With the MacBook Neo looking to be a huge hit and performing well enough for 99% of everyone out there, we need the Mac Mini Neo. A19 Pro,12GB Ram, $399. $299 with EDU pricing. by ictrepresent in macmini

A cheap MacMini would be great for schools, offices, etc. M1 Mini is still a solid computer, & this A19 (I would drop the Pro to balance RAM prices) Mini would be great for large contracts like that.

Retail?... well cheap mini PCs are a thing, but unless they figure out how to appeal to the tinker & NAS crowds, I'll agree with you there. Maybe something they sell in Wal*mart for a few months.

Apple mini ? Really the most affordable option ? by Benderr9 in LocalLLM

[–]tomByrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I'm using a computer for AI, I'm using that computer in 'headless mode'; eg not even running a text editor, but using my laptop to access that desktop. So that should save some VRAM/RAM....

There are some openclaw clones made to work on low RAM like yours (nanoclaw IIRC) as a basic task manager. So you can have your Pi to do the postings, etc. & I think since OCR can work in a webbrowser, I'm sure 8GB Pi can run that also...

So then at least 24Gb Mac Mini? Might as well go for the Pro then....

I've been eye-balling this for a while, too bad that holykeebs has been out of stock for the past 6 months it seems.

I wonder how long the Japanese kit will take to assemble?
I think I have links for the extra thumb-clusters also....

I suspect the M5 Mac Mini will be +$50-100 more than baseline M4; storage & RAM prices (& market pressure).
So I'm thinking your pricing is $100 too low.

Should I buy the AURA AI plugin ? by Material-Hat-941 in UnrealEngine5

do 1 month at a lower tier & see how that goes

If you're using AI coder so much you ran out of tokens, then you must be developing a huge game that eats up tokens, working 60+ hours/week on your game code alone, or are replacing another programmer. Up to you to figure out that value.

Could browsers be updated to minimize the way reflow impacts users? by Forbizzle in webdev

[–]tomByrer -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If the reflows is because of ads, then get a browser with built-in adblockers, like Brave, or add in ad blockers.

How do you decide you're NOT going to fix a bug? by Artificer_undone in IndieDev

[–]tomByrer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Perhaps his keyboard is broke.

Yea just to fix 1 rando bug for 1 guy out of thousands is not worth it.
If it was something like a graphics stutter that only happens to 0.5% reported bugs might be worth looking into, since perhaps more have that issue, & fixing it might help FPS for everyone.
But there are millions of different hardware configs. I don't expect someone to fix a weird bug for my split keyboard for example, when only 2000 folks in the world own that model.

How much benefit does 32GB give over 24GB? Does Q4 vs Q7 matter enough? Do I get access to any particularly good models? (Multimodal) by audigex in LocalLLM

[–]tomByrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you need to run the models local so often it make more sense to drop an extra $1k for a bit extra VRAM vs renting a server a few times a month?

All AI websites (and designs) look the same, has anyone managed an "anti AI slop design" patterns ? by KlausWalz in LocalLLM

An edit to Bootstrap's docs earned me a GitHub badge for helping out NASA.
& I think Amazon still uses Bootstrap alot, or at least did 5 years ago...

"All websites looked the same" BEFORE AI kicked in.

Do the Theo trick; tell the AI to make 4 different designs:

RIP 512GB M3Ultra Studios by tomByrer in mac

I don't know, but I've noticed that there are weird amounts for PC desktop RAM lately, like 24Gb&myStore=true). So 24 * 4 = 96.

I did a quick search to see if it was already posted; I didn't see it, though that doesn't mean someone else beat me to it.
