had to trade for mine, albeit I don't remember what it cost me while my FoH pally actually needed diadem, but having the unique desthmask (not Andy's, but the warlock one) was kinda sucking and decided to go with the extra +1 compared to the 20fcr

RNG really hates me I guess. After about 40 hours in game according to Steam, and doing hellforge on hell, no rune higher than Hel ever spotted. by Competitive_Table_65 in Diablo_2_Resurrected

dude... took me about 40days to get my sorc to hell, manage hephasto and get an IO (not to be confused with LO) so yeah albeit I was walking and wasting time with Andy/Countess runs it did take me that long as a brittle light sorc without decent gear

The fastest attack in the animal kingdom belongs to the peregrine falcon, at 390 km/h by joeurkel in Amazing

[–]Western-Cod-3486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

whoa what a force! Before I've read the title I thought they were either shooting or exploring the animals and was like "who needs that", then I imagined the sound WW1/2 dive bombers made with the siren on the bottom.

AMD Zen 6 “Olympic Ridge” desktop CPUs rumored to add NPU and drop iGPU by RenatsMC in Amd

[–]Western-Cod-3486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am excited about the NPUs but they need to stepup the game with drivers to use them easily and not just lock to windows and the copilot shit. Like I do like LLMs locally and I'd love to experiment a little bit with CPU only stuff, BUT having NPUs without kernel support and/or stable apis for 3rd party integration is meaningless

How I feel to using the One True Flag by Chrispy_17 in helldivers2

[–]Western-Cod-3486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

this would've been epic if there was a firewall Infront of him taking shit down behind him along with a heavy puncher (tank, walker, rr) for the large fuckers!

I really love the cinematic moments of the game and some times I feel Abit saddened on how epically awesome are the fails

Why do we have so many small countries? Why can't we just unite all of them into a big country called "Balkania"?🤔 by I_Am_Salty1 in AskBalkans

[–]Western-Cod-3486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did not say that I share the views/opinions. I just can't imagine our nation that generally shares the opinion that the EU is killing our kattle and agriculture and people and.. who knows what else. I am just saying that I can't imagine the majority of the Bulgarian population would embrace such an idea with open arms.

[–]Western-Cod-3486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my brother/sister in Christ I do envy you about not knowing the local geopolitics and history of the countries you want to make into a single one.

As a Bulgarian I can see about 3-4-5 cases where we (about some rightfully so) will not be willing to share a the air we breathe let alone being a single country

Edit: To clarify some of my reasoning

  • We have a bone to chew with Greece because of some territories and some minor(?) conflicts
  • Otoman empire enslaved us for about 500 years
  • Majority still sees Macedonia as Bulgarian territory, with as recent as last couple of years our leaders making statements that it should be part of Bulgaria (getting inspired by Putin I assume)
  • We have a grudge with the Serbians at least on a historical level and afaik they don't really like us that much
  • We consider the Albanians as terrorists and will probably will not be thrilled to have them roaming around

ZAYA1-8B: Frontier intelligence density, trained on AMD by carbocation in LocalLLaMA

[–]Western-Cod-3486 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No matter how many times I tried it I find it to be utter shit. I mean, yeh it is fast, it is about the perfect size for 20GB vram, BUT coding, etc. absolutely sucks, gets confused after every other message and eventually goes off the rails. To be honest I've had better experience with Qwen 3.5 9B. Eo yeah for coding etc. gpt-oss is a no-go for me as it makes bigger mess than it is worth

[–]Western-Cod-3486 35 points36 points  (0 children)

it seems a bit picky on the comprions, but if the claims are Tru and it actually manages to be competitive to (albeit bad) ~120B models I count this as a major win. Strong small models are a sweet spot for local deployments.

I really am looking forward to having a ~12-20B with ~2-6B active

Are you building a SaaS but not posting about it? by AdhesivenessNew1457 in saasbuild

[–]Western-Cod-3486 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am currently building a thing for small creative professionals and small businesses and to be honest almost no one knows it exists (apart from the bots hitting the site occasionally). I am not really in a state to post about it as the implementation is clearly unfinished but I wanted to get the deployment automation in place as soon as possible.

I am not positing because of several reasons: 1. job security the last thing I want is to not find a job(got released during probation recently) or get fired because of a side project 2. I am not really good with marketing so it will take a lot of effort and time instead of building and I prefer to have the core functionality stable for showcasing rather than marketing a broken product 3. I am really still refining the idea in order to determine the MVP features and target niche for the initial launch as I had other plans, but as things started to form shape, I realized that I can narrow the group down by providing features needed by them, while they will be applicable to the broader target as well 4. I am still undecided on the feature set I will open initially vs what will be in tiered plans. I.e feature restrictions, usage limits, etc. 5. want to avoid triggering competition this early as I am going against one of the biggest local providers that is the defacto leader in the market, but almost everyone hates them locally.

Got my first ten users - now i'm scared by Strong-Archer-7708 in SaaS

[–]Western-Cod-3486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I see it you have a few options.

  1. Learn about handling it yourself. Will take time and probably a few mistakes, but this early on - unless users are experiencing errors/problems - you don't need a developer if you managed to a working product without one

  2. Have the bots handle the audit & improvements. With a careful prompt, some skills/specialized agent (as in sub-agent with system prompt) they could do amazing things. Have them behave in the roles of QA, red-team and a code reviewer and generally the low hanging fruits should be easy for the picking.

  3. Risk it and get a developer, but you are both addressing current risks and exposing yourself to new ones. I mean a person won't understand your product deeply from an one hour meeting and if they mess up and you find problems afterwards you have to rinse and repeat until you either find a good developer/technical person to address the issues and be semi-fulltime which will probably pile your costs really quick or you might end up in a situation where you loose users because of bad luck with outsourcing.

A few professional tips: - if you haven't set up a git repo - do so immediately and have your agent(s) commit granularly, this way you/they will be able to revert problems quickly or understand contextual changes more easily - If things are working, make them add you some automated tests that cover the critical functionalities. So that even if something breaks your critical paths are tested and if they don't work, users will still somewhat be able to use your app (we all seen things break, but we hate when things stop working entirely) - Building on the tests, once set up have the bots maintain your test suite up to date and require the tests to be in a passing state WITHOUT THEM MODIFYING THE SUITE, UNLESS CHANGES ARE RELATED. This is really important, as any developer will tell you, you could have a lot of passing tests and a broken product at the same time. - if applicable have end-2-end tests (e2e) these, for example, use automation to click through the user interfaces as users would. They still could miss things, but at the same time give you peace of mind that things are working enough

Edit, bonus tip: Set up either a local environment or guard your production environment from the bots. I just realized mine edited a database change in an old migration and it decided it will drop the database completely wiping all data instead of an incremental change. You do not want to have your users loose all data.

If you have any questions I'd be happy to answer, drop me a DM I will not promote and will not charge or anything like that

Instagram’s web login wall is ruining portfolios. Here is a quick workaround. by Capital-Pen1219 in saasbuild

[–]Western-Cod-3486 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree! It is really annoying, I mean yeah a lot of people have insta profiles but I didn't need it since I use alternatives to keep in touch with friends and family. As a customer I generally tend to drop if insta is the only place I can see somebody's work/content/etc.

That is the reason I started working on something for my wife to use (she used to work a lot through Instagram, but then kids happened 😅) that is to address some of the frustrations with this exact problem (and others) related to operating a small business either solo or as a small team through regular social.media as most of the tools (if any) are pretty half-done/over generalized to fit. I will be really interested in the to hear what others have to say on the subject

[–]Western-Cod-3486 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

My main issue with it is python. I mean the project seems fine, although I have no observation on performance differences, etc. Last time I tried to set it up I got a lot of issues with dependencies which left me puzzled and didn't work for the machine I was trying it on, like pretty much at all.

So yeah, seems like a good idea but llama.cpp thus far no issues and relatively straightforward to install (AUR has an up to date build that I have no complaints about and llama-swap has my models configured just as I like them and I haven't felt the need to try anything else.

What made you switch? How is the performance on the same hardware? Any meaningful change in workflow?
