Co-ops are one option to be sure. There are many successful co-ops, though usually in industries that don’t require huge startup capital.

The idea that billionaire returns are required for motivation is laughable. 99% of people are similarly motivated by a $10M return as a $1B return. The point is not necessarily to rid ourselves of capitalism entirely (though that’s logically the optimal outcome in the long run, since by definition capitalism’s optimization function is independent from socially or even individually desired outcomes), but rather to bring compensation disparity down to a reasonable level. I’d recommend targeting a GINI of .3 to start, if you want to put a number on things.

Nobody asked of course, but still, I will just put it here, lol:

Like 2 or 3 months ago I switched from Fedora to EndeavourOS, mixed with Debian-based Docker images for development, and it's like a brand new world. It has sane, not too opinionated defaults, Nvidia drivers are always working (and also up to date), AUR has a lot of things (okay, they are sometimes broken, but I can just build that from source).

I'm quite confident that this will stay my goto setup for the foreseeable future, until they break it somehow...
It literally does come out cheaper. It’s referred to as the LCOE - you can look at the data yourself
Multiple bank accounts and multiple credit cards. Also, figuring out the time range for each bank.
Yeah they did? The M4 has a max memory bandwidth of 546GBps, the M3 Ultra bumps that up to a max of 819GBps.

(and the 512GB version is $4,000 more rather than $10,000 - that's still worth mocking, but it's nowhere near as much)

At least his Twitter profile no longer has the bitcoin-meme-red-eyes thing.
Well then, it's a good thing I didn't say anywhere that they should be exempt from criticism. Incidentally, it's not something I believe. But I do think they are still doing a much better job at naming than other CPU manufacturers, despite the obnoxious Pro/Max/Ultra stuff.

I suppose I commented here because I think people are letting their subjective distaste for those terms sway their opinion of a superior naming scheme.
Maybe it's time for frame.work to start making printers. Probably a fantastic bump to their brand if they're the only non-crap printer vendor.
Show HN: InstaRizz – A silly app for making realistic selfies
I made a web app where you can upload a single selfie and generate an AI twin that looks (almost) exactly like you.

The good

- No subscription. $5 flat gets you over 100 images.

- I'm not training a model on your face or saving any of your uploaded photos.

- Generations take under 3 minutes.

- The good images look almost indistinguishable from regular selfies taken with a phone.

- Everyone who's used it has broken out in giggles at least once.

- You can dress yourself up in pretty much any way!

The bad

- It may take up to 18 images to find a "good" one.

- Generation quality is heavily dependent on the input selfie.

The ugly

- It's the millionth + 1 ChatGPT/Image generation wrapper

Feedback is very welcome!
The rise of TikTok makes me think people might not consciously care, but they'll vote with their eyeballs if someone comes along with a better experience.
Have you ever met Sutton? He is the most heart-warming, caring and passionate hippy I have ever met. He does not want all humans to die. The talk you link also doesn't support your claim. Perhaps I missed it, in that case, do leave a timestamp.

In the talk, he says it will lead to an era of prosperity for humanity, however without humanity being in sole control of their destiny. His conclusion slide (at 12:33) literally has the bullet point "the best hope for a long-term future for humanity". That is opposite to you saying he "doesn't care if humans all die".

If I plan for my succession, I don't hope nor expect my daughter will murder me. I'm hoping for a long retirement in good health after which I will quietly pass in my sleep, knowing I left her as well as I could in a symbiotic relationship with the universe.
> How has that "unlimited" money supply worked out ever since?

It works very well when your currency is the world's reserve currency. You get way more latitude for printing money with much lower inflation vs some isolated economy win no deep reservoirs of unused currency in "reserves".

If the US loses the status of being the dominant reserve currency, the link between money supply and inflation will become much stronger. The USD is currently backed by the US hegemony , of which foreign policy is a big part of.
AI is 'beating' humans at empathy and creativity. But these games are rigged
I really don't understand what their endgame is here. AI Search can't be good for their ads business, because by its very nature it bypasses most of the ads. Why would I spend money on Google ads anymore if it doesn't drive traffic to my web site?

Actually a few years ago I knew that a significant percentage of option trading routed through a VBA+Access+Excel product developed by a Montreal company (forgot the name) and the earliest code started from 1998.
I suspect that AI Overall will un-level playing fields, because it requires working at a higher level of abstraction, and -- within reason -- working at higher levels of abstraction is harder than working at lower levels of abstraction (above the mean, obviously working on CPU logic is harder than writing shell scripts, and probably below the mean lower level's of abstraction are harder)

So now interviews will ultimately have to get to something like: synthesizing everything you have to know about programming and the nature of business logic decisions and customer needs, how will you mange the output of multiple LLM's to accomplish task y.

There's a reason that supervisory roles tend to be for more experienced folks, and if you're sort of "managing" a team of AI that will be harder.
You really don't notice the notch on the macbooks, I can't even see it normally. Might be different on a Linux DE though.
Partial correction, an Epyc CPU with 12 channels has 576 GB/s, i.e. DDR5-6000 x 768 bits. That is 70% of the Apple memory bandwidth, but with possibly much more memory (768 GB in your example).

You do not need 2 CPUs. If however you use 2 CPUs, then the memory bandwidth doubles, to 1152 GB/s, exceeding Apple by 40% in memory bandwidth. The cost of the memory would be about the same, by using 16 GB modules, but the MB would be more expensive and the second CPU would add to the price.
Almost a competitor to Deep Research. It also reminds me of Learn About in some ways.
From the guidelines:

> Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something
Trend recentlyis producer price index PPI has been falling (i.e. inputs cheaper). Core CPI rising (i.e. minus food+energy volatility, really deflating pork prices from overproduction recovering from african swine fever). IMO proxy indicator that cheap power is driving efficiency divident. Western reporting last couple years fixated on porkflation than deflation due to pork deflation (big part of CPI basket) because... well western media.

My intuition is also that PRC deflation = PRC producer simply better at cheaper inputs and value engineering products. A 10K USD domestic EV today is significantly better than a 10k USD domestic IC from 5 years ago. PRC manufacturing very good at Model T-ing everything. And it's the "correct" model since PRC is large income disparity society. Common prosperity means driving quality/costs down so the 5000k USD per capita in tier 3_ cities have something reasonable to buy. And also makes migrating/sustaining to those cities viable because T1s/T2s are full. It's why we see stats like aggregate sales during major events (11/11) or travel going up, but per capita spend down. Market is creating products forbottom quantiles who are price sensitive to consume. Common prosperity is giving T3+ cities a taste of T1/T2. Get's obfuscated by western reporting because their source in T1 cities are buying less Prada handbags because they have to shut down one of their 3 hotpot restaurants. Also just general PRC branding improving in popularity and domestic blends tend to be cost-concious, this gets labelled as consumption downgrading (and some of it is), but a lot of it is also PRC value-driven products are increasingly competitive with imports. Enough to drive patriotic purchasing. Bonus this means very cost-competitive goods for exports and displacing (western) incumbants on increasingly higher value sectors.

Then add government driven consumption, i.e. vouchers for cars, appliances, tourism, industrial upgrades. Underdeveloped safety net = people will have propensity to save. So more prudent for gov to pull targetted consumption lever, IIRC accounting for gov social transfers on top of household consumption, PRC consumption around OECD average. They can consume more, but not as prolific as Americans unless CCP gets more sectors to extract service rent. Which I don't think they want to, at least not as much as US - crippling education debt not good if you want to maximize broad talent development. The other generic suggestion is improve investment market / financialization, and there's some efforts to. But to be blunt, too much of PRC poor are undereducated and vunerable to... not sound investment. IMO recipe for social disaster when grandma gambles away nest egg on stocks because mass speculation / herd mentality / scams / superstition . AKA shenanigans. So really just leaves household saving what they need, buying what they can afford, and gov boosting consumption via levers, and indy policy stretching more consumption per rmb by making goods better/cheaper.

As far as I've seen that's just normal barn design. Cows relieve themselves (both ways) into a gutter that runs behind their stalls, and then when you clean the gutters it all gets spread onto the field.
Some alternatives that are listed on that website that aren't just "Better because of European" but better because they have better features/cheaper/otherwise, that they happen to be on the same continent is an extra plus. All of these are services/applications I rely on myself and can vouch for:

- DeepL - Leagues ahead of Google Translate and any other translation service I've tried. People who speak more than one language will most likely recognize how much better it is immediately.

- Proton Mail - Basically what gmail was when it first arrived, lightweight and simple email that mostly just works

- Migadu - When you need to setup email for a small/medium-sized organization

- Element - Decentralized alternative to Signal/Whatsapp. Can't say the UI/UX is top-notch yet, still a bit confusing for non-developers, but getting closer everyday.

- OpenStreetMap - Google/Apple Maps alternative built and maintained by volunteers. Usually really fast at updates when roads change, at least here in Spain.

- VLC - Well, not much can be added, probably the best media player out there.

- Blender - FOSS 3D suite/application that been around forever, but in the recent years started making huge progress to becoming a real alternative in the industry.

- Codeberg - For when you want to host FOSS on a 100% FOSS platform, instead of a for-profit platform (GitHub et al)

- Hetzer - Best and cheapest (but maybe not the most reliable) host for dedicated servers in Europe, has datacenters in Germany and Finland. Haven't used their other services but hearing good stuff about them too. Sometimes they have issues with reliability (network switches mostly afaik?) but tends to be fixed within an hour or two when it happened to me.

- Mullvad - Probably the strongest VPN out there in terms of possibility of them being nice with your data (the data they have at least)
Honestly I don't think we'll see the M4 Ultra at all this year. That they introduced the Studio with an M3 Ultra tells me M4 Ultras are too costly or they don't have capacity to build them.

And anyway, I think the M2 Mac Pro was Apple asking customers "hey, can you do anything interesting with these PCIe slots? because we can't think of anything outside of connectivity expansion really"

RIP Mac Pro unless they redesign Apple Silicon to allow for upgradeable GPUs.

Ask HN: When was it clear that Linux had won (in the data center)?
This is a question for older HNers.

Today Linux is the default server OS. Unless you have a good reason not to, any new server application is going to be developed for and deployed on Linux.

Windows server maintains a consistent, but much smaller, market share while all other Unix and Unix-like (Commercial SysV, BSDs, etc.) systems are heavily eclipsed by Linux.

My question is, when did this fact become clear? At what point was it just common sense that any new service was going to be deployed on RedHat/Ubuntu/Debian instead of Solaris/AIX/FreeBSD?

I know a lot of people in Microsoft and SCO recognized commercial Unix as being doomed in the mid-late 90s already, but from what I can tell commercial Unix remained relevant well into the late 2000s.

Was the Oracle Sun acquisition a nail in the coffin? Did the 08 financial crisis lead to cost cutting or kill a lot of businesses that had legacy applications relying on commercial Unix?

I wasn't working at the time so I don't know, but I am very curious for perspectives from anyone who was.

The apps are developed by different teams. MacOS apps are containerized. Saying macOS's performance is hindered by Notes.app is like saying that Windows is hindered by Paint.exe. Notes.app is just a default[0]

[0]: though, I dislike saying this because I always feel like I need to mention that even Notes links against a hilarious amount of private APIs that could easily be exposed to other developers but... aren't.

Nope.

Another downside is the X. The protocol being extensible means that no two clients implement the same subset of extensions making it useless. I’ve been scolded in the past for using the "wrong" client, making my messages look weird for people using the "right" client. Just make a good protocol.
you have the choice to go with the AMD Ryzen AI Max processor which rivals the M4. And gives similar battery life and performance.

Or the Intel Lunar Lake processor.

Both have extremely good laptop options - the Lenovo Yoga Aura edition is pretty much macbook quality.

yes please, find another ingredient that doesn't involve smuggling it out of a war-torn country, at the very least. Unfortunately i didn't know this when i bought some and now i got a giant tub of conflict gum that i'll probably never use. I got it to make "Chocolate Frosty" that wouldn't have the tiny ice crystals in it. It didn't work, i think you have to put it in something that is hot in order to activate it, and i didn't want to experiment to find out which part i could heat up without affecting the end result.

there are other gums, too. And now that i know about the collection of gum arabic i'll avoid it in processed stuff, too. I already boycott nestle, and i can do without coca-cola, too.

That's all nice, but if they are to be considered a serious AI hardware player, they will need to invest in better support of their hardware in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch and Jax. Currently the support is rather poor, and is not suitable for any serious work.

As a user, I've found that researching the same topics in OpenAI Deep Research vs Perplexity's Deep Research results in "narrow and deep" vs "shallow and broad".

OpenAI tends to have something like 20 high quality sources selected and goes very deep in the specific topic, producing something like 20-50 pages of research in all areas and adjacent areas. It takes a lot to read but is quite good.

Perplexity tends to hit something like 60 or more sources, goes fairly shallow, answers some questions in general ways but is excellent at giving you the surface area of the problem space and thoughts about where to go deeper if needed.

OpenAI takes a lot longer to complete, perhaps 20x longer. This factors heavily into whether you want a surface-y answer now or a deep answer later.
As far as I can tell this is without the planned C++ rewrite though, and the documentation at https://beancount.github.io/ still says to use v2.

Is there a point in migrating already?

> You mean server-grade CPUs? Apple doesn't make those.

Right.

It is coming up because we're in a thread about using them as server CPUs. (c.f. "colo", "2U" in OP and OP's child), and the person you're replying to is making the same point you are

For years now, people will comment "these are the best chips, I'd replace all chips with them."

Then someone points out perf/watt is not perf.

Then someone else points out some M-series is much faster than a random CPU.

And someone else points out that the random CPU is not a top performing CPU.

And someone else points out M-series are optimized for perf/watt and it'd suck if it wasn't.

I love my MacBook, the M-series has no competitors in the case it's designed for.

I'd just prefer, at this point, that we can skip long threads rehashing it.

It's a great chip. It's not the fastest, and it's better for that. We want perf/watt in our mobile devices. There's fundamental, well-understood, engineering tradeoffs that imply being great at that necessitates the existence of faster processors.
> How has that "unlimited" money supply worked out ever since?

Judging that it's been 100 years since the last depression, pretty well.
So I’ve started a thing with Jim’s, and the first effort I am doing is erring the “tone” meaning I’m building a project template that will keep the bots focused.

I think that one part of the deep loop needs to be a check-in on expectations and goals…

So instead of throwing a deep task: I find that bots work better in small iterative chucks of objectives..

I haven’t formulated it completely yet but as an example ive been working extensively with cursors whole anthropic abstraction ai as a service:

So many folks suffer from “generating” quagmire;

And I found that telling the bot to “break any response into smaller chunks to avoid context limitations” works incredibly well…

So when my scaffold is complete the goal is to use Fabric Patterns for nursery assignments to the deep bots.. whereby they constantly check in.

Prior to “deep” things I found this to work really well by telling the bots about obsessively development_diray.md and .json tracking of actions (even still their memory is super small, and I envisioned a multi layer of agents where the initial agents actions feed the context of agents who follow along and you have a waterfall of context between agents so as to avoid context loss on super deep iterative research…

(I’ll type out something more salient when I have a KVM…

(But I hope that doesn’t sound stupid)
