I really appreciate your wisdom hidden in this long thread embedded in a promotional post.

A lot of things changed between your last reply. I left the enterprise potholes and rabbit holes. (Ironically I got that job via a HN hire thread three years ago. I was very lucky to have a manager who would hire someone like me.)

Now I am relieved to explore what I see on the horizon. The first thing I did was going to the Apple Store to buy a latest M5 MacBook Pro with the highest 24G memory and get MLX running.

It was surprisingly good.

Now I am watching all the vibe coding videos by Andrej Karpathy and see what the trendy kids are doing.

Then I will sit down and walk through all the NN and LLM papers, dive deep to MLX, and imagine what Alan Turing would do if he had my M5.
