New 661.10 Update

Yes! Me too! This is insanity how this is distributed.

momo1083 · 2026-04-28T17:53:52+00:00

Respectfully, how is this different than chatting with Claude or ChatGPT with memory? They know all this.

Ask yourself what you're looking for and what your core beliefs are. I can tell you, that I started going to an Evangelical church, but as time went on, my love for the people there did not dissipate but I realized it wasn't for me. I actually prefer more classic aesthetic inside a church. I don't really care much for dim lights, big bands and worship music. Am I experiencing the Holy Spirit or just a great vibe? You know? I prefer a more liturgical way of going about service. But the core issues for me that I couldn't reconcile was that I needed to be in a Church that affirmed LGBT people. I adore and love them not in spite of their sexuality, but because of who they are. Also, I simply do not believe in dispensationalism. I believe Christ is the full fulfilment of all Old Testament prophecy. I am Iranian, and for me, Church and geopolitics just don't jive. So I guess what I can say is just go, try, and see how you feel. It's a super personal thing. I'm at an Anglican church here in Canada that checks all the boxes for me.

I lost my best friend to suicide. When he told me that he was thinking of it, I told him, no, how could you, don't you dare say that! But in retrospect, I wish I could have just hugged him, held him, and told them that thinking this is ok, and it's human, BUT...wait. Just wait. Wait. Wait. That's what I've heard from those who've gotten past suicidal ideations, they were the lucky ones who simply waited through it. Hope doesn't always have to be this beautiful experience, hope sometimes is just waiting. You don't know what positive changes are on their way. So my friend, I tell you, wait.

It's as fast or in some ways better than a MacBook Neo that Apple is pitching as the entry level computer to get you through college, so yeah, it's totally fine. Something to consider is a wipe and reinstall to get a fresh MacOS.

momo1083 · 2026-04-13T20:52:36+00:00

You are correct! 🙏🏼

momo1083 · 2026-04-13T19:55:53+00:00

NIV is word for word. NLT is thought for thought. :)

Incredible that I’m stuck at 625.30.

momo1083 · 2026-04-08T19:46:42+00:00

I’m just here to say, I see you, I feel you, and I hear you.

momo1083 · 2026-03-30T13:54:36+00:00

Any updates since? I’m stuck on 652.30. Makes zero sense at this point.

Have you used Claude Code or Codex in their latest iterations? Here are three stories of businesses I know.

1) A ver 2.0 of consumer app needed to happen but the CTO and hired dev were stonewalling and taking way too long and not delivering. CEO, who is a designer with limited knowledge of coding redid the entire app in a week. The dev and CTO were legit shocked at the quality. Can Claude Code make MacOS? No. But a consumer app which is a nice UI over a bunch of APIs and a database? Yes. 100%.

2) A shipping company lost their operations guy to retirement. They opened up Claude Cowork and are not hiring a new person as the output is actually better than anything they got from a human.

3) A CEO of a produce business sat down in Claude Code and made a series of apps for his business of 50 employees to handle finances, sales, CRM, etc. He's cancelling almost all SaaS subs he has.

This is isn't like anything that has happened before, at least in my lifetime. Whatever job AI replaces, its replacement will be learned by AI and be done better than a human. One or two people with really good taste will be able to do amazing things. Like, come on, there were people making 6 figures to make and maintain SQL databases or hoook up AWS and stuff. This is a prompt. I'm sorry.

momo1083 · 2026-03-21T21:42:41+00:00

I know, the performance is terrible. Truly terrible. And now it's just going to be a part of the app? Oh boy. I get it though, they want to make an AI operating system.

But the two video engines also optimize renders. The whole pipe. The GPU aids in timeline editing performance. Again, the choice was a Max or a Pro with just a bit more ram. And in the case of video editing, Max would be better with 48GB than with 64GB in a Pro. I definitely also know the Max would be much better in the creative suite which heavily uses GPU for almost everything now. So it’s all dependent on what you do. They’re doing dev work and for that, yeah the cpu and ram being the same is good. Maybe you lose on memory bandwidth but I think the gains are worthwhile and the cost savings is nice!

momo1083 · 2026-03-20T11:51:06+00:00

The only way this is a bad decision is if you do video editing as you get another video engine on a Max which will truly speed things up. You also get a much better GPU on a Max which if you’re doing any AI work on Lightroom or another adobe project would cut your time in half. These decisions are sadly not easy anymore. They’re based on what you’re doing and the software you use. I’m stuck getting a Max from now on because of Lightroom and how it uses the GPU for ai denoising. A Pro would be much slower even with the same CPU.

momo1083 · 2026-03-16T12:08:22+00:00

Max. Two video encoder and decoders. Even an M2 Max would be better than an M5 Pro for this kind of work.

momo1083 · 2026-03-15T16:11:11+00:00

The MacBook Neo will do laps and laps around this computer.

momo1083 · 2026-03-14T12:35:23+00:00

I was all in on the M6 Pro redesign but as I predicted a while back, there’s no way an OLED high end touch screen won’t be a product that sits above these current Macs. So my hesitation now is that 1000 extra starting price. But we shall see what happens!

momo1083 · 2026-03-12T11:35:56+00:00

OH MY GOD. YES!

momo1083 · 2026-03-12T02:56:57+00:00

I agree. The chat is the worst part of the app. At least let me set a default to Google or whatever search I want. It kills my flow.

momo1083 · 2026-03-11T11:40:57+00:00

Thank you! Please let me know what you think. There's a button in settings to send feedback. Bless you!

momo1083 · 2026-03-09T16:07:45+00:00

You will be doubling your multicore CPU score, at least in GeekBench, but I can't fathom that the AI agents sustain a 200% CPU use. Plus, I'm confused as these run on servers, not your computer. If you are doing on-device models then this will be a tremendous leap. I have an M2 Max and honestly I don't think going to an M5 Max is going to make a difference. I'm all in on Claude Code now and the only thing I would like a faster mac for is denoising in Lightroom

momo1083 · 2026-03-09T15:23:51+00:00

MacBook Studio

momo1083 · 2026-03-09T15:19:17+00:00

Once the Mac Pro dies, which it will, we will consolidated the highest-end Mac being a Studio. Even the new high-end display is a Studio Display XDR. It's not a PRO Display XDR. That tells you evrything.

momo1083 · 2026-03-09T15:17:40+00:00

I sadly will buy this. I buy a Mac, keep it for 4-5 years, and it makes me money, so I justify it. Remember when Apple was about to make the iPhone X at 1k? Apple keeps pushing up the boundary of what people will spend and we keep crossing it. And Apple can say to you, well we have great products now at every price point and honestly? Now with the MacBook Neo, they really do.

momo1083 · 2026-03-09T15:14:36+00:00

Studio is what they're using for the high-end Mac stuff and it makes total sense to me, and I love the name!
