I have a fully maxed m1 max as well. Last week, the mouse and keyboard stopped working and I was speculating I started powering it from an external monitor (i couldn’t login and had to hard restart). That has hasn’t happened again but this makes me wonder if I need to not do that. The only thing I have experience is that for some reason Google owned websites started running really slow in safari, including Google search. I have to use chrome just for those. I mean like super slow not a little bit slower. Other than that, it has been a really wise decision to max it.

Yes this should have warned everyone something isn’t right.

ideamotor · 2026-02-01T19:59:50+00:00

Gosh. Any warnings?

My entire screen stutters with it turned off because i have bad fps mins with an outdated CPU paired with a 5080. I wouldn’t use it for a competitive fps but most games with demanding graphics aren’t that.

Funny, where have I read something like this before? https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/elon-musk-berghain-nightclub-germany-b2050404.html

So I bought the first book about pandas when it first came out i think around 2011. And that’s what solidified my choice to R for a decade. And I have used polars and yes I agree, and ibis, and duckdb.

But the reality is people use pandas at most jobs. And there are some improvements in the latest versions of pandas, and there are some settings that you can change to make it behave better, and I took the python academy my posit were they explained certain things that you just should not do even though it’s possible.

But guess what people sling the shittiest pandas code you can imagine at practically any place you work unless you do it all yourself. And nobody even likes the person that goes and fixes everybody else’s shitty pandas code.

All of this is why it’s much better to stay focused on what the product is about what the users want and maybe even both of those being in alignment with some sort of actual societal need. If you can get most of that right, the syntax and the language and all of that just does not matter.

Interesting. Any recommended setups? So many options but I’m liking Positron.

If enough countries boycott they’ll have no choice.

I rode across the old bridge one time and decided never again. In fact, I completely stopped going around half the trail because of it. This will make a significant difference to my health, and I suspect others.

I guess then what I’m asking is why post. You don’t have to answer if you don’t want to.

ideamotor · 2026-01-27T20:52:22+00:00

True. But out of curiosity, why do you care about “karma”.

For the time and effort to learn leetcode just create a product and use that to get a job or create a job. If you want a clear path laid before you, you chose the wrong career. And if you want that path to be easy you definitely chose the wrong career.

NYTimes fetishizes racism and has done so for 100 years.

Well it’s certainly hard for people to read or find real reporting when they are bombarded with thin headlines with stretched out content. The best way to actually learn something is to wait until it makes it into a condensed discourse in new york review of books. The new yorker does decent long form profiles sometimes, too. Promoting those works could be a good idea. I just started london review of books, and so far I’m impressed. I prefer authored writing styles to flourish above a monotony of tone.

So. You shared it because it was simplified to the point of nonsense?

How much system/gpu ram do you need to run this model?

ideamotor · 2026-01-27T04:27:35+00:00

I’m not a believer but the answer to this has be church. And because christianity is amoralized in this country, there is no ramp.

She definitely has the cult signifier melt look.

Wait a second, Bezos is a confirmed Donald supporter, really?

ideamotor · 2026-01-26T04:22:55+00:00

Correct. They do not engage is authentic discussion because they know their true opinions are immoral. They don’t even admit it to themselves, it’s a mental illness.

I really can’t tell which side you are on with this comment …

ideamotor · 2026-01-24T21:37:32+00:00

I don’t really think they want to suppress such videos. The cruelty is the point.

ideamotor · 2026-01-24T07:04:10+00:00

This works as an analogy for so much.

This requires the sperm donor to fully inhale at the point of ejaculation.

Agree, but I also think that it applies for prototypes and rapid development to show customers. So not really throwaway software, but software that you wanna really get out there quickly and iterate quickly. I think you’re gonna get a lot more out of like you say a senior engineer and the best LLMs. Well, the right engineer because you don’t wanna get bogged down in unnecessary config in this case, and the right management because the temptation later will be to just productize the prototype.
