   Good question. Unfortunately, I'm just a keyboard warrior asshole that bad mouths things without offering solutions

    There are lots of other laptops that have 120Hz+ refresh rates and have the massive benefit of not being stuck with MacOS

    There are so many ports that would be far more useful than MagSafe at a similar hardware cost

    I have the same. I would much rather have a different port, like USB-A, than something I have never used

    I don't like my M1. It's really good for using Lightroom at the coffee shop, but absolutely sucks for developing software

    Good thing there are many simpler metrics, like chebyshev distance, for example

    Cosine similarly is the epitome of status quo bias. How many DS or ML people actually think through similarity metrics that might be appropriate, then choose cosine? Gods forbid they have to justify using a different measure to their collea
