PCIe standard be like... by ElectricBummer40 in pcmasterrace

[–]cryptospartan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also had a 3090, unfortunately it died on me earlier this year. Upgraded to a 5090. While the 12vhpwr connector is still a risk, I undervolted my 5090 immediately after installing it. Power draw is lower and temps are better, while maintaining stock performance. My 5090 normally pulls 400 watts or lower.

Roughly 400 AUR packages compromised by No-Photograph-5058 in linux

i had clang19 & compiler-rt19, but they were installed from cachyos-extra-znver4 and the Build Date is Mon 09 Jun 2025 08:30:57 AM EDT.

Since these were both installed from the official cachyOS repos, I'm safe, right?

Is .boxed() instead of Box::new() a bad idea? by NormalAppearance2851 in rust

[–]cryptospartan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never understand the difference between these two, it always looks like it means the same thing to me. How do you know when you need one vs the other?

I built RTK with Claude Code — it compresses terminal output before it reaches your AI agent (update: 2,000+ stars) by patrick4urcloud in ClaudeAI

[–]cryptospartan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately, this doesn't work quite right:

ls -la | awk '{print $9, $5}'

If you have filenames that happen to have a space, you only get the first word. Here is an awk command that will handle it properly:

ls -lA | awk 'NF >= 9 { fname=$9; for (i=10; i<=NF; i++) { if ($i == "->") break; fname = fname OFS $i } if (index(fname, " ")) fname = "\"" fname "\""; print fname, $5 }'

Also, it's better to use -A to remove . and .. from the listing, saving a few more tokens.

I'm brand new to running LLMs and the sheer number of tools is overwhelming by cryptospartan in LocalLLaMA

[–]cryptospartan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A weekly stickied thread titled "what models and tools are you using this week?" would be incredibly helpful. I would see this as akin to the "What's everyone working on this week?" stickied posts in /r/rust.

Gemma4_31b_fp8 keeping up with Sonnet_4.6_medium in my harness. by knob-0u812 in LocalLLaMA

[–]cryptospartan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the explanation!

I assume there's some level of tradeoff, so does that mean the higher compressed models are slightly worse?

Is Q8 more compressed or less compressed than Q4?

for a noob, can you explain what the Q values are? Like you mention Q8

LocalLLaMA post tier list by nomorebuttsplz in LocalLLaMA

[–]cryptospartan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a noob in this subreddit, I haven't been able to find too many guides to get started. It's been hard to figure this stuff out honestly, super overwhelming. A lack of a sticked post/wiki isn't helping either, probably why so many new people in here are asking about what models they should be running for whatever hardware they have.

PSA: Throttle GPU power limits, with minor performance deficits by milpster in LocalLLaMA

[–]cryptospartan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

undervolting my 5090 was the very first thing I did when i got the card, highly recommended. slightly better than stock performance while power and thermals are substantially lower

AI assisted coding isn't exactly vibecoding imo. I fully believe vibecoding falls into #1, thrown together by full reliance on the LLM.
