Microsoft will likely acquire OpenAI at some point and will dominate AI landscape due to its corporate reach, automating away most of the MBA BS.

I disagree, one can make it difficult to data scrappers.

Kiss of death for Gitlab? A temporary bump in profits while being technically assimilated by Google due to a significant portion of profits being directly dependent on Google? Now people who don't want to contribute to Microsoft traini

I was involved with some deep React apps that utilized all kinds of advanced patterns and I simply don't see the need for most apps I see around. React is neat if you have thousands of concurrent updates coming in all the time where de

Maybe you can consider that on HN you are talking to experts who in their lives experienced dozens different UI paradigms and frameworks including deep experience with React, its ecosystem, its benefits and its warts. I am pointing out that

You might be right; I see pixels on 13" 1080p displays clearly so I simply have no choice.

M2 Air's retina resolution goes down to 1280x832 whereas Framework's to 1128x752 which is a notch worse in both dimensions.

Agreed, Apple practices are atrocious and Framework seems like a better deal. But it looks like they scavenged unsold displays made for Microsoft Surface and can't source other ones with the same aspect ratio/size but better anywh

There is no framework. Just simple JS calls and bindings to HTML with somebody defining REST or GraphQL backend. And some eye candy CSS. The point is that with ES7+ JS can be finally readable and not a spaghetti code monster so anyone can e

That might be true but React has the same issue with larger teams and everyone using a different part of it; the pace of development drops rapidly and apps become complex monsters for little reason.

If it makes my app simpler, sure. It often does.

Tell that to authors of angular, svelte, nuxt etc. They are all obviously missing something.

It's easy to make your own SPA using div display: none/block, so is routing. Global store is also pretty easy to do including update events. Async/await makes backend calls super simple, one could still use promises for a few

How many apps actually benefit from reactivity, i.e. 1,000 people can post to a feed realtime and the app fetches data from 200 other backend services? I believe for vast majority apps, a basic HTML/JS/CSS is all one needs. It&#x2

Isn't it easier just to learn ES7, use async/await whenever possible, learn how to do div display=none/block, read some CSS tutorials and forget about learning any JS framework?

Yeah, writing a thesis on it right now; this + adapters give so many options to play with and Meta was nice to give me access to their research models.

I bet your desktop display is not 2160x1440 though...

...or maybe it's just market segmentation to give PC plebs inferior tech? You seem to be proud of being what some marketing exec views as an unimportant low-margin value segment only good for getting rid of old stuff.

The screen is not 1440p, it's a 3:2 panel so at 16:9 it would be 1269p.

Yes, since like 2012 with the MacBook Pro. That's how retina works. It's 2023 now.

96GB is doable with 2x48GB DDR5 modules that will be available soon.

M2 MacBook has 96GB at 14". One can use it to run LLaMA 4-bit instead of 3-bit.

Most people use 2x scaling at that resolution and that helps predominantly the text quality as a single "superpixel" is made out of 4 pixels and many more subpixels.

My ASUS ZenBook has 3300x2200 at 13" and it's the best display I've ever had. Can't downgrade once I got used to it, at 2x pixel density it's basically 1650x1100 but with much nicer pixels. Looks stunning in Linux.

Better display please! 2256x1504 is so 2010!
116.
by bitL 3y ago
That's fine, for folks like you Framework should offer the current display. For folks like me they could offer the 3300x2200 option. They offer options on everything but display for some reason.

That seems more like Intel gatekeeping high-end for themselves via some shady background deals with laptop manufacturers. There is no reason why an 8-core Ryzen with Radeon GPU would be limited to these crappy 1080p resolutions.

Calorie deficit doesn't work. One has to switch body to burning fat and eating any carbs prevents it due to keeping carb metabolism pathway instead of fat-burning one, switching body to starvation mode, depression and major muscle loss

As much as I like the idea, they don't address their main weakness - low resolution display. They are like a 720p phone - 2256x1504 is somewhat precise but one can clearly see the pixels and switching to 2x mode makes everything huge.

Switching to carnivore diet gives you 2lb/1kg weight loss a week without any exercise and any feeling of hunger or weakness (assuming you are overweight).
