nine Won't replace spesh, but may be a candidate for JIT 06:56
lizmat does Apple Silicon fall under AArch64 ? 08:59
AI says so 09:00
xiaomiao most of the new stuff, yes 09:01
lizmat nice... I mean, rakudo is already faster on apple silicon than Intel, now imagine that with a JIT :-)
.oO( Some people, when confronted with a performance problem, think "I know, I'll use a JIT." Now they have two problems. :-)
09:02
xiaomiao if only apple made useful hardware ;) (I have not enjoyed interacting with their notebooks, and the tech demo OS that comes preinstalled is also ... sigh) 09:05
lizmat so what type of hardware do you use xiaomiao ? 09:08
xiaomiao I'm kinda stuck on old ThinkPads
no one wants to produce business-class notebooks anymore 09:09
lizmat fwiw, my current MBP feels pretty business class to me, though :-)
xiaomiao I've had a few from $work 09:10
between the sad battery range and the lack of sanity I've never managed to do more than tolerate them
(Lenovo X270 has 95Wh battery, it's a bit of a cheat code :) ) 09:11
lizmat I'm more interested in the "N hours without power in normal usage" metric :-) 09:13
xiaomiao I get 16h+ 09:15
lizmat nice!
xiaomiao M2 macbook was closer to 6 in my experience, luckily I got rid of that thing
it's horrible as a laptop because it uses your legs as heatsink, so you will carry a book as insulation ... sigh 09:16
lizmat ah, interesting... my M4max remains pretty cool in normal usage... I haven't had it put on its fans yet 09:18
xiaomiao yes that's the problem ;) it's using the whole body as heatsink 09:22
also fun because it's a wlan filter, so wlan range of macbooks is objectively atrocious
but it's a nice room decoration 09:23
lizmat it is :-)
