Trying LLM in the air with a 6.200 EUR laptop... Sorry if it's not exactly relatable..
2 comments

one one hand, I'm typing this on a 5 year old M1 MBP that I still can't bring myself to replace because it just continues to do the things I need;

on the other hand, $6200 every few years is pretty tiny compared to a typical US developer salary, so is this really that crazy if it's your primary work machine?

You got downvoted, but my reaction was much the same honestly.
I don't mind being downvoted, if we all had the same opinion it would be quite boring around here. I guess I'm just jaded from AI news.
