i basically never had to work (EU privilege + luck of being born the skill of knowing how to sell to people well) and only worked on stuff that i enjoyed and not a lot of hours (and that turned into millions fast) and my 20s/30s flew l

i hear you but the latency between the cpu and ram, the battery life, and the quality of software is way worth a few weird buttons to me. everything has downsides. Windows is completely ridiculous, and between Linux and Mac OS, well, I thin

by RickyLahey 9mo ago
no. but it gives you access to good hardware and software that works well on it. the only combination of this kind.

depending on your usecase $200/mo is often not much for a coding tool if you're using it for commercial purposes in my experience cursor is nicer to work with the openai/anthropic cli tools

it really depends what you are using your computer for a 128GB SoC m4 pro max can do pretty wild data science with close to a terabyte/second speed without the latency of typical offloading/back-and-forth

i believe the most popular reason is capo on 1st fret when writing songs, other factors coming 2nd or 3rd (electronic music, sped up old samples, etc)
