What Hacker News says
4 sourcesJFYI, for measuring power draw, you might be able to use `macmon`[0] to see the total system power consumption. The values reported by the internal current sensor seem to be quite accurate.

In Reliable 25 Gigabit Ethernet via ThunderboltHi. I've been working on this open-source projects last time:
ghstats[1] - self-hosted service to track & keep GitHub repos views (Rust)
macmon[2] - Apple M-series performance monitor in CLI with power metrics (Rust)
ecloop[3] - let say fast Bitcoin addresses checker by bloom filter (a lot of interesting math inside) (pure C)

In Ask HN: What are you working on (August 2024)?Show HN: Sudoless asitop alternative – CLI perf monitor for Apple Silicon
Hi. Would be happy to announce macmon, a sudoless tool for monitoring the performance of Apple Silicon processors. The program uses a private Apple API to get current metrics (just like the build-in powermetrics tool does) but does not require root privileges.
Useful to use together with local LLM models to see what is currently loaded (CPU / GPU / NPU aka ANE). Or in any other tasks where is necessary to see the current load of the system.
I will be glad to get feedback.
