Abstract: Scaling laws relate model quality to compute budget (FLOPs), but practitioners face wall-clock time constraints, not compute budgets. We study optimal model sizing under fixed time budgets from 5 minutes to 24 hours on consumer GPUs (RTX 4090). Across 70 runs spanning 50M--1031M parameters, we find: (1)~at each time budget a U-shaped curve emerges where too-small models overfit and too-large models undertrain; (2)~optimal model size follows $N^* \propto t^{0.60}$, growing \emph{faster} than Chinchilla's $N^* \propto C^{0.50}$, with $\alpha = 0.60 \pm 0.07$ robustly exceeding compute-optimal across all sensitivity analyses; (3)~a \emph{dual U-shape mechanism}: short-budget U-curves arise from compute bottlenecks, while long-budget U-curves emerge from data bottlenecks (overfitting), with an intermediate regime where the U-curve temporarily disappears. These findings have immediate implications for researchers training on consumer hardware, where wall-clock time -- not FLOPs -- is the binding constraint. We release all code, logs, and 70 experimental configurations.

Weißt du, wie viele deiner Shop-Seiten Google tatsächlich crawlt? Bei den meisten E-Commerce-Projekten: unter 60 %. 🕷️
Google hat ein begrenztes Crawl-Budget pro Domain. Jede Filterseite, jede Session-URL, jeder Parameter frisst davon. Große Shops mit 500.000 URLs haben oft das Problem, dass wichtige Produktseiten wochenlang nicht gecrawlt werden.
Logfile-Analyse zeigt sofort wo das Budget verschwendet wird. Nicht raten – messen.

TripIt is great, but it has been stagnant for the last decade or so.
I am giving Trek (https://github.com/mauriceboe/TREK) a go. It might be vibe coded, but it seems to do the job.
I just have to add nicer imports from emails.…
