I almost forgot that HPSS was a thing, thanks for the reminder.

Every European country has fields that are not suitable for agriculture that could be used for livestock.
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.

There is no Pantone Support in Adobe Software since 2022/2023.
It only adds to the others.
That is an interesting take. Now I probably can‘t unsee it.

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.“

There are multiple translation layers in between the game and the GPU. I don’t think this is a fair comparison.
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.

I second that, even closing the eyes for 10–15 min feels refreshing. Learned that when our kid was younger.
The anecdote is definitely „food for thought“. It became kind of a ritual for me to revisit the article every time a new US president gets into office.
My favorite story from Daniel Ellsberg is „The Limits of Knowledge“ in this Mother Jones article: https://www.motherjones.com/kevin-drum/2010/02/daniel-ellsbe...

We’ll that’s the thing. Windows is based around windows and macOS is based around applications. I get that you want to use macOS like you use windows but that is the historical usage of these UI.
Re:Apple bans ChatGPT use by employees, report says on Friday May 19, 2023 @11:54AM (#36003415)
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.
Voyager 2 had 11 instruments. 5 are still active. But still, it is a remarkable piece of technology.

You can disable autoplay when logged in the browser, the app will respect that setting.
That’s what they did. They just didn’t told anybody why they were doing it.
One can also press the lock button five times which has the same outcome.
