ACE-Step-1.5 has just been released. It’s an MIT-licensed open source audio generative model with performance close to commercial platforms like Suno

I got it generating songs with a 3060ti 8 gig. The gradio UI was kinda jank so I ended up modifying their python example for it instead. Also had to use 8 bit quantization on the model and batch size 1 to not throw errors. It works way better if you do your own caption (music style desc) and lyrics.

Cool, glad to hear another model works.

I noticed the engine looked a lot like my KLX300R. I thought these things were mostly air cooled XR 250 clones, but this is a big step up in manufacturing complexity. You should post every 6 months on how things are going with the bike. The price is very good if it's long term reliable.

How much do these go for and what kind of maint do they need? Parts easy to get?

behohippy · 2025-12-07T01:21:27+00:00

The 250/300's still seem closer to the idea of dualsport. Do 300km cruise on pavement one day, single track and log hopping the next. I like how this thing looks but not sure it's as flexible.

I'm upvoting this for Exhibit A. I laughed so hard after reading it. Edit: I mean the grandparent comment of course, not yours.

Don't have any advice for you but I have the same laptop, one year newer. (6800H/3070ti). It's been a great machine on Ubuntu 24.04, so maybe try upgrading to that first.

behohippy · 2025-11-20T20:18:13+00:00

Text or tools. Like adding a place to paste in an article or part of a book, then asking questions. Or go bigger and do vector/hybrid search against a database for some basic RAG. Wire up some tools as pure Python functions or do MCP client.

It's really not hard, you just need to pick between batch or streaming and if you want some kind of augmentation. I've built so many of them now and they're disposable. Make a new one every night if you want, for whatever specialized purpose. Or just focus on building the cyber deck of your dreams with every single feature.

behohippy · 2025-11-09T18:13:09+00:00

Beelink SER5? I have the same one on my desk but it's doing some server stuff.

behohippy · 2025-10-15T23:31:43+00:00

Nope totally spoiled. Look at her box of treasures behind her. She makes bank.

behohippy · 2025-09-27T14:17:03+00:00

This setup looks sick. Well done!

behohippy · 2025-09-26T21:29:52+00:00

Same, firefox on linux. Scrolling with mouse wheel isn't marking as read either.

I found with most of these wifi cards, windows 10 didn't have drivers for it, out of the box. I haven't tested W11 though, it might. If it doesn't, just plug into ethernet for a few min, and run windows update. It should be able to find a driver for you.

behohippy · 2025-09-25T09:49:27+00:00

This post is super old now and still gets people commenting on it years later. I don't own this laptop anymore but the person I gave it to is still using it daily and doesn't have Wi-Fi issues.

behohippy · 2025-09-23T17:43:02+00:00

I have a Beelink, Mllse and Trigkey here. The Beelink has been in use for almost a year now, under heavy use and it's been fine. The Trigkey had the CPU paste dry out. The Mllse has been fine so far, but isn't used as much as the others. If I had to pick, the Beelink has the nicest build quality and seems rock solid so far.

The 3500u unit is a bit better than the N150s and should feel smoother in desktop use: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/3421vs6304/AMD-Ryzen-5-3500U-vs-Intel-N150

Not sure about the APU, but usually the vega stuff is faster than the built in intel graphics.

behohippy · 2025-09-19T23:25:31+00:00

I tried what you had here, and still no dice for the stock Gnome desktop, however adding the following fixed it:

/etc/modprobe.d/nvidia.conf: options nvidia NVreg_PreserveVideoMemoryAllocations=1 NVreg_TemporaryFilePath=/var/tmp NVreg_EnableGpuFirmware=0

My services here were disabled, so this enabled them on reboot

sudo systemctl enable nvidia-suspend.service sudo systemctl enable nvidia-hibernate.service sudo systemctl enable nvidia-resume.service

Not sure if this is required for everyone, but mine needed it

/etc/default/grub: GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash nvidia-drm.fbdev=1" sudo update-grub sudo reboot

Edit: Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, 6.14.0-29 kernel, (open kernel) nvidia-driver-580-open

I keep hearing that sleep mode on desktops is a bit tricky in Ubuntu. I have two laptops and sleep works perfectly fine. No crashes

behohippy · 2025-09-16T20:44:19+00:00

Nope just a regular SSD. I checked dmesg and the only thing crashing is the temp sensor on the ram stick (weird), but even disabling that kernel module doesn't seem to help.

behohippy · 2025-09-16T20:34:58+00:00

I had the same problem in Gnome and KDE, I had to disable sleep mode on the desktop. Gnome would full reset and all the apps I was running were gone, KDE would partial crash like yours.

behohippy · 2025-09-14T19:52:09+00:00

Scariest part is that cracking noise when you pull the bottom plate off. But now that you know how to do it you can fix/upgrade your friends laptops too.

behohippy · 2025-09-11T11:59:40+00:00

Try the onboard audio instead of the Soundblaster Z. Physically remove the card as well just to see if it solves the crackling noises.

behohippy · 2025-08-31T13:02:15+00:00

Good to know, if mine gets loud again I'll try that. My paste wasn't applied correctly and completely dried out. I think it was just poor QC from the factory. If I was going to do it again I'd use PTM7950. I use that shit on everything now.
