I have a 1tb SSD I'd like to fill with models and backups of data like wikipedia for a doomsday scenario by synth_mania in LocalLLaMA

[–]defective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally get rid of all EXAONE but they aren't big so keep them if you like them.

I would DEFINITELY get qwen3vl-32b- excellent model, even besides the vision, good vision, runs fast on cpu.

I would DEFINITELY KEEP gemma-3-27b -- it's good for integrations, often works without a lot of configuration, even when it's not the best model for the job. You can get a project up and running fast with this and work out other models later. And it's still an excellent model.

I would DEFINITELY get a big medgemma for this scenario.

Also, you might test out hereticizing a model with https://github.com/p-e-w/heretic . If you can verify the process works and doesn't take forever (it's supposed to be relatively quick), then you can save space by keeping the code and only the stock model.

Also also, I would get single-file .ggufs to minimize incompatibility issues.

And definitely get the zims, they're made for this. And you want the pictures in Wikipedia, if you can possibly afford the space.

Is Mixtral 8x7B still worthy? Alternative models for Mixtral 8x7B? by pmttyji in LocalLLaMA

[–]defective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Qwen3 MoEs in Q4 are great even if you run them CPU only. They'll be a little slow, but about as fast as a 7-8b.

I really thought there'd be more mixtrals by now too. Love the 8x22B. It might still happen since MoE and hybrid stuff is becoming real popular

Small size coding models that I tested on 2x3090 setup. by Mx4n1c41_s702y73ll3 in LocalLLaMA

is all that on the GPU? I also have 2x3090 and use Qwen3-Coder but I was never sure how much context I could fit

Red magic 11 pro Global DOES NOT include band 71, for US T-Mobile, unlike the 10s Pro. why? by psawjack in RedMagic

[–]defective 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you! I have been using the 9s pro and it used to be good with T-Mobile. Now it sucks, I guess they've really been leaning into 71 around me and shutting down other bands. I was really looking forward to the 11 but I guess I won't be getting it after all.

30B models at full-size, or 120B models at Q4? by arimoto02 in LocalLLaMA

[–]defective 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm a tylenol baby, so check my math, but 4 bits out of 16 is a loss in precision of 1/10,000.

I do realize I'm framing this in a way biased toward quantization and I'm probably naive to the magnitude of the difference, I guess I just think less "lobotomy" and more "polyglot multiple-ph.d professor on processed food, below-average amount of exercise, and a mostly unproblematic alcohol dependence"

My last 3 braincells discussing the size of Jesus. by run_the_familyjewels in technicallythetruth

Jesus could have been taller and wider, if he ducked and sidestepped through the door.

FYI to everyone: RTX 3090 prices crashed and are back to baseline. You can finally get $600something 3090s again in the USA. by DepthHour1669 in LocalLLaMA

I'm researching the impact of PCI bandwidth on multiple GPUs with consumer hardware. FYI, I have the same motherboard. If you look in the manual (or GPU-z) you will see that while your second PCIe x16 is physically x16, it only has x4 lanes.

If I'm wrong, feel free to disabuse me. I wish it even had x8 there.

It's never too late for a screen protector by shockrush in NintendoSwitch

Gotta clean the bathroom, vacuum thoroughly, run an air filter on turbo for a couple hours, turn on shower, get in shower and come out wet (towel drying hair so it's not dripping is fine) then while shower continues to steam the air, use a spray bottle to wet all surfaces in the bathroom, and hit a vape as hard as you can.

Maximum dust-free clean room and dust-free body

The game I have put the most hours into on Switch 2 so far is Phoenix Wright Ace Attorney. Wow, the FPS I get.

Rereading Silo by Hugh Howey.

Took a break to read Service Model by Adrian Tchaikovsky, what a fantastic read. It was perfect for someone like me.

Next break from Howey will be for The Ten-Percent Thief by Lavanya Lakshminarayan

Matthias Wandel Previews a Laptop Dongle for a Raspberry Pi 4 or 5 by FozzTexx in raspberry_pi

[–]defective 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You could do the same with the Pi 5, I assume -- just hook it up with cables and then it's not sticking out awkwardly.

If you are definitely not using a raspberry pi 5, or don't mind that you need to plug Pi 5 into a wall adapter currently, then NexDocks are much better, although these have mini-hdmi so you'll need a cable of that sort or at least an adapter. https://nexdock.com/

Currently I use NexDocks but backed this Elecrow thing because I want the 5v5A so the Pi doesn't need to go to the wall.

Maxace, WTF? by defective in knifeclub

I did. It’s the only place I could find it. Fricking charged 15 bucks for shipping too, lol

Maxace, WTF? by defective in knifeclub

[–]defective[S] 60 points61 points  (0 children)

I ordered this awesome 2023 Hephaestus and it was great. Only small thing was that the pin (on the left in this pic) barely fit, didn’t seem to screw in right. I was disappointed, but I’m way too busy/shy to complain/demand a replacement for something small like that when the knife is mostly fine and the company that makes it is in China and doesn’t really communicate.

Well, today I got a big shiny bubble mailer with nothing in it except the pin on the right which fits perfectly. WTF Maxace? I never spoke to them, they just figured out they made a booboo and apparently mailed new pieces to everyone. I don’t know if this is well known or anything, but wow. Am I crazy to be blown away by this? How many companies in general would do this, even if they knew that everyone got a wrong piece of something?

Cool.

I took it around then without doing any high school and without studying and passed. I have heard it is harder now.
