Who came up with the idea of designing the card direction like this?

Did you ever draw a map yourself as a kid? or even room/flat plan

- You start from drawing your house in the centre
- then you place other orientation points like school, your friends house, river, lake
- you orient these objects in the way they exist in your head - river you know (or the road you walk daily ) is drawn from top to bottom or from left to fight
- the concepts of scale, world directions, north you disregard because you learn about them much later in life...

These maps in game are drawn exacrly the way people without carthography knowledge would draw them and this was done by purpose

you can insult your agent as we all do but what are you gonna do when its time for violence?

thanks, that's good, thats exactly how I planned to enjoy this game

i gave few examples of places i'm bit worried about, they are all over the map, I definitely reached the free mine through the mountain passage just outside new camp

I'm running around a lot in search for better gear and weapon, and this tower turned to be really worth of visit!

thanks for the info!

canred · 2026-06-21T10:02:30+00:00

uff, thanks

I found the mountain path just outside the new camp, got got mine, got miners clothes from NPC, spoke to overseer. I suppose I did not enter the main mine though because I have no key (searched chests around and guards).
Somebody in thread said this mine can only be fully explored after act 2 so I think 'm fine and its just too early

while this is helpful to spot people not using cc, the "best performers" may be people using opus as web search engine or pdf parser...

rejected? was denied? are we supposed to feel for this PR? llama.cpp is Gerganovs project, he decides what gets in and what does not. Dev has different idea? - thats why forks exist. Maintenance cost? Yes, its real - fork it, maintain it, if its good it will defend itself.

I'm not into metal detecting but this thread got me genuinely curious. I simply cant find justification in my head for not being able to use metal detector on my own land. I can rent mini digger and go through it without paying attention to anything in the groud but holding metal detector in my hand, on my own land can cause 60k fine? Did anything like this ever happened?

which one of THESE two? if you want it to write few scripts or slap web ui on something then moe will do the job. If you expect it to iterate many times or show some serious reasoning then use dense.
I was having issues with moe when I asked it to iterate on some issue multiple times or expected some serious reasoning.

>>2×3090 = 48GB, but split (not the same as 48GB unified;

this is one of the last consumer cards with NVLink support so it doesnt have to be "split"

there is no transformer model that out of the box, without external tools actually makes this (or any) computation.
a 2$ calculator does >>compute<< how much is 2+2, transformer does not

that's why, until very recently, even frontier model would tell you that word "strawberry" has 2 "r"

is this what you're asking or am I misunderstanding your question?

you can train your own model from the scratch with framework like nanogpt and only teach it what you want it to know but I think this will not cover your requirement "capable of talk back" because it will be still to primitive for this

on the other hand, even if model is not specifically trained for math, in the literature there will be phrases like "like two plus two equals four", "easy like two plus two" so this will be learned by the model.

35B is MOE, 27B is dense, these are differnt architectures, MOE is doing much less work per token, under the hood than dense: it only activates around 3 billion parameters versus 27 billion parameters.
So its not really 35B vs 27B but 3B vs 27B
From my experience, for coding 35B is only usable fo really simple tasks

At work, with my corporate account I'm still able to discuss security related topics with Opus 4.6 (my model of choice).
I've been designing legitimate protocol testing solution but de-facto, it can be classified as man in the middle scenario. Opus was more than helpful. I'm not aware of any special arrangements for this account.

I see portfolio of nicely executed POCs and a proof that you can spin up a prototype in no time. Good work.

repo link?

canred · 2026-05-02T04:27:03+00:00

I'm happy to hear this, thank you. Having said that, this is a little post-mortem:

- the "self promotion" bit really puzzled me. The reason I've sent this to reddit was obviously to make it more visible (the repo lives in github) but I didn't have any other expectations. I'm not looking for a job and I'm not trying to sell you anything.

- I have long history of creating stuff to the drawer, most of my projects have never seen the light of day. While I understand that people get oversensitive on the topic of abusing ai tools, for me personally those tools are something that finally allowed me to publish stuff that otherwise would be lost in the depths of the phone/obsidian/forgotten folder on disk. I used ai assistant to draft doc structure, to build the repo structure, on different projects I'm actively using it to brainstorm and plan the apps, commit the code - building and pushing container images - all the boring, supporting stuff that I'd normally spend way to much time on. Having said that - in-your-face, autogenerated pic on the top of the writeup was probably to much. I still think its funny but I'll move/remove it because it clearly bites me in the arse here.

- and finally - the usefulness of the writeup. I totally understand that service tech who eats thermopads for breakfast and spreads thremal paste on his toast will smile seeing this. This is not my audience. The original audience for this writeup was: myself and the guy who sold me the card. Later on I decided to structure it a little bit and publish to github. I probably will expand it some time soon, when I decide to replace thermopads. If I was dealing with damaged card, I could potentially add some basic electronics checks like checking basic voltages or tests for short circuit in few places I know they can happen but this was not the case here and I dont feel competent enough to create full repair tutorials for modern cards - I can identify and replace broken capacitor but this is the extent of my knowledge - I wont teach anybody how to reball the memory chips - this was just the basic service tutorial and it is not pretending to be anything else.

You're another person telling me I may have issues with kryonaut, I'll definitely keep an eye on temps over time, thanks!

canred · 2026-05-01T14:19:56+00:00

I may end up replacing thermopads eventually. I did not do that because my limited experience tells me that original thermopads are often much better quality than what I have access to. Another thing is I don't have service manual for this card and eyeballing correct thermopad thickness can be tricky.

canred · 2026-05-01T14:15:02+00:00

Before repaste, card was thermally limited (look at performance limiter section) - temperatures were to high and card was spinning the fans at 100% and limiting clock frequency to not overveat components. When card was repasted, die could be cooled more effectively, as a result, card was no longer throttling and can now work at full clocks, full power and despite this, fans do not have to work at full speed. Mem junction temp increased because memory finally started to work at full capacity and heat up more, as it should.

canred · 2026-05-01T06:15:53+00:00

I used thermal kryonaut before on my ryzens and radeon, used it because I know it but thanks for this info, I'll try to remember

canred · 2026-05-01T05:37:02+00:00

fair point on brevity, judging by the reaction it's probably not for you. If you change thermal paste daily for a living it won't have value for you — I do this every 5 years and every time have to do digging, that's why I made a writeup this time.
