I have the opposite experience. Plex, nextcloud, minecraft servers, and ~10 websites are all hosted on a Beelink N100. It stays cool and quiet.

There are certainly challenges. When setting up a new model, I get AI to walk me through the commands using llama-benchmark that determine the best parameters for my particular configuration and needs. Once you've got that it's pretty easy to port those parameters to llama-server. It takes me about an hour to run through this process. It would be great if there was a registry of hardware, models, configuration parameters, and resulting tokens per second. Maybe one day we'll get there.

I used to invent TLAs on the spot for fun, and when someone asked what it was, would respond, "It's a PUA", eventually revealing that meant "previously unknown acronym". It was even more annoying that it sounds.

Also a musician and I don't think it's that amusing. IMO this isn't an "AI can't be art" discussion. It's about the fact that AI can be used to extract value from other artists' work without consent, and then out-compete them on volume by flooding the marketplace.

Re:So you wanna build a local RAG?
on Saturday November 29, 2025 @08:48AM (#46087516)
Do you have a standard prompt you use for this? I have definitely seen agentic tools doing this for me, e.g., when searching the local file system, but I'm not sure if it native behaviour for tool-using LLMs or if it is coerced via prompts.
Re:Agent Design Is Still Hard
on Saturday November 22, 2025 @10:27AM (#46015473)
This sounds interesting. What about the agent behavior itself? How it decides how to come at a problem, what to show the user along the way, and how it decides when to stop? Are these things you have attempted to grapple with in your framework?

For younger users of the internet, it's hard to overstate how omnipresent the AOL brand was. The marketing team was on overdrive, all the time. And their marketing CDs probably caused a noticeable increase in CD-ROM adoption.
