Is getting something like M3 Ultra with 512GB ram and doing oss models going to be cheaper for the next year or two compared to paying for claude / codex? Did anyone do this kind of math?

I have terabytes of iphone photos/videos accumulated over the years. Apple Photos app is trash when it comes to handling large libraries so I’ve been splitting them by year which is fine for archiving but horrible for actually browsing

Would love to see this in Cursor. My workaround right now is using a bunch of rules that sort of work some of the time.

I did consider it, and I think you're exactly right RE the direction I would go into (colored wire, larger pieces, etc). But then I had a bunch of other things happen in life and so I had to put it all on pause. The world of art (and e

hehe, if anyone's interested, I built a similar machine around 2018-2020 [1], although I never automated the nail pick-and-place part of the process. I also used epoxy instead of plaster. [1] https://www.instagram.com/s

This would be my guess as well. I work on Pyroscope, which is a continuous profiling platform and so I see a lot of profiles from various organizations. If you want to save the world some CPU cycles I would look into optimizing deserializat

Tries (or prefix trees). We use them a lot at Pyroscope for compressing strings that have common prefixes. They are also used in databases (e.g indexes in Mongo) or file formats (e.g debug symbols in macOS/iOS Mach-O format are compres

I set up a similar system in the past with redis replicas — it was about 200 MBs of data that I needed to have on quick access to on ~ 300 servers around the world — it was easy to set up and worked really well.
