Why is the host talking about a new computer and saying goodbye to the Mac Pro?
What are you talking to us through right now?
Oh uh yeah. So uh if you've noticed that the uh the tone of my voice is colder and not as warm as it used to be. That's the sound of an ARM CPU. Intel just had that extra That extra warmth. Extra soul that's just just missing from these modern ARM CPUs. All
right. Well, I am I'm
excited for you. I'm on my new computer. Uh if this recording goes wrong, you know, um what the last one I just realized the the big Mac Pro that's still sitting next to me, I had for more than half of the life of the show. For like six months. Is that right? I think so, right?
Wow. I I mean that sounds right, yeah.
Um and it is uh served me well during those seven years, but uh my microphone is now plugged into a new computer.
Oh. We're gonna talk about this more later. I
this is the saddest sound of you getting a new computer I've ever heard. Like I know, right? Just a tied me over computer. I know, but like it's also a huge upgrade. Like are you able are you able to like feel happy about this? Do you enjoy it? Does it feel fast? Does it feel good?
Oh yeah, no, I'm w I mean the whole I I'll talk about it when we get to our all our new products, but the whole household is happy because now I no longer need to hog my wife's computer to do dev work. And so everybody there is much happiness in the house about this.
She bought it for you
here, please. Yes.
Well, I'm very excited for you. Uh, when you had told us in Slack, I don't know, a day or two back that you were starting your migration, which we will talk about later in the show, uh, Marco and I, our immediate reaction was it's the end of an era. And again, as much as I poke fun at you, John, I know how much you love that computer. And uh it it pains me to be serious and to be kind with you about this because I love making fun of you for it so much. But I know how much you loved the tower. Mac Pro, and I know how sad you are that you do not have a spiritual replacement, or maybe at best you do have a spiritual replacement, but certainly not a more literal replacement. And so uh it did serve you well.
It was very expensive, but you got a lot of use out of it. And I am sad, I am genuinely sad for your loss. Although I'm excited for you to join, what is it, five years ago, six years ago, whatever it was. Uh so I'm I'm happy for you, even if you sound It is still September as we record this. There's a bit of September left. And actually, this month, believe it or not, or this year, September actually goes into October. And we're going to talk about that in a second. But September is Childhood Cancer Awareness Month. And that means it is time for ATP to work in concert with Relay and with St. Jude Children's Research Hospital to try to raise money for St. Jude. Uh St. Jude, I hope by now you're familiar. But like I said, they're a children's research hospital and they do incredible, incredible work to try to meet their mission of no child dying in the dawn of their life.
And generally speaking, that relates to childhood cancer, but it's not exclusively cancer. They do all sorts of absolutely banana stuff. And um, one of the many things that they offered for us to talk about, although we could say whatever we want. Well, one of one of the things they offered was that uh St. Jude has produced 18 of the world's most highly cited scientists in November 2025. The 2025 list of highly cited researchers recognized 18 St. Jude scientists as among the world's most impactful, the most in St. Jude history. These researchers authored multiple scientific papers ranging in the top or excuse me, ranking in the top one part 1% by citations for their fields for roughly 10 years. This is a small example of how
I know we have a very international audience and I'm very glad for that. But it would be a reasonable conclusion to say, oh, well, St. Jude is in America and their healthcare system is barely a system, which yes and yes, but why does that help me, says the person not in America? Well, it's for things like this. It's because their research, the research done at St.
