"Why I still write raw code instead of prompting the compiler" and "Show HN: A text editor that doesn't use AI" are my two favorite ones.

Epic Games have been surprisingly generous with their older library. Refreshing to see.

that's probably thanks to how well Fortnite has done/is doing. Would likely be cagier on their old stuff if the company wasnt doing well

Mitchell Hashimoto is a real programmer in the old vein. It's lovely to see him succeed. Ghostty is fantastic to use.

There was a devtools blackhole era once where if you got in that business you were just giving things away and never got to reap the rewards. Then there was this era of founders who figured out how to make it sticky and capture value in a Pareto-optimal way.

Love to see it.

> it’s been incredible to see how much people love it. AI Overviews now have 2 billion users every month

Do regular users know how to disable AI Overviews, if they don't love them?

it's as low tech as using adblock - select element and block

Of course it is.

As usual, it is low quality and has zero tests.

If got past the first sentence, you might learn the answer to the question. Substations and power/peaker plants. Maybe not in all cases, but I wouldn't want to live next a building have has row upon row of AC systems running 24 hours a day.

I already live and sleep next to my homelab, which is probably louder than those power plants

> Are they price sensitive enough that they won't go to a competitor that's a few dollars more expensive per month if it has better subtitles

Outside of Asia, Crunchyroll is a de-facto monopoly on legal anime. From the article, 70% of new releases are exclusive to Crunchyroll. They're not losing customers to platforms with better subs, because customers have no alternative.

(Besides pirating, but I assume the golden age of Tier 1 fan subs is over)

I was going to ask, crunchyroll has competitors for legal anime stremaing?

I think this is a pretty poor reading of the market. Everyone has a phone. An increasing segment now has little access to desktop or laptop computing. I know I hate that I have to pick up my laptop to do relatively small tasks that I'm halfway through on my phone.

Offering a dockable screen/keyboard/mouse, using the phone battery/compute/storage seems like it would be trivial for Apple.

Obviously cannibalises laptop or tablet sales, but that's not the market's disinterest.

source? or are we just going off vibes here?

That's why they are sold as a pair. The glasses are simply a screen strapped to your face. How to control it was always the real problem to be solved (and no, voice was never the answer).

I was one of the earliest developers to test Vision Pro after it was announced at Apple Park. My thoughts after using it for a whole day was that the hand gestures really did feel like magic, at the tradeoff of having a huge headset on your head. Costs aside, the Vision Pro is too bulky for use outside of your home.

I had the idea of wearables to solve this, as many years ago I had the Myo gesture control armband. They were very early with this product too, and from what I had read, most of that team got acquired/absorbed into Magic Leap
