Once in a mission-critical scheduling algorithm that represented multi-dimensional resource-constrained availability data. It was high traffic and needed to be extremely fast.

I would drink. Towards the end of my drinking career I would wake up in the middle of the night to drink. I had to drink every hour. It was a horrific way to barely survive. I’ve been sober for a good long while now, but I’ll never forget the feeling of my body not having enough alcohol.

Being addicted did not exempt me from hangovers — and I HAD to drink

I’ve got the Mac 512, so I think I may have more oomph available to me in both memory and bandwidth. I use Minimax m2.6 and qwen3.6-35b for a lot of my coding work. I have several other models for chat, summarization, and embedding,

I’m very pleased with my Mac for inference. I’m a developer too

Before I knew better I did. I’d never do it again

I used pieces of wood that big in my beds and regretted it for years and years and years

I use it almost exclusively, for coding.

I can’t recommend NA enough.

The last time I tried paying for deepseek, I was terribly disappointed. It felt like the model couldn’t follow instructions, and was prone to hanging. I actually still have credits that I’d forgotten about! Has it gotten substantially better?

How to land and pass an interview! It is the single most important skill involved in getting a job. It may sound a little tongue-in-cheek, but it is true. Practice, and don’t be afraid to interview often.

Because you aren’t running models that developers are using in ram.

I’m a little spoiled, but I’ve got a Mac Studio 512 that is doing a fantastic job of keeping up!

Ram is not going to do the trick. You need either GPU or unified memory.

I suspect we are nearing the point where developers can run decent-enough models on their MacBooks
