sounds like a very efficient way for an indie band to lose all of their street cred at once

how would they compare over 10-15 years though. with one you are able to swap out the motherboard when you want an upgrade and with the other you have to buy a completely new device.

then when it comes to repairing broken parts they are on opposite ends of the scale where apple actually go out of their way to make it harder for you to do that and its probably more expensive as well since only apple certified repair shops have access to certain parts

> the other you have to buy a completely new device.

You can sell the old Macbook and recoup a lot of the original investment.

jan.ai would be the ideal route to take here then. its open source, has a simple chat interface, it uses llama.cpp, it lets you search for models and downloads them, and it supports .gguf so youre not locked in if you want to use the models with another program later on

is davinci fusion not an after effects alternative? or is it not at the same level?

There’s crossover in that they both do compositing but AE uniquely has a lot of other things from the motion graphics side that just doesn’t exist anywhere else.

Does the integration of Krokodove into Resolve 21 close that gap at all?

In my experience, it's not easy as After Effects. Though for simple VFX, motion or animation is doable.

For me best alternative to AE is Blender.

Yeah this is the way. Blender has a higher learning curve than AE but it’s ultimately much better at actual 3d than AE is, and the recent improvements to the interface have made it a lot more usable.

well, just based off that group photo of the openclaw developer and the staff at openai, i wouldnt be surprised if there was some truth to this

tailscale has a feature called "funnel" that will let others connect to a service running on your tailnet, even if they dont use tailscale themselves

you can at least block some of it out with ublock origin?

I use a bookmarklet for this: https://github.com/dan-lovelace/hn-blocklist

It doesn’t matter if nobody votes interesting stuff out of /new because the rest of HN only cares about AI posts.

is Bitwig not as good as Ableton? ive never used Ableton so i wouldnt know, but Bitwig seems crazy good to me, especially compared to other DAWs on linux like Ardour or Reaper

If you already have an ableton license the thought of paying the same amount again sucks. Reaper is nice for all things recording though

just to piggyback off of this, theres also Pikapods (based in malta i think) that have about 100 or so self-hosted apps that can be installed with one-click and then you just pay depending on what you use. im more into self-hosting on my own hardware but its a nice option for people who want to get their feet wet or that dont have the time to manage a VPS themselves
