    Tribalism is human nature, for better or (usually) worse.

    The little print at the end says "Currently only available in India." Reminds me a bit of HMD's KaiOS feature phones but this is apparently Android?

    Have you tried putting the KV cache on the GPU and running inference from RAM? From what I gather, prompt processing is particularly painful using RAM alone.

    Have you tried with a single CPU to get rid of the NUMA penalty? I understand this likely means halving the memory but I am interested in how much of a difference it makes

    Xeon Scalable in general seems like a good idea due to 6-channel (relatively) inexpensive RDIMM memory, but I've been reading that NUMA kills inference performance. Anyone got expe…

    I am still using their Powerline adapters and FWIW they have been very reliable.

    Starlite Mk IV is my favourite "netbook" successor. 0.9 kg, 11.6 1080p IPS display and Linux-first, with coreboot. Unfortunately it is a couple years old by now and you can feel th…

    A lot of people picked up building mechanical keyboards as a hobby during COVID. It probably wouldn't have the same impact today.

    Few new ICs are made available in DIP format. So you basically have to do SMT at some point.

    I've learned to love numpad when I spent some time working in France. On AZERTY layouts you need to press SHIFT for each regular number.

    StarLabs predates Framework by a couple years. Framework just does advertising to geeks better.

    FWIW I have had a StarLite Mk IV for three years now and haven't run into a single issue with it (except maybe the speakers being quite poor). Unfortunately the company stopped rel…

    Technically, you can turn off the sun with a nuclear winter. But in that case your main problem would be starvation anyway.
