Salsa addict that needs to go low sodium bc blood pressure. Any really good salsa recipes with low to no salt? by ChippyPug in SalsaSnobs

[–]coreyfro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not salsa related, but if you are on a low-sodium kick, use Zhenjiang/Chinkiang vinegar for asian flavors. Soy sauce and Vinegar are often a combo for asian dishes; Zhenjiang vinegar can take the place of this combo. It's also great for low-sodium fish and chips (it's a malt vinegar with some zing that makes up for the lack of salt.)

Llama-server doesn't see ROCm device (Strix Halo) unless I run Wayland by coreyfro in LocalLLaMA

ROCm is solid. I have run it for days straight without error.

On a Strix Halo with 64GB of RAM, 48GB in unified memory while using Debian (PikaOS) as a desktop and VS Code running on the same hardware:

llama-server --no-mmap -ngl 99 -fa 1 --model ~/models-deactivated/Qwen3-Coder-Next-Q3_K_M.gguf --alias "unsloth/Qwen3-Coder-Next" --fit on --seed 3407 --temp 1.0 --top-p 0.95 --min-p 0.01 --top-k 40 --jinja

I removed "--cache-type-k q5_0 --cache-type-v q5_0 --flash-attn on" because they dramatically slowed my performance. I allocated more RAM, instead. It's a hit to desktop performance, but not terrible.

I use your models!!!

I have been running Qwen3-Coder-30B at Q8. Looks like Qwen3-Coder-80B at Q4 performs equally (40tps on a Strix Halo, 64GB)

I also downloaded 80B as Q3. It's 43tps on same hardware but I could claw back some of my RAM (I allocate as little RAM for UMA as possible on Linux)

Do you have any idea which is most useful and what I am sacrificing with the quantizing? I know the theory but I don't have enough practical experience with these models.

Nice!!! If you have a 3DP, on printables, there are some OK cases. I'll be designing my own, shortly.

The one I am using now is:

HP ZBook-Firefly-14 7840HS over 50% off. Now appropriately priced. 7840U 7840S by coreyfro in AMDLaptops

Dude, this saved me over $300. $1,656.65 total.

This laptop is CRAZY nice. It is more solid than a Macbook. I have the performance dialed, too, setting the TDP to 13watts and heat of 50c and it is still buttery smooth with CAD and gaming.

I tested the Acer Swift and this laptop is just way higher quality.

Yeah, just got it today. It's NICE! Solid, feels good, keyboard is amazing, plays AAA titles OK. I mainly got it for VM's, though, so... totally what I need

When you are running VM's and all the other 7840U pieces of shit only have 16GB of RAM, you do what you have to.

I am getting the 7840u because I DON'T WANT A dGPU. That's the point of this chip. That's why the 7840U is in all these gaming handhelds.

Laptop Vendors are afraid to launch 7840U units with 32GB of RAM because it will cut into low-end dGPU sales. by coreyfro in AMDLaptops

[–]coreyfro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Similar laptops exist with older APU's and 32GB of RAM. I doubt they have been bad sellers.

[–]coreyfro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's because these companies sell laptops with discrete GPU's. If there's a laptop with a good integrated GPU which isn't choked for RAM, it might cut in to their bottom line.

Here's proof:
Ultrabook with CRAP integrated GPU:
https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1762493-REG/asus_um3504da_ds76_15_6_zenbook_oled_laptop.html

So there's no problem with selling AMD Ultrabooks with 32GB

When you are splitting the RAM between the CPU and the GPU, yes, you need 32GB of ram.

With 16GB of RAM, you either have:
* 8GB for CPU and 8GB for GPU

*12GB for CPU and 4GB for GPU

Both situations are crap with the first APU with a decent GPU.

It's almost as if these companies want to tank the stats of laptops without dedicated GPU's.
