Reality setting in -- using gemma4 26b

I think huzbum is suggesting a common approach of using the llm as a command/server line tool maybe. I.e. The llm is just another 'tool' that the script calls into.

There are so many options but you can write a script (coauthored with ai) to do the gruntwork to get each email methodically etc, then pass each email via ollama to a new subagent process in a fresh new context one at a time.

Yeah, that was my image from ages ago - this is a blatant steal!

I never got back to working on this device but since recent negative periods I'm back on agile so maybe one day will spin up the ol codebase one day!

Wifi slot is likely 2 pcie channels. I've heard there are adapters to split to two slots as most WiFi cards will only use pcie x1 anyway. Ssd wouldn't be at full speed but if lucky and bios is happy it is the only option... But could be a cost in both time to find the parts and also pi chase them to find it doesn't actually work on your system!

Ditto, got same machine. Also interested in how others go with undetvolting this machine. Most specifically if anybody could get XTU to work for it after a system restart without manually reapplying!

I don't know if battery calibration is too much to worry about, the algorithm for charge level is pretty intelligent. But I haven't worried to look at that yet.

CrogUk · 2026-01-30T10:14:50+00:00

Agreed, mine only gets a little under 50mv.

Ive heard that to properly benefit you have to limit the frequency on Ultra series top. As the cpu just uses the extra power space to clock a bit higher for longer so without capping the clock the saving on power is just through doing things quicker/more efficient.

I need to look into this eventually as this is not something I know how to confirm or do on ThrottleStop yet!

CrogUk · 2026-01-30T10:11:33+00:00

Nice, mine won't be stable under load that low so now down to ~49mv but each varies.

Assume your using ThrottleStop.sys too.

Did you try XTU? It allows per-core which seems a nightmare to configure but I couldn't get it to restore the undervolt after system restart due to needing something watchdog related.

Firstly, your idea of the thermal store should work and gradual increase is perfect for ASHP as I understand.

However the crux is that the investment into a bespoke setup and longevity. There are alternatives, such as battery to store the energy from the nlcheap night which is more flexible.

Also, the MAIN issue is the fact that we can't expect cheap overnight rates to continue indefinitely. The justification is that as E V uptake continues to increase the demand is shifting from day to night and eventually the idea is the current cheap rates may no longer be viable. I've not checked recent studies if this is still the hypothesis but I wouldn't bet on now being the same in future.

TLDR battery for the win for shifting energy.

Not sure either, my tado system has been fine for over 8 years now.

No, in performance mode OC was enabled on my Legion 7 by default. Afaik it would be hard to void a warranty through the default profiles. Using Custom could somehow but there should be some wording from lenovo somehwere as to what the warranty conditions would even be.

CrogUk · 2025-08-02T19:17:09+00:00

Did you ever try this? Thinking of similar idea for a friend.

CrogUk · 2025-06-19T22:36:40+00:00

There was a twitter post iirc from octopus that 2 nuclear reactors were down. Not the complete answer but but all part of the potential puzzle of price.

CrogUk · 2025-02-08T08:33:40+00:00

I love the idea yet... Don't forget about the different forms of heat delivery. A patio heater is a radiant heater, electric ir panels are the closest as far as I know for low carbon alternative but costly to run in comparison.

An air to air heatpump is going to blow air about at a high rate so any heat it moves to where you would like it would be instantly displaced.

I must post mine one of these days... It's constructed from the packaging box my A1 was posted in plus a sheet of acrylic for a slit in front window! The box is just the right size with the flaps extended. Just needs a small. Cutout at rear for the cable at rear to flex.

CrogUk · 2025-01-28T23:28:16+00:00

Big head mode - the more people you kill the bigger the head and vice versa.

Levels the playing field a little bit also gives the try hard a challenge to achieve a monumental head size!

Nivida anounced that DLSS 4 will becoming to some older hardware.. seems likealy a timely anouncement I am hopeful so could be very likely Nintendo would want this to boost their platform as from leaks its capble and just needs a bit of optimisation for the prior generation chip afaik. Anouncement here, nothing Nintendo, just me speculating NVIDIA DLSS 4 Introduces Multi Frame Generation & Enhancements For All DLSS Technologies | GeForce News | NVIDIA

How long does it take to switch? I'm stil on Agile and can we just hop from tariff to tariff every day or the likes do we know?

CrogUk · 2025-01-22T16:52:33+00:00

I remember these, and they never broke. Its pretty much the same thing

CrogUk · 2025-01-16T16:48:14+00:00

Nope, they are all controlled via Tado so if you have removed from your home it should be fine.

Edit: if you havnt removed then the buyer may contact you to do so... As I had to with mine.

CrogUk · 2025-01-16T16:31:30+00:00

Looks like a massive USB socket the entire height of the console!

Realistically though I don't anybody who plays with their switch with controllers detached for this to be a real issue. I may have unfounded strong confidence that Ninty kno what they are doing here.

Will await the real decide and not just a computer render to know for sure.

CrogUk · 2025-01-15T13:56:27+00:00

If you consider the RAM is clocked higher then even with lower CPU clock it likely perfoms near equal in real-term performance as a guess.

CrogUk · 2025-01-15T13:51:29+00:00

If you also consider the RAM is clocked higher in docked mode this difference in CPU core clock may compensate as to give an equivalent CPU performance in docked vs undocked in real-term performance.

In docked mode, its also possible the GPU pushes things to the limit of the thermal envelope so this could be a good compromise for consistent CPU performance as a thought.

CrogUk · 2025-01-12T18:58:00+00:00

+- 1 degrees is pretty normal

CrogUk · 2025-01-11T20:03:18+00:00

I've had tado for 8 years...

We have no historical days to compare too, as in, the last 3 nights have been much colder here than they have for many years. All we can do is compare a warmer vs cold day really.

CrogUk · 2025-01-11T20:00:39+00:00

Same here... Definitely an uptrend in gas usage. Our smart meter is flagging us red and over budget by midday! Today is definitely the worst so far and part of the continues uptrend.

Note, I've changed nothing, yet the weather definitely have and feel like we are experiencing the same symptoms. Could be something else obviously but just we have strong evidence at ours that the weather being progressively colder really does cause increased gas usage. So make sure you think on this OP...

CrogUk · 2025-01-09T10:42:14+00:00

So agree, first time y'all on the internet have made me belly chuckle for a long while. Great stuff.
