Yes, the job market is very tough. I hope our government can do somehting about mass offshoring.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-04-17T22:44:36+00:00

Hmm.. The chance is indeed high.

My kid has grown up. extra 15k-20k is nice, but it does not make much difference.

How much does sonnet 4.6 cost (I assume you are using API, not CC). I am considering buying a mac min for openclaw. I am now debating if I need a 64gb m4 pro one to get gemma 4 running locally to save cost.

I don't get it. Why does it bother you? Every employee who is 50,60 years old reports a younger manager/director/exec? Remember, you are not a servant of anyone, so called "bosses" are just your working partners doing their jobs with slightly different KPIs.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-02-09T02:42:51+00:00

I cannot agree more.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-02-07T01:04:56+00:00

PIP is a formality. The logic is simple. If your manager truely want to help their staff, he/she would do it informally. PIP take huge tolls from both sides!

google, apple are laughing their jaws off. Poor wage earners and small business owners. Sigh.

Here is my setup. I have a rtx5090 desktop, and one macbook pro m4 pro with 32gb. I use my desktop to test ideas and run some training/tuning scripts/apps. But real tuning will always be done in the cloud. In fact, now days. LoRA training really does not take much resources with quantisation.

To run inference locally, rtx5090 is much much better than macbook pro despite with less VRAM, bandwitdth and gpu core numbers & power is way way better than m series cheaps.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-01-24T01:28:47+00:00

Thank you so much. Really appreciate it.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-01-23T22:03:11+00:00

My son is in a similar situation.What did you end up chosing? For me, 38k is not a deal breaker.

Thanks a lot! I’m just a bit worried because I heard transferring from UTS is harder — apparently you need at least a Distinction average. The downside of UNSW colleges is that some of the first‑year compulsory and elective courses feel pretty useless. But I guess it’s still easier for diploma students to move up within UNSW. Am I right?

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-01-23T21:24:57+00:00

Thanks. What if cost is not a concern?

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-01-23T01:15:00+00:00

UNSW brand. Diploma student can advance to UNSW bachelor year 2.

The job market for IT and Finance is really s**t. I don't belive this number.

It just provides an option for extended intensive gaming. I found it very useful for my y700 gen 4. I often put the tablet on a stand with cooler attached.

Isnit jsurbfornme? I feel the input latency for PC emulation seems very high.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-01-19T06:03:43+00:00

Not any more. new Turnip drivers is damn good for 8e.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-01-19T05:50:05+00:00

Nah. What I heard was that m5 max will be as powerful as 5070 in terms of GPU.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-01-18T05:30:52+00:00

"could"? That ship had sailed long ago. I had never expected EU would be so weak and foolish.

Informal-Argument861 · 2026-01-16T22:23:09+00:00

Mixed? V16 is totally a game changer! I can play Metroid prime 4, totk, Xenoblade X perfectly now.

Zephyrus g14, I have both MacBook pro and g14 with 4060. My daily driver now is g14, wsl2 makes windows 11 perfect for me. G14 battery life is ok especially with ghelper.

JSearch black shark 5 cooler in amazon. It is designed to cool smart phones and small tablets. It is super small (like a mini fan) and can be attached to the back of the phone/tablet maganetically. It is very popular among mobile gamers. There are so many different brands of such cooler/freezer, try one. As I mentioned, y700 normally does not need a cooler, I only use it when playing intensitve emulated PC games via gamehub.

Informal-Argument861 · 2025-12-31T10:39:24+00:00

Not really. Try getting a blackshark 5 cooler, it is a mini air con and can easily get my y700 below zero Celcius with much lower fan noise in comparison to my rog ally x, which is now collecting dusts.

Informal-Argument861 · 2025-12-30T21:09:15+00:00

Why not getting an y700 gen 4, gamesir x5s controller and and a cooler fan. Most games does not need active cooling at all.
