Paseo is great and has mobile notifications but it’s not as polished as omp web.

roger_on A single function Jev-like wrapper for LLMs, including vision models

I guess “A” by itself would be a seperate token but my point is the model might be trying to say something that begins with that letter rather than actually answering.

You’d need to use an approach that links the output to a closed set.

roger_on A single function Jev-like wrapper for LLMs, including vision models

> Answer with the letter of the best option only [A, B, C]

What if it says "D"? What if it tries to say "Additional details needed"?

(Also no calibration, etc.)

roger_on Homebrew 7.0.0

Does that break anything? Surprised it’s not the default.

roger_on Homebrew 7.0.0

Does installation still require root and a dedicated user account on Linux?

That really put me off.

Always wanted to implement that on a phone, it would be like a superpower!

My iPad is my primary computer so... me.

roger_on Tiny $70 Xteink X3 e-reader

Thanks!

I’m looking for something that pushes portability without compromising too much core usability.

For example I can live without a touch screen if it means high quality physical buttons.

roger_on Tiny $70 Xteink X3 e-reader

Surprised I never heard of this!

Looking to pick one up, any recommendations on X4 Pro vs Classic?

My computer's definitely gonna be faster after this.

~5000 chickens if anyone cares :(

roger_on AirLLM 70B inference with single 4GB GPU

Seeing a lot of these “run 1TB models with 1GB RAM” projects recently. Most seem vibe coded and probably won’t be maintained.

Hoping a winner emerges with some real momentum behind it.

roger_on Tech note: making your own V-I plots at home

I’m familiar with curve tracers but hadn’t heard about source measure units.

Don’t see any on eBay for dirt cheap, wonder what author paid (he said a fraction of retail).

roger_on Benchmarking 15 “E-Waste” GPUs with Modern Workloads

Getting (further) into this myself so good timing. Running Qwen 3.6 27B at decent speed on some old cards but going to branch out.

I bough an Octominer for ~$150 which has power and PCIe slots and a basic Celeron and should let me expand to as many GPUs as I want.

I considered the P100s but I think the V100 16GBs are a better deal at $250. The 32GBs are way too much though.

roger_on Benchmarking 15 “E-Waste” GPUs with Modern Workloads

That’s cool but 7 - 12 tps is frustrating for anything interactive.

roger_on Mesh LLM: distributed AI computing on iroh

Does this support Qwen 3.6 (e.g. 27B) and the myriad of llama.cpp options (batch sizes, quantization, etc.)?

I'd love to see some performance data.

roger_on Opinionated and easy Pi.dev configuration

Funny you mention that because the OMP GitHub issues (https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi/issues) is almost exclusively attended to by a very efficient bot. I routinely submit issues and they’re replicated and resolved (via PRs) in ~30 mins.

To your question: it’s the difference between one person and an agent working on something vs an experienced dev and the entire community.

Time and tokens too of course.

roger_on Opinionated and easy Pi.dev configuration

Currently using Oh My Pi (https://github.com/can1357/oh-my-pi) and appreciate the batteries included approach.

From my limited time using pure Pi, I found quite a few of the plugins lacking and had no desire to upgrade/fix and maintain them myself. I know others feel differently though.

I like the idea of keep Pi minimal but having “official”, high quality optional plugins to make it more usable.

roger_on Home made GPU escalated quickly [video]

Yeah I don’t think I could ever commit to a project like this and of this scale.

Might be different if it was something truly useful or novel vs a nerd snipe.

Very impressive that he pulled it off in a relatively short amount of time.

roger_on NoiseLang: Where N = 5 is a Dirac delta

Definitely going to play around with this, thanks for posting.

I know MCMC isn’t your goal, but seems like this could be used for ABC-MCMC (as is?)

Would also be nice to have an option to plot using a KDE vs histograms.

(Also your FM example seems to be technically PM)

roger_on Herdr: One terminal to rule them all

To monitor and instruct agents.

If there was a mobile app or at least some kind of agent agnostic telegram integration then I'd be more interested.

roger_on Show HN: Davit, a Apple Containers UI

Hmm… how does one even pick between multiple vibe coded options?

I like to vet my options before committing to new software but who knows if the authors are gonna support these in a month? I don’t want to waste Fable tokens to fix bugs myself when they crop up.

roger_on Python 3.14 compiled to metal – no interpreter

This guy is behind the awesome Oh My Pi agent, so I’d give him a chance.

roger_on Podman v6.0.0

Anyone have experience switching from Docker to Podman?

I have a lot of compose files in my homelab/automation setup and those are what I’m most concerned about.

roger_on Zluda 6 release (run unmodified CUDA applications on non-Nvidia GPUs)

Has anyone tried this for LLMs and how does it compare to Vulkan?

roger_on Two Qwen3 models on one DGX Spark: the residency math

How about Qwen3.6? What sort of prefill/decode rates?

Edit: 3.6 not 3.7!
