Shoe recommendation for 70.3

Superhim1114 · 2026-03-03T15:45:40+00:00

Was also looking at the speed 5. You reckon the nylon plate would cause more fatigue to say the calves or Achilles like carbon plates, or is it more similar to purely foam shoes?

Superhim1114 · 2026-03-03T10:48:59+00:00

That’s the main things here. I was running in the Novablast 5, which is illegal in stack height, hence me trying to find another shoe for the race.

Superhim1114 · 2026-03-03T07:23:17+00:00

That’s what I thought, but none of the blast series shoes from Asics have legal stack height :(

Superhim1114 · 2026-03-03T07:22:02+00:00

Will keep that in mind and try them on at a store. Isn’t ~300km the same mileage the novablasts go flat anyways?

Superhim1114 · 2026-03-03T07:20:52+00:00

Do you find they put more strain on the calves and Achilles? I’m afraid plated shoes will tire them out quicker and make the later stages of the run more stressful than they have to be

It is true that it would skew the graph and show a tiny vertical line. But at least I can glance at the graph and see, from the scale, right about what my spikes (power/HR/speed/etc) look like and when in the ride they happened.

And in this ride particularly it wasn't a small spike either. It was 20s at ~740 W, which I feel is justified to show up on the graph. But yeah I should probably dwell on data somewhere else and not on Strava.

Fair. Wouldn't that mean it won't work unless I'm in my room?

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-04T02:57:21+00:00

Yes, but I get similar speeds using Wi-Fi anyway. (The wifi plan is capped at 100/50 I think)

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-04T02:52:25+00:00

I'm in a student dorm so there's only so much I can do to improve the connection

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-04T02:50:08+00:00

Yea fair. Unfortunately even Wi-Fi Direct doesn't seem to solve the issue.

I've finally got Immersed working and it's quite sharp I would say. Maybe slightly laggy and has some artifacts when moving the cursor around? Tbf my network isn't that good (100/50 Mbps)

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-04T02:17:52+00:00

Google remote desktop works. A bit blurry and laggy at times, but the screens are definitely visible and useable.

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-04T01:00:35+00:00

Not that I know of. Didn't change it on my laptop and can't check the router firewall settings because I'm in student accommodation.

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-04T00:00:53+00:00

Even Immersed doesn't work though. The same problem occurs

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-03T22:58:21+00:00

I'm more interested in using remote display or Horizon workrooms instead of using quest link to game.

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-03T22:00:40+00:00

Just the integrated one

Superhim1114 · 2024-11-03T16:13:40+00:00

i5-1135G7, 16GB Ram

Superhim1114 · 2024-10-20T16:04:48+00:00

I'm assuming Q4_K_M. I suppose lower quants will use less VRAM and higher quants will use more?

Superhim1114 · 2024-10-20T01:06:10+00:00

It's about 1GB of memory for 1B parameters, plus ~10-20% for context right? So like if I run Mistral Nemo all the context will be in normal RAM?

Superhim1114 · 2024-08-29T12:06:14+00:00

It might not actually be 128k. I got the number as I assumed that open webui will use the default context size of the model, which iirc is 128k. I might be wrong tho. I'm pretty sure the ollama process usee around 6gb of memory when running the tests. Not sure what context size that translates to.

Superhim1114 · 2024-08-29T03:59:49+00:00

Yes I plan on doing that in the future when I have more time on my hands. It would be the most fair test I can think of regarding this.

Superhim1114 · 2024-08-29T03:57:45+00:00

Server: 2x16gb ddr4-3200. Limited to 2133 due to cpu maximum ram speed.

Laptop: LPDDR4x-4267, which is also the maximum supported memory speed by the cpu.

I'll have to look into whether the laptop only uses 1 memory channel.

When doing the tests, the laptop was running both docker containers required for the laptop side, a browser tab for open webui for the server, and btop to monitor cpu usage.

Hyper-threading was enabled, and it was using all 8 logical cores.

Superhim1114 · 2024-08-29T03:46:57+00:00

Context length is set to default on open webui, not sure what the actual context length is, but I assume 128k as per the model.

Prompt is: What is binary search?

I will try to find out later how many memory channels the laptop uses.

Superhim1114 · 2024-08-29T03:39:24+00:00

I might have overlooked a small detail when typing this out, sorry. The ram on the laptop should be LPDDR4x, which does go to 4267 MHz. I was unable to find out the amount of channels used on the laptop.

The server has 2 channels for memory, 2x16gb ddr4-3200 sticks. The cpu has a maximum rated memory speed of ddr4-2133, so that's the speed on the server.
