What can I run on a M4 Pro with 48 GB or RAM?

That.

And I had to look down every time I had use it. I am glad to see it go.

Not just _wrong_. It is confused! It is actually right in the second sentence. This was Friday, Opus 4.6.

>I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

Walk. It's 50 meters — you're going there to clean the car anyway, so drive it over if it needs washing, but if you're just dropping it off or it's a self-service place, walking is fine for that distance.

To me Claude Opus 4.6 seems even more confused.

I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?

>functionally useless skills

The dog would disagree! :-)

I admire your mother. She is a real hacker.

I am reduced to keeping Emacs and VSCode open on the same files/project :-) Use the LLM from VSCode and switch back to Emacs for regular editing!

Currently trying out various Emacs packages. I got 'claude-code.el' actually working. But there is some flickering and also the interface is a bit wonky.

I will try other packages mentioned in the article.

For the life of me, I can't _edit_ with VSCode. My Emacs/Doom/Evil muscle memory is too ingrained.

Cmd+Shift+m mutes/un-mutes your Mic when focus is on teams window.

I think GP is asking about a global (from any application) mute/unmute teams Mic. I have wished for one for ever.

Well CL is supposedly the programmable programming language. So none of this is surprising..

Yep. Org-gtd, Org-Roam and Org-journal user here. Haven't needed anything else. All local, searchable with deft and old fashioned grep.

Very nice!!

Does it not print the notes? I tried to print a month and it is not showing any notes in the preview.

I have used Raku (Perl 6) with good results.

Common Lisp. Using 'iterate' package almost feels like cheating.

I have done half a year in (noob level) Haskell long ago. But can't find the code any more.

Most mind blowing thing for me was looking at someone's solutions in APL!

Few years into Perl 6, they should have recognized the writing on the wall, forked off Raku and let Perl 5 grow on its own.

One of the biggest fumbles in the history of computing. (With hindsight ofcourse..)

Same here. I use Raku instead.

I use Raku on a regular basis. I think it is the best language to write DevOps (for lack of a better term) scripts.

Perfect for people who find Bash too sharp and fragile and Python too tedious.

Ocaml can be as imperative as you need it to be. Or as functional.

It has no dogmatic inclination towards functional. It has a very pragmatic approach to mutation.

Hell, I have always wanted a '67 mustang. Time to ditch modern cars and get one.

I particularly hate the 'modern' trend of have a large touch screen tablet instead of all the knobs and buttons.

Even some motorcycles have electronic throttle control now a days. When you twist the throttle, it doesn't pull a cable anymore.

Its all controlled by electronics now.

I am assuming/hoping that testing from Boeing/Airbus is far more stringent than that of Jeep !
