Sonnet. It makes my token budget go further and I prefer to have the LLM churn away on rote work while I do the thinking. So while Opus and Fable are undoubtedly smarter, that doesn't materially affect _my_ workflow. I'm not as up

There's some exceptions to this rule. Google TV devices are Android under the hood and thus, the TV apps are Android apps distributed as apk's just like on smartphones (not web apps).

Lack of a sane desktop app framework from Microsoft. Heck Microsoft wrote their own damn start menu in React native, and VS Code in Electron.

They can possibly justify the lower sales volume if the margins are much higher.

> when you could run Darwin That's what this is. Darwin isn't installable today. Apple just dumps a bunch of source code. Previous attempts at making Darwin bootable didn't go far and had no GUI.

> every page That's a bit hyperbolic. The areas of the internet I frequent do not have egregious ads (for example, this page). Areas where I really would like good ad-blocking (youtube) are often not covered by these ad blockers. Th

It's weird because Gemini via Antigravity or Google Search "AI Mode" works great. It's just the Google Assistant replacement application that's terrible. I've completely given up trying to ask it anything via A

While VM breakouts have been created in the past, they're about as secure of sandbox as we've got!

Sure but it's resource intense enough it should be opt in, or only install if you're using cowork IMO. For what I'm doing, using containers would be secure enough and much lighter weight.

Does it run a VM under the covers like the Claude desktop app does? I've passed on the Claude desktop app for that reason, despite being curious about the "Routines" feature that isn't available in the Claude Code CLI.

Likely because Netflix relied on Silverlight for video playback early on. I'd be surprised if they still had C# in their front-end stack (and I say that as a general C# fan, though I use it on the back-end).

"The spec" is loose in places and is full of undefined behavior which can change from compiler to compiler. Very low level code tends to hit these types of issues much more than application code would. But these types of issues ar

I have fond memories of riding the one in Duncan BC as a kid! The museum (now labelled a "discovery center" for whatever reason) ha sall sorts of old equipment for kids (and adults) to climb on and gawk at.

X3D is marketed as a gaming feature and benchmarks bear that out. Productivity workloads (video editing, compiling code, etc) benefit very little from the extra cache. You're better off buying a chip without it and a higher core count.

The US is the third largest country by population and disproportionately represented here on hackernews (given it's where ycombinator is based), so it doesn't seem that weird to me. That said, I am jealous of the micro-center deal

The use case is niche but there. I ride mountain bikes and off-road motorcycles and have a GoPro on my helmet. A phone is the wrong form factor and a DSLR is too heavy. Same with surfers, or people who race cars etc. Having a physically sma

You're going to need a source for an LLM one-shotting a port of a AAA title from one graphics API to another...

Self-contained != static compilation though. The self-contained binaries still have pretty poor startup time and are large since they contain the whole JIT.

Lots of replies to this comment but a simple answer from my side: compatibility with ASP.NET attribute routing.

by seabrookmx 2mo ago
Here I am wanting the opposite. I want C# compiled into a static binary like with the GoLang toolchain! Maybe .NET AOT will get there one day..

Likely not. A lot of debuggers don't work under WSL1 either due to missing syscalls. I know some folks love the "purity" of WSL 1 but it's really hard to recommend if you care at all about Linux compatibility.

I'm a big C# fan but XML docstrings definitely suck. We also got stuck with XML-based project files somehow, despite .NET Core/.NET 5+ being a complete rewrite.

It's not any better on the other OS' either. MS hasn't had a sane native app strategy in a decade and the GTK/QT divide remains on Linux.

I don't understand why people care about Electron? Evaluate the quality of the software based on its own merits IMO. VS Code, Slack, Postman, Obsidian.. I use this software every day and my only complaint is Slack's RAM usage (whi

I just visited this beauty[1] a few weeks ago. Not 400ft tall, but over half that and over 13ft round at the base! We're lucky to have a handful of big Doug Firs, Sitka Spruce, and Western Red Cedars left on Vancouver Island. [1]: htt

Sure, but that doesn't mean it works that way everywhere or is inevitable. Where I work, a senior would be reprimanded for such behavior. A key metric to their success is how well they can transfer knowledge and teach others, and their

I don't disagree with you, but technically speaking MacOS is still proprietary and Asahi is not compatible with the latest and greatest Apple devices. While they don't _prevent_ Asahi from doing what they're doing, they certa

I didn't have a single Apple device in my house until a month ago when I bought a Neo. The last Apple devices I had before that were an iPod Nano and a PowerMac G5 many many years ago. Apple has pretty good competition in every segment
