Re:Ask HN: I have $5k to spend on a local AI machine, what should I get?

More info needed but for 5k you can get a near maxed mbp that should be able to handle most models, perform pretty well, and also serve as your laptop so it’s not a pure AI box. Then if you have heavier needs go to the cloud.

Not wrong, but dumb. Your company now probably legally owns everything on your laptop.

Re:Ask HN: What do Engineering Managers do at your company?
