On: First MacBook Neo Benchmarks Are In

[caro_kann]

It's wild that iPhone 16 Pro has better benchmark than macBook Air. I think this Neo is gonna be a good sell, especially among students and people don't do heavy stuff and just need decent laptop.

I haven't used v0 or replit before, I have the same feelings as you. But I've been thinking about building macOS apps for my personal use for a long time now. Also I'm a long time Raycast user. I have a bias here, so I've joined the waitlist, I can't be sure until I try, right?

Just build Mac apps then. Claude Code can help you whip up real native apps without any Glaze dependencies just fine. I’ve built 4 Mac and iOS apps in the last 6 months for my own use. I even have my own HN app for iOS and Mac.

Even if you don't like Electron, I was able to get Claude to build Electrobun and Tauri apps as well. I don't understand what benefit Glaze will bring outside of more lock-in?

On: How far back in time can you understand English?

[caro_kann]

As a non-native and I could understand only down to 1500s. And it sounded (read?) like scottish for me.

On: uBlock filter list to hide all YouTube Shorts

I think this is the best way of using Youtube if you're trying to avoid brain rot and doomscrolling. This way helped me alot and gives you full control over what you consume.

On: The struggle of resizing windows on macOS Tahoe

When I saw the first liquid glass demo I decided not to upgrade both my phone and macbook for couple of years to come till they fix it.

On: Ask HN: What skills do you want to develop or improve in 2026?

[caro_kann]

Looks like I'm in that path you've already passed. From January I have to learn CDK because my current job requires me to do. Also planning on to obtain those AWS Cloud Certificates.

On: Show HN: I scraped 3B Goodreads reviews to train a better recommendation model

[caro_kann]

I tried three different genre books, for each I got 1984 - George Orwell recommendation.

On: Why Are So Many New Cars' Gear Selectors So Stupid?

[caro_kann]

It seems replacing every knob and physical buttons with just one big screen is much cheaper for car manufacturers.

On: Delete FROM users WHERE location = 'Iran';

[caro_kann]

It's easy to be on the moral high ground when you don't have to risk anything.

Ironic considering that we are talking about Western sanctions.

On: macOS Tahoe

[caro_kann]

I hope they'll acknowledge what they've done and fix most of this nonsense. I like macOS how it is right now, and I switched from Linux partly for this. I always wonder why don't they just add new stuff based on user feedback?
