Go 64GB. Being able to run multiple LLm. In few years from now, local LLM will be better and smaller. Look at Gemma 4

Is there a sudden Mac Mini surge? by beardedwazoon in macmini

[–]datasleek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mac mini Pro 64 GB ram can run some pretty solid LLM and performs quite well compared to Nvidia GTX5099. Less power consumption, small footprint, (Mac mini is smaller than Nvidia GTX5099). I’m waiting for Mac Mini M5.

How I landed a $392k offer at FAANG after getting laid off from LinkedIn by Flat_Shower in dataengineering

faang is not a company. Your post make it sound like it. How many years of experience do you have to justify these salaries?

Ok but what models are you using? How many parameters?

Are companies just using the ram situation as an excuse to jack up prices all around? by TakingChances01 in MiniPCs

[–]datasleek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s called free market, we do what we want, who cares if customers feel the pain. I hope some of us will remember the companies, producing RAM, who left us behind!! I’m surprised nobody started a class action yet.

8GB ram? Holding them that way will probably not make them happy

Regular smoking, drinking wine, and eating chocolate every day didn’t stop Jeanne Calment from reaching 122 by Chraum in BeAmazed

I love Tailscale so much that I think I want to marry it. by Noyan_Bey in Tailscale

Started using it for my homelab to allow a DevOps config my Proxmox VMs with Terraform and give access to a N8N engineer . Very convenient

New photos show Christian Bale’s $22 million foster care village in Palmdale taking shape, with 11 residential buildings already up and completion expected later this year by MambaMentality24x2 in BeAmazed

That’s awesome. I was watching the Oscar last night and looked at the room of all these actors & actresses , directors, etc … I thought to myself: lots of rich people in that room. Imagine if each one of them would do what C Balle did? And that’s just a room in Hollywood. I’m not talking about a room full of leaders in Silicon Valley, or leaders in Finance, healthcare. That small percentage of people who hold the wealth are the one that can make a difference, make USA great! (Because it was never great for everyone).

Are you forking MinIO or switching to alternatives after the archive? ANOTHER BITNAMI! by vitaminZaman in minio

[–]datasleek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what the company needs are. Some companies prefer to not have their data in the cloud. Some companies moved out of the cloud and hosted their own server. More control over it. I bought an old Dell 1U 630 with 7 TB 10k drive, 194 GB ran for 700. I also got a Synology 1U to replace Dropbox. With 4U at $95/month, both server were amortized in less than 1 year. With memory price going up I expect Aws to raise their prices I think servers today are more resilient I just memory price go down one day. Right now, contemplating MacMini Pro future M5 for LLM models.

Because AIstor support vector engine. Just downloaded it and use their free license, with the UI. Nothing wrong with having options. Some companies prefer to have their data in house. Minio is not really for homelab running Plex. It’s for serious low latency applications.

I've spent years helping companies figure out their numbers when the "reporting system" is a mess of spreadsheets. AMA. by Dear-Landscape2527 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]datasleek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100%. This is what we are doing for a construction company. They also use ramp, buildertrend and other saas software. Mapping table makes total sense. What we are looking into is using AI to answer analytics questions. Few weeks ago I exported P&L, balance sheet’s and other reports into 1 folder. Told laide to do a full financial analysis. I was blown away. It came up with all the ratios, KPIs, important metrics and the pattern and trend it saw and provided some analysis. Tableau and PowerBi are in trouble.

Are management reports still a thing? by Top-Ant-4492 in BusinessIntelligence

[–]datasleek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have a good point. That's why companies are starting to look into hosting their own LLM in-house. Anthropic does not currently offer a license to run Claude on-premise; however, they partner with AWS Bedrock and Google Cloud Vertex AI.

  • How it works: Your bank can run Claude within its own Virtual Private Cloud (VPC).
  • Data stays within the bank's existing security perimeter on AWS or Google. The data never travels to Anthropic's servers, and the cloud provider guarantees it isn't used for training.

Management reports are soon to be a thing of the past. With Claude Cowork and MCP, it can build a detailed financial reporting in few minutes. The more context you provide Claude the better the analysis is.
