Have you seen the pico8 software?

I have now!

I think search and chat are decent products as well. I am a Google subscriber and I just use Gemini as a replacement for search without ads. To me, this movement accelerated paid search in an unexpected way. I know the detractors will cry "hallucinations" and the ilk. I would counter with an argument about the state of the current web besieged by ads and misinformation. If people carry a reasonable amount of skepticism in all things, this is a fine use case. Trust but verify.

I do worry about model poisoning with fake truths but dont feel we are there yet.

In my use, hallucinations will need to be a lot lower before we get there, because I already can't trust anything an LLM says so I don't think I could even distinguish a poisoned fake truth from a "regular" hallucination.

I just asked ChatGPT 4o to explain irreducible control flow graphs to me, something I've known in the past but couldn't remember. It gave me a couple of great definitions, with illustrative examples and counterexamples. I puzzled through one of the irreducible examples, and eventually realized it wasn't irreducible. I pointed out the error, and it gave a more complex example, also incorrect. It finally got it on the 3rd try. If I had been trying to learn something for the first time rather than remind myself of what I had once known, I would have been hopelessly lost. Skepticism about any response is still crucial.

speaking of search without ads, I wholeheartedly recommend https://kagi.com

I'll second this. Kagi is really impressive and ad-free is a nice change.

I can't even count how many times that I've had the DRY vs. verbosity of code conversation in trying to norm a team.

I'm in the camp of a little verbosity and repetition for the sake of clarity is worth it.

Also remote play is amazing!

Chiaki for the SteamDeck is amazing. I love playing Bloodborne on the go.

Really? The logo is literally a cartoon and there is a more friendly version if you choose to look.

I suppose an overweight penguin is more apt for that audience. I digress.

I feel like you are correct while thinking Apple's stance is the smarter play. My family ditched the entire Amazon ecosystem because Alexa was so utterly useless. Keeping people generally happy and entertained creates a positive mentality on the entire company as a whole. Let me tell you, having the kids on board is huge and prob a missed opportunity. You could literally be training kids to be little Amazon shills if this was done right. Mine loved talking to Alexa and then she got less and less intelligent and we swapped to Google's products -- same story there. Now it is pretty much a weather-bot and that is all.

Am I missing something or is this a pile of dark patterns to drive you to a paid product?

Did you actually read the article? The conclusion is exactly what you state. No big deal. It's just a meandering and fun read. YMMV.

I got the sense that he’s speaking of the same people the author of the post is speaking of in the article, not the author himself

I don’t want to make more of it than it is, but reader mode cut that part out for me.

Most people who doesn’t run a Mac don’t care much about “models that don't fit into VRAM on macOS.”

this part of the announcement specifically mentions macOS
