Parent comment says "aggressively cutting unsuccessful bets" and Oculus is nothing like that. Oculus Quest are decent products, but a complete flop compared to their investment and Zuck's vision of the metaverse. Remember the

If you just look ar similar discussions on HN, you'll see that these models often don't even answer the specific question you ask but just give you random nonsense. I'd rather see an honest "I don't know" inste

To me it's a solution looking for a problem. Just revisit Microsoft's marketing material for their Copilot products. Bizarre use cases one after another.

Like parent, I did not "see the value" "right away", but on the contrary, I am more confused about what the phone brings.

> I love the idea of an on-device model My impression is that most people here haven't tried similar small models and don't have first hand experience with them. They are, to be honest, terrible. They may be good for certain ta

You can't, at least for production code. I have used Claude Code for vibe coding several side projects now, some just for fun, others more serious and need to be well written and maintainable. For the former, as long as it works, I don

I have seen that with both Linux and Windows. And there are bugs like this https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1808039 that prevents sleep on Windows, but somehow does not exist on Chrome, or when you use Linux&#x2

Which is why I use modified version of YouTube on the web and on Android. I don't watch videos on iPad unless I have to. (I happen to have an Android tablet so that works well.) Although I know this is not a solution for everyone.

I have seen people arguing "mailing patches is better than github" more than once here on HN. I am like, whatever.

Outside personal projects, my take is that security really just comes in two flavors: CVE vs no CVE. I pick the former.

My understanding of what this article does not say aloud: it seems that this startup wants to get "free exposure"* by being the owner of the open source repo and potentially good reputation from media coverage. It's not unrea

Apple will definitely not be doing this. As can be already seen in other comments, the performance of the model is not very good. In fact, you can't really find a model that runs well enough on a phone to provide a good user experience

Didn't find the "Linux development environment" option. I guess the article is based on a Pixel phone, and not all Android 15 ROMs are equal.

> With Android 15 you even get a full blown Linux VM running on KVM. Is there anything more than a proof of principle that people (aka anyone who owns an Android 15 device) can try out? I didn't find any instructions for actually do

The sentence reads The new garbage collector may be enabled by setting [blurred] at build time to me, where exact flag value is automatically ignored, because I don't care what's in there. I don't pay attention to such irrele

That's exactly China's line. They say it helps catch criminals. And to their credit, it does, but at the expense of dissidents and activists.

I think pip made some poor design choices very early, but pip stuck around for a long time and people kept using it. Of course things got out of control, then people kept inventing new package management until uv comes along. I don't k

To be fair, I read the article but still don't know what greentea is. The article never directly refers to the new GC by this name. It appears in a command line option value, that's about it.

Thank you, this does not get discussed enough on HN. I used to look forward to monthly releases of VSCode and actually read the changelog carefully to see what new features/enhancements I could make use of. These days I just glance and

The audience of digital foundary care about frame rate, simple. If they are more interested in other non technical aspects of a game, they wouldn't be watching/reading their reviews in the first place.

So what? My salary pays for 2-3 developers in the UK, even more in India, and I am not necessarily any better than those developers. Should I feel bad for that as well?

I wonder why so few people ask Apple products of such questions -- "what if my SSD goes bad, does it mean my computer is now completely useless?"
