Comment on Self-Hosted AI is pretty darn cool

“learned some things like Linux, command line, docker, and networking/pfsense” “I don’t consider myself technical”
Don’t sell yourself short, I work in IT and have colleagues on our helpdesk who would struggle endlessly with those concepts.
I hereby dub you a tech person, like it or not, those skills can and do pay the bills.

This made me smile. Thank you. The grass is always greener and I sometimes daydream of working in IT instead of healthcare. Maybe someday.
deuleb_biezelbob@programming.dev 5 weeks ago
Nah dont.
GissaMittJobb@lemmy.ml 5 weeks ago
Healthcare is pretty rough, I’d be willing to bet that the grass actually is greener in this case.
deuleb_biezelbob@programming.dev 5 weeks ago
I am actually considering switching to healthcare.
I’ve had a burnout: I wish it was due caring for people in need instead of a stupid deadline

Thank you for this. I consider myself technical and those words felt like a punch in the gut.
chagall@lemmy.world 5 weeks ago
I’m sorry if I offended. I can’t code or understand existing code and have always felt that technical people code. I guess I should expand my definition. Again, sorry that my words felt like a punch in the gut… wasn’t my intention at all.

It depends heavily on what you do and what you’re comparing yourself against. I’ve been making a living with IT for nearly 20 years and I still don’t consider myself to be an expert on anything, but it’s a really wide field and what I’ve learned that the things I consider ‘easy’ or ‘simple’ (mostly with linux servers) are surprisingly difficult for people who’d (for example) wipe the floor with me if we competed on planning and setting up an server infrastructure or build enterprise networks.
And of course I’ve also met the other end of spectrum. People who claim to be ‘experts’ or ‘senior techs’ at something are so incompetent on their tasks or their field of knowledge is so ridiculously narrow that I wouldn’t trust them with anything above first tier helpdesk if even that. And the sad part is that those ‘experts’ often make way more money than me because they happened to score a job on some big IT company and their hours are billed accordingly.
And then there’s the whole other can of worms on a forums like this where ‘technical people’ range from someone who can install a operating system by following instructions to the guys who write assembly code to some obscure old hardware just for the fun of it.

I was just talking to a member of my devops team and I was talking about this exact thing and they said “I didn’t know you could attach a GPU to a container”. So, yup, just stay on top of this stuff at home and you’ll do fine

Who uses GPUs for AI anyway. They cost more than a car sometimes
RisingSwell@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 weeks ago
Can confirm, the GPU in my laptop costs more than all but my newest car.

With how low the average person is with tech skills, it’s very easy to be top 10%.

Now that you’ve dubbed OP a tech person…
Hey OP, can you help me fix my printer? It’s only printing “RED RUM RED RUM” for some reason.

Have you tried giving it red rum?

Oh, and make sure you hold it out with the insides of your arms exposed, it’ll feel less threatening that way.
