Yep, good point. Their mobile OSes are annoyingly locked down, that is for sure...

Is Apple taking steps to purposefully blocking open stuff, or are they just pointedly ignoring it and continuing to develop new hardware? I am genuinely asking, I don't know myself.

edit: speaking mostly about macOS here, mobile OSes are much more locked down

PetitGPT told me that

Otherwise, a very neat demo. As others have said, the UI is VERY confusing, way too much stuff going on.

I tested this on my Mac Studio M4 Max running Sequoia 15.7.9. The only browser I use other than Safari (which requires Tahoe for WebGPU) is Opera, so I tested it there.

When I click the death ray, it freezes Opera completely, and pins my 40 core GPU at 100% indefinitely.

However, contrary to what should happen, macOS continues merrily along. It lags a bit and some UI elements don't appear instantly, but I can summon the force quit menu and simply kill Opera, at which point the OS returns to normal.

However, there *is* _something_ confused, as my GPU is sitting at 6W and full boost, yet with no active processes. Seems to suggest that something is orphaned yet still running. I am now going to log out and back in to see if I can fix it without rebooting.

EDIT: fixed the 100% use, but not the power draw, by putting it to sleep and waking it back up. Interesting!

Why did you modify the title to not include Canada?

According to the HN guidelines:

"Otherwise please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

That's neat, thanks for explaining!

How did your program suggest auto-fixed names? A manually entered list of common names, or did it go by previous records?

BASIC is over 40 years older than me, and I have never played with it, thus my question :-)

This will really help when my 8 RTX PRO 6000s ship. /s

I gave Immich a fair try, but it could not replace Apple Photos for my use case. YMMV, but my favorite Photos app features simply weren't available.

I use Apple's top-notch editing for all sorts of stuff - RAW images, videos, basic enhancements, etc. When I tested, Immich didn't have very good, if any, editing features.

I also love Apple's search functions, and it Just Works™. I'm sure Immich has similar, but I know it would take a lot of processing to make it happen.

I also did not really care for Immich's UI, it felt overly basic and Material Design to me, but that is only personal preference.

Another gap is metadata. In Apple Photos I can tap the little "I" icon to see a lot of capture metadata, and in Immich I did not see an equivalent to how good Apple's one is.

I think that's just a limitation on the size of the model. I'm pretty sure that they use a pretty small model in those summaries to save money, which naturally makes them a little less smart.

The full Perch V2 model at https://huggingface.co/tphakala/Perch-v2 can do some frogs and cicadas and such, but it is not very good. It will certainly detect it, whether the species will be right is a whole other question.

I run BirdNET-Go as an app on my Home Assistant i7 M710q. I use the GPU-enabled BirdNET model and Perch V2, and it works swimmingly.

Input is three RTSP streams from various Reolink PoE cameras around our house, and it is pretty cool to be able to find and listen to the birds/frogs that come.

One use case I find cost effective is using it as a voice assistant for Home Assistant. API pricing on models is very weird compared to the normal chats, so I use Qwen/GPT-OSS on my Mac Studio via llama.cpp server.

My iPad Pro M2 takes around 30 seconds to solve it in Safari, while my Mac Studio solves it in about 3 seconds using 449% logical CPUs. It really makes no sense. Interesting how much slower it is than native - could it be protections against things such as crypto mining?

You can't tease us with that and not share any information! ;-)

That's true. I just meant reviewing certain changes and whatnot.

I suppose the key is whether you consider vibe coding a bad thing or a good thing. Because if it's good, then that's good news, right?

That is fair - but your wording makes it sound like he is going to set aside his brain and let AI tools do all the kernel-related work for him, which I don't think will happen.

As far as I see it, he is vibe coding tools for himself but (hopefully) still manually monitoring crucial bits of software like Linux.

Linus said that this particular project was vibe coded, not that he was a vibe coder or that he's going to vibe-code everything he does from now on.

> "Also note that the python visualizer tool has been basically written by vibe-coding"

As far as I understand, Torvalds said that he is not going to oppose all AI-generated improvements to Linux, not that he's vibe coding new kernel modules for fun.

Since you are dead-set against getting a Mac, why don't you move to Android? It seems like a better fit as Apple's whole thing is about continuity between their own devices, which obviously will not work for you.

AT first I was very confused, then I realized that this is building on TrueNAS CORE, and not TrueNAS SCALE. Makes much more sense now!

It is insane to me that the datacenter operator caused the cooling to fail and then failed to notify Proton either before or after the incident. That seems exceptionally bad - is that normal?!

I hope Proton gets reimbursed for the cost of the failed equipment, but I am rather surprised that the servers don't protect themselves automatically in such cases.

Not in this case. I wish I could find the actual post, but I recall reading a post on HN recently where a majority of the commenters were claiming that when they even see a Cloudflare verification checkbox that they leave the website.

This makes no sense to me as in my experience, you click the checkbox and then it verifies you without extra steps.

It's puzzling how mild the reactions are to Anubis compared to the people reacting to seeing one singular Cloudflare captcha checkbox. I'd much rather a checkbox than a brief CPU-intensive hashing session.

Are you serious? A symlink is probably one of the smallest files you can possibly generate.

Asus has their gimmicks but that sounds genuinely cool and well thought out!

Oh, I never thought of that! That would be kind of funny if true.

Oh, I'm sorry. When you said "I don't have the spare 8TB" I assumed you were talking about GLM.

Also, it's very rare for people to have the 8TB option on Macs - it's got to be a $1600+ option, huh? So not very common, which is why I assumed it meant something else.

I'm sorry to hear that.

But my GLM5.2 is not 8TB, it is only around 200GB and works pretty well. (0.9tok/sec from a 40Gbps NVMe)

I used https://huggingface.co/anemll/GLM-5.2-sidecar

Wow! That is wild.

I am on 15.7.9 and I have had uptimes in the high 50s with weekly local model usage, I even tried GLM5.2 streaming from SSD and I have not noticed any slowdowns after at all. I guess you are right about 26 and 27. Dang, the more I hear about 26 I am just so glad that I did not update. What version of macOS are you on? 26 or 27? Have you considered doing a custom backup and restoring manually to 15.7?
