Off topic: Would first like to say, Nick, I really appreciate your non stop effort to share your perspectives on code / app development and now AI. Thank you!

Hardware: Been looking for new gear and I thought perhaps Macbooks would be a consideration for some, due to experience with it (I don't have it).

Price: I also noticed that the pricing of Macbook M1 Pro / 32GB is dropping significantly (800 USD some places). 204 GB/s memory bandwidth. Thunderbolt / USB inter comms possible. And this might allow for an alternative path to clustering vs using an ASUS / Tensorbook / etc.

But then again, I may be over my head in thinking that Macbooks are as good as RTX #### gpu's. So I'll leave it at that for now.
