M4 Mac mini cluster saving thousands per month
Sure! - M4 Pro chip with 14‑core CPU, 20‑core GPU, 16-core Neural Engine- 64 GB unified memory (probably could have gotten away with 48)- 1 TB SSD storage (probably could have gotten away with 512)- Gigabit Ethernet Price: $2,399 new Last 1 week energy usage: 908Wh @ $0.35/kWh = $16.53 per year in e

Thoughts on Clawboxes???
Open claw runs on a $70 raspberry pi. You don't need a Mac mini m4 for that. If you want to run 8b or 16b parameter LLM locally that's when you need a Mac mini m4 with descent RAM

M4 Pro Mini
I’m jealous!! I got the base M4 Pro Mac Mini last year and I love it. But to have 64GB RAM and 2TB storage would be awesome!! And especially not having to pay the vary large price for that config. Nice!

why i chose the m4 mac mini
Im about to trade my M1pro MBP 16GB/1TB for an M4 24GB/2TB Mac Mini, i almost always use external displays anyways, and i think is a great device.

I wanted OpenClaw to work. After 3 months, I’m done.
M4 Mac mini has crazy value for the price, you can get a silent device thats extremely power efficient with a m4 chip and 16gb of unified memory for £500, nothing at that price point can compete

M4 32gb 512gb or M4 pro 24gb 512gb
Pro has much faster RAM AND SSD .. NO EXTERNAL DRIVE WILL READ/WRITE FASTER THAN AN INTERNAL SSD as internal SSD is used in most if not all regular writes/reads. In a Mac, file caching occurs in both RAM and on the SSD. 256 GB SSD writes at 1,500-2,000 MB/s. It will constrain effective speed of USB4

Just wondered whether i should get a new Neo or buy a refurbished pro retina for £400?
No. Do not buy an 8GB RAM MacBook Neo for Logic Pro. But unless it has more than 16GB RAM do not buy Intel MacBook Pro either. If you plan to dual boot Windows for any reason…. Maybe. I would rather just buy a refurb Mac Mini M4 instead

Does anyone know if Apple is actually planning to better optimize its use of Apple Silicon cores in Logic Pro ?
It’s pretty optimized, I’m not sure what you mean here. Audio processing isn’t always best handled by parallel processing on multiple cores. It’s critical when recording audio that everything happens sequentially and single cores do that more reliably. RAM is going to be the thing that makes the dif

Apple not having good AI and making more AI money than AI companies
Yes. On several levels. Comparing two laptops obtained at the same time and price point:My MacBook Pro M4 Pro can outperform a similarly capable Lenovo that cost significantly more.MBP has 6-8x the battery life doing similar tasksMBP RAM can be used as VRAM while PC needs both separately (one of the

If you could build a dream computer for running Zbrush what kind of specs/ hardware would you want? Also, what are your thoughts on graphics tablets vs other UI tools?
Since Zbrush doesn't use the GPU for any program functions (e.g. sculpting, dynamesh, geometry calculations), it benefits from fast single-core CPU performance. Rendering and some other functions are multi-threaded on the CPU (or GPU if using Redshift), so having good multicore performance is also h
