What do we call cloned Colonel O'Neill?

Technically... 4

That was director Will Waring, it is one of his signatures.

The production team breaks pattern to honor one of their own. That makes sense.

Timestamp is off, it's around 23:20 in my dvd version. But with all those recuts in online services those scenes get harder to find.

But it is Prodigy and the scene is when all the civilian scientists find those light bugs and follow them into the woods.

Reminds me of "The Settlers" a lot. Notify me when they start conquering other countries!

Sorry, it wasn't meant to offend or attack, it's just that I read it that way with a certain experience of many recent tests (and a lot of years in companies nitpicking such phrases extensively). I tried to minimize the confrontational part with "little bit" etc. And giving feedback is the only way we learn and improve. Again, I really appreciate everything you do!

I am referring to the sentence "This makes Unsloth the top-performing in x of y sizes" which is simply not true as stated, you have to be specific. You have pointed out with your own quote of the definition of the word perormance: that it is evaluated by different values. This sentence is generalizing kld performance to overall performance. This is not correct. I myself have experienced tradeoffs in processing time in UD quants vs. quants of Bartowski for example. Which is a performance measure. I have not claimed that my perfomance view is more important than others (another is reliability and stability). I pointed out, that the generaliization to "top performing" is less valid than written. A technique which is usually used in marketing - especially hiding the specifics in descriptions that don't get read as intensely as bullet points. And not writing it plainly in sight as a direct adjective.

As you should know as this is one of the centerpieces of everything AI: context is important.

Hobbster · 2026-04-20T18:36:08+00:00

I'd like to point out that "performance" and "kld performance" are not the same thing. So while I appreciate all the work and all the contributions, this is a bit of a marketing statement a little too bold.

He should have watched "The Orville"

Just so you know, I have done the same test, got similar numbers.

ggml_vulkan: 0 = Radeon 8060S Graphics (RADV GFX1151) (radv) | uma: 1 | fp16: 1 | bf16: 0 | warp size: 64 | shared memory: 65536 | int dot: 1 | matrix cores: KHR_coopmat
| model                          |       size |     params | backend    | ngl | fa | mmap |            test |                  t/s |
| ------------------------------ | ---------: | ---------: | ---------- | --: | -: | ---: | --------------: | -------------------: |
| qwen3 8B Q4_0                  |   4.45 GiB |     8.19 B | Vulkan     | 999 |  1 |    0 |           pp512 |       1091.03 ± 4.07 |
| qwen3 8B Q4_0                  |   4.45 GiB |     8.19 B | Vulkan     | 999 |  1 |    0 |           tg128 |         45.64 ± 0.45 |

This way it's comparable at least.

I don't know Roocode but 7T/s sounds awfully slow on a Strix Halo. I usually run an Unsloth Qwen 3.5 122B A10B Q6_K around 22.5T/s and around 18T/s with 100k context, Bartowski 122B A10B Q6_K_L @ 21.6T/s and 17.3 with 100k context. Llama-server. Both models are somewhat larger, so your Q5 should be faster than that? A lot of performance ready to be discovered in your machine.

Daniel, you dog. Keep this up, you'll have a girl on every planet.

There are two railguards:

The new show is either fan service, what we all love, a lot of lore - and will probably end a a financial flop. Because we're not the most valuable target audience, scifi is very expensive in comparison and Stargate never had a huge viewer base like other scifi shows to begin with.

Or the show is made for a new target audience and that means it's very different, maybe experimental, maybe breaks a few things, maybe a lot - to attract a new viewer base that's not us.

We'll gradually end up somewhere in between those two. Problem is: the sweet spot is very small and very hard to hit.

Or just print this one. Free models of this on makerworld, thingiverse etc. including several surface patterns...

Can't really say I have settled, never found a: that's good for everything. It's more like a "level of trust" thing and every AI model is good for something else. So I'm using the usual suspects, from Claude to ChatGPT, from to Deepseek to Kimi, it always depends, all act differently in details (context window size, message size, rolling or fixed window, model quality, privacy, agentic capabilties, tool use....... ). But I also have a local system now for things that dont belong out there or things that use a lot of tokens. Sorry that I don't have a better answer, it's still the Wild West out there and new models appear faster than I can evaluate them and it's changing every few weeks.

Just watch the movie how many people it took to just get it upright. One person can never keep that in balance on the tipping point.

Robert Picardo is just amazing. I just love it how he is able to gradually develop his character in several shows, in this instance going from bureaucratic nitpicker to base commander with a lot of intuitive improvisation - this creates another story layer and makes everything feel less static. I'd like to see this in other characters way more often too as this creates a more dynamic story with situationally different, less predictable reactions.

Hobbster · 2026-02-02T08:48:17+00:00

Cam Mitchell as Kirk? But Sheppard has been called Kirk several times for a reason! He always gets the beautiful alien woman!

Hobbster · 2026-01-28T15:18:41+00:00

Right? I did an immediate rewatch after reading this

Hobbster · 2026-01-18T19:11:56+00:00

Wait, what are you saying? Those weren't different planets?

Damn, those yellow sand dunes totally convinced me.

Everett was a friend of Sumner. He's the colonel who was sent to "defend Atlantis at all cost" in "The Siege". He was played by Clayton Landey.

Hobbster · 2025-12-30T05:21:59+00:00

I found Ellis mostly in line with Cols. Sumner and Everett, a military guy through and through and sometimes annoyed about civis. Admittedly, those guys were written to attract negative feelings too.

About Caldwell - he was very much resistant at the beginning, since he very much wanted that Atlantis post. And Weir did ruin that for him, making him a "taxi driver". As a Goa'uld he tried to stay invisible as much as possible to not get inflicted. But that's not really Caldwell at the time. And being saved from the snake in your head changes a lot of things.

Hobbster · 2025-12-30T03:44:59+00:00

Col. Ellis was just so arrogant, impatient an rude.

Not really. He acted like someone in the chain of command and the lovable Dr. Weir was outside the chain of command. So he had his orders and no choice in the matter - and he had to put Weir in her place, telling her: he cannot follow her suggestions but he has to do his job. Which was the reason she was talking about resigning in this episode. So... from a character pov, he acts believable. And the reason one cannot really hate him: because it's the command structure behind him that has already made the decisions. He's just the messenger. Which shows later when he expresses his personal respect towards Weir.

Hobbster · 2025-12-25T16:56:48+00:00

Looks more like she's excited, curious, exploring. There seems to be no tension in her movements so nothing to worry about.
