Do you use x64 emulation with UTM? If so, how's the performance?

No. It's all native Arm. In the UTM app, when creating a new VM, there's an option to say it's going to be "Linux" (generically at that point), which exposes a checkbox which allows you to specify use of Apple Silicon hypervisor.framework, and specifically _not_ x86 emulation.

I use hypervisor.framework, never use x86 emulation, and the result is great. Tested with both Fedora for ARM and Arch for ARM (perhaps CachyOS's bundling of Arch works there, but i did it lower level because i'm an old nerd).


This is what I thought, but idk why the literature about this is never clear that it's ARM Linux only.

which literature? (that question posed, i had to sleuth around to disambiguate oft repeated misinformation before figuring this all out)

I don't have it in front of me, have just seen conflicting info on a lot on articles about virtualization on Mac.

Well wait, UTM's official website clearly says it does support x86 if you're ok with the emu performance hit. Is that wrong?


that checkbox i mentioned above lets you choose to use native Apple ARM via the hypervisor.framework, or use Qemu which lets you do the x86 emulation?

It does support x86 at higher performance costs.

What framework offers all those auth features OOTB?


ASP .NET Core, Ruby on Rails, Django, .... the list goes on and on... The ones that don't usually someone built a package that lets it happen.

I remember Laravel with Socialite [0]. Laravel is what I usually reach for Web SaaS MVP. You only need a VPS and a managed database for testing out the market and can scale a lot without increasing expenses that much..

Take this post down immediately ! /jk

Lol, I developed for entrepreneurs who mostly wanted a working proof of concept of their ideas. I guess now you can vibecode them with SaaS for core technical needs.

That's assuming Google can outpace Nvidia, which may or never will. Nvidia is not just going to sleep on it.

Unfortunately, Zed is years behind VSCode in terms of polish, Microsoft supported LSPs just work better in VSCode, they are better integrated, and Zed can't do anything about LSPs memory or peformance.

> Zed is years behind VSCode in terms of polish

One could think that. But VSCode is the one that occasionally failed to simply render text.

No idea what happened these handful of times, but the UI was just completely screwed up, as if it were one of these "scratch to reveal" games, but with the file’s content (and unresponsive, obviously).


I tried VSCode some years ago (immediately moved to Codium) and yes, it is extremely well-done for what it is. But Zed is good enough for me. Everything I care about for Python, TS/JS/CSS and C programming is available. I do not even miss the JetBrains tooling for these.

I'm rooting for Zed but it does feel quite underbaked still right now.

Not sufficient. See the GitHub thread. It is tagging things even when AI features are disabled.

A personal Mac terminal emulator built for terminal-based AI work.

How exactly does it help with "terminal-based AI work"?


You're right to push back. It doesn't — he made it up.

...because it's a terminal emulator? I use it to run Claude Code?

Is the $200k just development or are the products being developed require AI?

We can tell. Scrolling on that website feels heavy and lags.

Ironic that the site has the most AI (over-)design ever.

You have to switch the reader mode on. :)

Silly apple. They should remove airdrop and tell users they have to rely on an internet connection and use whatsapp or email for quick, one-off file transfers between their iphones and macbooks.
