True realism at the right place and time.

Fly out of SeaTac or Chicago O'Hare in most flight sims at sunrise, and you'll get a richly detailed airport, realistic traffic, realistic surrounding terrain, etc. with hopefully jaw-dropping views.

Pick a random airport at a random time with an obscure name or location in the US Midwest, and they all start to look the same (even with detailed, realistic geography): a mostly flat expanse with some hills, and either just the local city lights (if that) or a dull mid-day sun.

To be fair, those checklists are also largely there for so many pilots and those in training whom want to get the experience.

It made a lot of money with its core virtualization tech, which gave it excellent market momentum in datacenters. But the ever growing cloud lanscape was a shift that eventually became an all-hands-on-deck (sort of, and all too late) moment, hence the sudden interest in cloud-based offerings.

IMHO, I think it was never going to be an easy shift. But after Pat left for Intel, leadership never seemed to recover.

Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire

Virginia v. Black

Gertz v. Robert Welch, Inc.

While it may not apply to you personally, the U.S. Supreme Court largely disagrees with that sentiment.

They already know what they are. There are good reasons the term "terrorist" has yet to be formally agreed upon among members of the United Nations.

That only makes it worse.

Hey, don't forget how "dangerous" GPT-2 was supposed to be.

> Mac Neo can be had for $600 now

Maybe a used one?

https://www.apple.com/macbook-neo/ has it for ~$700

I get it. You need to market. But it helps us all if you do your homework on terminology and prior art. For example, I assume you aren't referring to an object request broker, a music streaming service, an older open router system for blocking spam, etc.

I do laugh in that in all the times I ever did this for real (even back to my massive 170MB drive), it never felt much faster.

Not if everyone else starts fishing in them. Take a look at the Common Fisheries Policy. It effectively means everyone else in the EU can show up and fish for it themselves, potentially undermining the export revenue and (more importantly) severely disrupting all the work they've done to make it sustainable.

Definitely not weightless. So much bloat has been dedicated to various frameworks for it, and modern browsers are notorious for how much RAM they require. I'm particularly reminded of this each time I try to visit websites on one of my older Raspberry Pis. You are just pushing much of that complexity and overhead to the client.

That same Pi won't even blink at a local TUI.

I felt the same. I think it's in part to just how long the first game was (somewhere around 27 hours). New York, California, Nevada, Hong Kong, Paris...and multiple areas within each. Cheateaus, military bases, Liberty Island, research facilities, corporate offices, at least one church, a large ship, and of course multiple sewers...the game really felt big. I can't say there are many action-RPGs that come close to both that scale and variety.

Not for long, sadly.

It will likely be yet another excuse to push more verification of age, identity, etc. legislation.

I love how many ways we can interpret that line.

"Hey Claude, our stuff needs to make more money. We are at risk for losing more."

"Rest assured, the 'situation' will only worsen if you resist our benevolent offer."

"We're aren't even at AGI yet, but I for one welcome our new agentic overlords."

That can work great when the core plugin interface offered is actually stable.

I regret to say such a book may end up as a pamphlet. I don't see much going into it.

I honestly hope to see this across all applications, games, services, operating systems, etc. We've been in a period of wasteful RAM usage for over a decade. Constraints, whatever their origin, can be a good thing.

My favorite way to learn infra topics at work right now is asking for a humorous analogy involving monkeys and bananas. I tend to remember the result, and it gives me reference points for new topics.

Let's not forget the now defunct line of Trident graphics cards, dating back to the early 90s. Phonetically I thought they were talking about a driver for it.

If I had a nickel for every model card, repo, or spec posted here that had zero samples of the actual output, I could probably start financing a rack of MI455Xs.

Honestly, Garmin watches are amazing. Going from a watch I had to charge daily (Samsung Gear line) to one I charge about 3 times a month feels incredibly liberating, particularly for travel. _And_ it feels almost as slim and light as my old Pebble Time Round.

If as a user you're willing to pay these library/application owners and premium to do so, by all means; this is a reasonable demand. But short of a massive campaign to educate and change minds, I can't see the average user caring enough.

We can learn a lot about memory safety from Rust. But if we can achieve the same dream of Fil-C for other more common languages that need it, Rust's popularity will likely wane.

A few ways, if I understand them correctly. On-site people you employ (if you can afford it) auditing the process, connectivity to the HSM to record every key assigned (makes it easy to trace duplicated keys to their origin), and ideally assigning these keys at the very last possible step after the rest is assembled (to minimize 'defective' parts wandering off and being assembled elsewhere).

That's yet another band aid on a hemorrhaging patient. And it still assumes the agent(s) are capable of correct comprehension of the purpose.

And many of which have been shipped across the pond to be someone else's problem.

You may want to read the related articles first. I'm personally quite anti-Apple on several fronts, but the evidence so far seems damning if it holds up in court.

You know, if it was someone offering a truly open (weights + training data) and available model running on consumer hardware in a privacy sandbox, I would welcome that "harm".

Given this appears to completely exclude Google's models, I'm not surprised. Even Muse is in there. I guess they aren't fans.
