Hi All, I just got a P100, and although it appears to work, i cant quite get gemma4 to run on it properly.

My setup is:

• Ubuntu 22.04 VM
• PCI passthrough the GPU (Connected via thunderbolt) (I know this is unideal, and I might try cut this out later)
• Nvidia 580 driver installed.
• llama.cpp built from source, with cuda enabled.

I got some mostly normal output from qwen, but whenever I try to load gemma4 I get a lot of <unused49><unused49><unused49><unused49>. I did have it briefly working, no idea what changed, but reboot and its back to unused spam.

Anyone hit this before? Ideas on what I should try change?

Top comes out on the roof:

Not sure what happens below. Haven't gone under the house to inspect. Seems like a vent that travels through the wall space, but unclear why it would do that.

Any ideas what its purpose is?

How could Dan do this to us?

Hi All, I have a Sony A9, which I have been using for Aurora photography. The last time I went out, I shot at 6400iso, 2s exposures, and nearly all of the photos I got have a ton of "stuck" pixels. See the video, skip halfway in, and look at the rocks in the bottom right.

I have had a play with the the camera with the lens cap on, and at low isos, there are no stuck pixels, it's only once I go past 640 (the second iso range) that the issue appears. Has anyone seen this kind of thing before? Is it repairable? I'm guessing most of you shoot at iso100, but for aurora it was nice to get the shorter shutter speeds.

Congrats to everyone who took part, and thank you to everyone who contributed here, in the solutions and visualization threads.

If anyone knows of a similar event that runs during the year, please do reach out, I would be happy to run more events like this.

Happy new year!

Every year, I grab my camera and head out to try take a photo of a firework. Every year I get a blurry mess of poorly exposed photos. This is the best one I got this year.

Hi all, I have a Netgear D7800 that I have run openwrt on for a long time. Does anyone else have one (or similar) and how do I get sysupgrades working? They error out when I upload a sysupgrade image, with an error about unsupported partition layout.

But as far as I can tell, I have a v2.0 layout, as I flashed a factory openwrt image manually. Is sysupgrade just not supported at all anymore (and if so, why do the images still exist?), or do I need to do something to reenable it?

Just letting everyone know that I'll post the final leaderboard new years day, so get your final solves in over the new few days!
