Woke up this morning and went for a 8km walk a little later than my normal time but the main thing is that I got out of the house for that walk I need in the morning. I know it isn’t setting the bar very high but what I’m aspiring to is to get up at 9:30am every morning and going for at least an 8km walk every day and on days off because of wet weather I’ll keep getting up at 9:30am to ensure that I keep in a good routine because once you fall out of a routine it can be sometimes difficult to get back into it again.

There is an interesting article regarding Microsoft recommending 32GB of memory (link) which make sme wonder, as part of Windows K2 and moving more of the system over to the Windows App SDK/WinUI 3 that they’ve realised that maybe for a lot of what customer’s wish to do they can actually get it done using a scaled down local model. The reason why I say that is because if you push up the recommended memory up to 32GB then it would provide the amount of memory required to run these models locally which is particularly important for businesses who may wish to use LLM but for security and privacy reasons want to run them locally – the benefits of AI without the security and privacy headaches.
