Could you elaborate? I just looked at the screenshots on https://www.apple.com/os/macos/, but did not see anything too different from the previous version.
In terms of artistic quality, perhaps. In terms of expected future royalties, I think Queen would be an order of magnitude more valuable than most artists.
Most of the articles I read about this is about showing that going all-European is possible at all. If that feels like it’s an us vs. them thing, I’m not sure how I could change your mind.
There’s room for both pragmatic and idealistic solutions in most cases. Sometimes the rules of the game change on short notice, and being in the right place at the right time makes all the difference.
While I see your point, I think AI may be banned in those universes for the same reason that time-travelling devices tend to be written out of sci-fi and fantasy: Stories are better without them. (If one counts the ever unfolding history of the world as a story, my counter-point actually validates your original point. Touché.)
I agree that the locking down is truly stupid. For what it’s worth, the reasoning for locking down mobile apps is allegedly that mobile users are a less technologically competent demographic than desktop users. I do not think so myself, given the difficulty in trying Graphene vs. Desktop Linux.
Which local AI do you use? I am local-curious, but don’t know which models to try, as people mention them by model name much less than their cloud counterparts.
I think that this summary is oversimplifying: The rest of the blog post elaborates on how the author and Masley has a completely different interpretation of that bullet point list. The rest of the text is not only examples; it provides elaborations of what thought processes led him to his conclusions. I found the nuancing of the two opposing interpretations, not the conclusion, the most enjoyable part of the post.
(This comment could also be shortened to “that’s oversimplifying”. I think my longer version is both more convincing and enjoyable.)
I have experienced a positive return on investment from using Nix Darwin and devenv.sh since getting a new Mac two years ago. Did not spend too much time learning neither.
Perhaps I’m naive, but buying from an IKEA (in Norway) or another big store feels less risky than buying something handmade.
Several people are involved in making every product at IKEA. At least one of them must be an expert in compliance. They can expect scrutiny and product recalls, fines and bad sales if they’re found out.
The one person making the hand-made spoon does not necessarily know all the environmental regulations that should be followed.
