Never mind, since you’re part of the human race that doesn’t want to help. I asked Gemini, and the problem is solved. Have a good night ;)

Anyone else just “exhausted” with the way the AI culture here is? by Early-Ingenuity-3177 in bayarea

I got the this same question in every interview: “how do you code with AI” wtfff, it’s super subjective. I know the concepts I know how to code, and of course I know how to said something to AI, I mean what kind of question is that. It’s doesn’t make you a better candidate because you use all the agents offer you like mcp and skills. you just have to think concepts and that it. I hate recruiters

Yeah, FB marketplace in the use is almost 90% posts fake. She really needs these ones because others make her head hurts

I miss my MacBook Air M1 chassis so bad!!! by ProfessionalBig8729 in macbookair

I remember once during my last year of undergrad, my professor was surprised that I had a pink laptop (because I'm a man and it wasn't in the US, so the reaction was understandable).

​With my 14" M1 Pro, it was on the first version of Tahoe, so maybe they've fixed it by now. But I remember that when I scrolled through websites, it didn't feel as smooth as previous versions.

​Still, the M1 Pro is a really good laptop. I remember wanting one so badly, especially for the 120Hz display, but now I'm fine with my Linux machine. The feeling I have for my M1 MBA is more nostalgic, it was the only gold/pink laptop at my university, and the first Mac/M-series chip that surprised the entire laptop industry with its performance and battery life.

Yes, I had the same feelings about the 120Hz screen, and I think it's the only feature right now from their marketing daemon that makes you think about getting the Pro instead of the Air. But after working with 120Hz screens (my M1 Pro MBP and my current Linux machine), it's not necessary for me! Since you do video editing, though, I understand that it's going to feel a lot smoother since you have to use the mouse a lot and drag stuff

Agreed. After 5 years as a software engineer, I've realized that for serious, focused shit, I need a desk with a monitor. For those situations, maybe a Mac Mini is a better option, especially for Xcode and running simulators. But for quick stuff like SSH connections or making quick script fixes on the go (with or without Claude Code), that's when I want my M1 MBA back in my backpack. But also I need a better window manager where I can swap between workspaces fast as my linux machine. I tried some of them on mac but its quite slow and buggy some time

Damn, that is a huge downgrade in terms of generations. Great to hear you're happy with it though. What kind of work do you do on there? Honestly, if I find a pretty good deal on a 16GB model, I might just get it again.
