you make a very valid point. I will adjust my view of things and take into consideration all said here, as it really makes sense from particular perspective.

Speaking of impressions and feelings (which are bollocks at the at of the day) - I don't feel like MS has slowed down, and nor does Apple

the original source has quite a derogate title, good thing this one survived the vote better.

fresh (most likely) automatically reversed and dev'd port of the Propellerhead Software (now Reason Studios) legendary RB-338 software, now working on all major platforms.

and then there's the middle ground of ai-generated code generating media... also very obscure to detect, isn't it?

cause there was Coffee Script, also, right?

then it needs reinventing, and nobody seems to be in position to do so atm imho

Well they probably knew it all back in 2017 so I’m sure are very well prepared to pivot into whatever comes next.

Indeed the system is all of it - all gear on another level of abstraction where it as a whole is just enabling processes, not the thing running it.

Someone’s surely doing it atm we just don’t know yet. And then we scan all books but the stuff stays local. Perhaps possible, perhaps not. But I don’t see why everyone could not run given the epoch on his content only, reporting back findings (loss).

the notion of "quality" equals very much luxury for many many people... and last time I checked some 90% of the peoples of the world were not concern with it (the lux), but with making ends meet. all opportunities arising would be taken immediately, and if some kid can play a game for 5EUR and likes it, even not the certified origins, his father would not rush to get the 80EUR one (and particularly if he can afford to summon, or like prompt, something workable into existence).

same for many forms of media, and for a lot of physical objects such as luxury items fakes. and we're talking utility here, so I bet lots of people use counterfeit electric equipment because it just works.

of course then comes ingenuity and community, but copyright is so dead, that it cannot be resurrected meaningfully at all perhaps at this moment.

"Valve ought to be funding lawsuits against these bootleggers." - yeah good luck on that. no legal framework exists and they actually benefit from it the same way Spotify and YouTube does. In a way they all welcome this move, and eventually may require you to pay on top for them to inform you of slop alongside banners. Otherwise you get the whole package and tis all business as usual.

I’ll wait for it to surface on eBay in few years and then consider again. Pretty sure many of these go in the hands of people who can never make good use of all the nice hardware in it.

Escape codes are the new html for browsers now called terminal emulators. What a wonderful time to be alive, but very suspicious also :D

What he does not say, but imply is that IBM's open models are also good. And they are.

Nice overview of actual trend myself also finds part of with gadgets around.

how's this in the news, I mean I don't get it. C++ had futures for at least 10 years now?

Tell me tis not AI, cause it sure as hell looks like one.

Very simple - you don't see it because it does not get released. What you see get released, though, most people would not register so fast on their radars. And it is very bold to say "no, I don't see how antirez is puttin LLMs to work" or something along the line. Well, very often you don't see most of such people's work until it's literally everywhere. Llama.cpp a good example of such software, and yes, it accepts LLM-assisted code.

When I forecasted open-source is going down because nobody wants to expose himself only to be robbed off credit and authorship, he did not initially understand what the claim was. Two years now.

they may well be busy surviving AI induced chain reactions letting lots of people out of work.

yes precisely. but many been warning (myself including) against this, but also understanding the inevitability of it.

DUB opened the portal to outer dimensions for people too afraid of LSD. They emerge pretty much at the same time, and also DUB is quite psychedelic on its own.

Chicken/poultry?

welcome thinking tokens, buy buy observe-ability

perhaps you're right, things evolve. sadly i need to target more nvidia for production, so mac stuff is still second level of concern, though indeed very promising, and oerhas for increasing amount of tasks.

Saw it the other day on twitter, and wondered why is it not part a of the ArtCraft :D Perhaps they didn't realize this ArcPro thing exists. Jokes aside, the rewrite may pave door for many people actually turning to this workflow, and to an actually working GIS software.

Most of the GIS people I know, and I really know some, are totally oblivious about the underlying magic of QGIS or ArcPRO, and many of them would happily go away from both for many reasons.

Mind U - ArcPRO is also an ecosystem, no only maps layer, is actually an ERP of sorts, when tied with the ArcServer and the rest in their design. But is quite heavy, super bloated (ArcPRO brings own Python, Postgres, Java, and perhaps the whole proj+geos libs also and whatnot).

yes, and you can do alike. no need to wait for big boys to integrate this stuff. but the game changer is that few years ago one had to comply with weird Python 2.x running within Blender/Scribus/QGIS/etc. and most of the times only some of the functionalities are properly wired/exposed. the actual promise of these packages would be to be able to fully script the whole thing, and this is something that people behind ArtCraft should look into - expose the Rust magic to some common automation layer.

In all honesty - COM+ is a very smart thing, sadly not everyone understood it, and most new software packages are cloud-native before all else and dont' have it. Using the integrated (internal) scripting layers is not always so easy. But what does even 'easy' mean in 2026 automated coding. It was hard 5 years ago and 9 years ago when I last did such automations, nowadays this all has a very different perspective.

And let me remind you - there are dozens of "background removal" websites, and many of them are profitable. So you can imagine the level of comprehension for technology the general population has (at this moment, perhaps will advance rapidly also).
