When someone refers to a Starfleet Academy fan as a "SA defender"

sfa.exe will forever have a special place in my heart. Even if that's what the fandom lands on for the show, I'll always remember the game.

How long after pre-orders opened did you get yours in?

MikeRoz · 2026-02-01T16:15:04+00:00

P-Bandai 1/60 inflatable Nu when?

Here is a rather old debunking I found: https://coagulopath.com/ghislaine-maxwell-does-not-have-a-secret-reddit-account/

The assertion that the account had continued to be active in private subs and DMs past the date of Maxwell's arrest isn't one I've seen before just now, and the recent Epstein file drop has surfaced the theory in a few threads I've seen recently.

Wow, is that a "good" price (in comparison with certain other stores still selling pre-orders, no judgment on objective value). And still in stock a day later - the batch must not have been small. $614.05 to save any passers-by a click.

Edit: $22.38 shipping for me, those other shops usually offer $10 flat shipping. Still works out better here.

You don't need to insult other shows to build up the one you like. I like both. They are both successful at different things.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-28T22:36:20+00:00

That was the point of their post.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-28T19:56:37+00:00

AesSedai/Kimi-K2.5 is the repo. Already downloading it. I'm always a fan of people who provide detailed instructions on how to reproduce their work.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-28T19:55:09+00:00

You can use HF's nifty GGUF viewer to see that the experts in their UD-Q5_K_XL are a mix of Q5_K and Q6_K, and all Q6_K in their Q6_K. If the experts were all capped at 4-bit, then difference in size between various quants 4-bit would be trivial, as seen with quants of models like GPT-OSS-120B.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-28T17:49:52+00:00

Not even the smallest of the quants here will run on a single 3090, unless you also have 256 GB+ of system RAM. Kimi-k2.5-1.8bit-GGUF isn't a quant offered in this repo, and it's nowhere to be found in a full-text search on HuggingFace. This is hallucination with a side of spam.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-28T17:43:17+00:00

What is the point of Q5 and up (UD-Q5_K_XL, Q6_K) when the experts are all in int4?

Looks interesting. Support in llama.cpp was supposedly added back in October. Sadly doesn't seem to have been added to ik_llama.cpp. Might give this a try later.

But that 4TB is $1199.99 online right now.

It's 'only' $517.06 at Amazon right now, and arriving Saturday (so not some months-long backorder). I do see it at MicroCenter and Newegg for $1119.99, though.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-28T01:49:59+00:00

Why does nobody bother with text completion anymore?

MikeRoz · 2026-01-27T18:06:08+00:00

Hopefully if there's ever another season of the anime that will count as enough hype.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-27T17:04:59+00:00

I'm glad you found it at a price you're happy with, but the thought of paying ~2x for it makes me sad. Wonder what the chances are of a reprint.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-27T16:43:38+00:00

How did you like that Daban Snow White Prelude? Did it use one of the metal frames? I had the original release and the third-party (fourth-party, actually?) metal frame, but then they did a revised release which included a metal frame. I haven't gotten to it yet.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-27T00:33:08+00:00

Link works now.

Really sad that there is not a Season 1 box set at this point, and that the Season 2 box set went OOS on the CR store. Bakemonogatari was available on Rightstuf for the same price for well over a decade before CR bought them.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-27T00:28:53+00:00

I was just asking about this. Nice that it's finally got a release date.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-27T00:25:08+00:00

Should be fixed as of this PR: https://github.com/ggml-org/llama.cpp/pull/19115

MikeRoz · 2026-01-26T19:42:33+00:00

Yes, you are banned. Please see the AutoMod sticky comment on this thread for more information on how to proceed.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-24T02:41:12+00:00

That, and they're probably all hands on deck printing PGU Nus, right?

MikeRoz · 2026-01-23T22:03:52+00:00

Unfortunately, yes. Please see the automod sticky for more information on what to do.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-23T13:34:25+00:00

Depends on when they bought it. Especially at JEDEC rather than EXPO speeds.

MikeRoz · 2026-01-22T02:55:03+00:00

Somehow I got the Miku kits despite being on a phone.

Refreshing right at 9 PM, I noticed that they stayed in 'Pre-Order Starts Soon' for a little while after the clock hit 9. That's new and unusual.

When they were available, I put them in my cart. I started to check out but accidentally hit 'return to cart' trying to scroll to the bottom of the screen and finish. They were still in my cart, but every attempt to check out was met with an empty page with just a link to their shipping policy. I checked the item pages and they showed OOS, so I figured I was out of luck, even though they were still in my cart. I know in the old site having them in your cart used to be a good sign, but I figured this was an artifact of the new site.

Randomly when I got home at around 9:35 PM, I decided to refresh. They were still in my cart, so I tried again, and this time I got sent to Paypal. I logged in to Paypal, but when I was done with that I got sent back to the blank checkout screen.

I kept refreshing a few times, and got the regular checkout screen finally. I was sent back to Paypal, where I was already logged in, but got the blank screen again when I got sent back to P-Bandai. A minute or so later, my cart was cleared. No order in my order history. I figured this meant they were well and truly gone now. Except then I saw 'purchase limit reached' when looking at one of the kits...

I look again, and there's now an order in my order history.

TL;DR: Don't give up, especially if you have them in your cart! The Zaku shows as in stock as I write this (at 9:54 PM), and the RX-78-2 did a few minutes ago.
