    I have exactly one friend. I had two, but one of them recently passed away suddenly. At 51, I can definitely say it's very hard to meet anyone. I guess I need to start playing D&D …

    Hey just a correction, there was indeed a physical release of BG3 on PS5. It was released straight from Larian and came on 2 discs, dual-layer 100GB to be exact. Xbox Series as wel…

    Just a minor correction: Commando is superior to True Lies ;)

    I'm glad our homes aren't shrieking at us at all hours. Amazing story, though.

    I've been running Qwen3.6-27B-IQ4 (4-bit quantized) locally and it's been great. I can't run the non-quantized version as I only have a 4090 w/24 GB of VRAM and it won't fit and le…

    I just have Hermes refer to me as "bro", "dude", but now I'm gonna have to have it incorporate "I'm a complete clown!".

    This may not be exactly what you're asking, but I've been running Hermes using different frontier models (like DeepseekV4-Pro, GLM-5.2, and others) as the heavy lifters but who als…

    I've been working on a home Hermes setup that I'm using to do a variety of things. So far, here's what I've done: - Set up an in-house alternative to my Ring subscription for the c…

    Not saying this is what you did, but I found out the hard way that keeping a context window open for a long time burns tokens like crazy. I had a Hermes session using DeepSeek v4 P…

    I have 24GB of VRAM (via a RTX 4090) and run Qwen3.6-35b:iq4, so it's importance-aware quantization and isn't nearly as dumb as it sounds like, fitting the 35b into 18 GB so you ha…

    I'm running qwen36.:35b:iq4 IQ4_XS quant. Takes 18 GB of RAM with 131k context window. Seems to be really good. Have it running local stuff via Hermes, using a cloud model via Olla…

    Same here, I know why it costs as much as it does, and that doesn't deter me. I want it for my living room, and to just mess around with. Will enter the lottery and hope my number …

    This is really cool! Will sign-up after work as I can't do it from here.

    Dang, really? Why would that be? I mean, I believe you, I'm just shocked. I'm glad I read this, as I was thinking of getting some but not now.
