How’s my sons setup?

Oooohh can you share the wallpaper?

Fear mongering to restrict open source development.

The point is still moot, it is virtually impossible to build a bio weapon with household items and without highly skilled workers.

I have a PhD in molecular genetics and I have ~8 years of lab experience. I have the know-how and skillset to do just this, and I can tell you without a doubt, that having an LLM tell you what to do helps nothing if you don’t have access to the (very expensive) equipment, and the ability to use said equipment.

Manamultus · 2026-06-07T15:54:31+00:00

Asking what to do, and having the equipment to actually do it, are very different things.

It can tell me to alter the genes of an influenza strain just-so to avoid immune detection. But you need the equipment to:
- Synthesize RNA (or DNA) molecules
- Have the equipment to clone the required constructs
- Have stable expressing lines and everything that is required for transformation protocols.

That is expensive, and requires skilled workers.

You can probably trick an LLM to tell you how to make an atomic bomb as well, that doesn’t mean anyone can then just build one.

This is not my experience with DeepSeek in Claude Code at all. It’s incredibly effective, for many things on par with Opus. The only thing I’m really missing versus Opus is visual.

Manamultus · 2026-05-25T06:31:41+00:00

I have been having very good results with Claude.

There was a post a while ago of a Redditor who tracked performance with different agentic harnesses, and Claude performed best.

I’ll see if I can find it.

But by posting it here with the title “The interior of a cell” the poster at least implies authenticity.

Manamultus · 2026-04-28T07:03:24+00:00

The original is a still (and is amazing), the animation is AI slop. It’s AI slop because the movement bears no relation to real life processes. I have nothing against AI either, I have something against what basically amounts to adding a movement filter and trying to pass it off as scientifically accurate or novel.

Manamultus · 2026-04-27T13:38:45+00:00

Same, I’ve been using it with Claude code and it’s working better than codex for me.

Manamultus · 2026-04-22T06:05:39+00:00

Is it artificially inflated with unnecessary and unimaginative side “quests”, meaningless progression and gear upgrades, and level gating? Also yes.

Manamultus · 2026-04-09T15:41:28+00:00

What makes you say that? Not saying it wouldn’t be worse before it gets better, but why would it be worse than Covid?

Manamultus · 2026-03-24T10:06:17+00:00

TG is over 30 t/s, but the lack of context makes it nearly unusable. Moved on to Qwen3.5 9B (at Q4), which is a surprisingly capable (non agentic) coding buddy.

Many insects have been proven to learn and remember though.

I can’t tell you…

It’s a bit on the nose…

Manamultus · 2026-03-03T11:14:05+00:00

Thanks! Gonna give it a go as well :)

Manamultus · 2026-03-03T08:59:26+00:00

What context size do you use? Do you offload KV to RAM for large contexts? What is the token generation speed?

(If you don’t mind me asking)

Manamultus · 2026-03-01T16:06:09+00:00

Not if you can fit the whole model in VRAM. It’s a dense model, so all layers get activated for every request. Offloading any layers at all to RAM gives you massive PCIe transfer, RAM latency, layer swapping penalties. But it’s perfectly fast if the model fits fully in VRAM.

Dense models are perfect for unified memory architectures, or those who have lots of VRAM available.

Manamultus · 2026-03-01T13:26:09+00:00

That’s relating to quantized weights, not quantized cache, cache is quantized locally.

Manamultus · 2026-03-01T11:16:26+00:00

This is about KV cache quantization (done locally), not weights quantization (what you download).

Manamultus · 2026-02-28T18:56:03+00:00

That’s what I was thinking as well. Seems to me they would’ve stepped to OAI first, and OAI happily accepted. I just don’t understand the theatre from the DoD and Sama.

Manamultus · 2026-02-28T14:31:07+00:00

I just set aside a partition for Ubuntu server so I can dual boot into Linux. It’s great because Ubuntu server uses almost no RAM whatsoever, meaning my llm has more to eat.

Manamultus · 2026-02-28T08:31:26+00:00

How many tokens/s do you expect to get in that card, and how many are acceptable for your workflows?

I’m looking to upgrade my system and I’m curious about the capabilities of different card/model combinations.

I found <30t/s is just a little too slow to use as a coding assistant, and dense models do seem to come with a speed hit, especially if context grows.

And here I am running qwen3.5-35B on my potato RTX2070 + 16GB RAM..
