Goodbye, Ohio. It’s been… something…

Some goodbyes feel different. This has been a weird trip back to Ohio. Two more days, then back home to North Carolina.

MiniMax M2.1 just went open weight AND open source. This is my new mountaintop of local LLM goals.
The US is getting their ass kicked in FOSS GenAI models.

I think I may have taken for granted just how EV-friendly The Triangle area of NC is.
Also, how special my Ioniq 5 and its 800v architecture is. Really hard to find the fastest chargers up here in Ohio & Michigan. Too much reliance on Tesla and their network of medium-fast chargers.

Using OpenRouter as my primary point of delivery for various LLMs has done such an amazing job opening my eyes to what is possible in the world of GenAI with smaller models.
MiniMax M2, for example, is such a powerhouse of an open weight model. It's become my daily driver for almost everything.

This aged poorly.
I just watched my second favorite team, and my favorite team get kicked out of the MLS playoffs back to back.
Tonight sucks.

I discovered something genuinely ironic this week. While taking Coursera's "Using AI for Good" course, I opened the developer tools to see what was happening under the hood. What I found was embedded, hidden AI-instructions in the HTML...

Went and saw SIX: The Musical at DPAC in Durham today. What a great show. Great venue. Made me feel like I've been shortchanged all those years at the Stranahan back in Toledo :D

I really cannot oversell just how impressive Linux has been for this absolute newbie to it. Both @bazzite.gg and @cachyos.org are incredible distro's, and I have been floored at just how easy it's been to transition.
I am very close to making a dual boot of Asahi on an old M1 MacBook Air next.

I put a new NVMe into my PC last week to better manage a true dual boot system (windows 11 will live for a while longer to ensure I'm good without it).
I decided to give another Linux distro a shot and installed cachyOS, and holy crap. So good. I haven't loaded WIndows since.

Bouncing between three distinct job roles today has my brain spinning worse than normal, added on to the only three hours of sleep I got last night… wait, what was I saying?

Thanks to @bazzite.gg, I have joined the ranks of Linux-users. Long overdue. I legit had no idea it could be this good, easy to set up, and frictionless.
