Awesome project. When I read the display I hear a very specific voice in my head calling out the arrival times!

And if no one pays for any of that content there will be zero ways to stay informed!


Information has existed long before the invention of money, and will outlive it.


IMO it is a false dichotomy to equate piracy with theft like that.

I think 90-99% of anything pirated (or accessed by bypassing paywalls etc) would just never be bought/paid-for if there was no alternative.


Are there no ads on the site?


conversely, what's the purpose of using Codeberg over Github?


I too would like to understand why. Perhaps the only one I care for is that I would not like to give too much power to Microsoft in choosing who can contribute.

Others have issue with their code being used in AI training, but I find no issue in that myself, my code is not exclusively mine anyway and I have no say in how it is being used.


I'm banned from GitHub because I didn't give them my mobile phone number, but I wouldn't switch to another provider that could easily do the exact same thing - "fool me twice"


No AI, EU based, so respects the GDPR for all users, regardless of where they live, you can send PRs to make it better, is 100% Free Software, has its own Actions system that is also 100% Free Software, the logo is nice, you can become a member of the Berlin based association and have a direct vote on policy/feature changes.


It’s faster and FOSS.


Not wanting to perpetuate a monoculture. Centralizing git repos is perverse.


I'd like to hold it, it seems like it might be more one-hand grippable in this form factor.


I've never transferred data over a wire to or from my iPhone, interesting that this is important for some use cases.


Backing up your 1TB phone without taking whole house wi-fi bandwidth for 12 hours is one.


... what is wrong with your wifi, that its non-functional with <200 mbps of transfer?


200mbps is still wishful thinking in a typical household with ISP-provided consumer-grade router/AP in a suboptimal location. At the very least it will slow everything else down while it takes ~11 hours at a sustained 200mbps to transfer 1TB.


Not sure that I expect the average hacker news commenters to stick with their ISP-provided router in a suboptimal location - you can pick up a wifi6 router for under $100, that will happily maintain gigabit speeds over a normal-sized house


The article quotes the CEO saying yield is comparable:

>TSMC’s new Arizona plant is already comparable with those in Taiwan when it comes to the measure of yield — the amount of good chips a production run produces per batch — Su told the audience at the forum.


The overhead cost of a fab is fixed. So hard to understand why that would have such a wide variance. It may be true that the facility hasn’t been fully amortized so in principle it’s more expensive to make chips there. I can understand it being more expensive for many reasons. However I wouldn’t expect the cost difference to have a large variance. 5-20% is a very large range if the yields are comparable.


I think it also shows that fabs who only have one customer (ie, Intel) aren't as competitive because they can't provide as much scale and are more sensitive to that customer's success.

Intel's fab would be doing much better if it spun it out a while ago and was making Intel, Nvidia, and Apple chips right now.


If Intel's fabs has been spun out and operating at arms length from Intel's chip design side, then Intel's fabs would be dead. The guaranteed volume from manufacturing Intel's CPUs is all that's been keeping their fab side going. If they had to depend on customers who were actually sane and free to take their business elsewhere, Intel's fabs would have long since chased off all their customers with unfulfilled promises that next time they'll have a working process.

What Intel process from the last decade would have been enticing to Nvidia or Apple?


Possible I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to do, but ollama works well for me for local inference with qwen on my Macbook Pro (32GB).


Yup, also using Ollama and on a Macbook Pro. Ollama is #1


But isn't ollama only local chat? Or I am missing something? I'd like to setup it as a server for my usages on another laptop (use it as my local AI hub) and would love to integrate it with some IDE using MCP


No, it can listen on 0.0.0.0 or you can serve it through a proxy


Yeah, I think we're over analyzing it in this thread. Seems pretty light hearted and fun.


I think another generalization people make here is around complexity. Many developers work on apps that just aren't that complex. Glorified CMS's mostly doing CRUD with well established code patterns.

Sure, LLMs might create slop on novel problems, but a non-tech company that needs to "create a new CRUD route" and an accompanying form, LLMs are smart enough.


I agree. I spent most of my career on complex distributed infrastructure. I spent most of my time reading and thinking, not coding.
