According to Gemini to run full 256k context window with unified RAM

4-bit Quantized (Q4_K_M GGUF): You need at least 25 GB of total RAM. This is the most practical configuration for consumer hardware.

8-bit Quantized (Q8_0 / SFP8): You need at least 32 GB to 36 GB of RAM

Uncompressed 16-bit (BF16): You will need upwards of 45 GB to 50 GB of RAM to account for both the 26.7 GB base model and the massive KV cache.

I don't know, but for me setting temperature to 0 has a noticeable impact. I don't think you need a fine tune.

Gemma 4 31b is better for coding than Gemini in my limited testing on a small C project single source file project, less than 1000 lines. Setting temperature to 0 gives better results for me. It seems like Gemini ignores the system prompt more and the default reasoning output seems more incoherent.

C. At least with Gemma 4 it does a fine job. Writes good error checking. Writes memory management. Mostly straightforward and easy to read. A lot of libraries. Runs everywhere.

JPEG codec

MPEG 1 codec

Minimal HTTP server of actually used features.

Over the past couple of weeks I wrote a macos/ios app with objc and c. It's like a 2d game with most code in C which is also used on Linux. Draws the whole view with MTKView and uses udp with bsd sockets.

I mainly chose it for the c interoperability and I don't have any interest in swift.

Increasing pixel count increases processing in all image gen im aware of.

I guess my question is more about why the tradeoff to higher resolutions is taken when resolution is clearly not a limiting factor for displaying something that looks real.

Aside from stylistic choices on look.

I think increasing fps does make something look more real. I wasn't really talking about "film look" related to 24 fps

There's a scale and on one end is the real world and the other is pong or something. I would put 640x480 camera captured images closer to real life than any game I've seen.

At a minimum, more processing sells more hardware

The easiest terrorist attack is getting a few people to rent apartments with gas across a city, leave the gas open on the stove for a day or whatever, and then simultaneously ignite.

Piping an explosive gas all over cities just seems like a generally bad idea.

Why isn't this the discussion?

Familiarity with video processing, computer vision, http, surfing a plus.

Will be off grid for a week so don't expect a quick response.

I bought a USB C SanDisk 1TB external drive a few years ago. With included USB C cable it connects at 10Gbps. With the included USB A adapter it connects at 480Mbps. That's only use is connecting for transfers.

With a separately purchased USB C to USB A cable it connects to the same USB A port at 10Gbps and transfers about twice as fast.

FWIW.

Nice to see someone else thinks about this.

In my personal project webserver I don't. I didn't measure, but just trying not to do unnecessary work.

I agree with the first sentence. I don't think in 2023 a new programming language will help humans in a significant way.
