The marginal extra disk spaces used by flatpak really isn’t a concern for most users, much less valve. If you do everything in flatpak and your apps only use current runtime versions, the additional space used by flatpak is in the megabytes, since libraries like libc are going to be on your host no matter what.

Owning a current gen Apple TV, there really isn’t that much more to shrink before it is in the stick format.

What do you have against pages and numbers

I wouldn’t be surprised if the amount of power drawn overnight when a processor is in sleep mode ends up being less than the power it takes to boot the device.

The magnet and the charging coil aren’t the same afaik. They’re located together since their functionality is linked, but ultimately they are separate.

When OS X was released, half the point was that they were now a compatible Unix system using interoperable standards.

If it’s anything like ChromeOS, it’ll be a VM where you can do whatever you want, within that VM.

I don’t believe so, I think it is chrome and edge only (besides safari of course). You could still manually copy-paste the passwords but of course that’s not as convenient.

I just recently imported all my passwords from Bitwarden to passwords. It’s been smooth sailing so far, very happy with my choice. If you have any specific questions I might be able to answer them.

Not that this changes anything really, but the memory apple is using is much faster than DDR4 you can buy retail, they’re not really comparable. The closest thing would be the new DDR5 CAMM modules, but even these are not quite the same thing. Again, none of this invalidates the basic principle that Apple charges way too much for memory upgrades.

Seems insanely impractical to do this for those purposes. It is possible to run macOS in a VM, which is going to be way better for testing things if you don’t have access to anything better.

In the branding, but the name of the installed applications in the UI do not contain “gnome”.

Is gnome that bad? They seem to have been moving away from weird names for many years now.

Yep. On kbin I think any user can too.

This seems kinda reasonable for what it is? It’s not the usual kiosk device that other companies have tried, it is just a touchscreen on the top of a cylindrical speaker. Probably will let you access most of the same controls already present but now with a UI capable of giving better feedback.

You don’t need to wonder, Apple has said as much that their AI is built on LLMs, just like everybody else. While hallucinations are still a major unsolved problem, that doesn’t mean they aren’t able to be reduced in frequency and severity. A ChatGPT like chatbot is going to hallucinate because you’re asking it to give extremely open ended responses to literally any query. The more data you feed it in the prompt, and the more you constrain its output, the less likely it is to hallucinate. It’ll likely be extremely rare that using the grammar check or rephrasing tools in Apple AI will be affected by hallucinations for that reason. Siri is more comparable to ChatGPT with regards to open ended questions, but it’s likely that they will integrate LLMs primarily for transforming inputs and outputs rather than the whole process. For example, the LLM could be prompted to call a function based on the user’s query. Then, that function finds a reliable result, either using existing APIs for real time information like weather, or using another LLM with a search engine. The output from this truth-finding process is then fed back into an LLM to generate the final output. The role of the LLM is heavily constrained at every step of the way, which is known to minimize hallucinations.

You arguing that this is an unsolvable problem is defeatist and not helpful to actually mitigating the real issue.

Arguably this is why some people don’t bother with a VM and use the web apps instead.

VSCode’s vim plugin is pretty great for full-color graphical terminal users

The part you’re missing is that while C++ does have newer safer ways of doing memory management, all the old ways are still present, in wide use, and are easier. Basically, C++ makes it easy to do the wrong thing and hard to do the right thing, and most codebases are built around the wrong things. It’s often easier to just rewrite it in rust than it is to refactor an existing code base, so if you’re going to expend that effort why not do it in a language that has stronger safety guarantees, a better dependency and build management system, and a growing community?

As a person who has been managing Linux servers for about a decade now, trust me that a few hours or days of learning docker now will save you weeks if not months in the future. Docker makes managing servers and dealing with updates trivial and predictable. Setting everything up in docker compose makes it easy to recover if something fails, it’s it’s self documenting because you can quickly see exactly how your applications are configured and running.
