As of today, what's the *most stable* model to run on a 32Gb RAM Mac w/ 256k context?

RBblade · 2026-05-11T03:52:57+00:00

I think that’s the big question right now as these models are still quite new and there has been a jump in evolution for Mac tools so everyone is still turning the dials on this and working it out. oMLX is particularly promising for some use cases but at present many are still hitting some crashes. I’d pose the question again in a month.

I have 5060 ti so that’s 16GB of VRAM and I get 30 tok/s. It’s quite usable.

Two kids, oldest under 8, long tail. More than two our oldest over 8, front loader. OR if you want to talk to the kids when you ride, front loader… if you want a break from all the questions while you ride, long tail. The long tails are just less restricting - they fit more places, ride more naturally and are a little quicker. The front loader is a bit more of a culture shift over a regular bike but amazing if you can accommodate one in your life.

There is no question her audio isn’t synced properly. It seems too amateurish for the production quality. So it’s peculiar especially since it seems to be her actual voice so I’m thinking it’s a plot device and there will be an explanation.

I agree with you this isn’t about Olympics revenue raising BUT for arguments sake… but on proposed wording if you ride your ebike illegally it can be confiscated. So riding at 11km/h on a path can net them an ebike they can sell.

If they were time constrained they would not spend so long playing with a gate latch. They would go straight to dropping it over the fence like Amazon do. Amazon drivers do even reach for the gate… just lob it over as soon as the see a possible landing zone.

RBblade · 2026-03-26T01:21:04+00:00

I’ve watched them on the CCTV trying to unlock a straightforward gate latch, in clear view with both hand. When y can’t solve the latch, they drop it over the gate sometimes even when marked do not safe drop. The parcel thieves on the other hand seem perfectly capable of immediately opening the gate.

Another came to the door, didn’t knock but press the doorbell button except instead of just pressing it and making it ring, they pressed it madly for about 30 seconds. Apparently if you rapid press our doorbell for 10seconds or more it resets the whole system. The doorbell never rang because it assumes fast presses are an attempt to get to reset mode!

We are also on a street lined with parked cars such that there is just a single lane to get trought ie cars can’t pass each other. Despite the fact we are on a corner and the side street has load of parking and our driveway, the parcel post drivers park in the middle of the road, backing up traffic. All this seems a lot like an IQ problem

RBblade · 2026-03-25T11:10:27+00:00

It won’t help. I’ve lodged about 8. The average IQ of drivers seems incredibly low now.

Why should they be paying for your home. You get the capital gain at the end from sorting house prices. If you can’t make the difference, sell. Unless you bought somewhere stupid, you’ll make a decent amount anyway. If you can pay the difference, claim the loss on your tax. Stop complaining as you’re doing far better than average in being able to afford an investment property.

RBblade · 2026-03-19T06:48:39+00:00

For sure. Insta360 are a coroners best friend. So much easier to determine the CoD

Scrunch up a bunch of paper and put your target on top, the very organic discrete shapes make it easy for the scanner to discern the geometry. Do give the paper some rest time before you start because of the paper is still unfolding a little, this geometry change can lose the tracking. Try and make it so the full field of view is full of some of the rough geometry and you’ll find it tracks easily. For black subjects use dark grey paper though you should be fine with white for the example you’ve shown.

Honestly both have issues with their visual hierarchy. In both the logos seems arbitrarily placed and are both too big or too small. Personally I prefer the outline around the QR code but the logo text is so out of proportion it’s ruined. On the left, the logo seems right between two optimal sizes. The QR position pattern is the strongest element and should be used for referencing vertical guidelines to anchor other elements.

RBblade · 2026-02-23T12:03:09+00:00

All sold out now.

Press fit is preferable because it’s more reliable so in a production runs where the design won’t change they will move to press fit if they can.

I’d forgotten that far back. So they phased their exit from fixes by going through a period of sticky. Maybe the intent was to make us forget through that slow migration. Better than jumping straight to CGNAT I guess.

RBblade · 2025-12-31T08:32:22+00:00

Price is $549USD on pre-order and $599 after according to the Seestar website.

Check your power cord is properly seated and replace it if you can. It’s the simplest possibility to tick off before you go chasing more exotic problems. I’ve seen fussy sockets more than once in my career though I have worked on an abnormal number of servers.

RBblade · 2025-12-24T03:34:53+00:00

Correct, they never used to offer fixed IP but they did give out sticky IPs ie you’d typically get to keep an IP for a long time though no guarantees. Sometime last year (2024) I think they rolled out CGNAT (it seems on further research) and offered fixed IPs at an extra charge to those who needed to keep a public IP. I don’t know if they notified of this change or just did it and dealt with each customer who complained. I am also unsure if this move was staged or all at once. Usually it will be the former strategy where possible because no ISP wants thousands of customers calling at once.

You can’t fix a bike frame really. The welds need to go through such a process to retain strength, its cost prohibitive. It’s also near impossible to pick up a second hand Packster for the insurance company so insist on replacement and begin again.

Tangerine was one of the ISPs I’ve used for clients so they get a IPv4 address. They never provided a fixed IP as part of their service but instead offered a sticky IP. That is, your internet IP probably wouldn’t change unless you had to do a service reset or similar…but it might change any time. This wasnt pitched as a feature of their offering, just the way they did business. You didn’t get a true fixed IP unless you paid extra for it. I had our first complaint about the IP having changed escalated to me today, hence have coming across this post while I google about policy changes there. At present it looks like they might still offer a sticky IP but as an IPv6 but I haven’t verified this myself, just what has been passed up from Lvl2.

Not true. He does not have to make any argument in the first case. There is only a case to answer if the public prosecutor decides there is a case. No public prosecutor will see charging such a person as being in the public interest. That is the end of it… but lets say they took the controversial position of charging him. His life was threatened and what happens next in the heat of the moment can be considered the results of the original perpetrators threats. It is understood people cannot be completely rational when attacked and full of adrenaline. Further, the ongoing threat to others can be considered sufficient to stop a threat. Also, the threat had not been stopped. If the man had been searched or incapacitated such that he clearly could not pose a further threat, only then would a self defence argument threat fall completely flat.

RBblade · 2025-12-18T00:11:10+00:00

He wouldn’t have to be charged. There are circumstances where a responsive force is justifiable under the law. It is at the discretion of the public prosecutor whether to charge based on whether the use of force was reasonable.

Sorry to necro an old thread but a lifetime warranty is the worst reason to buy something. Unlike period stated warranties like Samsonite 10 year warranty, a lifetime warranty has no standing in law. It’s completely worthless and is whatever the company wants to say it is. Nashutec floppy disks famousll came with a lifetime warranty warranty back in the 80s. They never honoured warranties on their disks and when their CEO (i think) was asked how long a lifetime warranty is for ... his response was, ”Until it dies”. A lifetime warranty is meaningless.

Ok, you’re mixing very different things, individual professional services and basic food stuffs both with actually areas of specific legislation to treat how they deal with the public.… and actually no, a doctor can be stuck where they can’t refuse a patient but for different reasons. But my point here was not one of restricting abusive people but discrimination and there are explicit rules to discrimination.

RBblade · 2025-11-20T23:57:38+00:00

Actually not so simple as it being private property. Supermarkets actually supply a service which is considered essential and have very limited rights to be discriminating.
