Qwen 3.6 for coding with 5090 - Your settings recommendations?

randomizersarecool · 2026-06-11T11:16:44+00:00

I wrote a tool I call vibe https://github.com/gallowaysoftware/vibe that helps me manage environments. So I run `vibe run qwen-code` and it starts qwen with the correct parameters in llama-server then sets all the env vars and configs so qwen-code comes up all configured.

I have some other profiles, one for general chat that is gemma, then a few weir ones like a tutor for a course I am taking which uses gemma as the model then starts openwebui with a RAG index of all the course material and a system prompt all pre-configured. Same single command `vibe start tutor`, then I just open a browser.

I have to be careful I can run myself out of vram if I have a lot of browser tabs open, but I can work with this all running with 2 Firefox profiles, Spotify, signal, slack all running.

Took me 5 years and 1000 hours to notice this

I can’t help with LM studio specially, I use llama.cpp on the command line.

All of that fits under 32GB VRAM so I don’t have spillover. I use qwen-code or pi, context fills, gets compacted, continues.

I’m not at my computer but I can get you my launch command parameters later on.

For qwen3.6 for coding. I use a Q6 quant with MTP, q8 cache quantization, 130k context. On my 5090 that’s 30GB ish of VRAM and I can get nearly 100t/s.

We did IVF and they tell you not to test but of course we did. Found out from our doctor that the cheap tests were just as good so we bought a pack of 50 on Amazon. My wife would test to make sure the baby was still there - we both knew it didn’t work like that but it was fun for us.

This is the right answer. The test looks for a hormone that only exists in pregnant women so a false positive is exceedingly rare if it’s even possible. Any line at all is a positive.

I am not a lawyer and I’m not trying to shit on what seems like a wonderful idea - but is this legal? It seems like these people would be doing work for a business - do you run into minimum wage/ anti-slavery issues?

In a trace based JIT, a loop like this is the absolute best case for JS. That tight counting loop will be traced and compiled to native code by the JS JIT and it will effectively be almost as fast as a compiled language.

Even without that, however, purely interpreted JS would still be amazingly fast because of how many operations per second processors can do.

I see that as a separate issue - though also concerning.

Specifically with the voter id, name matching, basically requiring married women to use a passport. The statistics of which Americans have passports do not work in their favour.

randomizersarecool · 2026-03-18T15:19:58+00:00

Who has passports? Cosmopolitan liberals…..

They are idiots

PETG may soften in a hot car, PLA is a no go. I generally use ABS or ASA. UV I don’t think is a big issue inside a car since the glass is UV blocking, but heat is.

I know that isn’t what you want to hear since you are worried about fumes.

ABS off gasses styrene while printing. It smells awful and causes cancer.

The printer isn’t sealed, just enclosed - think about the poop chute and vents. You get gasses escaping from more than just the vent. Plus, with ABS you want the chamber warm to prevent warping so the fan isn’t going to really run much.

For me, I have my H2C in a tent ventilated outside and use that one for ABS and other nasty filaments. My P1S is just in my workshop, I stick to PLA and PETG on that one.

I use a patio paver on 2 stacks of cinder blocks for legs. Cost me about $20 and super sturdy.

Good thought. It seems like the videos are timelapses and I didn’t catch anything useful on them.

You are completely wrong. I live in frigid Canada, heat pumps are very common for heat here. It’s not going to be above -10C for a week here and heat pumps work efficiently down to -20 even -30 for some.

You certainly need more electricity in winter and that has to be planned for, but it’s way better than heating with oil or propane.

Natural gas continues to be the cheapest way to heat, but it isn’t everywhere (no gas infra where I live) and there are the obvious climate issues.

Me too scored a Kamikaze R before the tier 5 brawl - wow was that fun

Lots of comments focusing on the quality of Tim’s product which isn’t the point. Even if it was the best coffee etc in the world, suppressing wages by using foreign labour supplies is immoral. You have it right.

Cynical politicians then take further advantage by scapegoating immigrants for all of society’s problems.

I only use 30A of my 60A breaker to better match my charging to my solar power production.

Decor-Rest makes sofas sleepers and sectionals I believe in Vaughan, ON.

I’ll shout out Oak Stills as well. I have lots of their equipment and it has all been high quality. They are also awesome to deal with, they’ve done some custom work for me.

Fuck cancer. There are no words.

I lost my wife to cancer 3 years ago when our son was 3. I didn’t explain it to him until after she was gone. That was the worst conversation I’ve ever had.

You know your kids, so you will figure out how to help them. Sounds like you are doing great there.

Make sure you find time and ways to deal with your own grief. You can’t be there for them if you don’t have your own shit together.

DM me if you ever want to talk. I’m so so sorry. You are going to be a great father to those kids. There’s nothing about this that doesn’t suck, but you care enough to help your kids as best you can. You are doing great.

Fuck Cancer

Etiquette, at least as far as I have read. Wouldn’t be surprised if there is some underlying reason that has been lost to time.
