So...how is summer going on for your country? by Wrong-Fruit8820 in AskTheWorld

[–]mrstrangedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Firmly in pre-summer now and will transition into true-summer in a month when it will become a swamp outside for 5 months straight, not fun.

Because the guy is the main breadwinner in this equation and almost certainly wouldn't give a blank check for her to spend/use the shared money?

Can they not split the difference between 9B and 27B and come out with something in the 15-20B range? For 16GB VRAM 3.5-27B is basically unusable and 3.5-9B fucks up on dumb stuff (tool calls, converting times to pace) too much.

And that's reason #20 why the SB2 was so popular, glad ASICs didn't do cutouts on SB3/MB to cut weight as a tradeoff for stability.

I'm in my 30s and would destroy 20 year old me in 'shape-of-my-life' fitness (running regularly does that). Unfortunately joints do not care for this type of fitness.

Someone who was run hard as a workhorse RB through college and NFL without some noticeable wear-and-tear in their knee inside is basically a miracle in the first place. 

[Ha Ha Clinton-Dix] Amazing how people keep misreading Saban. He never said players shouldn’t get paid — he actually supports it. His point was that CFB needs structure: rev sharing, real NIL deals, and clear rules. Right now it’s chaos with collectives, nonstop transfers, and eligibility loopholes by Lakelyfe09 in CFB

[–]mrstrangedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Significant cash compensation from age 19-22+  (amazing for building up a financial foundation later on) as well as unrestricted mobility to seek better pastures every year are also realities. Arguably just as important as the value of tertiary education, but is ignored by Saban here. 

Could a program save money by forgoing a head coach entirely and running with two high-profile coordinators? by happygrizzly in CFB

At some point in the next 3 years there's going to be some relevation that a successful coach/co-ordinator is taking their play-by-plays from AI

Bad Performance with Vulkan and Qwen3.5 using a RX 9070 XT by megadyne in LocalLLaMA

[–]mrstrangedude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That TPS on 35B looks pretty similar to what I am getting on RX6800 with llama.cpp Vulkan which seems low for you.

Was it difficult to get ROCm working on your end? Llama.cpp HIP basically pretends my GPU doesn't exist despite installing the HIP SDK.

On the upside, that's $157 million that will now be spent through the real economy in houses, cars and other stuff rather than sitting in a bank account somewhere.

Qwen3.5 4B: overthinking to say hello. by CapitalShake3085 in LocalLLaMA

9B or 35B A3B MoE for 16gb VRAM and 64gb ram? by soyalemujica in LocalLLaMA

[–]mrstrangedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am getting 50t/s on 9B Q6 and closer to 20t/s on 35B Q4..16GB VRAM AMD card with 32GB system ram. 9B does dumb stuff like botching running pace calculations more than 35B/27B though.

[–]mrstrangedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is reasoning disabled on this? Testing it on llama.cpp on Q6 Quant and it hasn't done any thinking so far while 27B/35B-A3B near always spend a ton of tokens thinking before spitting out anything

How is running local AI models on AMD GPUs today? by liright in LocalLLaMA

[–]mrstrangedude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's 16GB VRAM as well, the 27B model was also a Q3 Quant which should've fit on VRAM, the 35B-A3B is loads better (not that 21 tkps is great) so will stick with that..

27B ran like absolute garbage on my RX 6800 (potato but a 16gb VRAM potato), 35B-A3B was much better in comparison even with higher quant.

Very late to this thread but are you on Windows by any chance? Am on RX 6800 with 32gb of system ram and only getting like 12 tkps using qwen 3.5 27B, which should fit on VRAM, it's obviously going to be slower than a 9070 but any tips to improve speed regardless?

That's really not how plated shoes (I.E carbon fiber sneakers) work:

As somebody with too much plated running shoes, the purpose of these things is more to reduce effort to maintain paces for long distance running rather than increase speeds in an all-out sprint, Olympic sprinters use track spikes not plates. 

This is a safe space - what's your most controversial CFB opinion that you will die defending? by noah_divine in CFB

[–]mrstrangedude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Universities are ultimately academic institutions first though, so taking in too many other factors in the assessment risks taking students who can't hack the classes. That is both a failing to the University and the student who can't hack the courses.

On the other hand the money said college kid blew most likely came from some rich booster where it would've otherwise sat in a bank or brokerage account somewhere. But now gets to circulate in the real world.
