What a lame first comment. They're making tons of money. Sounds hard. Let's give up all our freedom.

Anyone find stuff like this funny? "They cracked a 15-bit key, OMG". 15 bits = 32,768 possible keys in the entire universe. A normal computer cracks this as well in 0.0000001 seconds.

Absolutely retarded and absurdly overpriced for a tool that's basically fallen out of use. They're just trying to do anything they can to justify a crazy IPO valuation so they can keep pumping money into xAI.

Anyone think you'll actually be able to do anything on a Mac with only 8gb of RAM? I had a Macbook Pro before with 16gb of RAM and it was constantly running out of RAM and showing me the Force Quit Applications dialog. Constantly...

Yeah just adding to this -- being able to see the files being operated on is absolutely essential for figuring out if you need to ^C it and try again or if you need to let it keep going.

Seems like a great way to play games with moving money around. Come up with a "valuation" and then "acquire".

Good. As Elon says, the only thing the EU does export is regulation. Same geniuses that make us click 5 cookie pop-ups every webpage

Ask HN: Vision Pro Desktop Experience vs. Sidecar

zeptonix — Tue, 13 Feb 2024 11:55:18 +0000

Can anyone comment on how good of an experience it is to use your Macbook Pro desktop on the Vision Pro?

I've tried using Sidecar in the past to get my desktop on my iPad and results were:

- It changes the resolution on my Mac to something much less pleasant in order to work

- Slows my Mac down incredibly while it's sharing the display

- In general just made the whole system a lot slower and was an overall laggy experience

Is this significantly better on the Vision Pro? If my main reason to buy the Vision Pro is to use my desktop on it ... does that make sense or is that crazy?

Interesting that the article picks Notion as its example. For me too it seems like I am initially NEVER logged in no matter how often I login to Notion.
