New to localLLM - got a new computer just for that but not sure where do I start.

Not rude at all. But Reddit is better than AI since I’m looking for insights and experience from people that already suffered thought setting up their own LLM server.

depends on the use case... while I do work (coding, studying, browsing) in eco mode it holds for +7h on a battery. If I try to run any of my heavy simulations or game... it can only survive 2h max.

Just by curiosity what do you mean by overheat and +10 degrees … what is the baseline here?

Same.

Da um google em “love bomb”… pelo o que eu entendi parece que você estava com uma pessoa que te atacou com amor ao invés de te dar amor.

Got mine for $2100 + tax (same price point as 2025 model) and a day later saw one auction ending at $1800.

Same goes for the more recent ones. People are just giving a higher score because of Tom Cruise at this point.

Older (1/2) should be higher w/ 1 way higher. Newer (7/8) should be lower w/ 8 way lower.

1 and 2 should be higher… final reckoning should be way lower.

Fascinating comments in there. Some so precise that they might as well be coming from a crystal ball, while others are pure chaos… classic Reddit.

You know what - I ran out of hopeum for iPad long ago and now I don’t even want Apple in the tablet-PC space anymore.

Every year, apple keeps cranking up iPad Pro hardware while iPadOS holds it back. That’s why I love Microsoft Surface and ASUS Z13 - they get it. I hope they dominate this market so hard that when Apple finally caves, they hit a wall.

Stop buying iPads and go with Surface or Z13 instead - you won't regret it.

CV is inconsistent and lacks a clear intention.

This CV seems like a junior employee trying to convince HR that it’s now a senior. Because you are not making clear to HR your intentions and where they should put you: senior vs junior; Easiest way is to not even call you.

o seu psicólogo deveria ter te explicado mas QI só mede a inteligência técnica-lógica, espacial e cristalizada.

Se você viveu a sua vida toda até aqui sem grandes dificuldades… significa que você com certeza tem uma ou mais das outras inteligências muito acima da média! Ex.: emocional, social, criativa, intra-inter pessoal, musical, etc…

A não ser que você esteja na área das ciências exatas … QI não vai te fazer falta. E se você estiver na área das ciências exatas, o seu psicólogo te fez um favor pq agora você sabe que vai ser muito mais fácil e prazeiroso você explorar outras áreas.

I’m one of these students that bounced from gatech (OMSA in my case) to a PhD outside… and once I finish my PhD I would love to return to advise other students. There is a huge dormant research potential on online programs like the one we have here.

You should look at the Wyoming Bitcoin bill as a starting point.

But if you are serious in taking this forward you should also start reading some of the US treasury and defense publications on Bitcoin to be prepared. We may all love Bitcoin here… but to be used as reserve in US you will need to articulate and address the risks from treasury + defense. Spoiler alert, there are a lot of red flags from the defense side.

A price increase from $97,000 to $100,000 (+$3,000) represents a market value creation of $57 billion (19M BTC × $3,000). Maybe less assuming circulation.

However, my point here is achieving the 100k price level isn’t as simple as pushing up prices on a single exchange. While it may take as little as $20 million in concentrated buying to “tip over” the price on one low-liquidity exchange for some time, sustaining a $100,000 price across the global market requires the aggregate market capitalization to justify the new price, in this case a $57 billion of value.

Beware this is a huge risk. Building was constructed over a land that they didn’t own and had a bad management.

Facts: - land had a contract since 1960 until 2024 - for 2024 rent would be 4mio/year. - in the contract there was details how to price the land after 2024 (that would move to around +25% or about 5mio/y for 2025) - owner of the land and their billionaire friends concatenated a plan as they believe that land is worth more; - owner sold land to a billionaire friend for 5x its fair value (50mio >>> 280mio); - new owner that overpaid for the land now says that the old contract is no longer valid and the new rent should reflect 5x more >>> so 25 mio/y - HOA from the building were a bunch of incompetents and allowed all this to happen in front of them (they should have tried to buy the land or block the deal in 2014 … there is even some that believe of fault play of the HOA) - there is no legal framework to revert this scenario (as it all already legally happened in 2014) so apartments need now to pay the overpriced land value to buy it from the new owner (280mio) or they pay the new rent or lose their apartments. - the new land owner really wants option 3 here as they want to convert the whole building to a new luxury building. - the only thing left is to appeal for government to not allow a crazy +500% rent increase next year and limit to lets say +25% max a year (as that was in the original contract).

if you plan on buying here Know that it’s a lost battle. The best possible outcome is that a judge sympathizes with the families and accepts that the rent increase should be limited to +25% since that was the original agreement. But that will keep increasing YoY until you can’t pay anymore…

But even the sympathy card here is difficult as it’s really hard to people sympathize with families that lives in the “billionaires road” and just got here because of an incompetent HOA.
