There will always be beneficial change for consumers if input costs drop in competitive markets. Markets are dynamic systems. Even if the costs don't drop, the person that is actually providing you value via the app will get the money where they can use it to hire more people to improve the product you use.
Catholics abandon and sell church buildings all the time. Once you've removed a small handful of sacred items and done the de-consecration-ritual, it is "just a building" to them too.

There are vast numbers of repurposed churches in Catholic countries. Just walk the streets in an Italian city.

I'm not familiar with the specifics for catholics, but it is conceptually not too different from how protestants do it.

With the caveat, best repeated in every post under this article, that of course very strong sentimental feelings can be attached to a church building. You could put a religious dimension on the morality of hurting peoples feelings by destroying or changing a beautiful thing I guess. But, it is not the house itself that is holy in a holy house.

Hey ondrsh, I read your blog post and thought it was very interesting, however I did have a follow-up question:

In your post you say "The key insight is: Because this can happen at runtime, the user (NOT the developer) can add arbitrary functionality to the application (while the application is running — hence, runtime). And because this also works remotely, it could finally enable standardized b2ai software!"

That makes sense, but my question is: how would the user actually do that? As far as I understand, they would have to somehow pass in either a script to spin up their own server locally (unlikely for your everyday user), or a url to access some live MCP server. This means that the host they are using needs an input on the frontend specifically for this, where the user can input a url for the service they want their LLM to be able to talk to. This then gets passed to the client, the client calls the server, the server returns the list of available tools, and the client passes those tools to the LLM to be used.

This is very cool and all, but it just seems like anyone who has minimal tech skills would not have the patience to go and find the MCP server url of their favourite app and then paste it into their chatbot or whatever they're using.

Let me know if I have misunderstood anything, and thanks in advance!
There recently was a post by Harper Reed that goes into how to prepare the right prompts before you start coding with LLMs and break that down into smaller debuggable step. It might kill the vibe, but it keeps you in the drivers seat.

For me the question is: what does this mean for future of desktop CPUs? High bandwidth unified memory seems very compelling for many applications, but the GPU doesn't have as much juice as a separate unit. Are we going to see more these supposedly laptop APUs finding their way into desktops, and essentially a bifurcation of desktops into APUs and discrete CPU/GPUs? Or will desktop CPUs also migrate to becoming APUs?

>>Just because the USA has some voting going on, doesn’t mean it’s a functioning democracy

I don't disagree with you. But Trump specifically has been selected by the people through a democratic process, we don't disagree here, correct?

My general point is - despite everything else going wrong at every other level of the government, American people, the common Joes of the land, had one very simple option - not voting for Trump. They had this power(arguably, very little in the grand scheme of things, but still) and they decided to use it to elect him and give full mandate to his administration. The rest of America is not a functional democracy like you said - but the fact that Trump is in charge is squarely in the hands of the American people.

During testing, the RTX 4060m is about 13% faster in 1080p than the AI Max 395+. With Ray Tracing, the RTX 4060m is 35% faster.

So it's probably closer to RTX 4050m than an RTX 4070m.

Also, the Strix Halo laptop is nearly 3x more expensive than the RTX 4060 laptop. So expect to pay more instead of less.

The Neanderthals and the Cro-Magnon's had about 1 tennis-ball's volume more brain than we do, on average. If we lose another tennis-ball, we would have brains the size of Homo Erectus. Nobody really knows why, but our brains have been steadily shrinking since the late Paleolithic.

But the thing is that, unlike Neanderthals--which there probably weren't more than 10,000 or so living at once--there are billions of us, and brain size follows the same Gaussian curve. Which means there are those among us who have really big brains.

Show HN: Quickly Check your Internet Speed without ever leaving your tab
Hi guys

I created this initially for myself and seeing the doubts I used to check my internet speed at least once a day just because I sometimes found my ISP non reliable.

I see there are amazing services that are used like speedtest.net by ookla or fast.com by netflix but those are commercial speed with optimized servers and this led me to think what if I could just try a different algo to get a more real speed to what I get..hence I introduce 2 modes in this tool, one is standard which is real life speeds and other is commercial which is what we get closer to ookla style speed test results.

I will be also doing a technical article on this and how the tool works within a week or 2, until then this is the short story.

I would love for you to try it or you can completely discard it if its not up to your style of work or doesn't fit in your workflow.

See ya fellow HNers.

This is a good point that tends to get drowned out by the severe privacy and security concerns. WebUSB provides zero value to the overwhelming majority of end users, and minimal value to the handful of us who have ever used it at all.
> Most stuff already is dirt-cheap on the App Store (and riddled with ads).

Are we using the same App Store? Anything of worth is behind a $10 monthly subscription. Apple has intentionally made subscriptions the only viable commercial model on the App Store. Then they take 30% (with some exceptions). They forbid competition, so developers aren't free to distribute to iOS customers in any other way.
Of course, but what doctors can and can't do is restricted by the regulations of the national health insurance/organization.

For example in Austria a doctor can't easily write you sick for stress over and over without getting in hot water with the national health insurance board.

After too many sick days, you get summoned for "an audit" to the national insurance doctor for an examination to check why are you sick so often, and unless you show some test results that can prove that you can't work, then that doctor will declare you fit for work and then you are forced to return to work.

There was a case in the news where one worker had to sue the national health insource to be classified as permanently unfit for work(disability) due to long covid since the national insure was not accepting/recognizing her long covid and calling her fit for work.

It's pretty brutal sometimes, the system has grifters on both sides leading to misery.

My guess is that you thought I was posting my cheeky response as a "counter" to the article - I wasn't, and I see the article agrees (in more words, of course) with what I said.

In addition there's a interest in having a lot of memory for LLM acceleration. I expect both CPUs to get more LLM acceleration capabilities and desktop pc memory bandwidth to increase from its current rather slow dual channel 64bit DDR5-6000 status quo.

> DMA exists to make sure the gatekeepers lose market share to their rivals, even if it comes at the expense of consumers.

It sounds like you're not very familiar with the DMA. Most of the regulations have direct benefits to both consumers and developers. From the consumer side, it permits me to:

* Install any software I like, including software Apple doesn't like. For the longest time Apple wouldn't let me install Microsoft xCloud. It was only after the DMA that the loosened this restriction. Ditto for emulators. They still forbid many apps focused on gambling, porn, and cryptocurrencies.

* Install any App Store and choose to make it default. I can choose a default browser now. Soon I will be allowed to choose a default navigation software. It's INSANE that this was locked down until the DMA.

* Use third party payment providers and choose to make them default. Why should I be forced to use Apple Pay?

* Use any voice assistant and choose to make it default. Siri is the worst of all personal assistants. Why can't I use another one?

* User any browser and browser engine and choose to make it default. The fact that Apple forces everyone to use WebKit in 2025 is nothing other than a farce.

* Use any messaging app and choose to make it default. I am currently forced to use Apple's SMS app.

* Make core messaging functionality interoperable. They lay out concrete examples like file transfer.

* Use existing hardware and software features without competitive prejudice. E.g. NFC. A focus area for the Commission is cloud backup. Apple currently doesn't permit the use of competing cloud backup provides, or one's own, for that matter. iOS can only be backed up to Apple servers, and other apps on a per-app basis.

* Not preference their services. This includes CTAs in settings to encourage users to subscribe to Gatekeeper services, and ranking their own services above others in selection and advertising portals

* Much, much, more.

This is before we have explored the various ways the DMA improves the competitive landscape. Apple is clearly abusing their dominant market position to block competition. This is always bad for everyone except the one company in the dominant position.

This is untrue. Privacy and security issues have been raised. Web Serial is not a web standard and cannot become one until Mozilla or Apple sees these issues resolved. Google cannot make this into a web standard unilaterally; standards need consensus.

A Survey of Long Chain-of-Thought for Reasoning Large Language Models
> Rust is rather heavy on its copy/clone imposed semantics making it potentially less suitable for low-latency or large data volume processing workloads. Picking Rust for its performance potential only means that you're going to have a harder time beating other native performance-oriented stream processing engines written in either C or C++, if that is your goal of course.

There is absolutely nothing in Rust's semantics preventing you from writing high-performance data processing workloads in it, and in fact it's one of the best languages for that purpose. Beyond that, the usual barrier to entry for working on a product like this written in C++ is incredibly high in part because stability and safety are so critical for these products--which is one of the reasons that in practice they are often written in memory safe languages, where C++ is not even an option. Have you worked on any nontrivial Rust data processing product where "copy/clone imposed semantics" somehow prevented you from getting big performance wins? I'd be very curious to hear about this if so.
Yeah. People don't remember how painful it was to download a separate flasher and driver for every single board you tried to flash.
