I went to a larger university, and was in the math department for most of my coursework. My math homework was graded by fellow undergraduate students who received a rubric and selected 4 problems per homework set, out of about 8ish (most classes. A few tough classes only assigned 2-3 proofs or so a week) but the TAs would grade the exams and the professors wouldn’t grade anything. Homework was at most 15-20% of one’s grade, exams being the rest. But most of my professors didn’t care about the homework as it was a tool for learning the material that was on the exams.

Those fans will not have sufficient static pressure to be useful. These makeshift purifiers may be great in a pinch (wildfire season and stores are all out), but far from the best.

But you just ask the LLM to produce a new well-tested artifact to perform those tasks for you, then let it call them and orchestrate them as needed. IT folk have long been creating quality of life scrips for themselves to automate tasks, the LLMs make this even easier. So we get more determinism for cheaper, if done correctly.

Google provides Vertex for search, but it’s quite slow and so probably only useful for async workloads.

Cloudflare tunnels work pretty well for this, tho. That with vlan or diff lan and it’s mostly fine.

I believe 2.5 lite will be deprecated on the 20th or so. Recently had to move to newer models at work.

Edit to add that my ai scientists currently use google’s vertex for web search and grounding as well as firecrawl.

WebOS was pretty cool (Palm). But I’m not sure if Palm would have licensed it. Lg ended up with it.

Take a look at AMD’s 12-channel memory servers. The newer Epycs are up to 16-channels now, 1.6TB/s. Pretty great for inference.

Claude will do this for you after a few times. But yes, I have a skill called plan-to-epic which creates a Jira epic and ticket per milestone. It helps my agents persist context and, because I’m terrible at competing with my coworkers for “visibility,” means I can point to all my work if asked.

Looks like Antigravity cli is moving to weekly limits whereas Gemini cli was daily. Ouch

Microsoft used to with their Azure Service Dev Kit. the ASDK was a single-node "sandbox" meant to emulate the entire Azure cloud locally. They may have something similar now but paired back

Those keys are easily replaced, my friend.
