My company had a really terrible experience trying to use Groq, and I would NOT recommend anyone use their service if you need reliability. So many random errors, so many silly quirks.

I am exactly the same, except I am really excited about this update! It’s not so much “in parallel” but being able to easily jump between threads. It allows me to dive into misc investigations in a side thread without derailing some main context where I’m doing the main editing.

That makes it easy to prove authenticity (has signature), but doesn’t solve the “prove it’s fake” problem.

M3 Ultra with 256 GB memory, using GPT-OSS 120b in ollama. It’s decently fast, but makes the system somewhat unstable. Have to reboot frequently otherwise the GPU seems to flake (eg visual artifacts / glitches in other programs).

Seize Russian assets to fund the repairs. You break it, you buy it.

My first hand experience with the deterioration of quality in MacOS: I bought a Mac Studio to run some traditional ML neural network type stuff with PyTorch. Unfortunately the GPU / MPS kept crashing (?!) and would require a full reboot of the computer to get working again. Without a reboot, PyTorch would not find a GPU / MPS device and random other apps would glitch. After finding nothing in logs and no information about how to debug anything related to MPS, I contacted Apple Support. Apple support was completely unhelpful and a very frustrating experience. It felt like they were laundering responsibility through the veneer of some engineer having glanced at whatever internal second hand report the support staff transcribed from me. The situation improved a bit after upgrading to Metal 4, but in the end I moved back to Tensorflow. It's very disappointing to spend $6k on a machine and the software doesn't work as expected.

If we legalized, taxed, and regulated drugs this wouldn’t happen.

Disagree. Do you mean that vehicles gets louder because people skip maintenance? Or more stress produces more honking? An opposite effect: more financial stress means less spending on aftermarket exhaust mods means quieter traffic. Also, financial stress means less driving means less noise. Overall, I doubt you're going to find much signal in the noise!

Is this a viable workaround… Charge $XX entry/membership fee for the opportunity to buy ice at the regular price?

Can you provide a "so what?" summary?

Comments on your resume:

1. First line is "Using Cursor, Claude 3.7, and OpenAI every day". You can't win with this. You don't take weekends off? Red flag. You do take weekends off? Then the first line of your resume is a lie and I wonder what else isn't honest.

2. #1 skill is Vibecoding? Red flag. Your resume would look better without the left column of skills. None of your experience backs up those skills.

3. The experiences listed are all 1-2 years, with the longest one being your self-employed one. Why are they all so short?
