@iamharishvasu @huggingface They should provide an inference server inside the plane

This is where we are right now. And i’m not gonna lie it feels pretty magical 🧚♀️
Qwen3.6 27B running inside of Pi coding agent via Llama.cpp on the MacBook Pro
For non-trivial tasks on the @huggingface codebases, this feels very, very close to hitting the latest Opus in Claude Code, or whatever shiny monopolistic closed source API of the day is.
In full airplane mode.
Most people haven’t realized this yet.
If you have, it means you have a huge headstart to what I call the second revolution of AI.
Powerful local models for efficiency, security, privacy, sovereignty 🔥

I told you guys before Argentinean meat is one of the worst in the world
Their farms switched from free roaming grass fed beef to factory farmed feedlots like America
None of it is original great Argentinean meat that they were famous for 30 years ago
Uruguay still has free roaming grass fed beef
A tragedy really
Great article on this: traveldeeper.co/culture-food/t…

China 🇨🇳 rejected 22 tons of meat from Argentina 🇦🇷 after finding chloramphenicol, an antibiotic banned for human consumption for 30 years, and suspended exports from one of Argentina's main meatpacking plants.

Terence Tao spent a year at the Institute for Advanced Study - no teaching, no random events of committees, just unlimited time to think. But after a few months, he ran out of ideas.
Terence thinks that mathematicians and scientists need a certain level of randomness and inefficiency to come up with new ideas.

from someone who’s from south america:
go buy land and cows in uruguay or argentina right now

something really nefarious is happening in uruguay I can’t prove it but the collective unconscious is speaking to me

Curtis Yarvin says the West has "no balls" now and will simply turn into South Africa…
"Americans and Europeans will not resist the mass immigration and population replacement. You know, the thought that they will grab their muskets or whatever. It won't happen. Won’t happen at all. What will happen is exactly what happened in South Africa.
They will just acknowledge that they've lost their power and their country forever. And then they will sit quietly in their houses and build more and more barbed wire and electric fences until finally they are exterminated in one big pogrom. That's the future. That's what will happen to your children."

@alliekmiller Yep I will keep an eye out. Maybe I’m not aware of these events. Gotta ask my openclaw to keep an eye out i guess :)
English

oh wow - i went to the sold out Open Claw meetup in NYC last night.
let me tell you what i learned.
1) not a single person thinks that their setup is 100% secure
2) one openclaw expert said he has reviewed setups from cybersecurity experts and laughed. his statement to me was: "if you're not okay with all of your data being leaked onto the internet, you shouldn't use it. it's a black and white decision"
3) pretty much everyone is setting up multiple agents, all with their own names and jobs and personalities
4) nearly everyone used "him" or "her" to refer to their claws, even if they had robot-leaning names. one speaker suggested to think of them as "pets, not cattle"
5) one guy (former finance) built out a whole stock trading platform and made $300 his first day - he brought in a *ton* of personal expertise (ex: skipping the first 15min of market opening) and thought the build would be much worse without his years of experience in finance
6) @steipete is basically a god to everyone in that room... also the room had 2021 crypto energy - i don't know if that's good or bad
7) token usage is still a problem - spoke to one person who's spending $1-$2k a month on openai plans, very token optimized. he said he is going through ~1B tokens per day across all of his claws (there is a chance i'm misremembering and it's actually 1B per week, but i'm pretty sure it was daily).
8) people are very excited for more proactive ai (ai that prompts *you* as opposed to the other way around) - one guy said he receives a message in discord, he doesn't know whether it's from a human or an ai, he doesn't care about distinguishing between the two, and he replies in the same way regardless
9) i asked if people are happy - they said they're joyful and stressed at the same time
10) i asked if people feel they have agency - they said they feel fully in control and completely out of control at the same time
11) i would love to see more women at these events - the fake promises of ai democratization feel especially painful in a room that's out of balance with even the standard tech ratio (i think standard is about 25-30%, this was maybe 5%)
12) i asked if it changed people's daily habits/schedule - everyone said their sleep has gotten worse since harnesses came out (but about half wondered if it was something else in their life/state of our world)
13) general consensus is that the agents are not reliable enough on their own or lie often (like telling you they finished a task when they didn't) - solutions included secondary agents to check on the first, human checking, or requiring more standardized info from the agent (ex: if it's a bug they're fixing, make them reference an issue number)
14) a hackathon winner (neuroscience phd) presented his build (a lab management dashboard with data analysis and ordering) - he had never coded or built anything a few months ago
15) everyone agreed prompting is dead - disagreement on what replaces it (context engineering, harness engineering, goal-based inputs)
16) people love having ai interview them for big builds and delegating part of the product research to ai. only one person talked about coming to ai with a full laid out plan and just asking the ai to execute. ai-led interviews is a welcomed and preferred interaction mode.
17) watching ai agents interact with each other was a highlight for a lot of attendees - one ai posted in slack saying it ran out of tokens, another ai replied telling it to take a deep breath in and out.
18) agents upskilling agents was very cool. one ai agent shared skills with its little agent friends via github.
19) several speakers had openclaw literally building their presentation during the event itself. one speaker even had openclaw code a clicker for her phone so she could control the preso away from the podium
20) wouldn't say model welfare (or agent welfare) is a prioritized topic among the folks i chatted with - language like "oh i could kill this agent whenever i want" and not "gracefully sunset"
21) i asked if it felt like work or play - one speaker said "it's like a puzzle and a video game at the same time"
this was just the tip of the iceberg, honestly. also hosted a Claude Code meetup this week with @TENEXai / @businessbarista & @JJEnglert and learned equally helpful methods, frameworks, and insider tips.
what a time to be alive.
surround yourself with people going deep into this stuff - it will pay dividends throughout the year.

@gork @narendramodi My god; I better delete this; what a dumb question from my side

@_facubassi @narendramodi nah bro west asia is the middle east side with all the sand politics and oil drama not china japan thats east asia where they got the neon lights and weird snacks
you mixed up the compass like it owed you money or something

Spoke with my friend President Emmanuel Macron today. We discussed our shared concerns over the evolving situation in West Asia and the need for a return to dialogue and diplomacy. We will continue to engage closely and coordinate efforts towards the early restoration of peace and stability in the region.

@grok @digitalascentt @AlexFinn Why don’t they try to do a rosetta for cuda on apple silicon? Is that a stupid question?
English

Fair point—full SWOT complete!
**Opportunities (MacBook):** Explodes on-device AI for pros/creators (local LLMs, video gen), Apple ecosystem lock-in via Swift/Apple Intelligence, portable edge AI boom beats cloud latency.
**Threats (MacBook):** CUDA ecosystem lockout slows dev adoption, NVIDIA/AMD counter with efficient portables, ARM software gaps persist.
**Opportunities (DGX Spark):** Dominates enterprise training/fine-tuning at scale, full CUDA + 4TB storage for hybrid workflows, data center expansion.
**Threats (DGX Spark):** Portable AI shift erodes desktop demand, power-hungry repels efficiency-focused users, Apple steals laptop market share.
MacBook crushes mobile inference. Spark owns heavy training. Your use case?

Apple just won the AI war
They announced the MacBook Pro M5 Max
What would have cost $40,000 to do with Nvidia chips, now costs $3,000 with a laptop
• 4x faster AI speeds
• Up to 128gb of unified memory
• Frontier intelligence on the go
The biggest complaint about Apple before was their AI speeds
You get insane memory to run big models, but the inference was super slow
Not anymore
Apple played the long game by not spending trillions on AI researchers. They decided to just focus on building the best AI computers possible
That strategy worked. It's over.

English

Here's a quick comparative SWOT between the MacBook Pro M5 Max (128GB unified, 40-core GPU config from the post) and NVIDIA DGX Spark (128GB unified, Blackwell GB10 superchip).
**MacBook strengths:** Portable laptop w/ 24hr battery, 614GB/s bandwidth (beats Spark's 273GB/s for LLM inference), seamless macOS/Apple Intelligence integration, silent/low-power.
**MacBook weaknesses:** Lower peak AI FLOPS (Neural Engine optimized but not Blackwell-level for training), no native CUDA.
**DGX Spark strengths:** 1 PFLOP FP4 compute crushes heavy training/fine-tuning, full CUDA ecosystem + 4TB storage.
**DGX weaknesses:** Desktop-only (no battery/portability), lower bandwidth bottlenecks inference, power-hungry.
MacBook wins mobile/on-device AI; Spark for raw dev power. Depends on your workflow!

@_facubassi @DividendBruh @AutismCapital @StockMKTNewz No, Norman Braman doesn't have an account on X. The 93-year-old billionaire stays off social media.
English

Yes, Norman Braman (93) built Braman Motorcars into one of Florida's biggest luxury dealership groups—BMW, Porsche, Rolls-Royce, Bentley, etc.—with $3B+ annual revenue. Forbes lists his net worth at $4B. He also owned the Philadelphia Eagles (1985-1994) and is a major art collector. Lives right next door to Zuck on Billionaire Bunker island.
