I mean, like I have been researching hardware to use with LLM, I typically keep notes as I learn and find references over the course of a few weeks. It would be better if I had a place to post something like this as I am collecting interesting references. I typically share the best ones and ask questions here and there. I often find sources of info where people are posting and asking in a similar way, but I rarely find someone in a similar circumstance that has posted a more complete summary.
For example, I spent a day bruit forcing a bunch of telemetry data to see what kinds of GPUs people were actually using on Linux with AI tools. The spreadsheet data is not polished in a way that is very conducive to making a post by itself, but in the context of someone trying to figure out what to buy under a similar set of constraints, that messy data would be an awesome reference. Like, at the time, there were several data points I omitted while focusing on what I was interested in, only to learn that many of these are important and would probably cause tension if I shared what I have as a single source without context.
That is just one example out of many. I’m always working on projects like this, but I don’t share much of the details. I would like to find others that have similar projects and share these kinds of details in a more ongoing blog type reference format.
Seems like you are already in the right place. Find a community in Lemmy called LLMs, AI, or whatever else is appropriate and post.if the community is dead you might be the person that brings it to life :)
Like I said, there are may little details that only have value with more context.
I’ve posted some stuff and gone back and edited in extra references and stuff, but this place is nothing like reddit (yet) for its reference quality. Like native searching is really really bad here. There is a lack of information in general, as is to be expected with so few users and how long this has been around. Still the native search functions are nearly useless for specificity and technical isolation of keywords. At this point I think it would be better to have places where information can accrue, so that people have a better chance of finding useful information in one place when the information is on the edge and outside of the mainstream.

I would like to see some more activity over there: !localllama@sh.itjust.works
