  Had to look this up on Memory Alpha. The base principle for both replicators and transporters is confusingly termed “matter-energy conversion”, yet doesn’t appear to create matter from pure energy. Rather, it seems to use energy to convert matter from/to atomic or subatomic particles (for replicators and transporters, respectively). During the process, the matter is “energized”, and - I’m no expert, but - I’d imagine the subatomic particles in the transporter’s matter stream exhibit energy-like properties.

  As a longtime Heroes of thr Storm player, it had just the level of ability and territory progression I wanted.

  For LLMs, I’ve had really good results running Llama 3 in the Open Web UI docker container on a Nvidia Titan X (12GB VRAM).

  For image generation tho, I agree more VRAM is better, but the algorithms still struggle with large image dimensions, ao you wind up needing to start small and iterarively upscale, which afaik works ok on weaker GPUs, but will gake problems.
