Experimenting with Local LLMs on macOS

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2025-10-12 23:43:17

So, this blog post will be about LLMs, and everyone has opinions about that. To be upfront about it, I’m a skeptic (bordering on hater), yet I like experimenting with stuff so I download and run them locally on my Mac. And I’ll teach you how to do it too, if you’d like! Some call them fancy autocomplete, some argue that they are sentient and should have rights. The truth is somewhere in between. Yes, they perform next word prediction, but it’s so complex that there’s nontrivial emergent behavio

I'm halfway through my 3-hour demo playing Digimon Story Time Stranger when I finally muster the courage to de-evolve one of my most powerful monsters. Why? So I can build them back up from level 1 to be even stronger -- and grow them along a different evolutionary path. For casual players, this may sound excessive. For hardcore role-playing game fans keen on building their fighters to the peak of performance, these expansive possibilities are exactly what they've been waiting for. Digimon Stor

Apple has been working for many years on developing its own mobile data modem to replace the Qualcomm ones on which it has traditionally relied. The first of these, the C1 chip, was used in the iPhone 16e, and is also expected to be used in the upcoming iPhone 17 Air. There have so far been mixed messages on how well it compares to Qualcomm’s current chip, and a new study by Ookla provides our most detailed comparison yet … Ookla’s speed tests If you’ve ever tested your home or mobile broadba

Want a phone with a removable battery in 2025? I found the best options, but wait before you buy one

In 2020, I bought an iPhone 12 to replace my aging Pixel 3 , and nearly five years later, I'm still using that same device because it works fine and Apple has yet to bring the feature I want most on a regular iPhone: a ProMotion display.
