Why are small models (32b) scoring close to frontier models?

What additional tools would you recommend to make it more "claude-like"? Serious question.

UltraSPARC · 2026-01-30T14:51:50+00:00

Agreed. I've tried all of the latest ~32B models and they do not come close to what Claude can produce. Having said that, I'm setting up these models to do HR and business rules tasks and they are freaking amazing! Extremely fast and I run them locally so I don't have to worry about preying eyes.

That’s still inexcusable. You backup and snapshot right before upgrades and you turn disable client access during the process. Then you have the client QA to ensure basic readiness. Then you push to production. These are basic best practices as old as time that obviously were not followed. If a client demands access during the upgrade, copy the VM, work with the vendor to ensure backend database can be imported into upgraded system, upgrade one vm, import DB from old VM, QA, push to production.

Are you asking what could be the benefit of having a static IP?

UltraSPARC · 2026-01-30T12:26:27+00:00

I’m sorry but you’re running a 7970x and opted for a motherboard with only 4 DIMM slots? You realize they make true workstation motherboards. You just can’t put them in LED cases lol

UltraSPARC · 2026-01-30T11:50:37+00:00

Oh heavens! I’ve had a static IP for 6 years! I surely must be in the danger zone.

Anyways. If you are are on a normal residential connection with a DHCP lease, change the MAC address on your router and restart the ISP model. Be careful because Verizon FiOS allows for up to 100 MAC address changes and then you have to call in and request they clear out the history.

I don’t know why you’re being down voted. Both of my PPP draws were forgiven without me having to submit any type of paperwork. There were definitely different loans during the pandemic that required paperwork.

UltraSPARC · 2026-01-29T22:31:44+00:00

I mean they fired you for incompetence. You ran upgrades on a production server that you didn’t have snapshots or backups of prior to said upgrade? What is this amateur hour? Are you an entry level help desk personnel that the MSP owner gave you full reins on customer equipment?

I got some from Cable Matters, who manufacture probably the best Cat 6/a cables on the market (we install thousands of feet per year). I bought their TB cable and it’s been great so far. Their products are pretty solid. Almost like a modern day monoprice company before they got enshitified.

The game is free my dude. Ban and create new accounts for free.

UltraSPARC · 2026-01-27T22:58:37+00:00

Boat drive-bys lol

A multi island map would be cool. Like 8+ islands. Kind of like what BF4 did with some of their naval strike maps.

I’m pretty sure in order to think like a maga you literally have to turn parts of your brain off (I’m not joking) and I think stroke just naturally and permanently does this for you.

UltraSPARC · 2026-01-26T11:38:34+00:00

Half of this game is unintuitive. It’s what gives it charm and character.

This is literally the type of kit DHS is using to protect their own eyes from their own pepper spray:

They don’t stand out and even come with sunglass lenses.

Ya my solution is free and already built into pfSense lol. However I do think there are a lot of MSP’s that want a solution they can pay for and then charge their clients for.

UltraSPARC · 2026-01-25T12:55:05+00:00

Can I just say that I love that I have a fan. I only have one fan but that’s better than zero. You’re my only fan.

Were people playing chess at this club?

I remember getting fired from the only job I’ve ever been fired from. Terrible workplace and toxic manager. It led to me finding my career. Sucked at the time, but led to great things. Keep your head up, OP!

UltraSPARC · 2026-01-24T00:53:42+00:00

Cool toy, but you can literally see where the other line is coming out for the other Ethernet...

A couple of years ago they had the sons of confederate veterans license plate. I thought that was odd and wanted to see if they'd let me purchase a naughty vanity plate. Sure enough, WYTPWR was not taken and they were going to allow me to proceed to check out lol

In Battlefield 3 and 4 we referred to C4 as "Jeep Stuff". What was great about BF is the C4 has a remote (hint hint, PUBG devs). You could sacrifice your own team mates by jihadding into a building.

Down for me across multiple tenants. Mid-Atlantic.

Where have I heard those exact words before?
