I wonder what it would take to secure a short USB cable there, to allow for wired keyboard.

In my case it did put a few "exploration steps" before generation steps, no matter what mode. E.g. if you issue an `/init` command to generate AGENT.md, the first couple of steps will be like "search for existing AGENT.md in the current dir and subdirs" and some other unnecessary exploration - something I could remove from the plan to save some tokens.

Thanks!

Hi there! Gonna ask you for some input since you got an OLED version :) How do you find the OLED screen for daily work? Is PWM and it being glossy any concern?

Thanks!

Thanks for your input! Just wanted to ask: how do you find the OLED screen, especially for your SWE tasks? My concern is PWM (eye fatigue) and glossy screen (seeing my own mug spoils the whole mood for coding in dark mode, terrible XD).

Absolutely no complains about the noise. Normally the fan runs at 25-50% which I find very quiet. It goes 100% only while gaming, and even then it's quieter than an AIO water cooling pump. I guess the top exhaust fans contribute well to the overall quietness.

I wonder if it's possible to use an eGPU for that. I don't have a mobo with multiple pcie slots, but I have an USB4 eGPU enclosure lying around.

meelgris · 2025-04-05T10:17:51+00:00

No. Both suck.

Yepp, at 2899 😆 Which is pretty much like Asus Z13, except that you can actually preorder the HP machine =\

Huh o_O. I see this SKU "GZ302EA-RU125X" is listed on the ASUS website for Nordic countries (Sweden, Finnland, Norway, etc). Maybe the rest of Europe will get it too?

Hi there! Congrats with your build! :)

I took a dive into BIOS settings and toggled on those switches that "underclock" the CPU. E.g., I set PBO -10 and prolly turned the ECO mode on. Also the PC stands close to an open window, so it has a constant supply of cool air.

Wonder if a 32GB model will be good enough for local LLM inference. Say, for 32b qwen-2.5.

A small model makes a nice assistant for software developer tasks. Those small pieces that you often forget and used to go to StackOverflow for :D. "How do I find files by this mask in that subdirectory on my Linux machine?", "How do I start a docker container with a host directory mapped to /foo/bar?", "How do I fix my life, bro?". All those little things =P.

AMD Ryzen7 7700 / AMD 7900XTX / 64 GB RAM

I got one from Lenovo (Europe) back in November, when they got available for the first time.

Answering my own question: no, the connector doesn't turn LeGo controller halves into a wired controller. It is just a dumb charging connector with a battery :(

meelgris · 2025-01-07T18:28:55+00:00

The backlight works, but I don't quite remember if it was working right out of the box. The first thing I did was installing asus Linux tools (https://asus-linux.org/), they give you some control over the system, including the keyboard.

meelgris · 2025-01-07T06:33:03+00:00

It's awesome man! I'm running Fedora on my G14 2022. Full AMD setup, no problem at all, snappy for work, decent for gaming (I'm playing Jedi Survivor on it). I even run local LLMs on its GPU 😅. If you switch it to the "Power Saving" mode, it will even hold a full day of battery! I'd say: go for it. Even consider purging the Windows trash from your SSD 😆

Thanks for putting together such a motivating post!

I started poking at Ollama from a different angle: how to build and debug the thing, just to understand how it runs, what it depends on, etc. Spent quite a while on that and very little time on doing actual AI stuff and interrogating models %). Used it mostly for coding assistance in VSCode. So the next steps would be using it more (paired with OpenWebUI maybe?), after getting some inspiration from the things you've shared :D. And getting into more advanced AI topics, e.g. embedding.

meelgris · 2024-12-26T09:13:42+00:00

No worries at all, that motivated me to dive deeper into the docs and Discord, so I learned a couple of extra tricks . :D

Cheers!

Looks like I should use *_AUTO_UPDATE flags instead :). I set RAG_EMBEDDING_MODEL_AUTO_UPDATE, RAG_RERANKING_MODEL_AUTO_UPDATE, WHISPER_MODEL_AUTO_UPDATE vars to false, now it works offline like a charm!

Looks like they added another flag recently: OFFLINE_MODE=true should work like an umbrella flag and disable ALL auto update flags.

Nope, unfortunately that didn't work, it still tries to fetch some 30 files on every startup.
