It's actually just wild - my last apt in Manhattan was built in 2018 and had a gas range. The "exhaust fan" just vented back into the kitchen and the only "exhaust" per se was a vent in the bathroom that "sucked" all the way to the roof with negative pressure.

If I ran my stove for more than 15 min my carbon monoxide / fire alarm would go off.

I've found just opening a window does the most to make a difference - in most European / US homes (even with propane / gas service) the "exhaust" just blows into the same room or a cabinet!

That said, I personally use the Breathe Airmonitor Plus [1] - I kept having issues with calibration with the temtop unit. Mostly decided on this one since it uses an NDIR sensor similar to my Aranet which I carry with me all the time.

I'm a huge fan of OpenRouter and their interface for solid LLM's but I recently jumped into fine tuning / modifying my own vision models for FPV drone detection (just for fun) and my daily workstation and it's 2080 just wasn't good enough.

Even in 2025 it's cool how solid a setup dual 3090's still are. nvlink is an absolute must but it's incredibly powerful. I'm able to run the latest Mistral thinking models and relatively powerful yolo based VLM's like the ones RoboFlow is based on.

Curious if anyone else is still using 3090's or has feedback for scaling up to 4-6 3090s.

Thanks everyone ;)

This is incredibly sad and also does not bode well for the future deployment of these tools.

Eventually even software engineers will wake up to the reality that these tools destroy lives and destabilize or wreck entire careers. These companies do not care about you at all.

How would you recommend software engineers looking for work contact you to stand out?

I think this is the biggest challenge for most engineers looking for work right now.

When I lived in New York it was jarring to see how clogged my hepa filter would be with black particulate every three months.

No way it's good to be inhaling any of that - break dust and all.
