A developer reportedly ran Llama 3.3 70B locally on a MacBook Pro M4 during an 11-hour transatlantic flight, completing client work entirely offline without internet access.
Using llama.cpp, the setup achieved about 71 tokens per second with roughly 60,000 tokens of context while using nearly 48.6 GiB of memory.
Tasks were queued in a JSONL workflow, where the model processed one job at a time on localhost, saved results automatically, and created checkpoints every 12 tasks so work could resume smoothly if interrupted.

IT career starter pack:
- Pick up every language you come across
- Grind DSA till it feels like a full-time job
- Dive into Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD and call it “basics”
- Hop frameworks like you’re collecting badges
- Then pivot to AI because that’s what everyone’s chasing now
End result: 3 LPA + a lovely 2-year bond 😌
too real or just me?

@sickdotdev Question: is anthropic playing a shell game.
Me thinks so
English

@diwashprenuer for me it's more about consistency
one feels lighter, the other feels stricter

@sickdotdev OpenAI is fun, Anthropic is anxiety... looks like someone's got a type. 😉

@JustinWinches16 yeah that combo actually works well... brainstorming vs execution split makes sense

@sickdotdev But once Claude was your favorite. My workflow was to use OpenAI for the brainstorming and using the Claude for the actual engineering

@sainotsoai fair take
i think the anxiety comes more form relying on it too much than the tool itself
English

@sickdotdev Both are equally good and bad.
It depends on us I guess.
Too much dependency on AI can surely cause anxiety

@NoIdeaX26 yes, it was necessary, people were not getting the joke there 🫤
