This is a good time to promote running your own models. I have been running my own models locally and I would wager a local model will meet 85-95% of your needs if you really learn to use it. These models have gotten great. For anyone wanting to get into this, the smartest models to run recently that is consumer friendly was just released, checkout Qwen3.5 the 27B and 35B variants.

I have a 24GB Macbook Pro. I will note, do get the 'Pro' models, the Mac Mini and the Macbook Air do not have internal fans. The Macbook Pro has an internal fan, and the Mac Studio (bigger Mac Mini) has a fan. If you get a Mini, you might want to get one of those docks that cools the Mini. Your hardware will get very hot very quickly. Also, because Apple in their infinite wisdom despite giving you a fan, very lazily…

The Mac Mini does have a fan. It's very quiet, but it's there.

Isn't between Q4-Q6 the usual recommendation for quants? Can you explain the Q8 recommendation, as I was under the impression that if you can run a model at Q8, you should probably run a bigger model in Q4 instead

Even with the same email, probably.

They specifically say you cannot reuse the same email. I also tried after deleting and it said this email has been deleted.

Huh? That seems weird?

So if I no longer want their services for any period of time, they no longer want me as a customer for any reason?

What other business work like that?

Has anyone tried with a long-deleted account email?

Your credibility is shot when you claim that banks will just give you money. They absolutely do not. In fact, Discover has admitted to me in writing, that they always rule in favor of the Merchant if that Merchant responds to the dispute -- regardless of what their response says. I've dealt with multiple chargebacks over the years and have only ever lost once -- when the Manager at Lowes' showed a check they wrote me…

> Discover has admitted to me in writing, that they always rule in favor of the Merchant if that Merchant responds to the dispute -- regardless of what their response says What, always? Like, literally 100% of the time if the merchant responds at all, they automatically win? That's very hard to believe. I don't know Discover but I do know Visa and that's not how their system works at all.

I use Amex as much as possible because it’s basically never a fight. If I dispute, I get my money back. Granted, I don’t abuse the power so maybe I’ve earned some trust over the decades.

Story time! I actually cancelled my ChatGPT subscription in late 2024 and documented the process, kind of as a social media thing because it had gotten so bad and I realized nobody in my family was using it anymore. I asked my wife if she was getting any use out of it and she told me she had been using Gemini and Grok for months because "GPT is very lazy now". After a while another charge came in for the subscription…

> Well, Privacy.com won that dispute and I got that money back.

Well, it seems like ChatGPT’s automated litigation resolution with Privacy.com got lazy. I wonder how a company with an AI can lose in a dispute instead of smokescreening the opponent with legitimate arguments and legalese.

It's frustrating. Sam Altman already has everything . He's a billionaire, he can buy literally anything he wants, he can live anywhere he wants, he can buy a brand new sports car every day just to blow it up, he can buy a new house every week just to demolish and replace it with a trampoline park. He can afford to do anything . He can fucking afford to have some fucking principles. He's not going to end up on the str…

> He can fucking afford to have some fucking principles.

Who is to say he doesnt? Just because they dont align with yours doesnt mean he doesnt have his own principles.

> he's choosing to do the wrong thing

To many millions he is doing the right thing. I am on the fence personally, but I know many people who think that increasing defense capabilities at any cost is something that the governmetn should be doing. Any company that helps them do that is 'doing the right thing'.

> I wouldn't let being a coward stop me from doing the right thing

The 'right thing' is always subjective, and for you it is decided by you alone. Try to remember that and see things from both sides.
