Agreed, but Zed is open source so I think that does offer some long term protection to users who like the editor and don't want AI.

Seems like a reasonable trade-off to me. I'm happy for them to have a sustainable business model and people seem quite willing to pay monthly for AI. As long as they keep the free version and the ability to disable AI features then I t

Looks like modified placeholder addresses because the author didn't want to use real addresses. I don't think it could be used for internal routing since each octet is represented with a single byte (0-255) so having larger numbe

If the model is open source, I'm hoping for an option to be able to run this feature locally for free. They seem to have support for running other models locally (e.g. deepseek-r1 through Ollama), so I'm hoping they will keep that

"flesh automaton" reminds me of this great short story by Terry Bisson I came across in an issue of MIT's Twelve Tomorrows https://www.mit.edu/people/dpolicar/writing/prose/text/think.

I'm interested to hear what you would propose.

Terminology (part of Enlightenment) is a fantastic terminal and has image support. https://www.enlightenment.org/about-terminology.md

Agreed that there is plenty of weird internet out there left to enjoy, but I think its a bit of a stretch to call YC a corporate mega-site.

The 6501 was pin compatible with the 6800, but had its own instruction set. After the lawsuit, the pins changed and we got the 6502. This meant that if you enabled 6800 support on the Apple 1 you could drop in a 6501 and use it with softwar

Fun fact, the Apple 1 could also use a Motorola 6800 CPU

Yes, I think YC is almost always worth it. Even as a founder who has raised VC and exited previously I found it to be worthwhile.

This might be the craziest sounding thing I'll say on HN, but it's not impossible to think counter-intuitive moves like this are actually in service of Roko's basilisk. What better than centralizing power in this way.

I too subscribe to the Tim "The Toolman" Taylor ideology of more power. My only point was that most developers don't "need" a Mac Pro, even if they neeeeed it.

I don't know what kind of work you do, but in some ways it is a niche market. It's a professional workstation that is usually meant for compute intensive tasks like scientific computing, 3d rendering and animation, etc. It's

Best thing I learned from this article is that Messages on Mac stores all your messages in a sqlite db. Pretty cool!

You say it's not novel, but I loved the twist where they decided to open a theme park.

Congrats on launching. Though I would caution you on the name, which does have meanings you may not intend.

Founders can opt-out, though it looks like there's little control on what information is shared publicly.

I recently bought a vehicle and fully considered a Tesla. In the end, I decided that the build quality wasn't what I have come to expect for a car in that price range. There is a trend amongst luxury cars, I think driven by Tesla, of m

It would be interesting to see what would have happened had Apple bought Be instead of Apple, but I think it's pretty clear Apple made the "right" move. NeXT had really good software, and of course, Steve Jobs (and let's

In what ways do you think VS Code is miles ahead? With language server and debug adapter plugins, I find ST to be a very good replacement for VS Code.

There are a lot of really interesting people from that era who could make a good story: Lee Felsenstein - Homebrew Compter Club, Osborne 1, Sol-20 (this + Community Memory is a good story) Ed Roberts - MITS Nat Wadsworth - created a PC in 1

I actually enjoy programming in C. I don't get to use it as much as I'd like to though. Almost all the work I do these days has some other language that makes more practical sense to use: JavaScript, Golang, Rust, etc. But coming

The world of mechanical keyboards is really expansive, and actually a lot of fun. I'm currently driving a RAMA M60 which has the same HHKB layout, but uses Cherry MX key switches. It's also solid metal and weighs like 10 lbs. htt

I dunno. For me this watch is nearly perfect. It's incredibly thin, lightweight, waterproof. It shows the time, day and date. The battery will last for 7-10 years. I can wear it day and night and never have to take it off or do anythin

Woz loved these kinds of optimizations. With the Apple 1 he also used 7 bits per character, but he stored them with 7 1024-bit shift registers.

Worth pointing out (for those interested) that Applesoft BASIC provided floating point support, and was provided by Microsoft. BASIC and the monitor were stored on ROM chips on the motherboard. The II and II+ were basically the same compute
