I don't think you're wrong that tiny pacific island nations are not stable or reliable, at this point they're all either a client state of China, the USA or Australia. But I think it's also unfair and mean spirited to

Something I've noticed is that if you run Qwen 3.6 35B-A3B (Q8) with a low temperature of 0.4, and leave default reasoning turned on, it will spend quite a lot of time in reasoning/thinking mode. But often it does figure out how t

I'm curious, where are you seeing M.2 2230 to M.2 2280 size NVME SSE that exceed 4.5 to 5GB/s sequential reads for large files such as a GGUF (likefrom an ordinary ext4fs file system with default options)? The PCI-E 4.0 or 5.0 bu

For one, doing the math on what it costs to rent a 768GB+ RAM AWS system with 40+ high performance CPU cores makes it very unappealing to pay for 12, 24, 36 months of it. The largest high performance compute ec2 offering, the c9g.metal-48xl

I realized I didn't answer the CPU question, as a very quickly chosen example from eBay, there's a Dell R740XD with two Xeon Gold 6254 CPUs, 768GB RAM for sale for something like $5799 USD right now. I'm sure if I put some

I was just using that as an example of constant on going price rises, it was the most mundane and not particularly fast ddr5 6000 stuff. The 6400 is even more ridiculous.

Most any ticketing system can integrate with ordinary IMAP and smtp email flow, so you can really use any agent that can "do" inbound and outbound email to talk to a self hosted ticket queue.

For 10k you can buy a used dual socket Intel or amd based rackmount server with a terabyte of ram, and run models on cpu only at a reasonable speed. Same server would have been 4-5k a couple years ago before ram price rise. Or buy one on eB

Q8 isn't overkill if you have sufficient RAM to fit the whole model, and you care about quality. There's a number of people who have enough hardware to fit exactly one 27B to 35B size Q8 model and not more than that, so if you can

I think if you had something like a theoretical used/refurb 2U rackmount server with two older multi core CPUs, 768GB of RAM, you would see faster performance loading a Q6 or Q8 GGUF of GLM5.2 into a freshly-compiled latest copy of lla

I have a 16-core system with 256GB RAM here I could try it with but regretfully it's so old the CPUs aren't AVX2 capable. Otherwise it makes a fairly good llama-server test system for CPU only stuff. Oh well. Time to upgrade (pain

Gibson was also not a microcomputer enthusiast at the time he wrote the book, and didn't know much about the inner workings of PCs that ordinary people could afford with a regular amount of money in the late 70s/early 80s. As I
