Two weeks ago I purchased an M5 Max MacBook Pro 16 inch with 128GB RAM and a 4TB SSD from Microcenter for $5100. (They had a $900 discount on the machine.) Not sure if that deal is…

You don't need all of the model in VRAM. 1 or 2 RTX Pro 6000s will do. $50K will get you there very nicely, and on a 1600 watt PSU if you go for the MAX-Q versions. (The same watta…

Mine, for one. M5 Max MacBook Pro 128GB with a 4TB SSD. $5100 after a $1000 discount at Microcenter. Great deal if you can find it in stock.

Not the new ones. Only the M1 and M2 have good support for Asahi. But you really don't need it. If you need Linux, use a VM (UTM is free and is equivalent to KVM/QEMU in speed, des…

All for $670 :) In all seriousness, I would probably throw $10 at a project to design and implement a modern turbofan FADEC + all of the certification artifacts.

I'm amazed at how many folks on this forum see the Web UI as intrinsically tied to the service. As someone else rightly said, e-mail = IMAP + SMTP. That is true of Gmail as well. F…

Very nice. Primary use case is application development, where the applications leverage a mixture of cloud based and local models. Modelling complex architectures. My work is prima…

That's about what my OC'd and watercooled 4090 runs at. The cards are designed for it. Only problem I have is when sitting next to the computer under load -- I either have to open …

Great article. I'm about to embark on a similar journey.... Doing a ton of AI development right now. Don't need a server, but a very, very high end workstation is super appealing t…

This is awesome.

Agree 100%. In the early days (before Claude Code mastered Rust,) I would get into this annoying pattern where Claude used different names for variables between tests and implement…

Yep... Did this 3 years ago in my home and came to the same conclusion. If I were to do it again, I'd run fiber through the walls instead of Cat-6a. It took forever to find SFP+ mo…

I remember visiting GitHub's downtown SF HQ sometime around 2014 or so... it was soon after they closed their first significant funding round, and years before they were purchased …

It was the best of times. It was the blurst of times.

Also of Xenosaga, and for the same reasons. Although, that's perhaps a more obscure reference (and is a PS2, rather than PC game series.)

I'm looking to replace my worn-out Sony XM-3s and am wondering if the AirPods Max 2 could be a better option than the XM-6s. I've always liked Sony's audio quality and ANC, but fel…

There really is no going back when you go split and tented. I've was on a Kenesis Freestyle for years, then upgraded to a Dygma Raise (V1) about three years ago. It's served me wel…

Just because you’re a good programmer / software engineer doesn’t mean you’re a good architect, or a good UI designer, or a good product manager. Yet in my experience, using LLMs t…

With Claude, I built a TUI for managing QEMU/KVM VMs (Rust with ratatui.) Solves a lot of problems I had with virt-manager, so I made it a FOSSS project. https://www.vm-curator.org…

Superb!

Howdy! A few weeks ago I launched vm-curator as a FOSS hobby project. Since then, the project has matured substantially, solving real-world problems with Linux desktop/workstation …

Assuming you are using the flagship copilot that is a $30 / mo add on to a 365 subscription, and maybe, maybe if Microsoft replaced CoPilot’s “brain” with Opus 4.5. In my experienc…

Actually I just installed it over the weekend in a QEMU/KVM VM on my modern desktop. Took about 20 minutes, and works very nicely. You can give it up to 4GB of RAM. Now, I can't us…

I love the care and polish that went into the Microsoft Windows XP Welcome/Tour app that played after install. That was the peak of the summit—quality wise.
