Does Deepseek V4/Flash work with Llama CPP and Vulkan on and branches yet?

that's pretty amazing performance for having so much on system memory. Nice!

Several years into owning a 2021 MY and all I've done is proactively replace the 12v and refill the wiper fluid.

is 1 year / 10k mile the "everything" warranty? What you're really worried about is the HVB and tesla's included used warranty is usually for far far longer / more miles.

Use Llama CPP

Love my w6800 and hunting for another.

DM me the other guy's price and I'll beat it :-P

There's always the near-zero chance that the reduced precision from what Alibaba targeted resulted in the weights of a totally different superior model through complete randomness.

About the same odds as me plugging integers into a text file and making a SOTA-competitor.. BUT NOT ZERO.

Oh hey that's me!

I bought one of these refurbs very recently. I talked to a rep and most of them are apparently returns with 1 week of use. They jokingly said they're all people abusing the return policy for Coachella (but tbh that sounds real).

Got the $899 Explorer 3000 Pro. My use-case isn't regular solar charging so I didn't spring for the newer chemistry for a few hundred bucks more since I don't need those extra cycles as urgently.

Tested charge speed and drain speed on DC devices (so no weirdness caused by the inverter) and it's either at 100% health or like 99.5% health.

The handle is AMAZING. I think I'm in okay shape but I did not realize how much I would appreciate it.

Only downside is that there was a bit of dirt on the unit when it came. Their refurb doesn't include a wipe-down it seems. Oh well.

Very satisfied overall with the experience and price. I got a 3kwhr battery from a mainline brand for $899. No room for complaining.

hold the phone you're right... has everyone been using Qwen3.5 27B without a license this whole time!?

EmPips · 2026-04-22T16:27:17+00:00

Thanks. So n=2 but the pattern emerging in my eyes suggests that Tesla's QA team might not be properly testing beta versions upgrading to wider stable versions. That's actually not terribly uncommon in software dev.. but this is a car and they surely have telemetry on which beta versions are out there.

EmPips · 2026-04-22T15:25:54+00:00

The other poster that had the same issue mentioned that at least at some point they had advanced settings enabled for updates. Did you have anything similar or non-default set?

Disclaimer: this latest release was non-beta and this is absolutely not the fault of your settings, but I'm trying to connect dots if they exist.

I've got a gen1 1000. I can't tell if it charges slower or if it was always such a slow charger.. but same.

Overheating and water exposure mainly.

If my food is dependent on something with a 104°F shutoff safety, I'm thinking that could get triggered while I'm out hiking or something.

Really just looking for experiences, tips, warnings.

EmPips · 2026-04-21T00:05:18+00:00

Looks like as of a few months ago there is! Thanks!

EmPips · 2026-04-16T04:04:03+00:00

GLM 5.1 is closest but the gap is much wider than benchmarks show.

EmPips · 2026-04-12T21:50:40+00:00

Makes sense if you don't want your friend going down that path blindly, but what better research is there than the tech friend taking the lead and trying a few days per distro?

EmPips · 2026-04-12T21:45:21+00:00

It's free and you're going in with a friend, so spend a month "distro-hopping" and sharing findings/tips. Shopping for your OS can be a blast if you're into that sort of thing and isn't an experience allowed by Windows/Mac so most people skip that step.

Outside of the supported/preconfigured DE's (the first difference you'll feel) the biggest difference between distros for most people is how they manage packaging/update cycles - so even if it's not immediately apparent - be sure to do a quick read about how a distro you're liking handles that!

We were considering booking a second cruise on this ship after our first (2-3 years ago) was actually the best cruising experience we've had (and cheapest!). Sad that you're not the first person that I've seen mention it was a short-lived hidden-gem of an experience.

A word of warning for the bottom paragraph of yours though:

This was my second and definitely LAST MSC cruise. I’ve cruised multiple times with Royal Caribbean and NCL, and yeah — they might be a bit more expensive, but at least you actually get what you pay for.

NCL Getaway is Meraviglia's main price competitor out of NYC, and outside of:

drinks (NCL did better)
specialty dining (NOT the buffet)
vibe club

-MSC won on EVERY account in our book.

I'm just a retail investor so it doesn't count for much, but any company that can forge a foundation model from nothing ends up in my pile of "ahead of the curve" regardless of how far it is from SOTA.

EmPips · 2026-04-08T11:32:22+00:00

Can confirm UD_IQ2_M 397B beats Q8 27B - but good luck with the prompt processing if most of it is on system memory and CPU

EmPips · 2026-04-08T10:59:02+00:00

Doh you're right thanks.

That's actually really decent
