I am running GLM 5.3 across 2x DGX Sparks and was doing comparisons and it absolutely can beat Gemini. Yesterday it corrected a poor Fable 5 response even

Interested to see what Apple does in response - Siri AI has privacy protections while OpenAI would ingest and use this data (or at least that is what ChatGPT tells me)

I would love to see more of this mindset - bring something new and unique in to the world, instead of mass produced, least price per unit mentality, like how car colors are trending towards black and white.

We got a 17Kwh array this year (US) and a few powerwalls and it is one of my favorite purchases. I can run nearly any amount of GPUs for free, and never worry about power outages or what temperature to set the AC to. If anyone is on the fence about Solar, I highly recommend it

Good call out - but seeing 2.5W consumption at idle from people with it already on Linux so these numbers will hold (like Dell XPS 14)

This is great - a Macbook Pro for Linux users, made of CNC milled aluminum, haptic trackpad, and 20+ hours of 4k video playback under Linux

This is because the "thinking" you see is a summary by a highly quantized model - not the actual model, to mask these tokens

This is awesome! Does it work on most G14's or are there specific years / models?

The complaints about Apple are from decades of excellent design and about a pixel being off or other small items that people with well trained eyes spot. The problems with Windows are forcing you to run Onedrive and then deleting your files

Created https://www.spreadcheer.net - a Christmas list app that can store locally, isn't full of ads, no login required and should be pretty fast

New comment by sharms in "Ask HN: Who uses open LLMs and coding assistants locally? Share setup and laptop"

sharms — Fri, 31 Oct 2025 21:38:46 +0000

FWIW I bought the M4 max with 128GB and it is useful for local LLMs for OCR, I don't find it as useful for coding (ala Codex / Claude Code) with local LLMs. I find that even with GPT 5 / Claude 4.5 Sonnet that trust is low, and local LLMs can lower that just enough to not be as useful. The heat is also a factor - Apple makes great hardware, but I don't believe it is designed for continuous usage the way a desktop is.

Thank you! Planetscale has been great so far especially the console where it shows the query insights and the p95 / p99 views. I have been able to make features without worrying about the database because it just works

There are a lot of registries out there but they are pretty legacy - SpreadCheer is modern React, can store lists inside your browser, and is fast / responsive, fun. Runs on Vercel / Planetscale MySQL

Missing from this announcement is language around Privacy. Cursor for example has a Privacy Mode that promises not to store code, and this seems like a critical feature for any AI enhanced dev tools.
