taking this very post from flagged trash can and posting again - is definitively a such act

What is the difference between the UD and non-UD files?

UD stands for "Unsloth-Dynamic" which upcasts important layers to higher bits. Non UD is just standard llama.cpp quants. Both still use our calibration dataset.

Please consider authoring a single, straightforward introductory-level page somewhere that explains what all the filename components mean, and who should use which variants.

The green/yellow/red indicators for different levels of hardware support are really helpful, but far from enough IMO.


Oh good idea! In general UD-Q4_K_XL (Unsloth Dynamic 4bits Extra Large) is what I generally recommend for most hardware - MXFP4_MOE is also ok

Is there some indication on how the different bit quantization affect performance? IE I have a 5090 + 96GB so I want to get the best possible model but I don't care about getting 2% better perf if I only get 5 tok/s.

It takes download time + 1 minute to test speed yourself, you can try different quants, it's hard to write down a table because it depends on your system ie. ram clock etc. if you go out of gpu.

I guess it would make sense to have something like max context size/quants that fit fully on common configs with gpus, dual gpus, unified ram on mac etc.


Testing speed is easy yes, I'm mostly wondering about the quality difference between Q6 vs Q8_K_XL for example.

I haven't done benchmarking yet (plan to do them), but it should be similar to our post on DeepSeek-V3.1 Dynamic GGUFs: https://unsloth.ai/docs/basics/unsloth-dynamic-2.0-ggufs

The green/yellow/red indicators are based on what you set for your hardware on huggingface.

What is your definition of "important" in this context?


My experience with IRC has always been the same, including present day libera.

Almost all the channels are dominated by a few terminally-online people with zero emotional intelligence and the biggest god complexes you've ever seen. Everything is black-and-white, and daring to suggest otherwise just gets you attacked.

Some will say "just use /ignore", but that's not very helpful when most conversations always involve said problematic people and their walls of text... you just constantly see one-sided conversations now.


Gentoo already has elogind which mimics the necessary systemd facilities... surely that could be used on other distros/OSes to support PLM as well.

Yeah, elogind + sddm is what I'm running on Void Linux with KDE.

When we had to bypass the onboard UARTs: https://0x0.st/PbKT.jpg

Is this really easier to work with than bodge wire (wire wrap)? Asking because I still have a few rolls and would rather not waste money.

I have 31 AWG wire. I wouldn't use anything else for PCB rework. Bends so easily, no stripping necessary, and the roll will never run out.

This pic is quite unsettling, I didn't understand why at first, but this blue wire pinched under the bolt...

Mechanical stress relief is my guess !

> They have no backend systems access and just run through the AWS equivalent of "reboot it", "defrag your disk"

To be fair I would bet money that the overwhelmingly vast majority of support tickets are exactly those kind of issues, and ones that refer to actual bugs on their end are, comparatively, extremely rare, and should have to be escalated through normal procedures to weed out common problems.


Last time I checked you had to pay something like $400/mo extra for legit, timely human support from AWS.

I know I will get downvoted for this and people will just say "you're doing it wrong" or "the library wasn't designed for that" but I still think it would be really helpful for some people if the source of the data to swap out could be retrieved from parsing the response data as JSON and grabbing a certain named key.

Yes one can add a callback function to parse the data as JSON, do error handling etc. and then swap the text/HTML, but having that built in to a hx-foo attribute would be a lot easier.


Htmx has events you can listen to like htmx after response. You can think of it almost like a middleware. After the response comes in, your callback is triggered and you can make the callback look up some attribute given the calling parents attribute that you might call hx-json-key.

Yes you have to add this yourself, but you only need to add one js function once and be done with it.

I've used the callback pattern for custom error handling for all hx responses.


I'm really struggling to think of a scenario where I would want to do something like that.

What use case do you have in mind?


Re-using existing API calls that I can't change, where I want to replace the text of an html element with the text from a specific key in a json response.

No idea much about htmx but can we write custom extension something to add to htmx ?

Wireguard to where? Another ISP/VPN that can also sell/MITM your traffic just as well? Non-residential exit IPs are also very often blocked by many websites.

Residential ISPs are well setup for monitoring home traffic (and legally required to in most places). A VPS in a different jurisdiction is vastly less likely to be good at it.

https fixes that mostly - unless your talking about metadata

It is all metadata at this point. With statistical monitoring and sharing of netflow data, there is no anonymity on the internet.

Entire businesses specialize in this; Nokia and Kentik.


You occasionally get blocked, but not that often if you can putup with a few more captchas. Can't remember it ever being more then a minor inconvenience and well worth this cost.

My home internet is 5G, and many, many websites are blocked or have infinite captcha loops... even well-known sites. Etsy is blocked. Reddit/Discord/Locals is blocked. Archive.is only captcha loops. Even libera IRC is blocked. Trying to buy products online often gets the order flagged or canceled as a potential bot or VPN. IPs are rotated often so I unfortunately have to share bad-reputation IPs with people who keep the addresses on global blacklists like DroneBL that are used by many sites. Even 4chan blocks most of the IPs I get because other people post CP from there.

Trying to use a VPS/cloud IP or well-known VPN provider, the experience for me is just as bad or worse.

For some, the issue is a lot worse than you think.


Thank cgnat

> The power to break into citizens residences

It was already ruled unconstitutional about 2 weeks ago:

https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/26503916-ice-mn-garr...

If you think the courts are going to keep letting it happen anyway without any consequences... have some faith. Justice moves slowly but hope is not lost.


Thanks for posting that link, but after reading it, I'm not nearly as hopeful as you are:

> Also on January 12, 2026, the Court ordered Respondents to respond to the Petition by January 15, 2026 at 11:00 a.m., certifying the true cause and proper duration of Petitioner’s confinement and showing cause as to why the writ should not be granted in this case. Respondents entered an appearance that day but have not filed any response to the Petition.

The government didn't even bother responding to the habeas petition because they knew what they were doing was unconstitutional, but it still successfully sows fear.

Worse, ICE detained the man again less than 24 hours after he was released on the judge's orders and called it a "mistake": https://youtu.be/jmoF63Msk0Y

I know who the domestic terrorists are, and it sure as hell isn't Renee Good or Alex Pretti.


I hope you are right, but the administration does not tend to follow court orders. They break the law and then use every legal mechanism at their disposal to slow walk cases through the system. And then, as I say, they do not follow rulings except under the most extreme pressure.

I have about as much faith in the courts ability to actually walk any of this back as I do in their ability to return the families they have kidnapped from my community.

Sorry if I'm skeptical.


Sadly paywalled and [dead] on HN, still:

points out a current trend.


I'll relax when it gets through SCOTUS (who has overturned nearly 90% of lower conservative court rulings to be in Trump's favor) and not a moment before.

I’ll relax when the state courts get jurisdiction over rogue federal employees.
