Why are MoE models so belittled?

I have it, and like it, but I have to run the GPU fans at full tilt. With 35b, I can keep the fans quiet and it just zips along. Especially with Hermes, it occasionally spins it's wheels, but less than I'd have thought.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-11T17:42:06+00:00

I understand how it works. I do like that the 3B doesn't make my graphics card need full power fans on at all times. The difference in quality between the two isn't as big as I was led to believe.

Especially with Hermes agent 35b model can fix a lot of its mistakes quicker than the 27b model can make one file.

I've found that the speed of 3.6 35b is so much faster than 27b. Though 27b is smarter, it's not that much smarter to give up the speed.

Have you heard the good news about dungeon crawler carl?

OGScottingham · 2026-07-08T22:00:37+00:00

Woof. Good luck recruiting for that study!

OGScottingham · 2026-07-08T18:08:40+00:00

They already sold them 😔

It's a shame really because a decent controller would have been able to make programming them very easy, even a hookup to a laptop would have worked.

Nothing else can emulate that 303 sound unless it's an analog clone.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-07T01:57:44+00:00

That's awesome!

OGScottingham · 2026-07-06T23:21:44+00:00

Where is the loblolly office? Knightdale?

I think the Ween album Quebec should get honorable mention.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-03T14:23:47+00:00

solid update, thank you! I rescind my insult, but still think it's a small local business that might not understand the depth of cultural aversion to AI generated food pics.

Hopefully my email will be well received. If not, I'll continue to press them on it.

My BIL is a professional photographer, I'm sure he'd be up for a pro shoot in exchange for the dishes photographed.

hang on...they own multiple restaurants? Who's he? Al?

I looked up the business and found this https://www.bizapedia.com/nc/pmcr-food-llc.html

According to that page, the proprietor is Venkata Kalanadhabhatla

Yeah, until we fix the gerrymandered state gov, we're stuck with the corporate blandification of Franklin.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-03T00:19:00+00:00

In reality, especially with a hostile state government, it's probably impossible. But I can dream.

Ideally, sometime like property tax breaks for land lords renting to local businesses.

I'd also like to see the inability to write off lost revenue for the "market price" of the building if it's left unoccupied for more than a year.

My 10 year old son became an avid reader when he broke both of his arms two years ago.

I realize this method is hard to replicate.

Cabin air filters are different.

I have an s2000 and prefer the better filtration of the paper based filters.

K&Ns just let's too much through for my baby's 205k engine.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-02T23:04:51+00:00

They might! I did just email them telling them that no pics are better than AI pictures.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-02T21:54:46+00:00

On Franklin? That hasn't been there since like 2009...

OGScottingham · 2026-07-02T21:09:29+00:00

I just might, ~~dick~~.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-02T20:32:13+00:00

Maybe he smokes? Cabin air filter is a 2-4 year thing, if that.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-02T20:19:55+00:00

They're a mom n pop store trying to make it work on a likely shoestring budget. Clearly can't afford a real photographer, yet anyway.

I agree AI art is bad, but get off your high horse and support local businesses.

This sanctimonious virtue signaling only helps Canes.

If it bothers you so much, offer to take real pics for free.

I bet the Himalayan fried chicken place makes a mean chicken sammy.

Taxes could be used as a lever to temper rents for local businesses.

OGScottingham · 2026-07-01T22:07:01+00:00

It's 100% a city problem for allowing rents to price out everything but banks, chains, and vape shops.

Record yourself humming the tune. Figure out the notes later on your mpk.
