have been considering:
- 4x2 feet table along the middle of east wall(right)
- 6x3 feet white board along the north/ bathroom wall
- tall book shelf(7.5x2.5x1.25 ft) on the south west corner along the west wall(left)
- lounge chair(reading) around southwest region near book shelf and window
- a two tier table/Console of size (dxw) 3x2 or 5x1 on south east corner (bottom right), two tower PC and mini server rack at the bottom and printer on its top. Incase I keep the PC enclosed(for sound and heat isolation )- I can possibly create a duct on the south-east wall to exhaust the heat generated from PCs out to the balcony
Pls feel free to share your thoughts and any reference photo if possible
Thanks in advance!
Hello,
I expect to get possession for my 3 bhk in Pune by dec 26
Given that I work in IT sector and carry a heavy debt, i feel it's wise to optimise spending between interiors vs debt repayment, investments, insurances and savings for emergencies etc.
As a family we definitely want our new home to look aesthetically good while catering all the functional needs for 8-12 years.
We have some old furniture/appliances from existing 5yo 2bhk which we intend to partially use it. Furniture was done through local contractors.
We checked some known brands but we found that the quotes to be very high and almost 2-3x of base price in which a carpenter/contractor does.
I have a basic understanding of hardware and materials like laminate, plywood, hardware etc. and a decent sense of design and our practical needs.
I'm seeking advice to save money on interiors, best practices etc
Thanks in advance!
I found no geometry box without this item (i guess its divider) and this use to remain 100% unused..
Pardon my editing skills!
Good morning!
After about 3-4 months I'll be renting out my 5yo 2bhk in Balewadi
It has plywood furniture and is as good as new, i can take everything (except kitchen) to the new flat and save about 6-7L
Whats your opinion on renting out with/without furniture? What's the rent I can expect
Details:
How many of you have seen this or still own this ? Do share pics ..
For standard internal new/used 2TB hdd for cold storage, in the current market i see alot of variations in prices for new and used both(100%)
I'd like to understand what's the fair value.?
P2S vs X2D (combos) is a common debate
But, the $100(~12%) difference is in US(or may be some other cuntries too), for whatever reasons the difference is about 30% in countries like India, Brazil, South Africa, Turkey
As an Indian buyer, I want to understand if the 30% price difference is justified for functional printing, or it make sense to jump directly to H2S which is just 33% higher than X2D (72% higher than P2S). H2S may appear cheap, but its because of X2Ds price being very high. P2S vs H2S maintains a narrow range of difference of about 70-85% everywhere including India.
I see most of the suggestions boils down to buying X2D over P2S for being just 100$ or 12 % costlier. Are these difference worth 30% premium for almost a similar product?
- Active heated chamber
- Auxiliary 2nd nozzle
- 3-stage Air filter
Does active heated chamber adds any value for ABS/CF printing, max 25 % of my prints are going to be ABS/Carbon fibre and rest 75% in PLA+/PETG, same ratio for multi/single color. Also I'm not sure how frequent supports would be required for functional printing. I estimate 10-15 prints a month.
Or, should i go for H2S as below features over P2S -
- Active heated chamber (like X2d)
- 3-stage Air filter (like X2D)
- Bigger build volume
TBH, i dont know how frequently i'll need bigger build volume or what kind of applications it has. But im least likely to buy any other 3d printer for nest 6-7 years
With more software engineers entering into data science and AI, I feel it's equally important for a person with data and AI background to dive into software development to survive, thrive in industry.
I Know it's a very broad question, so suggestions with broad subjects, topics are welcome , like I often wonder how DSA is relevant. I totally understand the needs of the skills are deeply coupled with domain, industry and specific problems but unfortunately the industry doesn't understand this, it judges you, rewards you based on what you already know or pretend rather than your ability to learn or adapt.
Looking for 10 inch rack mount(with HDMI/Kestone slots) design for Lenovo Thinkcentre (m920q/720q)
Im considering to but either
- Used X1C with AMS for about 75k - decent condition
- New P1S combo - 70k
Im very new to 3d printing and trying to understand what things i should consider before making a decision, im also inclined towards p2s and x2d but they bit costly. My applications are functional/engineering prints for homelab, DIY electronics etc.- 5-10 prints/month
Also let me know whats the max i should offer for X1c if its a better option than p1s.
I'm a Principal data scientist with 15 yoe, about 70 lpa in a product company, briefly I worked on most data and ml related roles in different domains/companies from the start of my career. My current work includes research, foundational algorithms development and training on different modalities. I recently started catching up with agentic systems and agents. I have built two high end GPU rigs by myself to compliment my learning journey.
I feel I'm good at handling team, but I feel I'm better at solving problems. That's the reason i preferred a technical role over functional. I have not aggressively hunted for jobs and higher pays and rather tried to seek quality work. (may be that's the reason I'm in the wrong place). I hardly see any technofunctional roles.
With increasing experience, I feel I'm getting surrounded by toxic people who seem to be feeling insecure from me (especially folks who closely work with me including manager, a senior/junior colleagues) and always try to exploit me per their need while trying to take away the exposure.and credits in shameless way. The team has no or very minimal DS experience if I keep myself aside.
I don't want to write a lot here about the dirty politics I'm facing or what I'm going through for a couple of years.
In fact I've been trying to ignore this toxicity but recently started reacting a bit strongly on a few occasions... all these seems to be causing mental stress and may be deterring my skills and ability to work efficiently. I find it difficult to fall asleep on the day I have 2-3 meetings with those toxic people. Even I seem to be gaining weight out of stress despite a good diet and physical activity.
Being at purely technical/architect role, although senior, I feel less empowered. Like everywhere a couple of middle men tend to control everything with no relevant skills, yes no relevant skills ..just surviving by doing dirty politics, favoutism, manipulating people, lies..
Coming back to me(the OP), I'm open to suggestions..
- be it on the right pay..
- or on handling politics..
I want to understand what makes more sense :
1)buy a NA+RERA plot (value say 25L through loan) around the upcoming ring road in Pune. This seems to be an opportunity(appreciation) and risk(IT layoffs, hype etc) both
Vs
To keep it simple, let's keep an investment window of 10Y. The goal is to build wealth.
PS- I've an apartment of decent livable size in well connected locally.
I would appreciate suggestions with a respectful, open and constructive mindset than a response from a frustrated or judgmental mindset- I know you are a smart, intelligent and knowledgeable person.
