What is sketchy about it? I think you know something the rest of us don't.

Leaving is not the hard decision. The hard decision is where to go. Do you have any suggestions?

I don’t think that would have worked. Parents buy phones for their kids since the kids can’t buy them. What would the choices be? Give them a phone or not give them a phone. I don’t think society is ready for that kind of choice anymore.

> Can I run something comparable to Opus 4.6 locally yet?

Sadly, no. The best comparable thing you can get is about Sonnet 3.7

> It was still better than the competition

Plenty of cases where Surface isn't. Microsoft like to think they can make hardware but they're no better than other OEM and it's clearly not a focus for them

For the uninitiated, Service Processor (SP) is just another kind of Baseboard Management Controller.

Can you elaborate more on this? All I see is growing inequality.

Still an amazing hack today and I love it. However, I heard Apple are developing a touch screen MacBook this year, and I simply don't get why they're doing that. I don't know what's worse, the ergonomics or the fingerprints.

Implementations include seL4, Barrelfish, Google Fuchsia OS, Capsicum, and a slew of research systems too long to list. It's also worth checking out tangential things like the E programming language and Google's old Caja project.

Good work. I'm happy to see this for Redox. There are numerous implementations of capabilities now, and they confirm that the concept really does simplify access control and sandboxing.

I also miss the all-capitals ARM spelling. I think they've never been the same since they've changed that, since around the same time their business strategy went from sensible to nonsense.
