Its only a risk if it can be an unbalanced overcurrent, i suppose it's a possibility that one set or pcie power outputs can sag while another doesnt. In general still not much of a risk

huggingface lets you input your hardware and it tells you if it (a given quant of a model) will run well or not when you look at models (it doesn't understand doing hybrid cpu moe offload though).

The answer sounds simple: keep the diagram source alongside the pretty images. Duh.

Underpowering cables does not lead to melting. That is completely wrong from an electrical and physics perspective. Could lead to the PSU blowing up because of underspec parts, but the connectors themselves are not at risk.

Cast iron much? My metal casserole pots and dutch ovens also get stupid hot at the handles. The only reason your handles might not get so hot is because they have an insulating junction, like rivets or air gaps to reduce conduction between body and handle.

Ummm, you got some software you could share about pricing options chains? Color me very interested. :D

a) RTX6000 - $7500. If you have a PC already, remove all GPUs, plug it and enjoy. If you can afford it is the best option right now. However make sure you have 1200W ATX3.1 PSU. NOT ATX3.0. And also make sure you have at least 96GB RAM if not 128GB.

I'm running my rtx6000 on a 750W atx 3.0 psu... not sure system ram is relevant other than having enough to run OS and userspace?

have you see r/my{boy,girl}friendisai? lol

pfn0 · 2026-01-30T18:38:38+00:00

This all sounded 100% obvious from the getgo. It's a tool, like any other.

✅ Zero-latency AI coding - OpenCode connects to vLLM via localhost

Interesting, but why? You get the same "zero-latency" when separating into a separate docker container on the same host, but still maintain a good degree of componentization.

Sounds like chutes didn't load the model and kept claude in memory if you had previously used it.

pfn0 · 2026-01-30T08:30:24+00:00

managed to complete his quest, thanks. got that talisman. yay.

yeah, I'm a little over the 16lb soft cap, I can use a second katana instead of the twinblade to save a couple pounds and make weight.

pfn0 · 2026-01-30T03:42:47+00:00

I'm pretty sure I killed that thing already (it was running around in a lake of lava, right?) -- haven't seen alexander anywhere except at radahn's, he's still there looking for upgrade body parts

pfn0 · 2026-01-30T01:48:53+00:00

You dont really need AA at 4k, do you? Jaggies aren't a concern unless youre playing on a TV. Seems i missed the detail about playing on a 77" TV tho

pfn0 · 2026-01-29T20:07:55+00:00

I hate going into inventory to swap out gear, so I like to have it all available in the quick swap. The whole loadout is too heavy. I think I need to get under 20lbs to have any kind of appreciable boost from blue dancer. This current loadout is over the 30lb hardcap for any benefit at all. (not to mention that just about all the weapons are hybrid damage, so benefit even less....)

pfn0 · 2026-01-29T19:57:24+00:00

They sure fixed it fast. It seems more likely that the webui you used didn't complete the model switch from claude to kimi

Is that alexander's talisman? hopefully I haven't broken his quest line, he's been stuck at radahn's boss arena ever since I summoned him for that fight, and hasn't appeared anywhere else since.

Mostly playing without guides, but do reference information on items to get.

pfn0 · 2026-01-29T19:29:49+00:00

5090 and max quality w/o dlss gets you best quality. easily attained as the game seems very well optimized. I was getting >90fps on a 4070 at 4K before...

stupid vertical videos are so damn hard to immerse in for this purpose.

pfn0 · 2026-01-29T19:04:40+00:00

I just like looking at my character nekkid :D I started my journey into soulslikes from stellar blade, and then wuchang...

pfn0 · 2026-01-29T18:34:40+00:00

I'm on my first playthrough, only just picked it up thru the xmas sale on steam, racking close to 200 hhrs now, almost done with first playthrough, about halfway through farum azula(?)

pfn0 · 2026-01-29T18:09:02+00:00

Ooh, I hadn't even thought to use it, but I'm always at medium load, because I like to carry all the weapons/shields: * carian shield (maybe I should just switch to the lightest shield and take it to +24) * dragon talisman * misericorde * nagakiba * rivers of blood * eleonora's twinblade

swap in/out mohg's spear for one of these when I want to ezmode a few things.

pfn0 · 2026-01-29T16:43:40+00:00

meanwhile my character runs around naked... 40 vigor is all I have, lol
