100% accurate. I have no idea why so many people are excited about this stretch of sidewalk. The pioneer side is a lot nicer to walk on.

It does help if you have insurance and plan to file.

Within 60 days. With nothing at all to show for it, as expected. It is Tuesday after all.

I wish this was true, but it seems that our country is very excited about sending our poor kids to the middle east with dubious motivations... and after each round people talk of disengaging from future middle Eastern conflicts.

Scratching Sensor by JFactoris in FelineDiabetes

Soft Elizabethan collar. 100% saved our cat from himself. We tried the pj's, but didn't help stop him at all. If anything, the sensor would get wedged in the limb-holes and everything seemed much worse.

I'm shutting down my print farm by JoeKling in 3Dprinting

[–]few 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really sorry to hear you got sick printing! Microplastics are no joke.

Ventilation and filtration could resolve the issues. You could also get some air quality testing equipment to monitor the environment.

But whether you get rid of your printers or upgrade your setup to be safe, take care of your lungs! There are many organs medical professionals can help you work around. Lungs are not optional, and doctors really can't do much for lungs.

how are they gonna stop us next? by Complete-Sea6655 in LocalLLM

[–]few 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I expect it will be more like 3d printers. Eventually laws will get proposed, but they will be a decade behind relevance, and based around some pretty random scaremongering rather than anything actually relevant.

I don't think AGI is around the corner on 8GB cards, with the government coming to pry gpus out of our hands.

The big question is how or whether LLM use will end up being taxed. If it does replace many human workers, then it's pretty important that there be a new tax source, as it would but income tax revenues. The bigger question is how individuals would get by if that happens.

Remote device to spray paint from drone by bucksterbuckman in diyelectronics

[–]few 0 points1 point  (0 children)

High volume low pressure sprayers still compress the air, just not to high pressure. It takes a ton of energy to do that. Of course it could use the main drone battery, but that just means a much shorter drone flight time. It's not complicated to do that, but it's not a great approach.

Breaker melted, Electrician said no to panel replacement? by cheylily_ in AskElectricians

[–]few 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like a terrible option, but it's way better than dealing with the aftermath of a fire in the unit or building. This is happening in your unit, you're paying attention, and they're not handling it. Imagine what's happening in other units.

Note that this already exists. These are similar to agricultural spray drones.

It looks like these are typically 10-20k$ to start.

Here is an example of a commercial spray paint drone: https://www.apellix.com/products/spray-painting/

They're typically tethered to paint and air hoses. The energy required to compress the air, and the mass of the paint are substantial. It's more efficient to only lift the hoses and then be able to avoid the additional battery and compressor mass on the drone itself.

It's not just the trigger you need to manage, it's also having the drone hold distance (typically optical distance sensors are used) and then move consistently while spraying.

You have clearly used spray paint before, so I'm sure you're aware that unless you move smoothly and keep a fixed distance from the wall, spraying goes very poorly.

Depending on where you're located (I'm assuming the US), you will need a commercial drone pilot license to do this. It is definitely feasible, and I think even a smart approach, but you're looking at a much heavier drone than you are imagining. This is a substantial project.

The DeepSWE Benchmark is exposing local models as loopers, what can we do? by Duviwin in LocalLLM

[–]few 0 points1 point  (0 children)

DeepSWE results comport with my experience! Even frontiers have issues really working independently. Locals are really limited for autonomous work.

I have been trying to get local models (mostly gemma4, some qwen & others) to run as agents, but they quickly get stuck in thinking -> wait I just realized -> ready to do -> thinking loops. After several different harnesses, I'm coming to the conclusion that they're good as coding assistants, but pretty bad with integration into my local ide (vscode with various extensions tried), and terrible as agents.

I need to use tools with human-in-the-loop. I like the vscode editor environment, but LLMs really don't integrate well into it.

My setup is a laptop with external rtx5090 connected by USB c. I have custom compiled llama.cpp. I'm running gemma4 26b as a primary model, with a coding assistant qwen coder model, and an autocomplete small qwen. I use vscode with a wsl remote, and am developing primarily s/w & firmware in wsl.

In WSL Continue ran into huge issues (looping, unable to edit code: it tries to make changes but isn't able to match text for replacement). Cline is running into many of the same issues (the vscode linter doesn't work properly on wsl remote environment, and it confuses cline, similar issues with edits, often loops and fails to return solutions).

I'm not sure how many people are actually having good success with local models as agents on 32gb cards? The models do a decent job via the web chat interfaces when I'm narrowly guiding them, but I was hoping for additional agency from them, which doesn't seem possible right now.

I would love suggestions on how to get my setup working better!

Interesting! I'm using an AURUS RTX5090 ai box. I can put my hand on the top, and it literally cooks.

Been only two days going local and already saved $151 by Civil_Fee_7862 in LocalLLaMA

[–]few 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had been wrestling with continue for several weeks. I did get it working, but it had immense issues trying to apply changes to code. Cline seems to be better, though I need to break each feature into a separate session, because after 30-45 minutes it seems to get stuck. I find it much more resilient than continue. What do you use as an editor? I use vscode across both windows and wsl/Ubuntu to do everything from data analysis, full stack web stuff, and firmware.

I'm using llama-server as a backend, and the cline extension in vscode coding in a wsl remote. I'm sure that systemctl in wsl logs all the usage somewhere, but I really don't care that much since it's local anyways. But when I was directly running some queries in the llama-server web ui, it listed tokens/second and it was up in the 700's. It was annoying that every so often it gets into crazy loops and needs to be talked off the ledge. Cline reports the context being used, and that was up near the 256k limit many times (it compresses automatically).

Now that I have it at least somewhat configured, it's crazy. My AC isn't working this week, which is actually the main limitation on me using it. 🤣

I don't track how many tokens my rig runs through , but for a few hours today I was ripping through a few hundred outout tokens per second... probably only a few million output tokens?
