Ergodox has a design where the keyboard can sit on 3 adjustable legs, and you can get both a downward angle and tenting out of that.

The downside is that you really need to get your desk way low for your arms to naturally "droop" down over that. I have a motorized sit-stand desk I bought specifically after comparing specs on how low the desk surface can go, and the position that's low enough while seated is basically as low as my knees will let it go. A separate keyboard tray would be great but they rarely have room for the footprint and height of a tented keyboard with a touchpad in the middle.

Standing up, it's a lot easier to find a good height.

> It also supports up to 2TB of eight-channel ECC DDR4 memory at 3200 MHz (sic) to help efficiently run and multitask demanding applications.

8 channels at 3200 MT/s (1600 MHz) is only 204.8 GB/sec; less than a quarter of what the M3 Ultra can do. It's also not GPU-addressable, meaning it's not actually unified memory at all.
Also have an M2. I don't have any issues running multiple web servers, running vite builds etc. Usually 20 tabs open and Affinity Photo or something as well.

No complaints whatsoever.
Yeah, while I don't mind MagSafe, I'd 100% want an extra USB-C port instead.
High-Level Overview
Analyzing lengthy financial documents like SEC filings (10-K, 10-Q, 8-K, etc.) and earnings call transcripts is a time-consuming challenge for fintech professionals. Vector search offers a smarter way to sift through these texts by representing documents and queries as high-dimensional vectors that capture semantic meaning. Unlike traditional keyword search, which only matches exact words, vector search retrieves information based on context and intent (How to deploy NLP: Text embeddings and vector search - Elasticsearch Labs). For example, a keyword search for “Apple stock” might return recipe articles about fruit, whereas a vector search understands you mean the company and brings back finance-related content (Exploring Vector Search: Advantages and Disadvantages - Enterprise Knowledge). This semantic approach means you can find relevant insights even if the exact terms don't appear, dramatically improving the speed and accuracy of research.

In tandem, AI copilots (powered by large language models, or LLMs) act as intelligent research assistants. An AI copilot can parse complex financial language, perform calculations, and answer questions in plain English. Integrating a copilot with vector search turns document analysis into a conversational experience. For instance, Boardroom Alpha’s Analyst Copilot lets users ask complex questions about a company’s filings and instantly get summaries, numbers, and red flags extracted from those documents (BA Analyst Copilot - Accelerated Insights from SEC Filings – Boardroom Alpha Help). The copilot uses an LLM to read the retrieved text and highlight insights like changes in risk factors or details about executive compensation. This synergy of vector search and AI enables natural language querying of financial reports – you can ask “What were the main growth drivers this quarter?” and get a direct answer with supporting context, instead of manually hunting through pages of filings.

I don't want innovation on Macbook hardware. It's perfectly good as it is.

The only thing I'd want is something that'd make it last even longer like waterproofing the top keyboard layer.
People with iPhones do. If you type a double hyphen on iOS — it is replaced with an em dash. Three periods also become an ellipsis…
Ignore my other reply, for some reason I was sure you were commenting in a different thread and couldn't see context.

Your experience disagrees, that's fine, but could you give some examples? What exactly would take weeks to migrate? Certainly not extensions and settings or bookmarks, so what would? It's not a question of belief when we have empirical evidence to work with.
That's nice but there's still no reason to talk about things that reproduce and the origins of the building blocks of things that reproduce using the same word. Might as well say both the grocery store and the celery you bought are both stew. Or that shopping is cooking.
Ah, if we can have the hardware and the freedom of installing a good Linux repo on top of it. How is Asahi? Is it good enough? I assume, that since Asahi is focused on Apple hardware, it should have an easier time figuring out drivers and etc?

Most likely because the 64GB NAND chips cost more than the 128GB ones at this point to make, to apple's disappointment.
This whole branch of research seems to rely on the weird idea that the cloud industry is not already transparent, so we have to take seriously these erroneous estimates by outside researchers. Which is weird, since literally no other industry on Earth is as transparent about energy consumption as cloud providers. This article for example oddly claims that data center cooling is a big mystery term in their equations, yet Google and Facebook have engaged in a public competition to outdo each other in PUE and have published detailed annual PUE metrics for years.

I, for one, think we should take the first-party claims of energy consumption at face value. I don't know why these researchers are entrenched in the idea that we have to estimate it instead. Strubell, one of the researchers in the article, was fired by Google for insisting on using an outside estimate instead of the exact first-party data to which they had privileged access. Why is it their inclination to overstate energy usage, or make it sound uncertain?
> We’re animals and have more in common with other species than we have uniqueness.

Our bodies are definitely mammalian, and therefore most of our instinctive behaviors, but it's the differences that make us unique.

We have the capacity for abstract conception with its reasoning and communication and advanced tool building. More than that, however, we have a moral compass and mind to learn and understand the difference between compassion and selfishness, good and evil -- and then we have the free will to choose between those potentials.

Animals only have instinctive self-protection. Only we have the responsibility to be caretakers of each other and the Earth, herself, and all its wonderful creatures.
Terminology is never standardized. Language doesn't work like that. How, exactly, does one manage to exist in this world and not know that...?

However, outside of the Java world, which flips the terms around for some reason, this seems to be the prevailing usage. It is also the only usage that makes sense based on what seems to be the prevailing understanding of what "error" and "exceptional" mean. Java's "exceptional conditions" being the ones that you expect to happen regularly doesn't make sense, but was presumably an accident in naming that just so managed to stick.

Of course, confusion is compounded by some language idioms using exception handling constructs to handle errors.

I don't believe he was implying anything about either set of data, only pointing out that this is the ADP data and the BLS data should be released shortly.

But, I'm with you, there is little reason to trust any official government numbers right now. I don't know how much DOGE has infiltrated BLS, but I'm not giving them the benefit of the doubt given what's happened across other agencies.
Top comment is a one sided political one...what happened to HN? :(

Maybe it's always been this politically one sided and I just hadn't noticed until now, I just always saw it as a place for cool tech and real discussions. But now I'm noticing liberal comments are incentivized and anything remotely non liberal (like this one) are flagged into oblivion. I guess this means I should probably spend less time in comment sections, content just seems skewed now.
I suspect we might move to some sort of cipher that uses the AES round function but isn't full AES, like AEGIS, for performance benefits. Same permutation, but arguably a different primitive. That move won't be because AES got broken though, it'd be because AES wasn't as fast as desired.
Another one on the long list of the Trump admins bullying their allies.

Note: Ukraine has joined every NATO mission since 1994 under 'NATO's Partnership for Peace' ( including when the US invoked article 5 on 9/11)

Note 2: Let's just hope this is just disinformation to sow further distrust. We'll hear the truth from Ukraine how it is, can't trust anyone of the US government under Trump atm.
> Apple is marketing to people who have devices that are old, because they are old.

It still makes claims like that arbitrary and meaningless. What does "23x faster" even mean, it's not like there are that many people who are upgrading from an Intel MBA yet are also fulltime Cinebench/etc. testers.

> It's fair to compare

Well yes. It's reasonably fair (realistically its not like any of those people this is targeted at would feel a difference between 10x, 15x or 30x) and obviously smart.

> He didn't start Tesla, he joined as an investor.

Yeah, and then he took it over, and transformed it from a fledgling garage based company with near 0 market penetration into a serious competitor in the international automobile market, defying all the odds, keeping it alive when it should have gone bankrupt many times. I don't think a typical person who happens to have money is going to take on Ford, GM, Toyota and win the early EV game.

I don't doubt that he has gotten wildly lucky many times, but I do doubt that there isn't something special there. I could get lucky many times...I'm not taking over industries beating Toyota, beating NASA, no matter how lucky I am. I don't have the vision, I don't have the drive, I don't have the obsessive focus that is sometimes necessary, I don't have the capital allocation skill, etc.

>but I don't think it makes sense at all to characterize it as a usability improvement on email.

Chats in general (not WhatsApp specifically) have "better" usability than email for some people because:

+ chats skipp the extra keystrokes of email workflow such as "Compose new email" and then enter an extra "Subject:" line which makes normal people put useless things in there such as "a quick question..." and then put the real conversation in the email body. It's a bunch of extra friction for no reason when communicating informally between friends & family.

+ chat ids such as phone numbers are not given out as freely as email addresses which makes chats have less spam and clutter and more easily isolated to personal communications. Email inboxes are clogged up with a bunch of non-chat mails like shipment notifications from Amazon.

I actually prefer email comms and have told my family to send me emails instead of text chats because I'm always at my desk and can use my full keyboard to type out a reply -- but -- they ignore me and always just send text chats. Normal people have a mental model that's geared toward text chats.

E.g. I saw my aunt again 30 years after she last saw me and one of the first things she asked was "What's your phone #? I want to send you a photo when you were little." And because I received her text, I now have my aunt's phone # in my Contacts app. But I don't have her email address. She never gave it to me; and I never asked for it.

Exchanging phone #s is the natural thing to do between friends & family. On the other hand, exchanging emails is often more natural when interacting in business settings or dealing with people at arms length.
While I don't think Apple wants to change course from its services-oriented profit model, surely someone within Apple has run the calculations for a server-oriented M3/M4 device. They're not far behind server CPUs in terms of performance while running a lot cooler AND having accelerated amd64 support, which Ampere lacks.

Whatever the profit margin on an iMac Studio is these days, surely improving non-consumer options becomes profitable at some point if you start selling them by the thousands to data centers.

Huh, won't users just blame the printer for that?
The 2011 Intel macbook air I used when visiting home throughout college was downright _dangerous_ on a lap, but performed so much better than my Atom-based Aspire One that I felt compelled to learn to tolerate OSX, as a longtime Linux nerd.

I eventually got the M1 Air for serious ocaml and rust development and found it would get quite toasty (tho never concerning) during big compile/test cycles, but generally only over several dozen seconds of full load.

I upgraded to a 14” pro with an M2 Max and am reasonably happy with it and think it was an important upgrade for my productivity. In daily use, fans kick in rarely but when needed for a speciality job like TLA model checking, they can reject a lot of heat (= performance margin). Of course it would be nice if it weighed less (mine is 1.8kg after including a case), but as a side benefit the machine can play games (even emulated x86 ones inside Parallels!) so it’s hard to say I’m worse off than my previous status quo of VSCode remoting into my big Linux desktop :)

Since the M series of ARM processors didn’t come out until 2020, that would make a lot of sense.
The case centers on who has the authority to interpret the terms of an open-source license:

1.The software developers who adopt licenses like GPLv3, MIT, or Apache 2.0 for their projects

OR

2. The original authors of those licenses (FSF, Apache Foundation, etc)

If the appeal fails to overturn the flawed lower court ruling, it will set a precedent allowing legal cases to focus on how software developers themselves interpret the terms of licenses like GPLv3, MIT,Apache 2.0, etc.

This is precisely what happened with Neo4j.

This issue is significant enough that two of the leading open-source foundations submitted amicus briefs in the case.

I think Neo4j knows it is wrong after this latest Amicus and they have the power to stop this in its tracks by simply settling the case before the ninth circuit makes a ruling which will be precedent.

Pretty crazy situation!
deep search is the new RAG
It took them awhile to developed their ultra chip and this is what they had ready? I’m sure they are working on the M4 ultra, but they are just slow at it.

I bought a refubished M3 max to run LLMs (can only go up to 70b with 4 bit quant), and it is only slightly slower than the more expensive M4 max.

Isn't the Mac Studio the new trash can? I can't think of how a non-expandable Mac Pro could be meaningfully different to the Studio unless they introduce an even bigger chip above the Ultra.
This is more about "average" end user software, not the type of software that would be running on a machine like this. Yes their applications fell off, but if you're paying for 512gb of RAM apple notes being slow isn't the bottleneck

> How is Asahi?

For M3 and M4 machines, hardware support is pretty derilict: https://asahilinux.org/docs/M3-Series-Feature-Support/
A 2018 MacBook would be an intel x86 chip. It’s incredibly easy to get Linux running on that machine.
I don't think API has any value because writing software is free and hardware for ML is super expensive.
You're comparing two different things.

The compute level you’re talking about on the M3 Ultra is the neural engine. Not including the GPU.

I expect the GPU here will be behind a 5090 for compute but not by the unrelated numbers you’re quoting. After all, the 5090 alone is multiple times the wattage of this SoC.
Do you have an actual point, or are you just here to troll?

If you disagree with the points in the article, please state them.
All of this is true, but it's not the main reason why EVs have taken off. Electricity generation is very flexible. You can use coal, gas, oil, nuclear, solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, and so on. Every country has something.

However, not every country has oil or gas. In fact, only a minority does. China is investing in EVs to avoid being dependent on energy imports. Many other countries are following. Russia and the US being laggards in EV adoption isn't really surprising.
At his level it is much more than just being able to do what he wants, it’s about attracting resources and talent to accomplish his goals.

From that perspective location still matters if you want to maximise impact

Show HN: FeedForge – Get RSS updates when specific parts of any webpage change
I built FeedForge to solve a frustrating problem I often encountered: many interesting blogs and websites I enjoy lack RSS feeds, the same goes for many local government agencies where I live (though they have Instagram/X/TikTok profiles...)

What started as a personal tool evolved into something more versatile.

FeedForge generates RSS feeds for any website, with XPath/CSS selector support to monitor specific page elements. No more checking sites manually for updates - just point FeedForge at the URL (and optionally target a specific DOM element), and get an RSS feed you can plug into your reader.

Note: Some websites with anti-bot protection may not work at this time.

Is this actually true? Were people doing this with the 192gb of the M2 Ultra?

I'm curious to learn how AI shops are actually doing model development if anyone has experience there. What I imagined was: Its all in the "cloud" (or, their own infra), and the local machine doesn't matter. If it did matter, the nvidia software stack is too important, especially given that a 512gb M3 Ultra config costs $10,000+.

The geometric product works in any dimensions. They have a clear geometric intepretation. Rotations and translations can done using the same algebraic operations.
agreed, which is awesome, the only thing that worries me is that they will drop support for it earlier than they have to when they want to force people to upgrade eventually. I hope to get 10 years out of my M1

True, I guess they do want to push iCloud. I just can't justify the pricing. Comparing the 15" to System 76, I get a bigger screen, TWO 2TB M.2 drives, and 64 GB RAM for $150 cheaper than a 15" with one 1TB drive and 32GB RAM. And the System 76 comes with a bunch of ports, too.

> Because Marxist idea are bad. That communism and all ways to get their lead to mass slaughter SHOULD taint his ideas.

I think the issue with Marx is he was an excellent analyst of the status quo. Then he got carried away by that into thinking he could also solve all the issues. He couldn't (also he wrote the manifesto while young and later regretted it), but that does not mean his analysis is all bad (it's not) and all solutions inspired by his ideas are wrong (they aren't).

> The idea of democracy does not depend on any way on the ideas of communism and socialism

I'm afraid it does. Or maybe at least the execution, if not the idea: There is currently no democracy on earth that is not at least a little bit socialist. And the same is true for nationalism.
This is an unfortunate generalization. For anyone under about 35, memes seem to be a useful communication tool in general, that's just how it works these days.

Always fun to see these old media write meme articles and use memes 5+ years old.
> So if someone wants to buy Apple hardware to run Linux, it does not have a negative affect to AAPL

It does. Support costs. How do you prove it's a hardware failure or software? What should they do? Say it "unofficially" supports Linux? People would still try to get support. Eventually they'd have to test it themselves etc.
