  • my i7 3700k with 8gb of ddr3 handles multiple 4k streams just fine. it doesn’t transcode on the fly super well, I transcode everything to hevc before putting it on the server. it will happily transcode a single 4k stream in the rare case a client doesn’t want hevc.

    point is, don’t target latest gen simply because it’s latest. 12th gen is definitely newer than I’d opt for, and while 16gb is cool, 32 is absolutely overkill for the use cases you listed (other than the llm, which others properly list as “don’t worry about it unless you have 3k in your back pocket to shell on gpus”)






  • this. the test environments we have need to be built manually and they haven’t been rebuilt in ages.

    apparently it was a multi month project to get it setup in the first place. nothing like trying to recreate a bug in dev and finding out there’s 1000 lines of different code in the sandbox (that’s also misbehaving but in new and fascinating ways)
