If your goal is pure GPU compute, you should have got a 5090. It can bench comparable to the RTX 6000 Pro cards and is near guaranteed to outperform M5 Ultra.

The lines blurred, IMO. Boycotting the 8086 wouldn't hamstring ICBM development. Boycotting the microwave oven wasn't going to prevent radar complexes from being constructed. Much of the modern pushback seems to come from the new

Of course not, in AppleSpeak it's the advanced Dynamic Island™ and not merely a normal notch.

Both you and the parent comment give Sam Altman a lot of undue credit. He was given funding specifically because his sociopathic tendencies were considered useful for the job. It was only after he had connections through YC that he starte

If we admit that iteration is part of quality, then you've basically just described why Omarchy keeps stubbing it's toe on embarrassing issues like default container misconfiguration. > Maybe Nix is part of the solution, maybe

It might , but if you look at other AOSP features in that vein (split-screen multitasking, popout volume sliders, standard dialer app) they're all largely ignored by downstream OEM Android ROMs. I wish that wasn't the case, but i

Everyone besides you in this thread is echoing the parent's exact sentiment. Maybe you should get one of your coworkers to reword the next question you ask HN.

But it's an Arch base system. You will waste time fixing app pkgbuilds, rolling back unstable updates, cleaning root directory pollution, fighting unpolished AUR software, undoing unsafe defaults that require migration/mitigatio

Their words and actions are also perfectly consistent with fearmongering to force legislation. OpenAI and Anthropic have spent millions on influencers and lobbyists to repeat their scare lines. It makes a lot of sense that the "arms ra

Those are perfectly fine beliefs, but again - how will they achieve ROI? If their finances are "incredible" while they're both in the red, their mediocre quarters will be devastating for investors. They either have to find a

Sam Altman might be king of Cannibal Island, but if you parachute him into Shenzhen then his goose is cooked.

That's not the problem whatsoever. Android is ultimately a FOSS project, so Google can't force anyone to do anything.

I don't get the feeling that they're wrong. No Man's Sky is now more-or-less the game that was originally promised. Many people that bought it at-release are happy with the turnaround, myself included. If the game doesn'

I think everything you just said is absolutely correct, and deliberately avoids answering my initial question. It's an outraged response to my tone towards Arch, btw. Why is Omarchy's AI-generated philosophy superior to NixOS&#x

Many people did. You see, before Omarchy ever existed there was this thing called "Arch Linux" that was famously a tarpit for unemployed midwits and trend-chasing social media addicts. To nobody's surprise, curb-cutting a no

Cyberpunk 2077 is in a worse state, though. CDPR axed multiplayer from the roadmap after launch, and the updates it got (eg. working police cars, outfit transmog) should have been there at release. NMS is no crown jewel, but Hello Games di

How would they achieve ROI? The current consensus is that neither are in black financially and both have a diminishing moat. The reason they haven't IPO'd yet seems to be that they can't assure investors that it's not

These systems don't enable that. Building a bomb, spreading a bioweapon and hacking water/electrical misconfigurations are all trivially possible without AI. Courtesy to Unibomber, Aum Shinrikyo and the IRGC, respectively, for t

The touch bar was a terrible invention. Apple had no shortage of money to fix the software side, they just recognized that it wasn't a "Pro" feature. Consider the most basic usage of the touch bar, displaying function keys.

It is specifically your manner of speech that is pretentious and cultlike. If you cannot comment on technological advancement without making hyperbolic claims, why would you even comment at all? Deep down you must know that "Ask HN:
