    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 …

    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 …

    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 …

    "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/th…

    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 …

    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…

    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 comp…

    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 t…

    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 softwa…
