I’ve been running Ollama on my Mac Studio for local AI experiments. I followed advice to try oMLX instead and it’s ludicrously faster, like maybe 5-10x for both time to first token and completing the response. I haven’t benchmarked it, but it subjectively feels like when I replaced a hard drive with an SSD.

@jthingelstad Good luck with it! I got sick as a dog with the second dose.

But I’d do it again without hesitation. I don’t mind being sick for a day if it means I don’t get shingles, which is reportedly miserable.

Siri is so bad as a voice assistant that it made me stop caring about device-local AI, which is impressive. Yesterday, “hey Siri, turn off the bedroom lights” worked.

SFO now lets you walk loved ones to the gate without a plane ticket

San Francisco International Airport is now allowing approved visitors without plane tickets to go past security, bringing back a once familiar airport ritual: walking loved ones to the gate and meeting them when they arrive.

I just replied to a recruiter cold call:

Hi [recruiter],

\n

I’ll be honest, in the spirit of feedback: that’s an insultingly low offer at about 60-70% under the local market rate for those skills. Best of luck to your client, because frankly, they’re going to need it with the kind of engineers willing to consider that offer.

@danielpunkass I wholeheartedly agree. I’m not Catholic and I don’t inherently have a lot of love for heads of giant organizations. I vehemently disagreed with him on plenty of things (like his take on Ukraine, which I thought was nuts). And yet he seemed to be full of genuine love, compassion, and empathy for his fellow humans, especially the downtrodden. That’s so sadly uncommon from people at his tier of society that it shines through like a beacon when we see it.
