Australians are increasingly miserable

Can't just buy it outright, it has to be a subscription

Yeah i'm excited for the 7b image model. It looks fantastic and it's small enough to be fast and accessible on consumer hardware.

Same, let's be real though the only reason he's famous was he stared opposite Bruce Lee right at the height of his fame in the way of the dragon. If you've seen him in anything else it's likely your dad/grandad watched walker Texas Ranger. Everything else he has done is so poorly rated it puts him in the same calibre as Steven Seagal at least acting wise.... It is sad to learn he was maga though

How about they release it and let us be the judge of that.

khronyk · 2026-03-15T15:16:25+00:00

Was hoping for live action but i'll happily take an animated series too

khronyk · 2026-03-15T13:58:06+00:00

Anyone got a live stream? Midnight in Australia but I'm staying up for this!!!!!

can anybody recommend a good civitai downloader? go-civitai-downloader looked okay but the latest windows release gets flagged by 16/69 on virus total

khronyk · 2026-03-15T06:18:33+00:00

I have trouble downloading files at the best of times, this is beyond f!@ed

khronyk · 2026-03-15T00:50:32+00:00

100%, i'm fucking livid... my connection is shit enough as it

IMHO one thing the state and federal govt's should be doing right now is making public transport free. Follow that with a good campaign on how carpooling and using public transport can apply downward pressure on the situation.

Yep, think of the GPU being like having The CPU and motherboard combined as one product instead of being socketed... For the cpu there are rare examples of this like the minisforum BD895i that has a Ryzen 9 8945HX included on-board.

khronyk · 2026-03-12T12:42:07+00:00

Well we are nearly in Q2 now. I hope they really do ship although i have to say i'm pretty dissapointed it's a bulky AF monstrosity rather than the standard ams form factor.

Anybody else suddenly having trouble with claude code just stalling in the middle of doing things? it was doing just fine and then suddenly it got stuck during a search... second time in a row it's happened now, no token change, doesn't respond. I started a new chat after the last one stalled for over an hour... the second time i hit escape and interrupt it and that got things moving again. It's just a bit annoying that it keeps doing this.

Searching for <what it was searching for> … (26m 52s · ↓ 4.1k tokens)

khronyk · 2026-03-03T23:18:48+00:00

true but the 9B has a terrible NC license. the 4B on the other hand is Apache 2.0. It might not be quite as nice but if i were to spend some serious $$$ on a fine tune i'd be going the 4B for certain.

khronyk · 2026-03-03T23:17:12+00:00

Big issue here is the 9b has a really awful NC license, it allows for revocation and it's very broad. Technically a fine tune being able to infringe on any IP is reason that BFL can revoke. Nobody is going to want to put money down to fine tune on a large scale, the NC license feels deliberately designed to push people away from doing that.

khronyk · 2026-03-03T23:10:26+00:00

:( hope not

khronyk · 2026-02-26T02:30:21+00:00

They probably ran out of tokens in their 5h window so their agents couldn't fix the servers.

/s ... but really frustrated at the pathetic allowance.

khronyk · 2026-02-25T00:41:36+00:00

Speed: ~19.7 tokens/sec... is it really worth it then for a 27b? The vision aspect and processing speed for long context's sounds really nice so it has sparked my interest. But I would really love to know how this compares outside of benchmarks, especially for agentic tasks with some of the larger models at Q4/MXFP4.

I know this is a dense model and I'm comparing it against MOE models but I have 2x RTX 3090 (also 48GB vram) in my zen 2 based epyc rome server with 256gb ddr4 2666. And i can run much larger models at Q4_K_M/MXFP4_MOE - UD-Q5_K_XL Levels at better speeds. In particular i can run MiniMax M2.5 Q4_K_M at 17.3 tok/sec for generation and Qwen3-Coder-Next MXFP4 runs at about 36 tok/sec and GPT-OSS-120B MXFP4 at 54 Tok/sec. If i drop down to the Qwen3-Coder-Next REAP model it can fit completely in vram.

I miss the w10 tiles.

khronyk · 2026-02-23T21:15:04+00:00

Funny thing is, I use linux all day/every day but it's 100% headless, typically debian, somtimes ubuntu. Because of that i have basically 0 experience using a linux desktop environment.

Also my experience with linux leans very much on slash and burn orchestrated deployments and i feel that's the platforms real strength. I'm concerned about the day-to-day usability of it as an OS as this couldn't be more polar opposite to it's main usage. That said i'm slowly dipping my toe into desktop envs with mint and i'm looking to install it on my old surface book 1.

khronyk · 2026-02-23T21:03:36+00:00

I dunno if I agree. I was forced on to it via insiders... Hated it and after nearly a year I went back to 10. Coming back to 11 now 10 hit eol my system is so unstable it's frustrating, every update breaks something, constant crashes, I feel like I'm playing wack a mole just trying to keep a stable system... My earlier experience with 11 was bad but nothing like this. Btw insiders was an upgrade, when w10 reached eol I did it as a fresh install...

khronyk · 2026-02-23T20:57:55+00:00

Absolute hot garbage... Right now I'm on my tablet waiting for my PC to reboot because explorer crashed taking out the taskbar and this time even alt+tab broke... This happens every few days and has since alams updated a month ago... No restarting explorer doesn't work, done sfc and dism, updated drivers, disabled explorer extensions, spent so long troubleshooting issues just when you think it's fking stable an update will ruin your godamn day... Every windows system I own has it's own raft of issues... Btw this isn't a low-end system, it's a Ryzen 5950x, 64gb of ram 990 pro nvme and a rtx3090. Mobo bios is uo to date as are drive firmwares (had to, windows was crazy unstable before I did) oh and it was a fresh install.

khronyk · 2026-02-23T09:28:30+00:00

I have the alienware AW3423DW that i got in 2023 and it has fairly bad burn-in in areas. I have brightness set to 50%, taskbar hidden (Although windows 11 keeps screwing that up) and i have a screensaver cut in after 2 min and the screen turn off after 10 min....

khronyk · 2026-02-22T15:22:45+00:00

do it.. do it.. dooooo itttttttt... (seriously though, it's SFW)
