The quiet part once again being said out loud.

Not really, it’s just that my area of expertise changes and shifts over time.

ChatGPT 4o is the top dog right now, by a lot.

Mac has always felt more like mine than Windows. Nothing has changed there.

And neither holds a candle to the pure, blinding, white light that is Linux. GNOME, KDE, the world is your oyster and the desktop is your choice.

Depends on what you mean by that. PTs can use chiropractic techniques to great effect.

But there is a MASSIVE difference between an actual PT that sometimes uses specific chiropractic techniques and the con artists who try to shake your down for weekly neck cracks.

Red ones.

I’m in California and I’ve been NPA (No Party Affiliation) for almost my entire voting-age life. So NPA is an option… at least in some states.

So it DOES have a passive-aggressive mode!!!

I want that game - exactly as it is - but with new, modern graphics. AC+AX is about as perfect as a game can possibly get. Just needs a fresh coat of paint.

If only we had a word for an intentionally “false claim”… maybe we could call it something like “falclay”… or maybe just “lie”, for short.

Gen Z likes to invent slang. Let’s make this “lie” thing happen. What do you say, WaPo?

The Mist

That ending was one of the most brilliant gut-punches in film history. Stephen King himself said he wished he had written it.

I’ve been using Sunshine for Linux with Moonlight on my AVP and that works great. The native Moonlight port for AVP is still very much a buggy, crashy WIP, but the iPad version is a decent enough standby.

Honestly, using virtual Mac Display on AVP is so, so, so good, that I want that functionality everywhere… from any and all of my devices. Sunshine + Moonlight is currently the most promising path forward, IMO.

…SpaceOS, which is a built on top of Google’s ChromiumOS…

I’m out.

Linux is… right there. It’s right there.

I don’t just mean DLSS or frame generation as it exists today… I mean completely re-interpreting what is rendered before it’s displayed with complete temporal and deterministic consistency. Given that we’ve seen some demos of the concept in action, and that was over a year ago, I really don’t think it’s far off, either.

Imagine booting up classic Monkey Island, and Nvidia’s AI reinterpreted makes it look like a high-end modern animated TV show. That’s the kind of thing I’m talking about.

It’s a matter of time before we can use real-time AI upscalers. Nvidia (et al) have been working on this quite a bit.

In the mean time, the two options you mentioned are it.

I’m surprised it scores that well.

Well, ok… that seems about right for languages like JavaScript or Python, but try it on languages with a reputation for being widely used to write terrible code, like Java or PHP (hence having been trained on terrible code), and it’s actively detrimental to even experienced developers.

And tomatoes. Tomatoes used to be amazing. Even the worst ones were amazing.

Now they just taste like “wet”. If you want a good tomato you have to track down lovingly and carefully bred heirloom plants and grow them yourself.

All those different kinds of banana. All we get is cabendish which is, like, the worst of all the amazing banana varieties.

They’re readily available in the LA area. You just need to visit an asian specialty market.
