Only the M4 Pro Mac Minis have faster RAM than you’ll get in an off-the-shelf Intel/AMD laptop. The M4 Pros start at $1399.
You want the M4 Max (or Ultra) in the Mac Studios to get the real stuff.

I strongly suspect the systems that are uppercasing everything were not written to handle unicode in the first place though.
If you don’t want to lose potentially important email then you need to make sure your own systems are case-insensitive everywhere. Otherwise you’ll find out the hard way when a customer or supplier is using a system that capitalises entire email addresses (yes, I have seen this happen) & you lose important messages.
Translating a vibe is something the Ur-LLMS (GPT3 etc) were very good at so it’s not entirely surprising that the current state of the art is to be found in things of a “translate thing X that already exists into context Y” nature.
Not taking paying passengers yet though!
This compiler is both slower than gcc even when optimising (you can’t actually turn optimisation off) & doesn’t reject type incorrect code so will happily accept illegal C code. It’s also apparently very brittle - what happens if you feed it the Linux kernel sources v. 6.10 instead of 6.9? - presumably it fails.
All of the above make it simultaneously 1) really, really impressive and 2) completely useless in the real world. Great for creating discussion though!
(Yes, yes: insert Musk related joke here.)
Build time wasn’t great, but it was tolerable, so long as you reduced link parallelism to squeeze inside the memory constraints.
Is it still possible to compile LLVM on such a machine, or is 8Gb no longer workable at all?
(I believe this was because it was fixing an AMD TPM exploit - presumably updating the TPM code wipes the TPM storage either deliberately or as an inevitable side effect.)
The fight over RAM supply is going to upend a lot of product markets. Just random happenstance over whether a company decided to lock in supply for a couple of years is going to make or break individual products.
At least until the supply contracts Sony & Microsoft have signed come up for renewal, at which point they’re going to be getting the short end of the RAM stick too.
In the short term the RAM shortage is going to kill homebrew PC building & small PC builders stone dead - prebuilts from the larger suppliers will be able to outcompete them on price so much that it simply won’t make any sense to buy from anyone except HP, Dell etc etc. Again, this applies only until the supply contracts those big PC firms have signed run out, or possibly only until their suppliers find they can’t source DDR5 ram chips for love nor money, because the fabs are only making HBM chips & so they have to break the contracts themselves.
It’s going to get bumpy.
What a burden of expectations to lay on both yourself & your own family.
I’m glad the author was able to put those aside & live her own life more authentically than her father did.
A text adventure crossed with a point & click puzzle game in a 3D world admittedly but the vast majority of the actual game itself is contained within the text.
If the results are useful, then that’s what matters. Although I do suspect that some AI users are spending more time pulling the AI one-armed bandit handle than it would take them to just solve their problem the old fashioned way a lot of the time - but if pulling the one-armed bandit gets them a solution to their problem that they wouldn’t work up the motivation to solve themselves then that counts too, I guess.
If you told me a decade ago that I could have a fuzzy search engine on my desktop that I could use to vaguely describe some program that I needed & it would go out into the universe of publicly available source code & return something that looks as close to the thing I’ve asked for as it can find then that would have been mindblowing. Suddenly I have (slightly lossy) access to all the code ever written, if I can describe it.
Same for every other field of human endeavour! Who cares if AI can “think“ or “do new things”? What it can do is amazing & sometimes extremely powerful. (Sometimes not, but that’s the joy of new technology!)
Maybe the negotiation can fail & the plugged in orientation is then the only one that works?
Sure. Set your MX to your own SMTP server but pay a mail delivery service to send your emails & use their SMTP servers as your outgoing server. You'll have to setup SPF & DKIM appropriately of course.
It's not trivial to do this, but it should be possible.
The Libreoffice 5.8 (which was just released very recently) is already packaged in backports for trixie for instance. Did things like updated KDE desktops make it to backports for bookworm?
It was absolutely an artistic choice - Sony spent more per frame on those movies than any previous animated film & the directors knew exactly what they were doing when they chose to animate some parts on every second (or even third) frame.
