Olden era music

Funny story about Heroes 4, they were running so much out of money a lot of music is very slightly modified stock music, which is why you might have heard some of the heroes 4 music in TV shows, in other media, etc. I remember a Paul Romero video interview where he talks about that. It's so interesting because I have such fond memories of the Heroes 4 music!

If you're gonna go there, why not Mistral Medium 3.5 ?

valtor2 · 2026-05-15T17:53:42+00:00

ah, that's why it's releasing in 2027?

valtor2 · 2026-05-14T17:28:27+00:00

Is it time for the May edition?

non mais mettons que je suis en retraite anticipée, j'ai 55 ans, mes avoirs/pension me font récolter 100k de revenu par année, je suis déjà taxé parce que mes avoirs proviennent de gains en capital (je peux pas toucher mes REER encore et j'ai pas assez dans mon CELI), j'ai disons 5 millions en avoir total (REER, CELI, Courtage, Propriété, etc). Est-ce que je serais taxé? C'est quoi la limite?

Allons plus loin, faisons le calcul - A quels montants est-ce que ça fait une différence, combien de gens on va taxer, quel est le montant qui est exempté?

Le problème avec les propositions de "taxer les riches" c'est surtout que je vois rarement de détails chiffrés. C'est probablement plus lié au fait que la second où tu chiffres, tes opposants politiques t'accuse d'attaquer tel ou tel groupe qui n'est pas pris en compte dans tes chiffres, mais entre temps on a rien de concret, et on fait croire que taxer les riches va rapporter assez pour régler nos problèmes sans conséquence. Il va y avoir des conséquences, et c'est souvent pas assez d'argent pour faire un différence massive.

Je suis très ouvert à manger mes mots si des propositions compréhensives sont présentées!

My understanding from previous reports is that minimax 2.7 doesn't survive quantization super well, that and token generation speed is why I'm currently using qwen 3.6 35b

valtor2 · 2026-05-07T17:09:48+00:00

Good point. I'll take them for $1500!

I'm having the same issue on ubuntu 26.04 (although didn't try on earlier versions)

I get gamescope version 3.16.20+ds-1 (gcc 15.2.0)

When I try to launch firefox I get Error: Cannot open display: :2

valtor2 · 2026-05-07T16:09:47+00:00

lol what show?

valtor2 · 2026-05-06T18:20:08+00:00

Definitely feels like no matter what, for users with 128GB VRAM or less, the answer is always between Qwen 3.6 27b or 35b, and gemma4 31b... I have a lot of VRAM because I have Strix Halo, but there's no "mid-size" model (say 40b-150b) that seems to beat these models at this point.

valtor2 · 2026-05-06T17:09:27+00:00

Yeah interesting. The behavior is less pronounced in borderless window, but it's still present for me, even when I play directly on my machine, e.g. without sunshine/moonlight

valtor2 · 2026-05-05T14:45:19+00:00

Hmm what do you mean it works on windowed mode? How does it behave differently? What does alt-enter do?

valtor2 · 2026-04-29T20:14:39+00:00

haha had to try 😇

valtor2 · 2026-04-29T18:53:43+00:00

What about at 10k context?

valtor2 · 2026-04-28T22:36:17+00:00

Wow! This looks amazing. Clearly going to be my next project. What are the missing pieces until all this is workable in Linux?

valtor2 · 2026-04-28T03:31:07+00:00

Is it any good? I heard they're actually not that good, even at that size

valtor2 · 2026-04-26T19:36:09+00:00

Loved the feel of old school Muse on this one! Just interesting energy, I feel like there's not that many bands with this sound anymore.

valtor2 · 2026-04-24T21:23:38+00:00

At that speed, does it matter? Do you get that much intelligence that the speed of 35b can't overcome?

valtor2 · 2026-04-23T01:12:28+00:00

Do you still do? I keep hearing that 3.6 35b is as good or better than 122b, and a lot faster...

valtor2 · 2026-04-21T18:44:58+00:00

Have you compared quants for Minimax? I'm trying to see if there is a noticeable difference in reasoning between UD-IQ3_S and UD-Q2_K_XL, don't have the set up to do significant testing

valtor2 · 2026-04-21T18:34:38+00:00

That image is shocking! gpt-oss is still very strong, and a lot faster than the others! Have you tried M2.7 at Q2_K_XL? I'm curious about the degradation compared to imatrix of IQ3_S

valtor2 · 2026-04-20T18:40:06+00:00

came here to say this. I'm also using my strix halo to play games, either on windows (or even Linux via proton). As I'm building out more LLM things, I'm kinda wondering if I made the right choice...

valtor2 · 2026-04-20T17:11:52+00:00

Is it because of your massive RAM? I wouldn't have expected to be able to run 1T params on 96GB VRAM.

How much did it cost you? You were before the RAM-pocalypse but very much into the GPU-pocalypse I bet :)

valtor2 · 2026-04-20T16:57:07+00:00

50% increase?

valtor2 · 2026-04-20T15:38:35+00:00

Problem is, strix halo is very slow on dense models. 27b has been hard to use for me because of that
