$350 windows box probably isn't silent like the MBA

I have the M1 MBA and M5 MBP. The wedge MBA feels noticeably thinner and the MBP feels kind of chonky in comparison. It's a bigger difference moving them one-handed than the specs would indicate.

I did "not interested" & "This post makes me uncomfortable" for a solid month and now have a reliable feed of comedians, tacos, golden retrievers, classic jazz drummers, etc. The algorithm thought I turned Mexican and gave me exclusively Spanish content for a month but I just kind of went along with it.

Regardless of merit, this seems like appropriate payback for having to make a new workday account for every single company you apply to a job.

I've made the L. reuteri "yogurt" from the BioGaia Gastrus tablets from amazon and it works well. First batch is a little watery but after that it pretty much looks like greek yogurt when I use half and half.

On a M1 MacBook Air with 8GB, I got this running Gemma 3n:

12.63 tok/sec • 860 tokens • 1.52s to first token

I'm amazed it works at all with such limited RAM

One of my friends said his prior company (Fortune 50 size) had one of the big consulting companies come in for an assessment. The main takeaway was too much time spent in meetings. They banned afternoon meetings and put time spent in meetings as a KPI on performance reviews for managers (I think there was a 4hr daily maximum as a target)

Malicious compliance would involve reviewing the action items from the 50 minute meeting at the beginning of the 10 minute meeting

$633 (USD) per month in Zimbabwe is crazy. I could see Starlink becoming the internet backbone for micro-ISPs to slice.
