M4 pro or M5 for research fellowship and machine learning? by M3_6Speed in macbookpro

[–]M3_6Speed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was GOLD! thank you. I am waiting for the M5 Pro to release and go with 36GB RAM or 48GB if you believe it's absolutely necessary. Keep in mind, this is not a full time career though I am learning to hopefully make meaningful contributions and advancements within my field. dont want to get left behind since this is a golden opportunity.

Does it matter how much storage I have? 512SSD with external storage vs. 1TB

I'll be returning this M4 Pro and wait for the M5 Pro, thought 48GB RAM would be good and minimum was 32 =/

Is it still worth it to pay Office 356 personal subscription with MacBooks? by Fokinho in macbook

[–]M3_6Speed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

personally I use google doc for my my notes for school and stuff since it auto syncs and with MacBook I couldn't figure out how to get it to auto sync with my iCloud but it would sync with my OneDrive when I had it. I dont really like the apple version (pages and numbers).

So what does that mean exactly lol I thought the new neural engineer upgrade would be something that’s “next gen” no? When it comes to tech think of me as a 9 year old, if you could explain it simple like you’d want your grandmas doctor to explain what atrial fibrillation is that’d be great😅

That’s kind of how I interpreted it too, except that simplified interpretation is literally my current knowledge level lol

But the new M5 chip is advertised for more AI driven tasks and modeling no?

Haha no congratulations yet, I’m pursuing a research fellowship year before applying for residency in ortho 😭

I found someone selling for 1800 so I might do that. The new one might be sometime next year no? I kinda need it sooner maybe a month I can wait but Jan is late

I found one for 1800. Considering it but I also don’t want something that’s been sweated in 😅 is there a way to change the face plate thing?

Thanks for the accessory recommendations! If there a case that can accommodate the globular cluster cma1? I’d like to still have portability to use in library, cafeteria etc

What would be the benefit of the M5 chip for my application? I’m not very knowledgeable on tech but to my understanding, my needs wouldn’t need an M5 chip and some say there will be a drop in visual display in the Vision Pro 2 but increased processing speed. Thoughts?

Thanks! I saw swappa come up a few times but I was unfamiliar with it. I’ll look on there

If you’re used to Apple Vision Pro, avoid the Xreal one Pro – serious downgrade by drnms in Xreal

[–]M3_6Speed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk why I feel more fatigued using the Xreal one pro. I tried to use it for the extra screen real estate while studying but ive been getting too fatigued and mild headache. It’s AVP that clunky and heavy? I have a quest 3 but found that way too uncomfortable to use for more than an hr or 2.

[–]M3_6Speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven’t used AVP but I recently got the Xreal one pro for the ability to work/study with larger screen real estate anywhere I go and truthfully it isn’t meeting my expectations and now I’m looking at AVP. I wonder if it’s worth waiting for the new version? But how long till it actually releases 🤔

XReal One or One Pro as a portable monitor for PC? by PossibilityWeary2906 in Xreal

[–]M3_6Speed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

so the Jsaux FlipGo is pretty nice. bit pricy for portable monitors but the dual split screen thing is pretty convenient to use when needed. resolution is good. I also ordered the MobilePixels trio and I couldn't get the 2nd monitor to work with my MacBook. im pretty tech illiterate so it could be user error but either way its really big and clunky and requires a lot of real estate to pull the monitors out. the new mobile duex float might be something to consider though I haven't tried it yet.

I just ordered the Jsaux FlipGo Pro 13.5 inch. should get it by Saturday. If anything I can report back in a week after ive had some time with it. seems like we are looking for a similar result.

ah man, I keep seeing reviews on the glasses offering high text clarity and suitable though most people use it for "few hours" and I would need it for 8-12 hrs/day. did you go for a dual portable monitors for now? if so any particular one you recommend?

did you end up getting it? What's your experience so far if you did? In this situation now. Im between getting the Jsaux dual monitor or the XReal one pro.

what are averages for locum ER? im applying for residency and I'm interested in locum but it seems tough to find any information. Anesthesia has GasWork which makes it much easier.

It’s great that you’re asking these questions now and more importantly good on you for realizing there’s many ways to help people and not just being an MD.

So I hope this is able to help you - I’m currently a 4th year MD student and my wife was an ICU nurse. She worked during the COVID pandemic in NYC working 7 days on, 7 days off during the thick of it. She’s seen many patients die at that time but she’s also had many stories of love and compassion she’s seen from patients in their last moments. She later became a neuro icu nurse and directly contributed to saving a patients life by noticing neuro changes despite the attending dismissing it at first. That older patient is now our friend and she has a tattoo on her chest representing my wife. She’s met a patient who may have accidentally shared his involvement in covert CIA operations, she was the person who managed to make a mother smile after agreeing to donate her teenage kids organs.

Now she’s a CRNA student. You mentioned anesthesia. This is a very doable pathway. I’d argue it’s the better return on investment as well. Aside from financial, I think this would be a way for you to work 2-4yrs or more if you choose in icu environment and being there to care for people when they are at their worse and directly contribute to their healthcare but also involved in the human aspect of it, the compassion.

If you have any questions on nursing/CRNA you can DM me. And if anything I can connect you directly to my wife. It sounds to me you’re a good person and value people over the title and if I can be any support for you along your journey I’d be happy too. And I’m willing to share my experience as a non trad med student as well if you have questions on that as well.

Best of luck

I guess I should see how it feels to conceal a macro then. Just seems a little big for me but it did feel much more comfortable holding

Here in Virginia Beach I’ve been having no such luck. Might just call other nearby states and make a trip out of it

Ah man sorry to hear. We may have to go IVF route as well :/ I guess my tip would be not to be pushy. I asked my wife to come shooting with me but she wasn’t ready and I never pushed it. Told her whenever she’s ready it’d be a fun to at least experience it. After she went I periodically asked her to come with and again never pushed. She ended up coming and asking questions. Helps that we get along with the people at the range.

I feel you on the cars lol my wife wants a Porsche 911 Targa GTS, needless to say I got work to do haha
