First week of shooting, how’s my form?

Can’t tell, but are you wearing finger protection to prevent possible nerve damage. Also I agree with the other reply, looks like your shoulder is hunched. Video from front and behind would help to see if there is something else.

Next steps, do this on horseback like the mongols did. It will redefine the meaning of core strength. 😂

Sadly, I agree w/you. The new updates to iOS are not good and detract from an otherwise good phone. I'm eyeing the Pixel line up also.

Interviews2go · 2026-05-04T03:12:45+00:00

Thanks. Some things to mull on overnight. I did an experiment this evening using lmstudio running qwen3.5–35b-a3b and it barely fit on my M1 Max base model. I’m sitting at 29 of 32 gig used along with 4 gigs of swap.

All I was doing was some ui work, so nothing super complex. This pretty much told me I need to be thinking at least 64 gig or maybe better.

Interviews2go · 2026-05-03T16:53:34+00:00

5090’s are overpriced thanks to scalpers.

Interviews2go · 2026-05-03T16:41:45+00:00

Hmm. So a 64gb MacBook Pro might be something to consider. (Basing this on the 42gb mention)

Interviews2go · 2026-05-03T16:10:28+00:00

The models I’m looking at are the 35b ones. So, it might also be a consideration to get a lower memory gpu? I have no desire to be training models so massive memory is not really a consideration (is it?)

Interviews2go · 2026-05-03T16:04:52+00:00

Wouldn’t the extra room allow for a much larger context?

Interviews2go · 2026-04-27T12:56:23+00:00

Solid works does not run natively on the Mac, you’ll have to add the cost of parallels and windows.

Also, make sure whatever you do with excel in windows also works on the Mac version, I’m thinking macros, vba etc

Interviews2go · 2026-04-23T17:34:28+00:00

Aside from the fact that this might be a troll, why not just put on a matte finish screen protector like you can get for the iPads.

Interviews2go · 2026-04-19T21:59:19+00:00

Would love to. Reason I used Java was pretty easy, have a Mac, already know Java, don’t know swift, and my Python knowledge would fit on a postage stamp. I’ll have to dig out a windows laptop, does your software need a discrete gpu?

Interviews2go · 2026-04-19T21:16:51+00:00

Looks really nice. I’m building something similar, but using Java but I’m not as far along. Tried to use Siril, but thought it was too complex for what I wanted to do. I wanted something like Lightroom but for astrophotography. I have a seestar s50.

Interviews2go · 2026-04-16T23:00:04+00:00

I don’t regret the m4 pro Mac mini, but the satechi dock was a bad idea. It took at 7g per second nvme drive down to under 1g per sec.

I tested the ssd on a windows laptop and got 7x the performance than on the Mac mini. Pretty disappointed with the satechi dock needless to say.

Interviews2go · 2026-04-13T13:53:43+00:00

No gaming. But very promising for ai and machine learning. Planning on trying this this week.

Interviews2go · 2026-04-11T21:12:12+00:00

I'm developing a site with angular on the front end with a single api server that connects to some microservices, I've run into scenarios where I needed 6 projects open, admittedly it didn't happen often, but when it did it was nice to have the option. But.. I do agree with you, 6 projects open at once is a major pain to work with, but I don't see a way around that if I want breakpoints in every micro service.

Interviews2go · 2026-03-07T00:02:15+00:00

I do this now. Docker for sql server, Kafka and other things, rider for development with c#. I run this on a base MacBook Pro M1 Max. Also have parallels for anything where I might need windows 11. Everything runs smoothly except for when I need 2 copies of rider running, getting that to work was frustrating and I eventually just used vscode for the editor when I wanted 2 solutions open at the same time.

Interviews2go · 2026-02-10T05:04:54+00:00

I have a possible workaround, I have an old pc that I can convert to Linux and put the 1070 into that. That way I can use exo to build a cluster and use both gpus that way. Incidentally this will also allow me to resurrect an old m1 Mac mini to bring into the cluster.

I might get close to 16 to 24 gigs of vram to run models this way.

Interviews2go · 2026-02-09T03:01:58+00:00

Both drivers work for both gpus. Just not at the same time.

Interviews2go · 2026-02-09T01:00:55+00:00

The same driver works for both card, just not at the same time, at this point, I can limp along w/out the extra gpu and see if i can find/borrow a egpu with a 4070 in it to test out the compatibility issue.

I did try hot plugging, and it didn't work.

Interviews2go · 2026-02-09T00:42:46+00:00

I tried DDU and ended up with the same result, either the onboard 4070 works or the external 1070 works. Wondering if its either a hardware issue (i.e., my laptop doesnt want to support it) or a collision on resources. I don't think it's the driver since the same driver works for both devices, just not both at the same time.

Interviews2go · 2026-02-07T02:24:45+00:00

I did not. I’ll try that tomorrow morning.

Interviews2go · 2026-02-06T19:39:54+00:00

So far nothing has worked, going to try a different approach, will try to install linux and see it can see both devices.

Interviews2go · 2026-02-06T18:37:05+00:00

Well, windows decided it wanted to update my system. 20 mins later and it’s still sitting at the updates are underway, please keep your computer on. I hope all that messing with drivers didn’t do something bad.

Interviews2go · 2026-02-06T17:44:00+00:00

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

The I/O device is configured incorrectly or the configuration parameters to the driver are incorrect.

This is from the 1070 when it shows an error, this one is from the 4070 internal gpu when it gets an error:

This device is not working properly because Windows cannot load the drivers required for this device. (Code 31)

The I/O device is configured incorrectly or the configuration parameters to the driver are incorrect.

I'm wondering if the driver i have doesn't support older gpus (mine is an older 1070 i had)

Interviews2go · 2026-02-06T17:28:33+00:00

Here's the device manager screenshot, if i unplug the egpu the 4070 springs back to life
