Unsloth Dynamic. Don't bother with anything else.

UD-Q4_K_XL?

The cheapest option is two 3060 12G cards. You'll be able to fit the Q4 of the 27B or 35B with an okay context window.

If you want to spend twice as much for more speed, get a 3090/4090/5090.

If you want long context, get two of them.

If you have enough spare cash to buy a car, get an RTX Ada with 96G VRAM.


Thanks this is a great summary of the tradeoffs!

Rtx 6000 pro Blackwell, not ada, for 96GB.

Big deal, so does every other company.

If you're lonely just upload a few AI keywords to a repo. You'll get emails forever.


At 8 years old I was able to expertly dismantle many radios.

Was still a few years away from reassembly.


At 8 years I recycled filesystem directories. I didn't know you can create new folders, so when I needed one I grabbed a random one from C:\Windows, moved it to my desktop and deleted its contents.

That’s funny. When I was little I found “format” in my mp3 player’s settings. Thought it would customize the UI or something, but instead I ended up with no music for the rest of the road trip.

Makes total sense, it used to be called "Recycle Bin" after all!

I wonder if Microsoft did focus group testing and found understandably computer illiterate people were concerned about "trashing" files meant they were somehow permanently using up HDD space

Worked ok til it was a system dir and the system wouldn’t boot anymore? :)

No better way to learn System32 folder was essential is Windows than by destroying your family computer by removing it.

I deleted the files from there to free up disk space

I don't need autoexec.bat or config.sys! it's got some garbage in there that I don't understand, so it must not be important.

I was doing that at three or four and was reminded of it constantly for the next ten years or more. (I actually raised the subject on my mother's death bed.)

When I was a boy all we had were high-voltage vacuum tube electronics, it was fun.

Next step is to skip the bread and eat Nutella from the jar with a spoon.

I find dipping a cashew in is even better. The cashew becomes your scooper. The combination is divine.

It feels to me there are plenty of people running these because "just trust the AI bro" who are one hallucination away from having their entire bank account emptied.

Exactly, I've seen people who bought a Mac Mini and ended up running claw against a claude subscription. Completely misunderstand the point of local models. Plus, there was more hype about running claw way cheaper on Raspberry Pi which cost the stock price of Raspberry maker to skyrocket.

Some of the comments here show that technical people set these things up for non-technical people, which is just one step away from a misstep. Time will show whether this is similar in behavior to the "I can run it" mindset that people had with local models before. A small dopamine hit to see "it can be done" in order to end up a cloud service in the long run.


OpenXcom adds a whole heap of wonderful conveniences to UFO/X-Com. It's probably my favourite open source game engine clone thing.

Dolls / Girls Frontline 2: Exilium[0][1][2] is a modern take on the XCOM concept.

Free (but gacha.)

Hard pass.


Spending money is actually entirely optional.

I personally haven't, because it would take the fun out of the game.


Yeah I know. I lost 2 years to Azur Lane. That was enough.

Love them shipgirls, eh?

Right now, I am caught up with gfl2, and having a blast with Arknights: Endfield. The factory must grow!

In a few weeks, I'll probably be working on my projects and not touching any games at all, as I was just a few weeks ago.

Two years is indeed a bit too much. Got to do something else when it stops being fun. I had to learn that lesson with a few months of DOTA2; it can turn into a job, except that it produces nothing of value.

For me that's OpenMW

Not Claude, but there are open-weight LLMs trained specifically on Ghidra decomp and tested on their ability to help reverse engineers make sense of it:

https://huggingface.co/LLM4Binary/llm4decompile-22b-v2

There's also a dataset floating around HF which is... I think a popular N64 decomp to pseudo-C? Maybe the Mario one?


This whole article is incorrect rubbish.

The driver for the 440BX's separate i82443bxgx EDAC chip is being removed as it hasn't actually worked for 19 years. This is the driver for things like ECC memory fault detection and correction.

The 440BX chipset itself is still supported and works fine. Removing support for that hardware would break billions of active virtual systems and I doubt the Linux kernel would allow such a disruptive change.

Yet another instance of a mainstream tech journalist not understanding what they're reporting. I expect better from a site like Tom's Hardware. Very disappointing.


At work we had a server called "fubar".

I said this is going to inadvertently end up in customer communication, maybe we shouldn't be implying the word "fuck" to customers.

Management agreed and had it renamed... to foobar.
