Yesterday, we launched a generative image model that competes with the top of the field. I figured some HN folks might be interested in this deep dive from the research team. Watch…

Also: free random house you didn't want, design, or ask for. If you've held onto vacant property for years or decades, you may have a specific plan in mind for it (like retirement)…

In the context of laptops, I would agree (MBP's hardware just outclasses everything else, even if I prefer Fedora over macOS). However, for phones, this just doesn't shake out. The…

For me it's the keyboard and hotkeys. I use macs at work and Linux at home. There's no uniform way to make a Linux machine accept things like cmd right arrow to jump to the end of …

Given the weird take on x86 being inherently "more powerful" and the copy-pasted error from the marketing site (32W vs 32WH) this "article" looks like gently massaged advertising c…

My takeaway from the read wasn't that it was trying to convince anyone to take any particular action, and even emphasized that the mediocrity of AI output as more people use it wil…

That sounds like possibly a configuration issue rather than strictly performance (although I agree the symptom is worse performance). For instance, specifically the value "~60fps" …

Hey, I worked on this & totally agree - I want my tools to be editors, not slot machines. My focus has been on the beta "Edit" feature, tucked away into the top-right when you're l…

TIL, thanks! I still am not willing to migrate browsers in order to use Bing, however.

Here's a sentence I never expected to write: For the past few months I've used Bing as my default search engine. While Bing's standard search results are slightly worse than Google…

All good points. I suspect preferences will hinge on peoples' budgets for personal responsibility. As my non-digital responsibilities have increased, I've found it nice to be able …

I fondly remember locally-executing software with local persistence by default. To provide a counterpoint, though, during that time my entire family shared one desktop PC. Looking …

Yep, for the 10th gen X1 Carbon

Because I wanted hardware that's already been tested end-to-end with not only linux in general, but the distro & version I'm using (Fedora 36). Using the same hardware that Lenovo …

@nivertech I use the Samsung c34j74x: https://displaysolutions.samsung.com/monitor/detail/1280/C34... It's 3440x1440, and yes the Intel driver under Fedora drives it flicker-free a…

That sounds rough! I would probably look into getting a full replacement (possibly with a different model) from Lenovo, given such persistent "lemon" issues.

There are regular HN threads discussing good development machines, especially from people hoping to find an OSS alternative to MS, Google, & Apple walled gardens. The hardware & op…

I don't know if the fingerprint reader works - I don't like them, so haven't tried to set it up (it's integrated into the power button, which of course does work). I haven't spent …

I agree the M1 is great hardware. However, the feeling of speed is made up of much more than just the hardware's capabilities. The OS you use, the toolchain you have access to, imp…

I have had similar experiences to you in the past, which is why I posted about the different experience I had with the latest Thinkpad X1 Carbon that comes with Fedora Linux out of…

I did compare it to the XPS 13 - the XPS looked like a solid machine, but it felt a little cramped to me. I preferred the still-svelte-but-bigger 14" X1. Another consideration was …
