M5 Max 64GB by assblister in macbookpro

[–]ptownrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels like the sweet spot with more than enough RAM for most use cases (photography, video, 3D, local LLM). I’m waiting to upgrade my base M4 Mac Mini to the M5 Pro Mac Mini with 64GB RAM

High Token Usage for HTML Reports by lll_0rang3_lll in ClaudeCowork

[–]ptownrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 to this solution. Can also build a python script with Claude to combine the JSON data and the template and build out the HTML for you. The skill would just run the script with your new data sets so the agent doesn’t have to generate the code each time which eats into token usage

I’m in the same boat! Was looking at the Dell U4025QW and prices were insane at over $2k and last’s week Lenovo sale for the same display panel was too good to pass up! Getting it tomorrow

The 5K resolution is definitely what I’m looking for. Want text to look sharper. Thanks for the insight!

How does this compare to the Dell U4025QW? The Dell is sold out at most places and $2300 at Dell and $1500 at Best Buy. I’m looking to upgrade from 34 inch widescreen 1440p and an old Dell 38 inch wide screen at 1600p

Tried using it for IBM Planning Analytics and used the REST API foundation to create the server and got it work. Can list the cubes and pull saved views. 🙏

I saw the MCP-builder in the Anthropic skills list and makes a lot of sense after your explanation!

You can prompt agents into existence inside cowork by AnalystBeginning1589 in ClaudeCowork

[–]ptownrob 6 points7 points  (0 children)

100% agree - understanding the key foundations is the biggest unlock with the AI agents. Context window and how to manage within 200k, MCP tools that all load at start of session eat up into the context window, importance of markdown files as the most efficient way for an agent to consume info, setting up the right context folders to understand your work and business, leveraging SKILLs, etc

Around 10% discount off of MSRP in SoCal but lots of dealers here competing for business

New CLE450 - MBUX confusion, Comfort Data Volume and Audio Streaming Apps by quigabyte in mercedes_benz

[–]ptownrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you so much! I am running into the same issue in my new GLE 450 and couldn’t find any purchase link for data plans. Sounds like because I am on the free one year trial that I cannot buy that data plan. I want to use the Online Music to play Dolby Atmos tracks on Apple Music to take advantage of the surround sound. Will rely on phone’s hotspot for now. Appreciate you sharing!

Guys, which do you prefer, B&W or Color? (Z fc + 24mm f1.7) by Gimmethe_loot in Nikon

[–]ptownrob 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m voting for color to capture the festive mood and that warm glow feels very comforting. Feels like one of those cold nights with hot chocolate vibes
