I've always been really interested in JEPA for a while now. Anyone working on it want to grab coffee around the Bay Area sometime? Have some ideas I'd love to run by and love talking to smart people on the forefront.

Exactly and translating between the two can be pretty difficult. Different performance for different data types, especially I've had troubles with mac int4 perf in the past, whereas Nvidia seems to be going hard on that. It's just one edge case but there's lots of them. Fortunately gpt 5.4 can fully one shot half of the differences if you are doing ports.

@max_takeoff MLX is improving but it's still a different ecosystem from everything else. that's the tradeoff with Mac for local inference, you're learning a separate stack instead of the one everyone else is building on.

if you have a 12gb graphics card collecting dust in an old gaming rig or workstation, read this. i ran a 9 billion parameter model on a single RTX 3060. 50 tokens per second. it wrote a full space shooter from scratch, 3,263 lines across 13 files. zero handwritten code. zero cloud. zero API calls. your data never left the machine. not once. you're probably sitting on more local intelligence than you realize. stop paying per token for work that should stay private.

use frontier models when you need their capability. mine their intelligence. but orchestrate everything from your own hardware running 24/7. not the other way around. don't let your thinking live on someone else's server as the default. open source will win. it always does.

@joetforhire Great idea. World models are going to be crazy for this in a year or two.

I was fired from Delve today without warning. I was the PM responsible for the compliance automation platform. The one that generated hundreds of SOC 2 reports with zero security incidents for every customer. Taking some time to reflect and will start looking for jobs soon!

@kimbochen @tenderizzation Academic coffee is great. Voyager and Voltaire are good, esp for espresso . Playback is pretty good, a bit overpriced
