Curious about M5 Max 128gb vs 5090 for local LLMs

What are the most intelligent models right now that can be run with that hardware and which setup would be better? Confused about the large vram of Mac vs the speed of CUDA setups.
Interested in general intelligence, and also agentic coding.

Flow dynamics calibration, PETG, auto vs manual question

PETG has had lots of problems for me printing, even after multiple calibrations and overnight drying a few times.
So i tried *manual* flow dynamics calibration today. Interestingly, 'auto' was picking about 0.029, but when i printed manual, i can clearly see stringy/separation of the lines at the top left and top right of the pattern, and the 'corner' in the middle is blobby rather than more of a fine angle. The best looks like 0.05 to me. Is that normal??

Came up to SB yesterday with my buddy, we graduated from UCSB in 2010. Went to state street, first night around 9pm. Was so dead it's crazy, barely anyone around. Did night life move elsewhere? Or is everyone just generally sleepier nowadays?
