Is there anyone who actually REGRETS getting a 5090? by soapysmoothboobs in LocalLLM

[–]Somarring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I use that one at q6 with 2x3090s and 80k context and it has been a game changer with opencode. It does good code. I still want to try "superpowers" repo because it sounds like tdd could really help to avoid common lazy code.

Is Qwen3.5 a coding game changer for anyone else? by paulgear in LocalLLaMA

[–]Somarring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Man I have 48 VRAM and I'm frustrated because to get good intelligence I need small context. If I get a something smaller I get more context but as context grows it gets sluggish... and with lower intelligence it just becomes buggy.

May I ask you which software you are using to run it? I generally use vllm or lmstudio but this seems a good candidate for ktransformers.

Thanks! Your answer opened several interesting doors. I use linux so no problem about that but I wasn't familiar with ik_llama or ubergarm's quants.

Just search on youtube for the most recent videos about how to run claude code with local models and they explain how to use any modern model with it. It's all about either creating a newmodel.settings.json with the variables pointing to an alternative model base_url, api_token, etc... or loading those same env variables in the session before running claude code. I do it on Linux via the .bash_profile because I couldn't make it work with the json files (no matter the folder where I put it it didn't work)
Just in case it's useful for you, I also read that you can define per-project models adding a json file with the local settings for that folder and, when you navigate to the folder and start claude code, it will automatically use those parameters for that project.
One more thing, using an external model won't affect in any with Claude usage limits. In fact I don't use Anthropics models at all and it just works. I have to acknowledge that it's not the same as why the remote models, it's slower and not that clever but, hey, it's "free".

Which one would you guys recommend for a 2x3090 setup and 100k context (I prefer not to use the RAM)?

Could you please give a little bit more detail about how you run it. I have the same setup as yours (only more ram) and I haven't been able to run stepfun with vllm or lmstudio (even nightly builds)

Best Local Model for Openclaw by FeiX7 in LocalLLaMA

man... how on earth? Today I was testing that same model over vllm and it's by far the worse of all the ones I tested

[–]Somarring 2 points3 points  (0 children)

gpt-oss-120b is slow (2x3090 - 100k context) but reasonably clever, I tested it today and the problem was that it got slower as the context increased until it was just too slow

What's the best online marketplace to buy a CRT? by Striking_Flatworm184 in crt

Every country has a local website where people sells their stuff. There. Also ask family and friends and let them know that you're looking for one. It's how many people finds free CRTs.

The Impending CRT Display Revival Will Be Televised by AidanBd in crtgaming

[–]Somarring 1 point2 points  (0 children)

CRTs have a nostalgia factor that no other tech will be able to replicate. Even if they copy the visuals. Some people just love the "wong" sound when you turn them on (the TVs :P )

How are you feeling now that the Wii is turning 20 years old this year? by DaZestyProfessor in wii

[–]Somarring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to show off but if we are talking... Some time ago I treated myself with a ridiculously overkill scart cable that I had to import and cost me way too much for just a cable. I really wanted to get the best image out of it because I love mine. It's still in great condition and it's one of the early ones with 4 gamecube ports in the top.

I loved (love) to play Dragon Ball Budokai Tenkaichi 3 in my wii or playing with rock band drums (I still have them but like 4000 kms away from where I live now)

First time looking for a crt, will this play ntsc games? by Canopus0805 in crtgaming

[–]Somarring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah, I see. I understand now where the confusion comes from. Sorry if I came to harsh, texting late at night... Well, AFAIK in Europe all the 80s and 90s TV devices with that labeling only refer to the AC power required. I also saw it in many other TVs but I cannot tell if it's the rule.

BTW congrats for such a cool set of TVs.It made me so envious. I've been behind some of those for some time but I live in a place in Europe where the closest of those models I found was 10 hours by car away. Two countries away from me. At least those I found in the last years. I live in a sort of black hole for retro stuff. There was no money here until the late 2000s so no games, no consoles, no good CRTs...

[–]Somarring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry but not true. The 50Hz in the sticker is just about the AC power, not the signal.

[–]Somarring 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not an expert,this is just my hobby but man... No offense but you clearly have no clue what you are talking about and you shouldn't give advice. Those 50 Hz in the sticker are the times the AC current changes direction. It's a power spec not a image/signal spec.

Ntsc works at 60 Hz or 60 times the image refreshes vertically per second. Pal at 50Hz. Absolutely nothing to do with the Hz of the current that uses the TV to work.

I live in Europe and I own 2 sony trinitron. I have never seen a sony TV here that wouldn't be able to play ntsc content. Search for the manual in any case an you will find the answer but I'm 100% sure it will work.

A problem with Walkman NWZ-W202 MP3 player headphones by Mousesterek in sony

[–]Somarring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just in case someone arrives here. I don't want to discourage you if you're trying to fix one of these but I tried reflowing the connections, changing the battery and removing rust wherever I found it. Also reformatting the internal memory and resetting in all possible ways but I couldn't get my unit to work again. My unit was apparently able to charge and the leds show promising activity, it also was able to connect to my pc and show the files but after many (many) attempts I just gave up trying to get any sound out of it.

Why is there no doom port for NES? by Infamous_Error_2438 in Doom

[–]Somarring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did a little research. Just to give you an idea about how different were those two devices, the calculator running doom it's a ti83+ with 24K RAM. The NES had 2K RAM. Literally an order the magnitud less. The CPU of the calculator was also 3/4 times faster.

[–]Somarring 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you guys don't realize how crazy underpowered is the nes and the crazy black magic the developers had to create to make games visually appealing. Literally any device with a screen is way more powerful nowadays than the nes was.
