As if things are not getting already expensive by each day. Maybe it changes the pace, but that's another problem.

What is this obsession with transparent things?

I laughed so hard. It has been a long time. Thanks!

Unless I'm missing something, I hate fanboys

> The MacBook Neo is a new kind of product for Apple

It's just a laptop with a dumbed down CPU. It is not a NEW KIND of product. Apple already sells laptop with different CPUs..


I think "value laptop" is the new product—for Apple.

The closest they ever came to something similar was the far too expensive 12" MacBook, and the far-too-compromised PowerBook Duo (IMHO).


12" MacBook, PowerBook Duo, PowerBook 2400, and first-gen MacBook Air were attempts at making the smallest possible Mac notebook.

The Neo is their only attempt to date at making the least expensive possible Mac notebook.


And to zoom out a bit, Apple has lots of experience selling budget devices e.g. iPhone SE.

That’s a very spec-focused way to think about something that has nothing to do with specs.

This is a laptop being sold at half the price of the cheapest laptop Apple has ever sold save for some oddities like the eMate.

Apple has never threatened the “I just need a working cheap laptop for $500” market in this way before.


It's new and revolutionary, because it's the first sub-$1000 laptop from Apple.

It is absolutely a distinct, new kind of product for them and I don’t understand how it is fanboyism to say so. They have very few, very clear lanes of products with few variations. This is an entirely different fleet/price point for their laptops. It doesn’t even use the M chip, which every other computer they offer does.

It’s a budget laptop. They didn’t have a budget laptop prior.


To Apple it is a new kind of product.

Apple invents chromebooks!

For double the price!

So, when I steal a sandwich because I'm hungry and I don't have money, is it fair use? What can I do, this how the market works, right?

Hey you forget sales and marketing. Just do that also.


Luckily I suck at that!


Yeah that's why we're replacing you with someone who generated a claude skill which does that! /s


Yeah, this is what bothers too much. Retina displays for low density content? We could've remained at 800x600.

This is awesome. If you made a book or video-course that takes this level of high level explanation and translate it to the technical and then mathematical level, I would buy it in an heartbeat.

This is what I think is missing in most AI (broad sense) learning resources. They focus too much on the math that I miss the intuitive process behind it.


I would really like to see how you implemented DI at the language level. Even at high level document or README file somewhere.


I think Dang is saying that you don't need DI. DI is a way of having some generic code be able to call some specific code when needed. If your whole stack is specific you don't have that problem - instead of the DI call site, you just call the function! Much simpler.


Yes, exactly.


I'm also interested in hearing more about this!

In my own game scripting scheme, I use implicit argument passing, like a cancellation token to async calls, and a rendering context used for immediate mode esque rendering.
