The ram is "unified" meaning it's a single shared between CPU and GPU, and it's "on package", meaning the RAM chips are packaged together with the CPU / GPU die, but it's just regular old RAM chips.

You can clearly see this in the shot of the Mini mobo: CPU/GPU ASIC with 2 separate ram chips packaged next to them: https://cdn.wccftech.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/11/Mac-mini...

I too feel this is a huge part of it, coupled with the fact that "basics" of last generation (a home you own, a stable job that doesn't overwork you on evenings and weekends, affordable options to have a family) are also being priced out of many peoples lives. You feel like you're not matching what your parents and cultural artifacts tell you you should be achieving at your age, and at the same time you're flooded with influencers on ski trips to Japan or snorkelling in Jamaica every other weekend, and it's a perfect recipe for feeling bad about your life no matter how well off you're doing compared to yesterdays median statistic.

It's hard to get a comparable read since you don't get a clean split in the #s between what would be public spending vs. private spending if the US + a "Medicare for All" type system, but including the % of GDP spent in US on healthcare overall, it would put government expenditures as % of GDP on par with most other countries in the world that do provide universal health care:

France certainly has a higher % of expenditure to GDP than other comparable countries, and you would expect the USA health care to GDP % to decline to be more inline with other countries with universal coverage if a national program was introduced.

However, because France is still offering more public social services and benefits overall vs. a "USA + universal health" that it's hard to make broad claims either way about who is wasting more money or which system is more effective for citizens based purely on % of government expenditure to total GDP.

Underrated acquisition. Gives NVIDIA a whole lineup of inference-focused hardware that iirc can retrofit into existing air cooled data centres without needing cooling upgrades. Great hedge against the lower-end $$$-per-watt and watt-per-token competition that has been focused purely at inference.

"because of the monolithic nature of ZFS that created problems with the Redox microkernel design"

Anyone have an idea what this actually means and what problems they were having in practice?

"Half of all developers have below-average diligence" - a lot of this is also not developer choice, but environmental. So much software is developed and maintained in very constrained economic environments, often by solo devs who also have other responsibilities. The choice here often is trading some "diligence" for "meeting business requirements in the time / budget constraints" imposed by your employer.

The company behind it got bought by Oracle, so all the public stuff was archived. Not sure if there is still any community around it after that.

I structure all my personal relationships around B2B SaaS contracts. Mom isn't happy when I make changes to the ToS but I've got pretty hard vendor lock-in and a defensible moat there, so I mostly don't worry about the reputational damage.

Wild life path really. Started as a socialist and syndicalist, and then stuff happened (waving hands) and he joined the Mussolini fascists and died before he could see what fascism would do to Europe. Looks like he got more involved with eugenics and elite theory and blue pilled himself to accept fascism as the solution to the problems with democracy and socialism he focused on earlier in his life.

This is related to the evaporation of "free time", socializing irl, and hobbies that I've observed vs. my pre-cellphone/pre-internet youth & young adulthood. Not having social media, work emails & slack, and all the group chats enforced periods of quietness, boredom, and being alone. You went out and socialized and did things in public more often just because you were bored and you couldn't just doomscroll and share memes with the group chat. The overall increase in baseline cognitive social load that is entirely digital and interruptive (notifications!!!) instead of planned irl activities just seems to add to general stress levels and decrease baseline mental wellness.

Ask HN: Whats your late-80s/early-90s computer setup for your kids to mess with?

cayleyh — Thu, 10 Apr 2025 16:35:20 +0000

I grew up with a simple computer: It had some software and programming stuff on it and it wasn't connected to the internet. I was able to just mess around and learn how computers worked, how to use them, and the basics of how to program, without my parents worrying that I was 1) breaking something they needed for work or 2) finding 4chan.

What are your setups for your elementary-aged kids? Do you have a system they can just mess with and break and it's no big deal? Specifically if it's not just a regular hand-me-down computer, what is it and what's the setup?
