What's the current best Mac to buy for offline LLM in used market?

I am seeing 96Gb Mac studio 3rd gen I think for a good amount but I guess it would be better than paying for mac mini newer models with lesser ram?

Or would it make sense to buy used 32 GB Mac mini 3 or 5?

Is there a cost/dollar for various generations which I could compare against used market and pick the most effective one?

2Gkashmiri··on Windows 11's built-in Weather app wastes more than 1 GB of RAM
Windows really I'd shitty for "assuming" unlimited ram, storage, processing, internet budget for them to get away with it.

They "could" make it easy but why bother? I assume next update will make calculator 1 gb download, 2gb ram resident and ADS

2Gkashmiri··on Should you stop cracking your knuckles?
I grew up and around 7-8 I started cracking my neck. It was like an accordian. For years it worked.

Now I get maybe one crack every few weeks but the magic is gone.

Same for my hands. I was "voracious" cracker, now my fingers get 10% of the cracks I used to get.

I still am able to crack my back, lower back by tugging on my belt and that releases a lot of uumpf. For upper back, I lay on my back, put my knuckles below the spine and go down one by one. Satisfying.

I also have a problem. Every time I stand for a long time, do some work standing up, my lower back is like dead. So I get someone to get on my sacro-illiac joint I think and a loud crack and I'm fit as a fiddle. I'm weird

2Gkashmiri··on Why does Mail app contact iCloud when sending a non-iCloud email?
Older office 2019 or 21 I think with massgrave.

Libreoffice.

I'm more and more relying less on office nowadays.

Can you tell me more about deepseek?

I paid $2 for deepseek api, put the key in void editor and made a crypto tool in html.

It turned out to be around 67kb. I used sample files in CSV that were a few hundred lines.

It spent around $1.8 in the hour or two or light coding and follow up bugs.

Is it really really this much?

I can't imagine spending a month using it for a day job, it would cost more than the salary so what gives?

I understand the local ai and all that but do cloud providers cost this much?

Earlier I thought "billion tokens" but now not sure

I have a keepass file that I keep fairly updated on multiple places, my phone being up to date.

A trusted family member has its password which is in their keepass.

In the event I am not around, I expect them to find the password and open the keepass.

Its less complicated this way

2Gkashmiri··on Motorola effectively bricked its entire line of WiFi routers without explanation
I have an HP wifi printer, 5820 I think. I haven't signed in to HP, haven't connected the printer to cloud.

Same for anything else. I don't see the whole "oh you need firmware update to improve the product". 90% of the time it just works.

So what happens if the fridge isn't given internet access ? Or washing machine?

2Gkashmiri··on Volkswagen blocks Home Assistant by requiring client assertion
They alleging you have broken their encryption.. DMCA would be appropriate I would assume in this case. OTOH, if there isn't a first party way to get an auth token or a way to connect your car with home assistant, I see that as a deficiency of service.

You need a genuine licensed excel to run the file and prepare returns. Thankfully you can file same returns online on the portal for free so they get a safe pass that way.

2Gkashmiri··on US tech firms share Dutch regulator officials' names with Senate
Indian tax departments use EXCEL VBA and force users to.use licensed microsoft excel to run the utilities so tax returns can be filed.

The reason given "for your own safety"

At the same time, the public tendering process makes no mention of the tools. The L1 uses excel and that inturn FORCES thousands and thousands into using paid excel.

I use masgrave but thats irrelevant. I also use libreoffice which works most of the time but yeah

2Gkashmiri··on I quit drinking for a year
I have been trying to ask people this but its havent gotten a satisfactory answer.

Sure alcohol is ingrained in society, sure Americans tried prohibition and all that but its not gloom and doom. Muslims who are about 2 billion choose not to consume alcohol and go about their lives without it.

They just do fine without it. How does that work for them? ?

I mean I have never consumed and never will so why is it that your society finds it acceptable?

Isnt tobabbo going down in consumption because it is being taxed shit out of?

Why can't you voluntarily try to influence your alcohol consumption by paying a "alcohol tax"?

There are benefits of not consuming alcohol, there are problems associated with alcohol, and people who try to convince alcohol is good for you are generally lying to themselves.

2Gkashmiri··on A useless infinite scroll experiment
Never owned an iPhone after 3GS because it became prohibitively expensive.

I have so many memories of cydia and there was this itools, some Chinese software that let me do more than iTunes.

Those were the days. I was rocking an html lockdscreen which was pretty cool.

When I got hands on original iPhone back in 2008, I remember my PC having less ram, less storage as that was a handmedown. It was freaking cool to have more compute in hand than what my xp machine did.

2Gkashmiri··on Tinnitus Is Connected to Sleep
I wont call it anecdotal evidence but i am told, in "traditional" Greek medicine,tinnitus is a symptom of constipation.

Its told you fix constipation, your ringing ears will get fixed.

I know its not 100% but try to fix your bowel movement if it isn't working properly already.

2Gkashmiri··on Privacy-preserving age and identity verification via anonymous credentials
I remember reading in tech magazines about the "foss" acheivement which went on to become Aadhar. Remember this was prior to 2007 I think.

The idea was your id would be an autehnticator of sorts. You need to verify yourself, the website asks Aadhar if the person is genuine, the website returns binary yes no. Same for you, is gender male? Or ages above 18?

They would not return any other data.

In the end, it became just another "formality" and tool for politicians and to flex muscles.

People ended up taking photocopies of your card "just in case" and "that's the norm" even when it was said that's a bad idea.

People still do Aadhar kyc but it is in hands of politicians now and the bureaucracy.
