Worth checking out Apple refurbs if you're looking to buy into the cult of redundancy.
That being said, you have to hunt the options to find one with the right specs. Most Apple users aren't buying the top specs with 1TB hard drives, sadly.
How an M3 Max's GPU compares to an A5000 is entirely dependent on your use-cases.
I think this is like a somewhere near top of the line laptop
ThinkPad P16 Gen 2 for $7104.42 (skimping on the memory, as only 64 GB instead of 128GB)

I won't be getting that any time soon, but worth taking a look at the spec differences on just the CPU from what I'm using now for my dev work

At this price it's like why even be dedicated to laptop form factor? HP G2 mini server with A2000 is like half of the price of this. Small form factor desktop builds with any parts and even custom loop cooling are less than this. So many things cost less than this.
At this price point for a laptop I would unironically pick the M3 Max again, unbinned, 128Gb.
I call this year, the year of rejection. My art has been rejected 113 times by galeries, art constest and art faires 😒 still not giving up though. The journey continues

These remind me of live backgrounds for mobile devices. Maybe you could license them to an app that sells packs of them to users?
They are great at accomplishing simple tasks within the confines of their training material.
Super great at text conversion or syntaxing.
Agree with the "LLMs not AI" comment
There is no escaping the individual management of a user's follow list. While I agree with you, there are two problems at hand that are not entirely solved by community lists.
We need both.
That would be the goal. I'm not entirely sure if it can be done in the way I suggest. I wish I could be more valuable in this regard. Personally I think any social media should enable the user to manage multiple friend groups. This is more difficult on Nostr than on a centralized platform but it seems very basic compared to some of the accomplishments we've already seen.
Look up an app called WorkFlowy to visualize a nested list
That is in many ways the goal. It's a question of "which level of the protocol will control the lists of communities and, in turn, create nested lists of them."
As of now, one can create an application that nests NIP-51 lists. I believe there is value in doing so, but it's a question of how it benefits the application, or a question of what application you are trying to build (with nested lists).
I envision giving users the ability to create nested lists of communities that can scale to become national or global communities. It's a question of how, though.
Reduce, reuse, recycle.
In other words, minimize the amount of people you follow on non-Nostr networks.
Maintain those channels but consider removing them from home screens or bookmarks to encourage a mental commitment to using those applications.
Try tagging those people in some posts, or commenting on their posts, and perhaps they will also find a reason to use Nostr.
The major proposal of another token being added to Nostr is "in what way does the addition benefit every user?" and in that regard Bitcoin remains unchallenged.
However, if Nostr were to grow more, it would be natural for Ethereum to follow. From there it is a question of which DeFi solutions empower the Nostr ecosystem.
While most Nostr users aren't interested in Ordinals or Bitcoin Layer-2 solutions, it doesn't mean there won't eventually become overlap between those communities and Nostr.
Ethereum will work the same way. When people reach consensus that a specific utility is worth bringing to the Nostr ecosystem, there isn't much reason (and often no way) to stop them.
Idk dick about Solana personally, but I can easily see a future which ties npubs to Ethereum. It's just a matter of how it benefits users on clients that haven't even been built yet.
What about a client that just aggregates our entire follow list with a command like @followers?
"If you can't handle the heat, get out of the kitchen."
That being said, Bitcoiners should welcome new growth, even if it isn't the networks they want. Some things exist simply as a proof of concept. I would ask, what can be learned from a Solana+Nostr ecosystem?

In light of recent Hellthreads, I am curious if people have suggested the ability to tag one's entire follow list. Amethyst allows copying of @taggednames which converts to @npubs which is currently one of the most effective ways to copy and paste groups of @npubs on mobile. Is there any client that allows for an @follows type of command? Is there any reason Amethyst or other clients would want to avoid implementing this feature? Someone mentioned to me that it would be easily abusable by bots, but a user would have to follow the bot for them to be tagged. So I don't see why not.
I wondered, would it lead to everyone posting with @everyone or @follows to increase traction? Maybe, but I think only to an extent. What it would allow for me to do personally is determine whether or not I want my followers to be notified of a post I make. Which seems rather useful when polling. But plenty of notes aren't meant for everyone directly, so I don't see much way or means to abuse it that can't be solved by unfollowing or muting.
As of now, mass adoption of this feature would create a second sort of feed within one's notifications. i.e. "The posts in my global feed contain every note posted since I last checked. The posts in my notifications are more demanding of my response or interest."
Curious if this has been talked about somewhere.
Enough to make Twitter file for bankruptcy, I'd assume.
