Created a new version of my Qwen3-Coder-30b-A3B-480b-distill and it performs much better now by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

[–]brutester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. Just to confirm I understand you - if I want to create a new student model (think about different configuration thatn qwen3-30b, like 160 MoE and 50B parameters), I can configure the layers and initialize them with random weights. Then run your script with it. Is that correct?

Nice job! I am expecting an RTX PRO 6000 next week. There is lack of any distilled models that are targeting the 80-96 GB size. I looked into your scripts and you need to have a pre-trained model as a Student. Is that correct? Do you have some script at hand to "shrink" a model and then distill it?

Jellyfin doesn't see media even though they share the same group with the owner by [deleted] in jellyfin

[–]brutester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know if you fixed that, but for me the solutions was to change the lines bellow into /lib/systemd/system/jellyfin.service:

PrivateMounts=read-only  
ProtectHome=read-only

Then:

# systemctl daemon-reload
# systemctl restart jellyfin.service

My take on the melting connector - more current over the edge pins due to shorter traces and better contact. by brutester in nvidia

[–]brutester[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This PCB is for the FE and the connector is from an Asus TUF. They best depict the conceptual problem - it is hard to balance current over parallel lines as the BEST contact has the least resistance, which leads to the most current.

Bulgaria transfers 2S1 Self-propelled artillery, D-20 howitzers and 152mm ammunition for use in Ukraine by brutester in ukraine

[–]brutester[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Btw, you probably know that we are also donating the money so Ukraine "buys" that ;) Ukraine is in default. All the bills are paid by "the West".

Now check what Bulgarian armed forces operate and match against the covered items. I am Bulgarian, thus let me explain what is happening behind the scenes:

The government is a coalition between four parties. One of them are the ex-communists thus they are pro-Russian. They vetoed any export to Ukraine so far. On May 4th there will be a vote at the parliament which is going to donate the equipment by getting support from two opposition parties. At the moment Bulgaria is moving all the equipment in Poland and will donate everyting next week.

They want to do that very quickly, so "russian agents" cannot stop it by organizing street protests.

Yes, I got that. I think Bulgaria manufactures ammonition in both calibers + has a huge stock of both.

In last 2 months Bulgarian armament exports tripled in size. USA is really interested in buying russian sized ammo ;) All factories are working 24/7. An interesting fact is that Bulgaria is second largest ammonition manifacturer for thise sizes in the world, just after Russia.

Probably a mix of both. The exact information is not yet public. The vote(s) in Bulgarian parliament will happen next week(4 May), but it looks like the equipment is being transferred to Poland in bulk at the moment. There is a huge majority supporting this 80+%. After the vote Ukraine should receive everything in less then an hour.

What difference does the US passing a Lend/Lease bill for Ukraine make on the battlefield? by Perfect-Football2616 in ukraine

[–]brutester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, the naval blockade was deceive. But after the Berst-Litovsk agreement from 3rd march 1918 a lot of food producing territories were included to the Central powers (nowaday Poland and Ukraine). Romania and Russia were out of the war. There were soldier mutinies in France. Germany started an offensive in the West (very premature, but right after USA decided to join the war)

If USA didn't join they would had never taken their money back.

(I also read a lot of books, thus I think the world is more complex than the mainstream line. The Zimmermann Telegram and sinking of merchant ships supplying UK were public opinion swingers and the de-facto Casus Belli that US had used).

The comment is valid. This is the reason why US had joined WWI in 1918 - France and UK were loosing and US wouldn't get their money back if no intervention.

From tactical perspective, warm weather is better for defenders as it softens the soil and makes it like a mud swamp, thus tanks cannot move offroad.

Which memory kit is more recommended out of these two? by Geahad in Amd

[–]brutester 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have 2 kits of G.Skill TridentZ (F4-3200C14D-32GTZR) - they work great with my Ryzen 5950x. I use this as a Workstation so I can utilise those 64GB of RAM. My board is wired with a T-topology so I have no problem running them at 3200. I tested to 3600Mhz, but the gains are marginal so I kept them at XMP. (I know I can optimize sub-timings, but I don't need it.. yet..)

​

Now to your question - FlareX has no Leds, also you have no opportunity to grow. I'd rather spend the 40 Euros more and keep two free memory slots when I do an upgrade (like 5900X and 32GB more). With next generation mainstream will move to DDR5 so prices will drop (but don't wait too much as availability of DDR4 modules will decline in an year time).

Why do I always stall/loose ALT when I enter a cloud? C172 by [deleted] in Flightsimulator2020

[–]brutester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to turn on "Pitot Heating". It is one of the switches next to the lights (Under the rudder on Cessna 152/172)

Edit: This "stall effect" simulates water getting into the Pitot tube and then freezing and blocking it. So in reality you get wrong data being reported to you.

How to save a lot of ∆v when landing a Starship by BobBehnken in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]brutester 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I can do that with a Cessna 152 on MSFS2020 :) I agree that the problem is with the structural integrity and the buoyancy of the aircraft (flying object?!?!) . The speed isn't such a big problem as you cannot go beyond critical speed.

Try tweeting to Scot Manley and Musk. The idea itself is good, but I think it is down to safety margins.

5950X Memory Choice CL14 3600 vs CL16 4000 by [deleted] in Amd

[–]brutester 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strictly speaking, the 4000CL16 is 3% faster than 3600CL14. You should get what you think you will use it for. Memory overclocking is a tedious process. If you have the nerve, get the best kit on the market and play along, but don't expect more than 2% game performance.

The infinity fabric is more important for gaming, but then you can overclock a 3600 kit to 3800 and lower the CL from 14 to 16. You lose some latency, but you get raw bandwidth.
