- ant6n 2y agoJust get a Mac Studio with 512GB RAM and run a local model when the internet is down.
- _puk 2y agoBack up your $20 a month subscription with a $2000 Mac Studio for those days your internet is down. Peak HN.
- automatic6131 2y agoLol he suggested a $10k Mac Studio But you can at least resell that $10k Mac Studio, theoretically.
- mettamage 2y agoTrying to do that with an M1 laptop of 32 GB and it's hard to get even 1000 euro's for it in the Netherlands whereas the refurbished price is at double of that.
- yohannesk 2y agoEven more absurd is that Mac Studio with 512GB RAM costs around $9.5K
- ant6n 2y ago> Peak HN. But, alas, not a single upvote.
- rullopat 2y ago2000$? You wish!
- _puk 2y agoLol, not sure where I got the 2k from. Brain fart, but I'll let it stand :D

- timothygold 2y agoMaybe this "backup" solution.. developed into commodity hardware as an affordable open source solution that keeps the model and code locally and private at all times is the actual solution we need. Lets say a cluster of raspberry pi's / low powered devices producing results as good as claude 3.7-sonnet. Would it be completely infeasible to create a custom model that is trained on your own code base and might not be a fully fledged LLM but provides similar features to cursor? Have we all gone bonkers sending our code to third parties? The code is the thing you want to keep secret unless your working on an open source project.
- jjude 2y agoWhich local model would you recommend that comes close to cursor in response quality? I have tried deepseek, mistral, and few others. None comes close to quality of cursor. I keep coming back to it.

- walthamstow 2y agoA $10k backup plan? That makes sense. No wonder you used a throwaway.

- walthamstow 2y agoThe hardware isn't free. Someone asks a question and your answer is who cares about $10k of hardware hanging around as a subpar backup?
- itsabackupplan 2y agoSee, the thing is, I never wanted to comment on the cost or feasibility of the hardware at all. What I was commenting was that any backup plan is expected to be subpar by very nature, and if not, shouldnbe instantly promoted. If you'll notice that was 100% of what I said. I was adding to the pile of "this plan is stupid". Cursor has an actual value proposition. Of course then you disrespected me with a rude ad hominem and got a rude response back. Ignoring the point and attacking the persin is a concession. M For the record, I and many others use throwaways wvery single thread. This isn't and shouldn't be reddit.
- pknerd 2y agoCan one run cursor with local LLMs only?
- eadmund 2y agoBut then I’d be using a Mac, and that would slow my development down and be generally miserable.
- throwaway314155 2y agolol
- SCdF 2y ago... to make *completely* sure that they forgot how to program?
- risyachka 2y agoI had the exact same experience, pretty sure this happens in most cases, people just don’t realize it
- vrnvu 2y agoMe too. I completely forgot the standard library and basic syntax of my daily language. wow. I went back to VSCode and use Cursor for the AI model to ask questions.
