A few of us still remembers option 3) Regulation And also 4) Properly working anti-trust laws.
Important to look as good as possible on the end of the year report…
“why not both?”
Indeed.
Breach of trademark, not copyright, whole different barrel of fish.
Quote me after dealing with print drivers acting up and spooler service crashes for the nth time that day (also worked in it support for several years):
“We can land men on the moon, but somehow getting a printer, a technology that has existed litteraly since before computers had screens, to work is still complete and utter black magic…!”
Love it so far on my phone.
On my tablet I really wish there was a “2-pane post view” as in spreading the posts out across my tablet screen to view more at the same time. (see for instance thunder for an 3xample on how this could look)
While I appreciate the intent behind the tablet view in sync it doesn’t suit my needs as much as just scrolling through more posts would do. :)
This is what scares me the most.
I absolutely agree that they need to “play it safe” this time.
But for their consoles they have had a “it’s not worth launching something unless it’s really innovative” philosophy for quite some time. And if they decide on some bonkers idea that screws with my simple wish, a better switch, I think I’m going to be disappointed.
And I say this as a guy who has loved Nintendo and their products since I got my NES back in the 90s. I stood in line to get the Wii at launch, heck I even liked my Wii U. (Even if it was under powered and confusingly marketed, I liked that they tried to do something new…)
But this time Nintendo, just stick to a good, solid, backwards compatible , iteration on your original idea.
This.
Anyone who looks into this tech properly, beyond sensationalist headlines made to draw readers or outrageous claims to attract investors sees this emperor as the naked illusion that it is.
It’s a great tool for what it’s good at (generating convincing text outputs). And completely useless at others.
The risk to jobs currently are owners and managers with little to no knowledge trying to actually replace their employees with llms. These are companies setting them selves up for amazing and spectacular failure at this point in the game.
It’s impossible to say how this will play out in the long run but currently it’s interesting as a research tool, a tool for saving time when writing texts etc etc.
What happens when clever people integrate these models with other systems in intelligent and responsible ways is going to be interesting to follow.
Currently the most important thing to emphasize with AI is that a lot of the coverage and general writing on the subject matter is filled with misconceptions about how the technology works and what it is capable of. It’s full on hypecycle season.
I’m currently deep diving into AI and specifically LLMs to strengthen my ability to give respondible advice about it and to explain it in an understandable manner to our bosses and decision makers at work.
There are lots of great deep dives and explainers out there all ready and a few manage to get the fundamentals right without going completely bonkers technical as well… but the (and I hate using this word as it’s being abused way to much) main stream media is not a source with even a grain of propper comprehension when it comes to what this technology is (and perhaps even more important isn’t).
This is the video I currently recommended to get a good start at the subject of llms: https://youtu.be/-4Oso9-9KTQ
It is general enough for most people to follow but detailed enough to burst the biggest illusions on the subject.
Still miss my pebble…
Rocked a Garmin a few years, now I’m trying galaxy watch 5 pro. Miss the week long battery but 2+ days is “ok”, a lot less annoying then I first thought it would be.
Exelent integration with my phone is a big plus. (For instance the Garmin never let me respond to alarms from the Samsung clock app :/ )

Virtual environments are really not viable for music production. Latency and other inconsistensies makes it a no-go.
High level Music production requires very low audio and input latency in addition to consistent and 100% accurate sound reproduction.
A virtual environment is a wildcard here that I at least would not bother trying to make work. (Not saying it can’t be done, just saying it would potentially be a big headache and extremely conditioned on spesific hardware, drivers and configuration settings.)
