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

Things like the number of GPU layers, whether to use flash attention or not, enabling MTP, playing with context size.

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.

I think the point is to reproduce the sound of those hundreds of feet of standard run-of-the-mill cabling as faithfully as possible ;)

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.
