I'm running an M3 on an Air with just 16GB. I can still get useful results without an internet connection in "chat mode". It's a different experience than using Claude, for sure, but it's workable. I typically use the Qwen variants these days.
This might be useful when ‘coding in chat mode’: I have a few scripts that I run in a project directory that takes a prompt from me, and creates a single long one-shot prompt that I can paste into a chat window and ask that any generating code is inside markdown code blocks for easier copy/pasting. Also, pardon the plug, but you can read my new tiny book free online that documents my experiences using agentic coding on my 16G Mac and my 32G Mac: https://leanpub.com/read/local-coding-agents
A contractor showed me how to fix dents in granite with superglue. It’s totally clear. The trick is to scrape it with a razor blade at a 90 degree angle (strait horizontal). The imperfections become nearly invisible.
I've been told this is a cheap way to fix small windshield cracks. Never tried it but sounds like it would work for the small spider sized and shaped cracks from small rock impacts.
This is basically what the glass repair kits sold at auto parts stores are. (They also include a suction cup with syringe, to vacuum any air bubbles out.)
I like to create little businesses. Most of them are unsuccessful.
I tried to get a bit of business liability insurance, including E&O for this, but it’s proven to be somewhat difficult:
I do too many things.
I design and sell 3D printed plastic parts, write books, publish a blog, and publish software.
I’ve tried this like three times (it’s time consuming).
Last time I decided to stick with just digital assets and I put “software development” but listed my blog and books, figuring most software companies run forums, publish guides, and blog.
They declined because they don’t cover “publishers”.
I guess you need to buy insurance for each division or something.
I was just looking for some general business liability and E&O while I figure out what works.
I wrote How to Lose Money with 25-Years of Failed Businesses about some of my tries over the years.
I like to create little business try’s. Most of them are wildly unsuccessful. I tried to get a bit of business liability insurance, including E&O for this.
Why?

The boat itself rocks, but do you see the background changing to indicate the boat is progressing through the environment? I only see that in the 3.1 Pro example. I believe that's what the OP meant.
I think this illustrates the problem with OP's prompt. If the goal is specifically to implement a scrolling background, this should have been in the prompt.
I think this is why signed commits are also supported. My first thought was that this probably doesn’t work with signed commits. But, maybe it does since they are listed as the commiter.
