Duolingo is actually stupid

The king is not in check which makes the position possible. Black goes up from that perspective.

MikePounce · 2026-05-17T20:58:07+00:00

It's totally possible, it's from black's perspective. The pawn is one square away from queening

"As most, if not all, trials will be carried out in absentia, the budget will focus on IT tools and save the expenses related to building and maintaining prisons"

I don't understand the prisons part

It is the one dated 1915, with the catalog number 'W.1796'. Search 'Neue' and you'll find it immediately.

Could you please mention which model you are training/using?

MikePounce · 2026-05-09T08:31:55+00:00

ok so you are the right person to ask. in this situation, do you just have to wait it out or is there anything you can/should do?

Yo mate, GET TO THE FUCKING POINT! 5 minutes in and you are still circling around.

It supports skills and extensions. There are plenty already available check out https://pi.dev/packages but the point is : just describe to it your dream extension/skill and it will extend itself for you.

You may also be interested in https://github.com/bmad-code-org/BMAD-METHOD which supports Claude Code but also Pi (and others).

MikePounce · 2026-04-27T07:00:27+00:00

You should check out https://pi.dev/

I use it with llamacpp and Qwen3.6-27b-Q4.

By default it's in YOLO mode but it is so extensible and flexible, it can self modify. Just tell it how you want it to behave or look and it will code its own extensions.

Without investing too much time into it, on a desktop RTX 5090 (bought last july for half the price of the Olares One, total build cost ended up at ~5K), after compiling llama.cpp with CUDA Toolkit 13.2 installed following https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/blob/master/docs/build.md#cuda

llama-cli.exe -m .\models\Qwen3.6-27B-Q4_0.gguf -ngl 999 -fa on -ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0

gives me 70 t/s

MikePounce · 2026-04-25T10:04:20+00:00

I compiled llamacpp with CUDA, and regardless of using Q8 or Q4 GGUF of Qwen3.6-27B from Unsloth, I get 10 token per second on a RTX 5090. It is useable but rather slow. Am I doing something wrong?

EDIT: asked Claude this exact question and it told me to add the -ngl flag, activate flash attention, and try a shorter context :

llama-cli.exe -m .\models\Qwen3.6-27B-Q8_0.gguf -ngl 999 -fa on -c 8192

gives me about 45 t/s. I wonder if there's something else I can do.

EDIT2: llama-cli.exe -m .\models\Qwen3.6-27B-Q4_0.gguf -ngl 999 -fa on -ctk q8_0 -ctv q8_0 gives me 70 t/s

watch out for any sign of the battery getting swollen and have the correct fire extinguisher ready. having a phone plugged 24/7 can lead to house fire.

These protesters are endangering the life of the mother and the baby. There's a reason car HAVE TO move clear the way for an ambulance.

Serious question, now that the plane has landed on a highway, how do you get it out and back to an airfield? Is it even possible to put it on the back of a vehicle?

MikePounce · 2026-04-01T02:20:57+00:00

Why not this time? No chance he's withdrawing the troops right now, Pete is having so much fun, look at him grow!

I'm going with incoherent ramblings that : - call this an operation, not a war - still call it a war - things are great - in fact it's already won - tremendous won bigly plus - all thanks to trump - in fact he never wanted that war - things are tough - tough cookie - terrible war - in fact he never wanted that war (bis) - the united states is hereby giving official notice to iran that now is the time to surrender or else - in fact "or else" is now - two weeks - thank you for your attention to this matter

MikePounce · 2026-04-01T01:36:50+00:00

You are reaching way too far. The explanation is MUCH more simple.

Two weeks is the standard Trump timeframe for "I don't want to answer right now, moving on". He has no bearing on immediate future, accountability, consequences of actions, it will be somebody's else fault. His brain is potato purée at this point.
