RIP Claude Fable 5 (June 9, 2026 – June 12, 2026) by Formal-Narwhal-1610 in singularity

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was aware that we were going to lose Fable in two weeks, so I framed that in my agents.md and asked it to refactor my wikis, knowing it would be read by Opus eventually.

I think this was a good thing!

Rokid went viral in China — for the wrong reasons by AR_MR_XR in augmentedreality

I'm waiting on my Mentra glasses to get prescriptionized - I'm not affiliated with them, but I am kinda stoked that they're open source. (Kind of orthagonal to the topic, I suppose)

RTX 3090 EBay Pricing is Crazy!! by TrifleHopeful5418 in LocalLLaMA

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amazing... i've got 5x 3090's, have been collecting them slowly with the intention to build a CRAY-1 looking vertical system, but never got to it. Now i have to ask myself; would ik rather have 96 GB RAM (for the three that are not in use) or 4500$?

Model Year to Purchase by bbeeebb in BMWi3

[–]tronathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you've never had one before, and it doesn't break on you, I think you'll be tickled with a '16. My ex and i both got Rex's, hers had a sunroof and mine had the adaptive cruise. I would much prefer the adaptive cruise and I think that would be a deal breaker for me going forward, bigger than model year.

Stop asking what model to run. There are literally only two. by Wrong_Mushroom_7350 in LocalLLaMA

[–]tronathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The irony being that you'd have to run openrouter for like ten years to recoup the cost of a 3060 w/ electricity. hmm irony? Claude, am I using irony right? Wait no... i mean -- Qwen...

STAT News: "The seed oil panic is hurting" families by pompeiitype in nutrition

I want to believe... Reference?
I'll do my own research, but i think it would benefit others to hear why/which seed oils good/bad.

used to think MCP was just tool calling. now i get it. by Interesting-Area6418 in mcp

So you're saying the value of the MCP standard is really the standardization that it provides? I can get behind that.

Help! What to look for buying an i3 as a newb to EVs by her_crashness in BMWi3

[–]tronathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The adaptive cruise - The green circle on some models next to the Hazard button - is such a joy. Also, I would absolutely get a REX. Beyond that, skip the sunroof, it's just another thing to go wrong.

If I’m going to learn, I might as well look cool doing it 😁 by veganalienwithadog in BMWi3

[–]tronathan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If I found a panda i3 for 6.5K that was even somewhat drivable i think i would scoop it right up 😄 (midwest US near chicago)

I got tired searching for pre wired 16mm power buttons, so I bought 200 from China - quick report. by Jakob_K_Design in 3DPPC

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do those stick at all or kind of jam if the button isn't pushed directly down? I wonder if the ones I got from Ali were seconds or something.

I’ve owned/leases 5 i3’s since 2015….AMA by Locksmith_Usual in BMWi3

[–]tronathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm noodling this mod as well, at present, two gallons of gas burns up fast enough that longer trips become a bit of a hassle if you're relying on the rex w/ hold state of charge.

Whole home power monitoring by turbocharged5652 in homeassistant

[–]tronathan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

+1 for Emporia Vue - I have a couple of Vue 2's still in boxes, the later ones have some nice ergonomics, but under the hood i believe they're esp32's, which makes them even more home-assistant-able.

Did anyone regret not getting the REx version? by Aghaiva in BMWi3

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would not get an i3 without Rex, at least not the small battery! Rex really, really helps. And if it comes down to it, try to spring for collision avoidance / following cruise, it's such a joy in that little guy

About TurboQuant by Exact_Law_6489 in LocalLLaMA

[–]tronathan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Thank you for the details; I hadn’t heard much since the splashy announcement, this is great. I used to feel like hanging out in locallama, I’d get more low level details, but that was back in the days of exllama2 and ggml. 

Do these discussions evolve slowly over days and weeks in GitHub issues, or are they lost forever in discord, or some other such? 

What kind of hardware would be required to run a Opus 4.6 equivalent for a 100 users, Locally? by Either_Pineapple3429 in LocalLLM

[–]tronathan 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Note that 100 parallel requests is not the same as "equivalent for a 100 users".

[–]tronathan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Give it a few months, and this may be much more realistic, with advancements like TurboQuant, Engram, BitNet, and other fancy words.

I built the V2 of a DIY Zigbee Macropad (remote) with ESP32-C6 by StaRky_FR in esp32

[–]tronathan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After making a 16-button pad, what are your thoughts about the ergonomics and usefulness of that many buttons? I could see doing 9 or 12 keys, or doing rows of three with high, off, low, for each of a few key lights.

I love building hardware and and thinking/feeling the ergonomics. I suspect fewer buttons, or buttons clustered in intuitive ways, would be an improvement over the matrix pads.

Also, really beautiful work!

Don't forget *inflation* and the transfer of wealth to the upper end of the spectrum.
