I think it could be argued that the Mac contributes nearly nothing to Apple's current trillion-dollar valuation. If the Mac was spun out into it's own business it would be lucky to crest a $100B market cap.
Have you at least opened Activity Monitor to confirm that Zed is the issue? Often times a misbehaving LSP, broken hardware acceleration or mdworker_shared can impact your system's performance.
Running Zed on Linux has gotten pretty good for my uses. It flies on my shitty dual-core netbook, maybe I haven't updated to the same build as you have...?
> I look forward to their version of Nvidia GPUs at half the price.
Arguably China doesn't have the technology required to manufacture 30-series GPUs with the yield or unit cost Nvidia did. I wouldn't hold my breath for Chinese silicon to outperform Nvidia's 40 or 50 series cards any time soon.
I really don't. Notion is one of those tools that entrepreneurs gravitate towards for it's simplicity, and then engineers rip out for being a parasite. At the end of the day it's an overpriced CMS that can very easily be replaced by any number of different alternatives. Their "taste" is just as overrated and overpriced as Apple's is.
And I'll be damned if Tanta isn't having his tweets used for training Elon's AI. The parochial circle regresses as it goes around, I'm done acknowledging the make-believe barriers we pretended the internet clung to.
You post it, others consume it. Same as it ever was.
The situation didn't change when it was search index crawlers being called-out. At the end of the day, this sort of "abuse" is native to the world of the internet; like you said, it's decades old at this point.
HN will cheer on a lot of things that are counter-intuitive to their wellbeing; open-weight models doesn't feel like one of them. You can't protest AI (or search engines) because after long enough people can't do their job without them. The correct course of action is to name-and-shame, not write pithy engineering blogs begging people to stop. People won't stop.
Hell, even Perfect Dark before that. I'm not one to defend Halo as the most-innovative, especially with the disproportionate amount of funding and manpower that went into it.
That being said, I think Halo deserves commendation for bringing a lot to the mainstream without compromise. The same people that casually enjoyed Halo were probably not also playing Goldeneye or Arma in their free time. And marketing be damned, Halo is fun even today. Hopping in a match of CE makes me lament how little team-based shooters have progressed in the past 20 years.
I'm a hardcore Quake/Unreal apologist, but you gotta hand something to Halo and Halo 2. Gorgeous shader-based graphics for the time, vehicles, absurd arsenals, wide-open maps, and 16 player(!!!) LAN play. It's a game that would have sold like gangbusters on PC, and was only that much more successful for being well-supported on console too.
One might even argue that the success of Halo is what forced arena shooters like Counter Strike and Team Fortress to evolve or die. There was more at stake after it released, and outside the competitive circles there wasn't much demand for the FPS equivalent of Wheaties.
