for vibe coding stuff, especially when you're outside touching grass, I believe MacBook Neo is perfect. it fills the gap between the phone remote control (which is too painful for chatting with ai cli) and, well, not having any dev device.
- weezing 5mo agoDo people really do that when out in the wild?
- jlokier 5mo agoIt's one of the nicest things to do if you love computers, and great for your health compared with staying indoors. > Could one actually work like this, typing and everything? After my “heart-rate discovery” I decided I had to try it. I thought I’d have to build something myself, but actually one can just buy “walking desks”, and so I did. And after minor modifications, I discovered that I could walk and type perfectly well with it, even for a couple of hours. I was embarrassed I hadn’t figured out such a simple solution 20 years ago. But starting last fall—whenever the weather’s been good—I’ve tried to spend a couple of hours of each day walking outside like this https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-productive-life-some-details-of-my-personal-infrastructure/#:~:text=Could%20one,this,-%3A https://writings.stephenwolfram.com/2019/02/seeking-the-prod... https://quantifiedself.com/blog/stephen-wolfram-finds-working-outside-lowers-his-resting-heart-rate/ https://quantifiedself.com/blog/stephen-wolfram-finds-workin...
- phainopepla2 5mo agoHow do you deal with screen glare?
- gib444 5mo agoMoving to the UK is one option. It's been cloudy for about 7 months!
- Exoristos 5mo agoYou get an Apple product. At least, for me it was that simple. The ThinkPad I had was pretty high end, and I was using polarized glasses and even a sun shade to work at the park while the girls played. Bought a MacBook and the screen seems to crisply outshine even the sunniest days -- I haven't had to worry about outdoor use since, to my recollection.
- Schiendelman 5mo ago+1 to this. Those screens are great in ways that specs just don't show you.
- jlokier 5mo agoBack when I did much work outside, I used a laptop that had accidental transflective characteristics. In bright sunlight, the LCD actually become quite clear monochrome, with some pixels acting as mirrors and others not, but I don't think they designed the LCD to do that.
- redman25 5mo agoI'm not OP but I work outside and use light mode. Macs are generally fairly bright as long as you aren't in direct sunlight. Solarized light mode for the win though.
- weezing 5mo agoI love computers but I am not addicted to computers.
- wiseowise 5mo agoLLM addicts do. The AI overlord said to touch grass, because it is beneficial, but they've glanced over the main part of "disconnect from everything".
- weezing 5mo agoThat's kinda sad to be honest. It's better to just disconnect and enjoy the surroundings. You can get shit done and then rest outside without LLM bullshit.
- timpera 5mo agoI'm pretty disappointed in the Neo's battery life though, it limits a lot how much you can do on the go.
- bombcar 5mo agoHow fast can it recharge is probably the main limiting factor. I’m used to finding power wherever I can from the bad old days, but the M1 laptops have spoiled me.
- zozbot234 5mo agoIt can't run LLMs very well, you'll be limited to tiny models with no coding ability and they'll be slow.
- armanj 5mo agoi assumed you're connected to internet and using codex/claude code
