The emotional outburst of 'this feels quick', is about the same when going from 100mbps to 1gbps, and 1gbps to 2.5gbps, from 2.5 to 10gbps,and then to 100gbps to 400gbps.

Here’s a nice gift from @RedHat_AI to anyone running consumer Blackwell!
Excited to run a DSpark vs DFlash2 comparison here 🤩
Now stack it with quantization. Pair the speculator above with our NVFP4 checkpoint: a 4-bit, Blackwell-native target, with DSpark's faster decoding on top.
Serve RedHatAI/Qwen3.8-27B-NVFP4 with the DSpark speculative-config (method dspark, 8 tokens).

How far people will go.... rather than use ssh. Or is this just a case of people who don't know Linux and could benefit from knowing a bit more ?
DGX Sparks have heads now!
What’s everyone’s favorite remote login for Linux?
I like having a virtual option too.
Tried NoMachine but don’t love the UX so far.

Scotland anyone ?
We’ve had no enquiries for Marley, can you please share to help her on her way?
Marley is a beautiful 5 year old female Rottweiler.
She is available and looking for a home with someone who has experience with larger dogs.
Marley has lived with other dogs however there has been some dominance in the house between them so she would be best as the only pet.
Marley is friendly and loving, a home with older kids is better as she will knock small children over.
Marley is chipped and healthy with no medical issues.
She eats a mix of raw food and sleeps in the kitchen at night.
Marley can be left alone if you need to go out. She is also registered at the vets and great travelling in the car.
She loves a treat and wears a Halti when walked.
Marley loves meeting new people and loves getting a cuddle, she will jump up for attention if she isn’t getting it.
Marley is up to date with her vaccinations. She will come back when food is involved but otherwise doesn’t have much recall. She loves honey ham.
A home with no cats is required.
For more information or to offer a home please email the rehome team directly info@help2rehome.com

Increasingly, on the other side is an AI bot trying to engagement farm. Sometimes, yes there are people too.
Gentle reminder that this site can turn you cruel if you’re not careful
Remember, on the other side there is a person, you gotta do right by them from wherever you're standing, however big or small you are and the people you're talking to are
Stay kind, stay human

So many people on here showing off tok/sec and performance numbers with no real tech depth of what they are doing == they are just making shit up.
Then you see the useless models they are working with == confirmation of making shit up.

At it's fundamental feature side of things, what3words has been dangerous. Often putting similar words close but not close enough etc
what3words has seen its revenue halve in the last year.
It has gone from £2.1m in 2024 to £1.1m in 2025.
At its height the company was valued in the hundreds of millions.
I have always believed this company to be a stain on the UK tech ecosystem, and essentially a ponzi scheme defrauding investors.
The senior leaders were paying themselves £300k and paying for extravagant work trips around the world.
All the while the company never managed to bring in any meaningful revenue.
Earlier this year it ran a secondary sale at a £50m valuation.
In the crowdfund deck it did not disclose financials results ANY WHERE.
It has literally burnt through hundreds of millions of dollars across over 10 years.
Running a secondary sale while revenue was dropping without telling ANY investors is SHOCKING.

Oh look.

Looks like @ScanComputers have some as well.
If anyone in the UK is looking for a NVidia DGX Spark theitbay.com/hp-zgx-nano-g1n… is the HP ZGX model. Reach out to James - James does deals.

I have a pair of really nice @HPE 24 port switches here at home, proper enterprise kit bought off a bargain basement seller off eBay in 2016 for about £20 each.
Problem is that I have clumps of kit. Here there everywhere. Result ? I have 4 cheapass 2.5gbps 8port rando I got off Amazon for £30 each. The HPs are now a spine only, while the actual network is pants.

What are people doing with this hybrid r9700 & 395+ machine? Was there a specific inference stack that targets it ?
We've made some small changes to the box, so today is shooting day. And we're literally cooking since the kitchen has the best light in the office office lol
Coming soon on lucebox.com

The @Qualcomm X2 Elite was announced in Sept 2025, with devices available from Jan 2026.
We are now in Sept 2026.
The big thing for Qualcomm today is X2 Elite.
That tells you everything you need to know about how well things are going over there.
Are they about to have their intel moment ? Stock at -200% soon ?

That have only been saying this for years now. Till the upstream patches show up, don't believe that they are going to invest in here.
This is BIG news for Snapdragon PCs. 🐧💻
Qualcomm is bringing upstream Linux support to Snapdragon X2, including drivers for the Adreno GPU and Hexagon NPU.
And there’s already a roadmap:
🐧 Debian support targeted by the end of 2026
🟠 Ubuntu certification targeted for the first half of 2027
🎮 Upstream Adreno GPU support
🧠 Hexagon NPU support for AI workloads
This could make Snapdragon X2 machines a LOT more interesting beyond Windows. 👀
ARM Linux laptops with proper hardware support? YES PLEASE. 🔥

Keen to hear and see more of this. As someone who has had to wear glasses for a long time to be able to read a screen, this could be helpful.
Have tried a few hanky janky tennis with the quest and hdmi usb bobs - for limited success.
Meta VR Glasses -- private cinema, a workstation with multiple monitors, and a game console in a pair of high-res glasses. Our first time delivering VR in glasses rather than a full headset -- really a glimpse of the future.

Was it 2024 when they said something similar ?
Qualcomm is officially supporting Linux on its Snapdragon X2 series chips. Debian support is coming "at the end of this year" 🤯 theverge.com/news/999664/qua…

Said this elsewhere as well. When we all look at open source and open enablement as a equality metric - @nvidia and @AIatAMD meanwhile building moats.
We just hit under 100 Sparks left at Microcenters across the nation only 9 more stores have them in stock... Look at this freaking sell of!
Absolutely insane.

True open systems need open enablement end 2 end as well. Just the software and data isn't enough. We need a cross competitive, open platform from.the hardware up - without that we don't have real equality.
Open systems always end up winning because openness is freedom and we all are meant to be free
Opensource AI Must Win
