[01:37:39] + brothchild one of my best online friends died i just found out. he was a really good guy.

[01:37:56] + brothchild you guys can be my new friends

[01:38:08] + brothchild yeah man

[01:38:24] + brothchild ty

[01:39:16] + brothchild what are you makings?

[01:40:47] + brothchild heh i almost started saying 'to be fair..' but no, not with microsoft

[01:40:58] + brothchild ah

[01:41:43] + brothchild gj

[01:48:40] + brothchild Accuracy is nearing a level where i begin to wonder if there's gains to be had in limiting training to a focused set of languages

[01:49:00] + brothchild I imagine there's a lot of webdev knowledge in models that i could do without.

[01:49:39] + brothchild It seems we're not really capturing possible inference speed gains with more domain-limited models

[01:49:44] + brothchild but that's just a strong hunch

[01:50:57] + brothchild On the other hand the models learn many more general concepts being imprinted by a larger set of problems

[01:51:04] + brothchild https://heise.de

[01:52:06] + brothchild be careful

[02:04:33] + brothchild fetch quest completed ✓

[02:05:07] + brothchild the guys at ByteShape are putting out the most kickass quants on the planet, bar none

[02:05:47] + brothchild their 2.69bpw mixquant of qwen3.5-35b-a3b was hitting 4.6t/s on 16GB office laptop

[02:06:25] + brothchild grabbing a similar unsloth to compare

[02:06:53] + brothchild https://huggingface.co/byteshape/Qwen3.5-35B-A3B-GGUF/tree/main

[02:07:37] + brothchild using vulkan with the vega8 gpu for almost no effective acceleration, but nice cpu offloading and almost no temp rise in inference

[02:08:27] + brothchild looks like a valid png to me rdr

[02:08:45] + brothchild Image Width: 663 Image Length: 945

[02:08:45] + brothchild Bitdepth (Bits/Sample): 8

[02:09:03] + brothchild i prefer to avoid using browser when i can

[02:09:35] + brothchild any computer if you run a small enough model

[02:09:48] + brothchild LFM2 models are real fast, try their 8B-A1B

[02:10:25] + brothchild there's a lot of open parameters to that question

[02:11:42] + brothchild memory capacity is one, rough estimate min 1/2 of parameter size 27B model min 16GB for practical chat use, 24GB for agentic

[02:12:38] + brothchild then togen generation speed is a product firstly of memory speed, and prompt procession more influenced by matrix computation

[02:12:41] + brothchild token

[02:13:21] + brothchild cheapest option for qwen3.6 27b which everyone's creaming over would be "any rtx 3090 you can find in some old gaming pc"

[02:14:19] + brothchild i'm mostly playing with llm and image gen $100 laptop

[02:14:32] + brothchild bit autistic about ricing things

[02:15:37] + brothchild is MoE something you know about?

[02:16:37] + brothchild a lot of people were very loyal to qwen2.5-coder i wouldn't write it off

[02:16:58] + brothchild but to start with i'd look at their latest

[02:17:27] + brothchild are you more interested in agentic? try to let the model go out read docs, run tests, change files?

[02:17:58] + brothchild or more a chat consultant model that can spit out functions and programs that you review and copy from?\

[02:18:42] + brothchild for agentic some people like to split things into a larger slower orchestrator/planner and smaller faster 'workers'

[02:19:32] + brothchild i don't think that's for me though. i wouldn't use something i didn't at least review and tweak. to many stupid decisions for my tastes.

[02:20:07] + brothchild most people are using some size of recent Qwen3.x or gemma-4

[02:22:18] + brothchild should work

[02:23:10] + brothchild i scored a thinkpad t495 with broken trackpad andn 8GB RAM for 89€

[02:23:25] + brothchild remembering how much money I blew on thinkpads.... and this is the best one yet

[02:23:33] + brothchild crazytimes

[02:24:11] + brothchild added another 8GB for 14€ before rampocalypse to get 2ch and 33GB/s RAM speed

[02:24:42] + brothchild well 33GB is a lot faster than my arm SBC

[02:24:52] + brothchild but my rtx 3090 has 1000GB/s or so

[02:25:21] + brothchild i just don't like turning on 'the chonk pc' so much

[02:26:23] + brothchild also for agentic people end up needing a lot of context, so that requires a lot of vram

[02:26:49] + brothchild mhm

[02:27:28] + brothchild mhm so for qwen27b they say tey need 32GB VRAM

[02:27:40] + brothchild though it technically can run in 16

[02:27:49] + brothchild +

[02:28:39] + brothchild do you have strong preference for small, low power?

[02:29:33] + brothchild standard pc kit with gpu probably lower cost

[02:30:00] + brothchild if your model gits in your gpu you don't need to spend on system DRAM

[02:30:03] + brothchild fits

[02:30:23] + brothchild can use old ddr4 pc

[02:30:35] + brothchild the uglier the better :P

[02:31:25] + brothchild if llm inference is the goal and not "run any AI github project" then AMD GPU is also viable

[02:31:38] + brothchild vulkan inference is now breddy good

[02:31:45] + brothchild the CUDA monopoly is broken for llm at least

[02:32:05] + brothchild i think it is

[02:34:25] + brothchild vega8 doesn't have the good matrix ops for llm though, it's what i'm running

[02:34:35] + brothchild so you'd want a seperate gpu

[02:35:18] + brothchild or you can run slow like me and just enjoy watching what it finishes with after a few minutes

[02:36:29] + brothchild :)

[02:41:04] + brothchild practical lookin guitar. handles!

[02:42:03] + brothchild sellin for 600-700€ here

[02:42:25] + brothchild nice deal

[02:43:17] + brothchild my friend learned guitar because we decided to form a band and were like "okay who can play this thing" and he seemed to suck least

[02:44:28] + brothchild he never got into it as a musician, just figured out how to play our 5 cover songs :)

[02:44:39] + brothchild focused attention

[02:45:03] + brothchild not bad though, could play Turning Japanese by The Vapors, just fine

[02:45:19] + brothchild I was the only one who could sing that

[02:45:51] + brothchild So our first gig, i'm singing it at a frat party. And this girl just decided i'm the greatest thing ever

[02:46:01] + brothchild a 17 year old singing a song abut masturbating

[02:46:07] + brothchild lol

[02:46:53] + brothchild great girl but a pronounced underbite that always made me think of a grandma

[02:47:31] + brothchild it's upsetting to me that a guitar needs windows software

[02:48:20] + brothchild you made dis??

[02:48:35] + brothchild that's so cool

[02:48:51] + brothchild happy to

[02:50:38] + brothchild i must study your fft/spectrum

[02:51:11] + brothchild when you say port, this is some original code from winamp in here?

[02:51:36] + brothchild not sure

[02:52:13] + brothchild the git clone is at 160MB and it looks like it will go to 1600 MB download

[02:53:35] + brothchild you really implemented a lot

[02:53:51] + brothchild praise to the thoroughness

[02:54:13] + brothchild i will try to be more like End3r

[02:55:54] + brothchild this *might* get me away from bash script + mpv, for a while at least

[02:56:55] + brothchild great project

[02:58:43] + brothchild and just by synchronicity like the only other guy active on all IRC just showed me his new milkdrop creation https://github.com/jellieware/Van-Gogh-X-Milkdrop-Preset

[02:59:12] + brothchild well like 40 min ago, still funny

[03:10:38] + brothchild muahahahaha

[03:10:42] + brothchild i habeeb

[03:10:58] + brothchild oh no wait i ran out of space downloading >_<

[03:11:04] + brothchild ha

[03:12:40] + brothchild ♪ I was careless and lazy ♪ Now there's tobacco in my tea ♪

[03:15:32] + brothchild ok will do

[03:16:40] + brothchild Receiving objects: 0% (173/18231

[03:16:52] + brothchild so you removed bigfiles? still looks like many files

[03:21:45] + brothchild is the equalizer using original winamp code for EQ filters?

[03:22:02] + brothchild or some lib..

[03:22:15] + brothchild darr... qt6 does eq on audio?

[03:22:32] + brothchild asking about audio processing

[03:22:48] + brothchild yeah i'm ... also having pain in the eq

[03:23:03] + brothchild mine works but sound could be better

[03:24:01] + brothchild ah nice 624MB now ty

[03:24:37] + brothchild think i got all your requirements already

[03:25:14] + brothchild ok no not all the qt6

[03:25:54] + brothchild all projects should makings the nice 'tree' graph of dir structure ++

[03:30:33] + brothchild i have qt6 cmake issues

[03:30:58] + brothchild not finding "opengl" so installed libqt6opengl6-dev

[03:31:19] + brothchild pls ignore me

[03:31:22] + brothchild i fix

[03:34:29] + brothchild something is not right with distro's qt6 -dev files it looks like

[03:34:46] + brothchild i will look at your next version then - other things to do

[03:35:17] + brothchild c++ and hate will get you far

[03:36:12] + brothchild my NeXT freak friends were all "C++ is the false prophet! ObjC is the way"

[03:36:26] + brothchild i'm too stupid for those discussions

[03:43:31] + brothchild you mean the audio processing of the EQ or the display of the EQ?

[03:44:26] + brothchild my nick is too incendiary i think i change it
