Because the process is the same. When you read a book you don‘t save it as a brain file, you form memories from it. Some people can recall verbatim bits here and there but I have never met someone regurgitating a book word for word. And I‘m pretty sure I can not ask ChatGPT to output the first chapter of Moby Dick word for word. I think that would be, rightfully, considered copyright infringement.

No one has to suddenly be able to afford a new car. The phase-out of combustion vehicles is for new vehicles. Old cars can still be driven.

You can[1].
I’m vibe coding a little macOS OCR app since last weekend, and I’m really happy with the results so far. This is my first app, so fingers crossed. If it becomes feature-complete and polished enough, I’m considering open sourcing it. There’s still a long way to go, though.

It is because of merit order. The most expensive generator of energy sets the price for all the energy.
Reference counting is not tracing garbage collection. To also quote a Wikipedia Link:
„The main advantage of the reference counting over tracing garbage collection is that objects are reclaimed as soon as they can no longer be referenced, and in an incremental fashion, without long pauses for collection cycles and with clearly defined lifetime of every object.“

Not in depth. I’m just a user of Crossover, I haven’t had time to try Whisky.
I think sometimes Codeweavers incorporates fixes for certain games into the app updates. Especially for the Steam app, for example. These appear in the changelogs.
I use Crossover with CXPatcher because I then can use more up-to-date versions of DXVK and GPTK. The update cycle of Crossover is a bit slow for what is going on in that space right now.

>I wish Apple would hire a team to properly maintain this, the way Valve has done with Proton and Steam Deck Verified.
Valve cooperated with Codeweavers, the makers of Crossover, to build Proton. And afaik Apple „works“ with Codeweavers. Well at least they don‘t get in the way to incorporate GPTK into Crossover. Apple changed the licence of GPTK so that Codeweavers can include GPTK.

The same could be true of Apple. But they aren’t „forced“ to release it. Apple wouldn’t release a competitor on the Web, they would build it into macOS/iOS/whateverOS. We will know when the WWDC starts.
