I don't think I'm ready for this, I might never go back to "real" work.

Sting-ER could also work too

If you intersperse the music and fill in with articles from HN or your favorite subreddits it would be a fun listen.

The Indian-born textbook author mentioned (Malkiat Singh [0]) had an inordinate influence on many Kenyan students because his textbooks were the de-facto standard for years. Its interesting how this influence extends as his students get to curate the LLMs on which the world has come to rely.

Soulseek is still going?

I discovered so many artists, international variations of albums, live sessions and bootlegs from that app, it changed my relationship with music.

I have to go back and check it out.

There's even a FOSS client now https://github.com/nicotine-plus/nicotine-plus

Nicotine+ has existed for at least 15 years. I'm pretty sure it was open source all this time.

while Soulseek has existed for 24 years, I mention it in case GP's use didn't overlap.

Soulseek is definitely still going, and absolutely still captures that feeling GP is talking about :)

Beyond that, and practically speaking, I find it the easiest way to find large, nicely organized discographies. And some not so nicely organized.

Like most people I think, I prefer to prepend and add to the top of the txt file they are working on.

Having spent enough time with marketing and PR folks, I really wouldn't be surprised if this supposed backlash is overhyped as a way to get more people interested in seeing the ad.

If this was intentional PR, then someone wildly misread the room

Some marketers thrive on "bad PR." The Paul brothers and Tesla are good examples.

An old adage says, there is no such thing as "bad PR".

The old adage is dumb, of course there is bad PR, that’s why people hire PR firms to begin with

they want more people to see it so they removed it from YouTube?

Outrage and clickbait has more than one form and it works surprisingly well on masses, part of orange mans success story. Just look at us discussing it, it wouldn't happen with (much more costly) normal MCD ad.

It is hard to buy this type of mass coverage along with:

"Wow McDonald's they really have a moral compass and listen to the people!"

If I was cynical marketer I would say make a couple of copies. And then pull it from your channel. Then spread those on social media.

If I was a cynical troll I would generate something ghastly, spread it on social media, and claim it was from McDonalds.

they probably understand it’s impossible (or very hard) to fully delete viral content and that it’d get re-shared

PLUS they double dip as they get extra search traffic for their brand from people trying to find the video

the forbidden fruit is more enticing

I've encountered far too many people who actively seek out ads or look forward to them, people I usually respect, its baffling.

It worked

TLDR Unfortunately, medicine took a very long time to realize that vitamin D is not simply a vitamin that prevents rickets.

We know today that vitamin D is a powerful nuclear receptor-activating hormone of critical importance, especially to the immune system.

With the available data mentioned above, the proposed doses would probably suffice to maintain vitamin D levels around or over 75-100 nmol/L, with practically zero risk of toxicity.

Hardware: MacBook Pro M4 Max, 128GB

Platform: LMStudio (primarily) & Ollama

Models:

- qwen/qwen3-coder-30b A3B Instruct 8-bit MLX

- mlx-community/gpt-oss-120b-MXFP4-Q8

For code generation especially for larger projects, these models aren't as good as the cutting edge foundation models. For summarizing local git repos/libraries, generating documentation and simple offline command-line tool-use they do a good job.

I find these communities quite vibrant and helpful too:

Since you are on Mac, if you need some kind code execution sandbox, check out Coderunner[1] which is based on Apple container, provides a way execute any LLM generated cod e without risking arbitrary code execution on your machine.

I have recently added claude skills to it. So, all the claude skills can be executed locally on your mac too.

I have a Mac Studio with the M4 Max and 128GB RAM

The Qwen3-coder model you use is pretty good. You can enable the LM Studio API and install the qwen CLI and point to the API endpoint. This basically gives you functionality similar to Claude code.

I agree that the code quality is not on part with gpt5-codex and Claude. I also haven't tried z.ai's models locally yet. I think on a Mac with that size GLM 4.5 Air should be able to run.

For README generation I like gemma3-27b-it-qat and gpt-oss-120b.

More importantly than gaining a client for Nvidia's AI chips, this investment gives the company a solid foothold in a competitor to Broadcom in the wireless, datacenter and networking solutions space. I wouldn't be surprised if Nvidia eventually scoops up all of Nokia.

That is what I wish would happen as well.

Except Nokia use Broadcom chips in pretty much all their datacentre and cheapo networking products.
