Hi Gruber.

Gruber shows here that he really doesn’t understand the basics of how LLM text generation works. It’s weird he picked this battle about the quality of writing in LLMs. Was he planning to use LLMs to write his articles?
Well, not that weird actually. He just has a hard-on against anything that comes from the EU since Apple got in trouble. If the EU said tomorrow that they want peace in the world he’d be in Fox News the next day calling for an invasion. As a former reader of Daring Fireball, it’s just sad to see.

I don’t understand the obsession the Americans have with claiming that we hate AC. Europe is not a country. There are countries where AC is more used. Here in Spain it’s common. It’s probably less common in other, less hot countries. Besides heat, countries with a lower GDP probably have less ACs installed than richer countries. So probably France have more AC-per-capita than Moldova, my guess is that something similar happens if you compare California with Mississippi. It depends. We have nothing against AC as a technology.

Every programming language attempts to expand until it becomes C++. Those languages which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can.

Valve can't step up because they would lose.

>In 2022 Nintendo starting taking down Youtube videos showing Steam Decks running Switch games: https://www.resetera.com/threads/nintendo-started-blocking-v...
What are they supposed to do? Leave videos about piracy of their own IP untouched?
It baffles me how people believe they have a fundamental right to pirate Nintendo software without consequences.

Didn't Apple made a comprehensive list of requirements for alternative web browsers and web browser engines so they are secure and don't compromise the user's security? (https://developer.apple.com/support/alternative-browser-engi...)
I'm a little confused. So that long list of requirements is useless for PWAs?
Some people will actually believe this. I'm utterly disgusted by Apple and their arrogance regarding the DMA, and the way they've managed all of this. My perception of them has completely changed. However, they seem very obedient when China asks them to censor apps or, for example, limit AirDrop when there's a protest going on.

I see he's emulating Nintendo Switch games, which is a game console actually being sold, same as the games. I see no mention of him actually buying the games he's emulating, so this effectively is piracy.

> they provide little to prevent unknown bugs bing exploited
They provide plenty of mitigations (https://www.openbsd.org/innovations.html). In fact OP's article is for preventing unknown bugs from being exploited.

Not my experience at all, it works very well with a new Acer laptop I own: the graphics work (Intel Xe - 12th gen processor), audio, touchpad, keyboard (and special keyboard keys like brightness), wifi... All I had to do is to download the firmware with fw_update, nothing more.
Also I was pleasantly surprised to hear they support Apple M1/M2 Macs. Asahi Linux gets a lot of press around here but I had no idea OpenBSD supported it.

GNOME applications look so... mobile. Large controls, large title bars that lack maximize/minimize, simplistic layouts. It might be good for this kind of frontend apps but I can't see software like Krita or KDEnlive being done for GTK4/GNOME as of today (for reference: https://kdenlive.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/01/271174170_10...)

> It's clearly a reaction to the civil war in the RedHat world.
The date of the announcement is January 2022 so it can't be that.
