As others have mentioned this is practical with a VM. It might also be doable with Docker, saving some resources.

Most of us want to go back. It was a simpler and much more optimistic time. Not even 9/11 had happened yet.

True but this isn’t specific to the tech bubble. It’s a feature of capitalism. Competition forces firms to adopt shorter term horizons. If a firm has significant profit to make by focusing on the short term and it does not, its competitor would. If the profit possoble within this period is significant, having the competitor collect it runs the risk of accumulating enough for hostile takeover. That would stop the current firm onwer from collecting profits in the future. Even if focusing on the long term is more profitable over time, firms may not survive in a competitive environment to realize long term profits. These are some fundamental processes that drive firms into short term horizons. With liquid asset markets there are even more direct processes driving firms into short term planning.
Add planning based mainly on prices, which don’t capture a ton of reality and you get situations like a water hungry datacenter in the desert, cause the price of water does not capture its long term availability for example.
All of this has happened in the past, even a century ago. It’s happened and keeps happening in other industries too.

Add storage via good USB hub or use a multi-bay storage box later on. The have built-in hubs. E.g. Terramaster or OWC Mercury Elite Pro.
For the highest possible resource utilization and security support beyond Apple’s, you could try [installing Linux](wiki.debian.org/…/Early-2015-13-inch] and using Docker containers for everything. You should be able to run quite a few services.
The next best option resource-wise is to run a large Linux VM and docker containers inside it. The Docker for Mac setup does exactly that. This is how we solved running a complex and resource hungry tech stack locally for development at a past workplace.
Then come running services in multiple VMs.

Not it. People are worried bout what heir brand of authoritarin capitalism will do with transhumnism.
Whenever you see technoligical skepticism, it’s almost always about its effects on the working class as used by the ruling class of the time. If for example you opened up a new public research agency for AI with the short term goal of developing open source AI and the long term promise to reduce the work week for all through AI productivity advancement, I think you’d get broad support.
Today however we hear private execs left front and centre salivating over the layoffs they’d be able to achieve thanks to AI, or over the new profit growth they’re gonna achieve. Most people know they ain’t getting any of that profit and would instead be stuck with the layoffs and inequality, among other negative effects. And history tells us this is a well founded concern.

Not sure what a music assistant is. It acts like a media player in Home Assistant. Actually now that I think about it, I don’t know how I’d play music on it. It doesn’t seem to do cast. 🤭
- Comment on Google Assistant Is Basically on Life Support and Things Just Got Worse 2 weeks ago:
For music, it’s not great. For voice, it’s pretty good. It’s decently loud and legible. There’s no bass. The mics however are pretty good. As far as I’ve read, you can’t get the mics to work well unless they’re tuned for that speaker in physical placement and hardware/firmware. The HA speaker uses the same kind of DSP chip that makes it possible for it to hear well in worse than ideal conditions which makes speech recognition work so well. So yeah, if you don’t wanna faff with stuff and you don’t care about music, just get it. It’s got 3.5mm TRS out if you wanna hook a proper speaker for music. The DAC is probably not amazing for HiFi but should you want to hook up something like a JBL Charge, I imagine it should work. In fact I’m planning to do this in another room where I used to use a larger Google Nest speaker for music.

Buy this. You can use your own voice processing on another machine on your network. You could even hook it up to your Ollama.

Most people don’t buy top of the line NVIDIA so they are okay with lower performance. If lower performance is sold at significantly lower price… they are likely to make a lot of sales. For example if someone offered me a 4060 equivalent for $100, I would buy it instantly and lower my graphics settings if needed.

- Comment on Google AI Overview is just affiliate marketing spam now 2 weeks ago:
This ia crazy. It means Google and Reddit are shifting content from other web sites to Reddit, under corporate control. It seems like Google has firmly entered the unsustainable profit maximization step where they’re now increasing the share of profit they take from their content sources by redirecting less and less traffic to them, while showing that content to Google users.

Yeah we’re definitely playing on hardcore mode. There are some reasons for optimism though. A lot of people who wouldn’t think about these things a few years ago are talking about class. I’m talking regular peope I know. These issues were just not on our horizon until recently. They see things very differently than they used to. That’s the hopium I’m huffing. 😄
