All notes

I pointed a tiny local model at repetitive classify/draft work so cloud credits stay for judgment. 0.5b fails simple labels; 1.5b is usable. Harness next.

Local Linux admin, job apps, screenshots, hand-over, always-on agents, and a laptop + VM screen you can actually watch.

DHH’s Arch-like distro made the install easy, packaged Grok Bot, and gave me a clean reason to leave Claude Cowork.

7.5 years, Aware Super merger, Melb→Sydney, first child — and a LinkedIn note on closing the door.

Successor fund transfer to Aware Super, and redundancies rolling as the operating model closes.

In-car Grok — Polish kids stories, Chemist Warehouse detours on FSD, beach fish-and-chips, and hardware control next.

Positive on ownership and FSD, a three-year-old co-pilot, mall charging, and a Melbourne Christmas run on Superchargers.

Announcement day for HW4 cars — influencers first, subscription bought, then about three weeks waiting on the OTA.

Dual motor Juniper arrives — quiet glass, proper space, punchy performance, and yes, the light show.

Earlier Model Y test drive was a no — Juniper + FSD sealed it, with HW4 and Australia rumours in the mix.

MoU day — uncertain for everyone, after years of Azure platforms, DR, and hands-on DevOps.

Excellent for job applications and building this site — weaker for local computer-use, and the chat / cowork / code split felt fragmented.

Promising at first. Then stuck states, breakage, and local models that never quite installed or ran reliably.
