Similarly on the higher end, I want to run linux on Apple Macbook laptops.

I do this nonstop using the UTM app in Apple Silicon virtualization, not QEMU, mode. I've done this from M2, M2 Max, and M5 machines, it basically wraps the hypervisor.framework (or the current name) and i had used Asahi on an M1 before that.

With UTM wrapping hypervisor.framework, i have a complete fullscreen desktop running Linux (i use fedora earlier but Arch the last several months) with full graphics as if it were on a dedicated host.

Because it's running in an Apple Silicon hypervisor, i have macos tahoe running concurrently on separate desktops: no dual booting unlike when i was using Asahi.

I haven't looked to see if i can access graphics hardware directly or if it's hidden behind a virtio layer in UTM's wrapping of the hypervisor.framewirk.


people have gotten this to work (for a sufficiently sketchy definition of work) for linux run in QEMU at least.

in particular, the conclusion of that article is "You can run cyberpunk 2077 on a M4 macbook air w/ a 5090 eGPU".


That looks completely esoteric, incredible stuff.

Are you able to play Steam games?

never tried so I don't know. it's easy for you to fire it up and try though

It’s surprisingly good to do with full screen and the Apple hvm is very nice. Don’t let the experimental tag scare you.

Isn't there Asahi Linux that boots on Apple Silicon? Never tried it, but people here on HN mention it from time to time.

There is but it lags behind the latest apple hardware.

Asahi only supports M1, M2, and alpha support for M3.

Not that I blame them for the lag, there's a lot of reversing work because apple doesn't document this stuff.


Leave the drivers/power management to the optimized OS and do your work in VM ?

This will not save you from things like this:

US markets will keep superpositiong S-curves upon S-curves upon S-curves. Just as Elon Musk does with his companies. Just ask Tesla/SpaceX bulls.

Chamath says Warren Buffett outperformed the $SPX by 2 times pre-2000’s because he used "insider info".

Berkshire Hathaway completely exited its investment in Paytm (One97 Communications) in November 2023. This divestment occurred just two months prior to the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) initiating its strict regulatory and KYC-related crackdowns on Paytm Payments Bank in early 2024.

I think Warren has been doing insider trading.


We Uncovered a Hidden Wealth Transfer in the SpaceX IPO. You're Holding the Bag.

There is video explaining the process


I’ve always suspected the “index funds are the safest investment” system is ripe for exploitation.

It was much safer before the indexes decided to throw off all the safety hurdles designed to make sure stocks were relatively healthy and the price was reasonably well settled before they were included. And the core idea that a random investor probably can't reliably pick stocks that will out perform the broad indexes is probably going to remain true, even at the high evaluation SpaceX is a relatively small piece of the total index, it's just disasterous for public trust to see the safe guards thrown down like this imo.

if you're invested in a broadly diversified index you can be annoyed by this thing, but it won't impact you a lot.

E.g. if you owned something based on MSCI ACWI, which is free float weighted and global, SpaceX will end up being less than 1% of your portfolio even at a trillion dollar valuation.

It's just NASDAQ which is complicit in this scam by overweighting SpaceX.


Thanks. That's pretty shady and grim :(


There is a reason why Google has tpu8i and tpu8t

More likely we will have a compute device like NAS or something which will run one good model locally for all the house members just like we have one wifi router in every house. Nvidia can invest in building such a device as well as the models and make money on the hardware.

Agreed. But there is a new dynamic coming to place. Who can execute faster now that we have AIs? I think the combination of (Good SWE using AIs) collaborating with (Domain Expert using AIs) is the winning team. Things are accelerating on all fronts, the frontier may be jagged but AIs is making progress on all capabilites.

Additional iterations are valuable, if and only if we learn from additional iterations. Otherwise we are just spinning our wheels.

Do you not do the md5 or sha hashes of the copied zip file?

That's ... what rsync is supposed to do for you.

zip file?...

I was syncing photos from my phone.


I have been using 4.8 and I have noticed this particular word being used a lot.

"differentia"

Others please confirm.


Another factor. TINA. There is no alternative.
