I just use an LLM for the most part, give it a quick proofread, and publish it.

Worthwhile to note that the author of this PR, Matteo Collina , is the lead maintainer of fastify and Chair of the Node.js Technical Steering Committee.

I will add that using eBay and ThriftBooks, it's super easy to get your hands on used books even if you're in an area without a large bookstore.

It's little details like this that make Go an absolute pleasure to use on the daily.

My feel is the "feel" segmentation is like this: MacBook Neo: for students (some primary school, probably more geared to post-secondary) and people who want a lightweight (form factor, price…

Then you're not the intended market for the MacBook Neo.

My M4 Max MBP has a headphone jack on the left.

> What is the product segmentation? RAM, CPU cores, GPU cores, for the most part.
comment
> macOS with a browser open pretty quickly hits 13 GiB of RAM usage for me. Without context on total memory available, this is a meaningless metric. Free RAM is wasted RAM.

I doubt anyone learning to program would need to subscribe to a remote dev machine just to run hello world type programs. From 2020-2023 I used an 8GB Macbook Air M1 to develop a lot of relatively hea…

> It chugs if I launch a node server yes but that's an outlying use case for an 8gb air. May I ask if you have many 3rd party apps installed? What apps do you usually keep open at a time? Beca…

> I've seen the stocks app take up 2GB of RAM before. Even Control Centre can be a RAM hog. If Apple were still slinging efficient software 8GB is one thing but their catalyst based crapware i…

Yes it does. I was clarifying what the commenter was saying; not making his statement myself. akmarinov said their M1 doesn't support apple intelligence but they still think it's plenty usab…

The only difference the laptop would make is slightly better cooling; although with the effort Apple puts into iPhone/iPad thermals, I doubt it'll be exceptionally better. At most, maybe a 2…

You would be shocked to learn that HP is able to sell plenty of $500 Chromebooks with 8GB of RAM.

They were referring to their M1 not being able to support Apple Intelligence.

The A18 Pro has been around since September 2024, we have plenty of benchmarks.
comment
The A18 Pro is roughly 30% faster in single-thread, and about equal in multi-core performance compared to the M1. The iGPU is also superior, and for AI it has 38 TOPS vs 11 in the M1. The A18 Pro shou…
