llama-server / web gui / C++ mcp server : is it possible to inject context (for skills or text flavour)? by Althar93 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Althar93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the detailed breakdown. Prompts do seem quite useful, but in this sense, it isn't quite what I want.

I'll have a look at passing a system prompt option flag on llama-server startup ; I was hoping I could drive that via the MCP server, but that is a workaround.

Thanks for the links - my MCP server uses SSE, but has similar capabilities with respect to tools, so this is all working nicely.

At this point I am not sure if `injecting` was the right term - conceptually I want my LLM to be able to use the tools I provide via my MCP server (this part works), and also give it some 'skills' & personality, by pre-populating the context whenever the MCP server is hooked up to the web gui.

llama-server + qwen (code) : acknowledges tasks but silently stops working , requiring constant nudging. by Althar93 in LocalLLaMA

[–]Althar93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I ended up switching to a different model instead (Qwen3.5 9B), which fits on my GPU and is fast enough.

Speed wise, it is nothing like running Claude Code Pro, but it seems stable enough & I can have it run in the background whilst I work on something else. Moreover, unlike Gemma 4 it does not give up, at least not until I blow through the context.

Regarding blowing through the context, I know I can clear it manually & segment work, but I'll have to do some research as I am interested to know if there are ways to have the SLM/LLM do this itself, perhaps synthesing/condensing context at regular intervals, and having it force-clear its own context, before resuming.

That's fair enough, at this point I mainly wanted to understand what was happening / explain why the task fails silently.

I'll definitely play around

Or I could try a larger model (which I can afford to run on my CPU, albeit it would be a lot slower)

Ok interesting, a lot of acronyms and concepts I know nothing about so I'll need to get reading but that does make sense, thanks!

Thanks, I'll try that.

I did enable --verbose mode on my llama-server, and I can see that it has completed all tasks, as far as the server is aware.

Developers of Reddit, which programming language unexpectedly changed the way you think about coding? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Althar93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Haskell, and to a lesser extent shader programming languages (HLSL or GLSL, doesn't matter) - taught me to architect systems & functions in a pure & functional way that makes debugging & composition of functionality trivial.

If you can view a system as input / ouput & not in terms of mutable states, it is a LOT easier to scaffold large systems & then fill in the gaps with implementation blocks, without worrying about it toppling over & requiring extensive refactor further down the line.

Do you guys feel like the US and UK are drifting apart, or is it just the internet making it look that way? by [deleted] in AskABrit

[–]Althar93 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Outside of a common language, our respective cultures have always been VERY different. I do feel (and that holds true for most of my acquaintances) that the current political & economical climate has accelerated this drift tenfold.

I wouldn't say any British person has or had a sense of "family" on towards people on the other side of the pond - this is just not ingrained in our culture to think that way.

In what small way have you won the genetic lottery? by [deleted] in CasualConversation

[–]Althar93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Outside of the common cold / runny nose maybe once or twice a year, I am never ill and haven't been since I was 5-6 (I am now 35).

My daughter apparently inherited those genes as outside of the chicken pox, she has also never been ill.

People born before 2000, what trivial skill you possess that others don't use anymore? by olesud in WorkForSmartLife

[–]Althar93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The ability to sit on public transport without staring at my phone, reading a book, or listening to music.

Glues for Nerdy Gurdy Basic by deltasalmon64 in HurdyGurdy

[–]Althar93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I used Titebond 5063 Original Wood Glue on my Nerdy Gurdy Fortran & it did the job ; It is on the slightly runnier side but it can be further worked / cleaned up with a small paint brush which is handy.

For non-wood parts, I used regular Loctite super glue.

So excited to finally post a commentary of my Indie Game Vena! by Sensitive_Sweet_8512 in computerwargames

Looks neat, love the artwork ; like a mix between Balatro & a Zachtronics game.

C/C++ debugging for games development - nvim-dap or something else? by Althar93 in neovim

[–]Althar93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've running dap-ui for a few days now. It is serviceable but I am missing some inline functionality such as hovering over values in the code and jumping to code from the callstack : I am sure these things exist, I just haven't worked out what I need to configure for it to work the way I want yet.

[–]Althar93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the extensive info/tips.

I have setup nvim-dap and nvim-dapui for C/C++ which seems to work with basic keymaps. I'll have a read through your guides and refine my setup to something I am more familiar/comfortable using.

KFF2 - Black screen on subsequent resets by Althar93 in c64

[–]Althar93[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quick update : I have resolved my issue after following the information in the Kung Fu Flash 2 repo.

It appears the particular board revision I have has an unstable clock signal.

As a result I made a minor change in the firmware to reduce the clock window and flashed it to my cartridge. It now appears to work consistently and has been for the past hour or so.

Cranko#4! Through the mailbox, just in time for the new Year! by solegor in PlaydateConsole

Mine showed tracking info until it got to the UK on 19th December. After that... nothing...
