True but memory bandwidth is not the entire story. Geekbench (while not a end-all benchmark) shows: Single-Core Multi-Core M1 Max, 10-core 2,204 14,004 M4 Pro, 14-core 3,311 24,

If anybody is looking for alternatives, I’m a very happy user of Bezel ( https://beszel.dev ) on my home lab servers including a Raspberry Pi Kubernetes cluster and TrueNAS. Highly recommend.

I also can feel a speed/sluggishness difference between my M1 Max MacBook Pro and my M4 Pro (14 core).

Upgrading to 48GB memory is $600…. Gut punch. I have a M4 Pro (top cpu skew 14 cores). Any idea the performance gain to M5 Pro? I feel like they holding off releasing M6 Pro because a new studio is dropping soon as well.

There a few factors at play. I believe China has launched a very successful campaign of misinformation in order to slow down US progress and allow them to “win” the “AI War”. Then climate activists and let’s be frank far left leaning people

Seems useful for s3 buckets. I suppose a script that watches for new objects, calculates its sha256 and stores that in a DB, then checks for duplicate hashes would be a fairly trivial task. Though s3 doesn’t support symbolic links so accoun

It’s absolutely wild that agents used a write access oversight in their package manager to communicate amongst themselves. It essentially created an agent ad-hoc chat interface using their own package manager file system.

Also use Blacksmith for arm64 runners but this outage apparently affected webhooks so their runners are not picking up jobs either.

Congratulations on the launch. I’m very bullish on this concept of allowing SMB’s and startups to roll their own software and internal tools. Many many moons ago I built an entire inventory tracking and CRM for a very small company in PHP (

Be warned, once you get into mechanical watches it can be a debilitating addiction. :-). I started out with a Tag Heuer Aquaracer Professional and then sold that to buy an Omega Seamaster Diver which I love. I’m lusting for a Audemars Pigue

The quickest way to lose the AI battle to China and reinstate censorship and model political bias is to hand the industry over to the government. This doesn’t just benefit democrats, whatever political party is in power will use them as too

One reason is that politicians have vilified them for their own political means. Creating false narratives like they use huge amounts of water, when in fact the cooling is a closed loop system and use less water than a single busy restauran
