> The CLR will easily take 10x more memory

CoreCLR itself doesn't take much memory - GC might decide on a large heap size however. Do give .NET 9 a try with Server GC which has enabled DATAS by default. It prioritizes smaller memory footprint much more heavily and uses a much more advanced tuning algorithm to balance out memory consumption, allocation throughput and % of time spent in GC.
4K gaming monitors do provide a reasonable middle-ground between "extremely fast but only 100-110ppi" and "extremely high res but only 60hz" now though. You can get 163ppi at 144hz without breaking the bank, which isn't quite retina by Apples definition, but it's good enough for me considering the benefit of high refresh rate.
It's in there but buried, I think it's really hard to overstate that Gen AI is Meta (and Amazon's and Apple's) opportunity to wrest search away from Google.
I have no idea why this comment was dead and I vouched for it.

Just recently the `sqlite3-rsync` tool was added to SQLite and it does point-in-time backup, effectively.
I suppose it was incorrect of me to say it hasn't "officially" launched then. But one would certainly seem to get that impression, considering it's missing major features (data table support?) isn't anywhere near feature parity with either WPF or winforms, and doesn't even have a visual editor (which should be table stakes for a modern 1.0 release from a company as large as Microsoft).
They're spending more on VR in 2024 than 2023. As much as it's laughed at, I believe VR/AR will be a big platform, it's still growing healthily. And it's pretty awesome, go try the Quest 3. Most importantly for Meta, they completely own VR at this point. There's so much hardware and software that needs to be developed in order to compete that I doubt anyone can do it at this point. Apple tried, but besides the high price the software is just not mature enough, it takes many years to develop all the necessary parts.
>Stack ranking Jack Welch-style is basically operating under the assumption that if you had Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, and Jeff Bezos on a team, that one of them would have to get a shitty grade and be fired.

no, it's not, you are wrong. It is based on the probability that you will not have all those outliers on one team, a probability that is very very high.

also, it's not used for teams of a dozen people where you can easily know everybody personally, it's used for teams of 1000 people, and Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, Steve Jobs, Larry Ellison, Elon Musk, Satya Nadella, and Jeff Bezos 'S jobs would all be safe (if they could get along with each other, which they couldn't, there'd be so much backstabbing productivity would grind to a halt :)
I'd love to see a list of the open standards they've embraced and killed. Your argument is on a weak foundation if it is based on Internet Explorer in the pre IE8 days (15+ years ago), or anything older than that.

Frankly, Microsoft hasn't had enough influence to kill any open standard since the height of their dominance in the early 2000s. They aren't that important. I mean, market forces made them adopt Chromium even.
Generally, to learn anything, you need a learning framework that focuses on

* structured detail - ie how things connect to other things. For example, when you use a list comprehension in python, what is the equivalent for loop syntax?

* differentiability - i.e what happens if you do something different. For example, if you don't close a file descriptor, what happens? If you use string instead of bytes, what happens?

If you try to learn with a "how to do stuff" approach, you end up with having an internal lookup map where you can't reason through code if the knowledge is not in the map.

So for prompts, asking the LLMs those style questions goes far.
Indeed. AIUI your head needs to be back, chin tucked in, which means looking down a bit. If you're looking level or up you're going to be sticking your head out a bit

IF you're ordering them in the context of a larger buying program like a university or other office you'd at least get some sort of account rep and Apple support as well. I'm not sure if you could get that from Beelink, could you? I see some benefit in that use case.

But that's aside from the main topic which was the personal and home use case. On that topic you get a decent set of products as well such as Pages/Numbers/etc. and others along with software support for the Mac Mini. I'm guessing the Beelink runs on Linux? That may be hard for some to work with (which is unfortunate since it's really not), or maybe they have to separately buy a Windows license? Something to consider in the comparison.
From my experience, TCO on most apple products ends up being roughly the same when you factor in resale value.

You'll be able to sell your M4 mac mini in 5 years for $150 for an instant-cash offer from backmarket or any other reseller, while you'd be lucky to get $30 for the equivalent Beelink or BOSGAME after 6 months on ebay.
So many well thought out words and almost none about product, users or the people who actually provide the asset being monetised.

The products they make are sugar and if you wean yourself off you find they’re not actually important to you. There may be a strong hold, but switch focus and it’s easily broken.

There’s vulnerability there just waiting to be exploited.
Something's seriously wrong with your system. I just launched nvim on mine and couldn't measurably detect the interval between hitting enter to exec the command and seeing the welcome screen. Even opening and immediately quitting my substantially customized Emacs took 1.7s.

Your setup should not be taking many seconds to do those routine things. Last time I experienced something like that, I had a dying harddrive that was logging a continual series of read timeouts.

You're proving GP's point about normalization of progress. It's been two years. We're still during the first iteration of applications of this new tech, advancements didn't have time yet to start compounding. This is barely getting started.

> I still think it's a meaningful reason for Rust's popularity, though, given that Swift isn't used much outside of the Apple ecosystem.

If this is a meaningful reason for popularity, why is the Rust the only popular one with it (aside from Swift's popularity within the Apple ecosystem)? Shouldn't we expect other languages, those which have been relegated to the non-mainstream (including Swift outside of the Apple ecosystem), with the same feature to also be popular?

I expect Rust is popular simply because it did well in its marketing. You can't go anywhere in tech circles without seeing an advertisement for it. Which plants the seed for when the next time someone is "I think I'll try a new language"; Rust is first in mind. Swift is a great language. It would be perfectly suitable option for someone to pick up as a new language technically, but since it is effectively never advertised outside of certain Apple developer-focused venues... Case in point: You didn't even think to think of it here, and understandably so.
Asking Americans to read a French name that is a homonym for “clod” may not be the best mass market decision.

My take is that WaPo has been exceptionally gentle with Trump, not at all holding him to the same standards they held Biden and Harris. From headline framing, to article vocabulary, to count of articles, fact checking, to associated photos, they've treated Trump quite hospitably.

Wild Horses is a song that the Rolling Stones wrote about not wanting to go on tour. "Wild Horses couldn't drag me away"

Slash from GnR 1985-1993 and again 2016-present hates to play big stadiums and prefers the usual suspects small venues in L.A. (Rainbow, Whiskey..) because in his words "you play in front of 70,000 people who know everything about you, but you know nothing about them, they all love you, they all want an autograph or a picture but nobody sees you as a human being, and you see all them starstuck and think they could never be my friends, my friends for real"
Well, I guess I'm extremely surprised, then. I don't care for that one bit.
Ask HN: How do you track your work contributions effectively?
I'm looking for better ways to track my work contributions and progress, both for my own reference and for communicating with my team/manager. Currently, I struggle with:

Remembering all the small but important contributions I make throughout the sprint/quarter Quantifying impact in meaningful ways Keeping track of indirect contributions (helping others, reviewing PRs, mentoring)

What systems/tools/methods have worked well for you? How granular do you get with tracking? And how do you present this information during performance reviews or 1:1s? Particularly interested in hearing from both ICs and managers about what they find most valuable in contribution tracking.
Thank you people for contributing to this free software ecosystem. Oh, you can't monetize your work? Your problem, not ours! Deals are made, but you, who provide your free code, we have zero monetization options for you on our github platform. Go pay for copilot which was trained on your data.

Name me a product that Tesla has sold that did not meet the spec advertised on the buy page with the price?

You can’t. What you can do is name cases where Tesla says they aspire to make “X” and er got “Y” by the time we could buy it.

The closest thing we have to what you describe is FSD or whatever they call it. And it was sold as hardware that would be used once they got it working.

The only gymnastics we have here is you trying to make a case for fraud. You are the one acting cult like, and yes it is infuriating to us who are not obsessed with Elon.

I don’t know dem own a Tesla product, and probably never will.

Furthermore my comment was completely disconnected from Tesla and was an attack on a style of thinking related to all companies. Then you who are obsessed with Elon brought all that baggage into it simply because you worried that a sound and logical comment might not align with your view of the person you are obsessed with.
You seem to think a lot of things that aren't security boundaries are security boundaries. There have been VM escapes too. VMs are not for running untrusted OS images you get from end users.

> there is no inferential gap between measures and their causes in mathematics, because there are no measures

That's not true. For example in researching prime numbers, mathematicians carry out simulations and produce observational results from those simulations, without having a fully-proven formal theory to support the results.
A missed opportunity though. If it’s USB-C powered, it could be even smaller and Apple could simplify its BOM by including a MacBook Pro charger with it.
If you have a 1440P 27" monitor, they work great.

"Vocal fry" is a term some people made up to sound fancy. Actual linguists call it what it is: creaky voice. And they don't denigrate it. Men do it just as much as women, and there is (of course) no correlation with intelligence.

It is a very lazy stereotype, and (of course) completely wrong, to associate "vocal fry" with "bimbos".

Where you have 3000% increase in income do you also have absolutely no regulation?

I don’t think you can just factor out the regulation, assign it none of the credit for how things turned out, and assign all the credit to unchecked capitalism.

Maybe the jungle is sensationalized, what was really happening roughly concurrently: Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire, homestead steel strike, Pullman strike, tenement housing, etc

I don’t think liberalism doesn’t work. I’m just responding to someone saying it’s “undeniable that heavy regulation and subsidization is the root of dysfunction and deterioration of most important aspects of life”.

Some regulations are bad, either intentionally or unintentionally, but a lot of regulation exists because the prior unregulated state was horrific.

I would second this! The N100 is super efficient., and can often be found for around $150. I can also recommend looking at used intel “NUC” mini PCs if you’re budget conscience.

Understanding something and optimizing it are not the same skill set. The author of the article seems to imply that even looking at a pipeline workflow is too daunting for developers, which is what I'm challenging. I personally am working on a horrendously slow pipeline right now, and I agree that it's frustrating to troubleshoot. But ignoring the problem is certainly not the solution - I've slowly but surely chipped away at various aspects and have a much better understanding of our CI/CD now.

In the words of Jake the Dog, "Sucking at something is the first step to getting good at something."
So getting users is the hard part. The tech behind this stuff has been quite easy and readily available for quite some time. You can leverage apis and clouds and such. I don’t know why you’d constrain yourself to whatever limitations were present 15 years ago. Truth is the day people started caring internet enabled gpses everywhere with them, this all got pretty easy from the technical side.

Ubers growth and scale and how rapidly they grew posed some problems I’m sure, but I doubt anyone in this space will ever experience that again. Definitely not what’s being discussed here.
I don't try to get others to use Linux anymore. "Anyone who isn't used to Linux" can keep doing whatever it is they're already doing. So long as we can use it, I'm happy. I care about Linux usage only as far as it makes it harder for companies to ignore or block us.

I agree that Ballmer was unfairly used as a punching bag, but MS today (both the good and bad) is all Nadella.
You're conflating three different things.

There's the question, "is an LLM just autocomplete"? The answer to that question is obviously no, but the question is also a strawman - people who actually use LLM's regularly do recognize that there is more to their capabilities than randomized pattern matching.

Separately, there's the question of "will LLM's become AGI and/or become super intelligent." Most people recognize that LLM's are not currently super intelligent, and that there currently isn't a clear path toward making them so. Still, many people seem to feel that we're on the verge of progress here, and feel very strongly that anyone who disagrees is an AI "doomer".

Then there's the question of "are we in an AI bubble"? This is more a matter of debate. Some would argue that if LLM reasoning capabilities plateau, people will stop investing in the technology. I actually don't agree with that view - I think there is a lot of economic value still yet to be realized in AI advancements - I don't think we're on the verge of some sort of AI winter, even if LLM's never become super intelligent.
Which is why if caught in a lightning storm you should crouch with feet together and why I try very hard to only use one hand when doing something that might have the potential to shock me.
Exactly. The 2016-2018 models were the low point, but Apple has listened and has improved since then.

The 2019 16” was a step in the right direction. More ports, better cooling, better keyboard.

The M1 Pro/Max line up brought back HDMI, MagSafe, SD card slots, and are seriously fast, quiet, & cool. The M2 and M3 releases have been iterative performance improvements and haven’t made any stupid decisions.

Apple’s also invested development effort into useful tooling for developers like their virtualisation framework - this has made Docker on Mac vastly more pleasant for instance.

I use a 50" 4K TV as my monitor. It's mounted on a long TV mount that can bend at 3 points, one near the wall, one near the TV and one in the middle. Gives me great freedom. One warning to people who want to do the same: make sure your mount has a way to rotate (around the screen's surface normal) the TV as the weight of it will make it sag.

We Built Trendly: A Solution for Timely and Trustworthy Insights
In a world flooded with information, finding accurate, relevant news feels like an endless battle. As a team passionate about delivering truth and clarity, we set out to build a news app that would cut through the noise and offer users fresh insights they could trust. That’s how Trendly was born—a Q&A-driven platform built for people who want more than headlines but less than a full read.

Our goal was simple: create a space where busy professionals, content creators, and avid learners could get relevant news without spending hours sifting through filler content.

The Problem We’re Solving

-Social Media Overload: Platforms like LinkedIn and X (formerly Twitter) are swamped with misinformation, ads, and irrelevant updates.

-Fragmented Sources: While many aggregators exist, they often lean toward quantity over quality, presenting every headline without context.

- Time Constraints: Even platforms like Feedly, which consolidate news, often rely on full-length articles that don’t fit into the daily routines of mobile users.

How Trendly Works

1.Personalized Feed: Trendly uses a machine-learning algorithm to curate a feed tailored to each user’s interests, focusing on AI, tech, business, and research topics. It’s designed to learn as you use it, continually refining its recommendations.

2. Point-Form Summaries: We developed a summarization model to break down articles into bite-sized, point-form content that can be read in under a minute. These summaries highlight the main insights, so users stay informed without wading through fluff.

3.Pre-generated Q&As: Trendly’s Q&A feature lets users dive deeper into complex topics without hunting for explanations. Each article summary includes questions and answers that anticipate what users might want to know next.

4.Trustworthy Sources: We prioritize credibility by sourcing from verified publications and applying AI-driven tools to detect potential misinformation before it reaches our users.

Why HN Readers Might Find Value in Trendly

If you’ve ever felt exhausted by the clutter on social media or overwhelmed by the sheer volume of information online, Trendly could be a refreshing change. We built it for professionals and content creators who want to stay updated on relevant topics without the extra noise.

What's next?

We’re excited about Trendly’s potential to transform how people consume timely content. We’re still in the early stages and are open to feedback. If you’re interested, we’d love for you to try Trendly and let us know how we can make it better.
