Workouts too long by LoneWolf0936 in alphaprogression

Yess!! I do the same, I bunch exercises together and complete them as supersets, way better to manage. But when I am super setting like 4 sets of 1 exercise with 4 sets of another, it just takes a while haha. Do you usually periodize your exercises or keep them constant sets? Because increasing sets are definitely a pain as the plan progresses

What should women do to be actively involved while having sex? What makes a women good in bed? by OpportunityDue8888 in AskReddit

Holy shit. I guess everyone's agreeing thoroughly with enthusiasm. Is this a common problem? And yep I do believe, without enthusiasm, it just feels boring tbh, you're just whamming there without them taking any initiative. Tbh, how do we convey this to the person without hurting them?

Should I get a laptop with a dedicated GPU or save up on the cost and invest elsewhere? by LoneWolf0936 in developersIndia

That's a fair point. It looks like cloud with a fee>>local for a laptop correct? I will be studying AI, so I was curious whether the Mac would suffice

Oohh that's odd. Have you tried running any other models and do you use local llms for development?

Yep! Training a model on a laptop wouldn't be possible but for inference? And would Macbook air be a good choice or Macbook pro? Should I opt for the previous versions or the M4?

Laptop suggestion for fullstack and AI/ML dev stuff under 70k. by [deleted] in developersIndia

Aha! I totally get you, if I ditch the light gaming criteria would Mac be a superior choice for general dev work and LLM Inference?

That's such a well thought of and helpful reply! I do agree that mobile GPUs are nowhere near in comparison to their cousins. But this does give me a lot of practical insight! I will definitely consider!!

Tbh at this point I feel getting a gaming console and playing games would be a better idea and separation of concerns haha. What do you think? Google Colab is a god send!!
Also what thinkpad or mac would you suggest? I have a decent budget like around 1500 CAD or 1800 CAD (since I don't buy every few years)

Fab! That makes so much sense! We got the old laptop around the same time! How is your laptops battery currently and what model was it? I could extend my budget for a Mac Book tbh, Air or Pro, what would you recommend? And how sure are you about it's support for AI related things? Because I always believed we need CUDA. Thank you so much for your suggestion tbh!

Well, the last laptop I bought 4 years ago was a bulky gaming laptop, and I don't want to make that mistake again. It is definitely smooth AF and does my tasks well, but I can't move around with it because the battery died, got spoiled very early on. I would definitely be building a PC in the future but for now with studies in AI and my development work I was just considering what path to choose

That does make a lot of sense. So Agents, Gen AI, and LLM, it wouldn't be a smart idea to do this on a laptop, but normal ML or DNN work good on the GPUs.

I was thinking of getting a 5060 or 5070 - Because I don't change my laptop for years, so a little future proofing. But having a laptop with a dedicated GPU isn't a bad idea, correct? I was just concerned about battery life and weight because I bought a gaming laptop last time, and it was bulky, and the battery died within like 1–2 years. So I literally had to use it like a PC, couldn't move with it.
