I bought my first PC around 1996. It had a 850 MB hard drive from WD which costed $100 or less. Probably around the same time you upgraded to 1 GB.

The whole idea of Artemis is to build up new technologies that would expand our capabilities. Artemis 3 is kept simple and I don't have a strong opinion about this, but it tests the hardware that allows brining to the Moon dozens of pe

They are talking about iPad Pro as the primary example of M4 devices. But iPads don't really seem to be limited by performance. Nobody I know compiles Chrome or does 3D renders on an iPad.

I find the ML completion used in Google codebase very useful. It knows the APIs that I'm going to use better than I do, and it also can infer how exactly I'm going to use them. So in my experience, it does make me more productive
