A cautionary note. Your Claude account is tied to your email address, and it cannot be changed. If you lose access to your email address (I sold the domain), you cannot access your Claude account any more, you cannot change the email address, you can't cancel it, and the billing continues.
This happened to me, so far two months without any progress with Claude support trying to resolve it. Chatbot support got no response, email support got a single response after a month saying it had been passed on to another team to resolve. Mostly just silence.
I too have an M1 Pro and it does everything I need to do. I bought it in 2023, so it's 'only' 3.5 years old now.
Maybe this is the tipping point where hardware companies can't rely on the upgrade cycle for sales any more. I've always upgraded at least every three years, but with the combination of high RAM prices and good enough performance from an older machine, there is no need to.
Absolutely! You could possibly develop a custom mapper that provides extra RAM (I guess memory bank switching would need to happen) plus the ROM but as far as I'm aware it's not available.
While I'm sure this was built for fun, you have to wonder if maybe some of these tools could be useful again. With the increased power of modern computers, and some additions of modern technology like a web UI, HTTP support for data access, and the not-needed-in-the-past-but-essential-now security.
We could be entering a new age of building our own tools, llm assisted of course, but still a lot of fun.
I've been through similar, don't give up trying to find a solution. I've recently found what mine is, and am doing much better now. Everyone is different, be careful with advice on the internet, but at the least it gives you ideas for further investigation. For me it was elevated homocysteine, with a genetic origin. I could get an analysis by uploading my genome to Genetic Genie, but ultimately the homocysteine test was the proof.
I had elevated homocysteine, treated it (MTHFR gene, therefore methylated B12 / folate, etc), and that had zero effect on my sleep quality, unfortunately.
Tried B6, every variation of magnesium (including threonate), all the typical sleep hygiene stuff.. nothing mattered.
I tried clover. Eventually it just got replaced more and more with grass, now there's not much there. It was meant to be more drought tolerant than grass, but it didn't work out that way. I probably need to do more research.
It really does depend on the thickness of the photo emulsion and the print ink. I've done silk screen prints where 20 prints were managed with little detail loss. The thing with the silk screens is that as a woven cloth, it's prone to slightly stretching with each pass of the ink, so the emulsion gets thin in spots rather quickly.
I would imagine that on the big industrial printers that are using a metal mesh screen and thicker emulsion, it's maybe closer to 50? Usually in a print shop doing a big run, there'll be four or five screens made for each print layer so when one gets worn, it's replaced in the printing rack. It really is an artform.
This seems very low. I have not worked in professional screenprinting environments, but all resources I have seen indicate potential for hundreds or thousands of high quality prints from a well prepared screen.
Years and year ago, I worked in a sign makers and helped out with screen printing on occasion. Screens can last a very long time provided they are created corrected. From memory there were at least 200+ prints from a single screen - I think they may have been t-shirts or tote bags.
