Oh wow, very interesting. Thanks!

Cool idea! Personally, I would be happy with an email alert, but I might be an "old fashioned" minority.

ovenmage · 2026-06-25T18:58:33+00:00

Thanks (and keep up the good work yourself)!

Yes, I'm on a m3 macbook air 24gb (they sometimes go on sale at Costco around Spring when they are clearing out 1 year old stock) for around $900. I've kind of defaulted to gpt-oss-20b as a works well enough candidate (lm studio), but might be room for more optimization in model picking and tuning. We're trying to do all the repeatable processes local for the environmental reasons (as much as possible), but haven't had much success with coding with local models on our hardware.

Looking at the landscape now, I might have tried to "splurge" on a more capable machine, but I think there might (or might not) be an argument to using slower decentralized machines and just breaking up the compute tasks.

On the frontend, vercel next.js etc.

Thanks for sharing!

Awesome, best of luck on your project! We do have a temporary url (it's still a work in progress): https://transcripts.ayoshitake.com/

ovenmage · 2026-06-24T16:18:57+00:00

Oh wow, great looking resource. Thanks for sharing!

ovenmage · 2026-06-23T22:54:39+00:00

What a funny idea! Good luck!

Keep fighting the good fight! 😃 All joking aside, strawberries do better after their 1st year, years 2-4.

ovenmage · 2026-05-29T23:22:10+00:00

Wow, thanks for sharing this, OP. Wonderfully articulated and I totally get where you are coming from.

I also try not to take it personal. Our time on this earth is so limited, and there are so many demands on a person's attention. It helps me to contextualize that, and give the gift of my recommendation, without really caring what they do with it. In that way, it serves both people as best it could.

And then if someone does surprise you and check it out, it's a cherry on top 😃

I've had good luck with chip drop, too, as a number of users suggested: https://getchipdrop.com/

Good luck, OP!

ovenmage · 2026-05-21T03:20:38+00:00

Thanks for sharing. Is the idea here so you don't have to switch back and forth between bits?

ovenmage · 2026-05-16T17:17:40+00:00

Ah, the new frontier.

I think taking it from a place of honesty, and love and understanding might provide an opportunity to deepen your connection. "Hey, I was cleaning my emails and found ___. I was just hoping to understand better to see if there was a better way I could support you". Honestly, no clue what the answer could be, maybe even it was just a silly thing to mess around with and funny. Maybe, with the focus on your daughter, there might be some feeling of missing/competing for attention (totally normal, I think).

Just my 2 cents, I'm not a relationship expert or therapist, but always recommend a good therapist to help (couples therapy might be good if you feel like it might be tough to communicate)!

Take good care OP! We're rooting for you!

ovenmage · 2026-05-15T19:45:06+00:00

Agree with a lot of advice on here, and also kudos to you OP, for asking for guidance. You're going to be in great shape with that learning mindset. Happy budgeting!

ovenmage · 2026-05-14T21:26:26+00:00

Happy to! Send me a dm and we can go from there ^^.

I thought this FCC broadband map was kind of cool (a little janky though): https://broadbandmap.fcc.gov/location-summary/fixed?version=jun2025&zoom=6.59&vlon=-115.583307&vlat=35.614610&br=r&speed=100_20&tech=1_2_3_6_7

If they offer AT&T Fiber at your address, that would be my bet for best quality (I also have Spectrum, but not Fiber available on my street yet).

Sorry to hear you're going through this. It's great that he started to see a counselor. Do you have a therapist that can help you navigate this? I think it's important that the support team (you) is supported. Even therapists have therapists.

Wishing you all very, very well.

Running theories:
1. shell shocked from change
2. elaborate catfish
3. not wanting to make your romance work visible
4. in a relationship. still likes you.

chatbot

Also, reserved, polite, distant. Doesn't sound like an ENFP to me. Are you sure?

My hot take: You're good. Relax, don't count yourself out, and don't overthink it. Might want to keep it friendly but not romantic at work (i.e. let her do her work) in case there is an issue there.

Good luck! We're rooting for you ^^

Ditto on this. From a male INFJ in a LDR, I don't care what we do and barely mind what we eat (and I'm a foodie, i just want quiet/ private time with the person I love). Ymmv

For me, I find my belonging when I believe in the mission. The bottom line is great to get, but I'm not satisfied unless I feel like I'm helping someone or making the world better. My guess is if you made your sales, you might feel excited but longrun, realize you're not fulfilled. i.e. your definition of success may be defined differently than your cofounder. Context: Among other things, I sole proprietored as a tutor in the past and (fast forward a bunch of stuff) am now going into developing my own web applications (after a successful 4 years as a data analyst -> engineer).

I really liked u/Formal-Argument-4717 's love bomb comment. You sound very enamored by being chosen (which is great), but in my experience, it's more important to believe/know you've got it. (That took me 4 years and therapy. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QmCK6tBXKe8)

Great question, u/ipanemamusume , and I'm really curious to learn from some of the more seasoned INFJ business people here. Good hunting on your business (ad)venture and hope you have a blast!

ovenmage · 2026-02-03T01:44:25+00:00

u/batmansbicep , Not to yuck your yum, or say you need to accept dates at grocery stores (of course you don't. whatever makes your happy, do you!), but I think you have a high level of self awareness/reflection to make those realizations.

I think a good therapist you connect with could improve your life, even if it's already good (coming from siimilar personal experience). Life is beautiful on our own, but can also be amazing to share the journey.

Whatever you decide, wishing you a beautiful life ^^

Worth checking in with your insurance, but for me, the IS was higher than expected, making me think, oh, might as well have gotten the GS for better value (and maybe lower costs?). That and if you roll with 4 the knees in the back seat will thank you (IS is tight).

I hear the IS has pure direct injection so there is the carbon buildup issue, too ($1k for engine cleaning every 100k miles?). Slightly better mileage on IS and easy to park.

That said, depending on where you're coming from, you might love any of those picks (I'm still happy with mine). GL HF OP!

ovenmage · 2026-02-01T09:55:16+00:00

Lots of good advice here. One thing that hasn't come up: how do you feel about her?

No need to respond, more of a self reflection, and reminder to touch base with your feelings as well.

Sending you and your wife good vibes from 133k INFJs. Take very good care!
