My MacBook Can Crunch Numbers

January 24, 2025 - 10 mins read

Here we are As I described here, I was wonder-struck on how good the LLMs ran on my MacBook Pro. note NOTE: All the executable commands for bash/zsh are copied from openwebui or other respective official docs. If you don’t know what you are running, research it before you do! l’attention info You will have to enable CPU Virtualization in your BIOS/UEFI settings. This is usually done by pressing a key like F2, F12, DEL, or ESC during startup.

Series: Local LLMs

Warning: Large image files, specifically 3 files that are each around 50MB in size, and aren’t in Dark Mode: don’t scorch your eyeballs. Background Recently, I use Gemini and ChatGPT frequently, with the former being more prominent. They save a lot of time on searching web to find answers. Before these LLMs, It was a great triumph to find an answer we are looking for just searching the web. Hours and hours of time spent reading different forums and the forbidden second and third page of search results from Google when the first page results don’t have the answers.

Series: HPC Compute Cluster at Home

Why I am interested in Theoretical Physics. However, I can bring many fancy ideas using the Mathematics and Theoretical Laws into new theories, I would waste my time if there is no way to test them. Einstein and his colleagues could come up with calculations that helped test General Relativity. It may not always be the case. With theories becoming more abstract and complicated, and experimental setup getting exorbitant as time passes; I believe, numerical computations and simulations stand to be the first line of defense for further pursued interest in experimental verification of new ideas.

In this article, I propose a series of steps that can help us prove the existence of certain elements mentioned in Bhagavata Cosmology (BC) from a Scientific Perspective. BC is a vast model with a lot of features that sound like a Fantasy novel at the first glance.

Introduction Virtualization is the process of chopping up of physical hardware of a computer and assigning it to a separate operating system. In layman’s terms, it is just a computer inside a computer, just like Matrix. There are software written to achieve this, and seeing the potential use cases, microprocessor companies like Intel and AMD started supporting it on the hardware level to boost the performance of the Virtual Machines(VMs).

Functional Equations One evening, I felt down for no reason. I felt like not doing anything I could do, including consuming content. Then came a flash of thought, “It’s been a while you have involved yourself with Functional Equations”. This was the spark moment that led me to a short journey of a surge of inspiration from the infinite abyss of artistic temperament.

Warmup A few years back, I was in a rush to visualize some fields (electromagnetic to be precise) using computers. I asked my professor what could be a good starter; him being an astrophysicist specializing in solar studies, told me about the dark spots on the surface of the sun; which was not very exciting for me.
