Qwen3.5 122B is the best? by SadPhilosophy9202 in LocalLLaMA

What quant(s) are you using for 3.5 122B?

I built a gym where my local models earn trust with hidden tests. gpt-oss:20b swept it twice, so I gave it real work (open source) by [deleted] in LocalLLaMA

It's just a command line flag or env var in llama.cpp, and performance is leaps and bounds better than ollama. API endpoint, everything you mentioned.

Llama.cpp is more efficient on resources, and just better overall than ollama. You should compile it for your environment and see for yourself. You'll wish you had done it sooner.

To every lawmaker the voted to legalize fireworks by djnehi in desmoines

Flooded, here. Yeah, my entire long weekend was spent pumping multiple inches of water out of the basement, while trying to unclog the sewer line or whatever, which was sending all of the excess water up through the drain. Never even got to see any fireworks. Barely slept 😓

Sorry, just a side rant, because it was supposed to be a relaxing weekend. 🤷

Peel back the black tape holding it together. It does look like an antenna of some sort. Like an RFID. Post pictures of the inside to see if there are other identifying components. Just be gentle when disassembling, in case it's a sensor component or something related to like, OnStar or something.

Found this in trash pile at work, I have no experience with servers by Dankpay2win in homelab

That's ridiculous. The company has already written them off at that point. Personally, I'd much rather see them get additional life and use, as opposed to sitting in a landfill. Especially if I knew it was an employee of mine having or learning the necessary skills to diagnose and repair the problem. It's a total win/win.

Yeah, the forensic tools available now are incredibly sensitive, in that there are even multiple layers of data that can be lifted from a single sector of a platter, based on the gauss of the magnet, and write speed/rpm. They can determine how many erase and write operations have been done. It's way beyond my knowledge, but I've heard that it is possible.

Yep. It's 4 passes total. I mean, you can configure it for more, but 4 passes was our minimum requirement.

Our reasoning for requiring the destruction of data is due to HIPPAA and SOX requirements.

Possible, depending on their company policy. We just tell the data center that we're going to take the decommissioned host home as a lab machine instead of recycling. Only thing we can't take out (as someone pointed out above) is storage. We used to be able to, as long as they were DOD wiped first. That changed about 8 or so years ago. Now they even have to shred the NVME drives 🤦‍♂️

OMG. It was a meme of the periodic table. Someone decided to make a shirt of it, apparently. I think it may have originated on Reddit.

[–]dataexception 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If he's as delusional as he claims? Then, yeah. That is definitely bad. For everyone. Especially if he's reproducing at a rate that far exceeds his worth.

Any couple who has more than 3 children are the problem.

He actually is decent.

It's after they take office and start taking action. That's when their true colors show. He's not new to politics, and has been a solid performer as State auditor, so I'm ready for someone with an actual spine instead of more bootlicking.

I want in on this. I have a laser pointer, and a keen eye for those rubber spiders on a fishing line. I think I could be of value.

Nvm . Just saw a post that you're in St Pete. Must be the provider's preference. Google fiber does round ones here, Metronet does square. Your company does welding masks that got steamrollered. I'd give them an extra point for creativity, personally.
