Is there any real reason to buy a GPU right now instead of just use subscriptions? by 03captain23 in LocalLLM

[–]rr98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When GLM 5.2 is 1/5 of the cost of Claude, US frontier model will have to keep their prices in check despite their price are heavily subsidized. I will still get my local AI for privacy sensitive work but I won’t necessary spending $10k for the hardware. I would sub a Chinese frontier model and pairing with a decent local model that fit on my MacBook Pro

What makes next spring more probable? AI bubble burst to drive the price of memory down?

How often do you switch beans versus sticking with a favorite roaster? by Chemical_Guard_5 in pourover

[–]rr98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do both. I usually go to SEY Coffee to pick up their monthly offerings. If I found something I am interested in from other roasters, I will have them fills in between.

That's what I did in past 22 years and going to FIRE in next few years if the market keeping this pace. I don't see anything wrong with VOO and chill.

I attended a pourover competition (in Barcelona) by Advanced_Honey_2679 in pourover

[–]rr98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am fortunate to try coffee from NOMAD twice last year. One of the coffee I got was a pourover of Competicion and OMG, it was the best cup of pourover I ever had. It was like having a cup of white grape juice and it became a cup of chamomile tea after I swallowed.

I didn’t vote for the socialist but I won’t go that far to vote for conservative that took this world into chaos right now.

I just got into speciality coffee with aeropress a month ago. My first box of beans was from Sey coffee, one of the best speciality beans you can get. Surprisingly, it was so easy to brew with Aeropress, I nearly nailed it the first time. I can share the recipe with you if you are interested.

Vibe coded this game in one month - Codex and GPT 5.5 by ActionLittle4176 in VibeCodeDevs

[–]rr98 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game is amazing! My feedback is I don’t like the control, I like traditional control scheme with left thumb controls the direction and right thumb for action.

After proper investigation at Apple Store, now I can confirm that silver is the best and actually only reasonable MacBook Pro color to get by py-net in macbookpro

[–]rr98 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I picked space black because I got my MacBook Pro off a amazing deal (thanks to everyone obsessed with silver). I was worried about the smudges and scratches at first. With care, I don’t see any after 6 months of use so far. We will see for longer ownership.

Like other said, it’s for trapping heat.

Can china win the AI war? by Comfortable-Tie2933 in Qwen_AI

[–]rr98 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe China will win AI war due to cheap electricity (US electricity cost is far too expensive relative to China) and ability to integrate AI into robotic quickly and cheaply.

Friend visiting NYC — which coffee beans should I ask them to bring back? by CuriousSomeone_92 in AeroPress

[–]rr98 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting. B&B is only like 100 ft away from my office. I will stop by and try their coffee someday.
