Some independant studio or publishers have their fans base : Amanita Design, Playdead, Zachtronics, Devolver Digital, Annapurna Interractive are for me the folk to watch.

I love and hate Apple as almost everyone else and have an iPad for 'consultation' only (reading, browsing, video), but on Android, you have IDEs for games dev (Godot), real android apps IDE (through F-Droid), Python, Java and C/C++ IDE (through Android Store) which are close enough of the Linux way...

So the iPad devices could handle that too if Apple allowed it...

Once Apple will enforce the European Union requirement to allow 'sideloading' on iPad, maybe we will be able to have nice things also on it.

That could also be a good thing for Apple himself. A lot of people in Europe have a bad opinion of Apple (partly?) because of the closed (walled) garden of iPad/iOS and other technology/IP which make their portable devices apart of the Android ecosystem.

> to put inference on edge devices...

It will take a long time before you can put performant inference on edge device.

Just download one of the various open source large(st) langage model and test it on your desktop...

Compute power and memory and storage requirements are insane if you want decent result... I mean not just Llama gibberish.

Until such requirement are satisfied, distant model are the way to go, at least for conversational model.

Aside llm, AlphaGo would not run on any end user device, by a long shot, even if it is an already 'old' technology.

I think 'neural engine' on end user device is just marketing nonsense at this current state of the art.

Sam is a kind of man who has a pair of 2 in hand and he's boasting he will make all-in if someone raise above his 20$ after 4-7-9 appears in flop.

The problem lies on electric grid capacity. If we're phasing out fossil fuel powered transportation, we will have to upgrade massivelly electricity productions well as in grid capacity.

Not China, New Zeeland... If rumors of wealthy people building doomsday bunkers there are true.

Which is equally useless as NZ is aligned with the US and so will not avoid the consequence in case of a conflit with the 'axis of "evil" countries'.

This will conflict with european RGPD Law.

Basically, the US senate legalize spying on foreign users of US company, even if europe (and other countries) forbid these companies to transmit their data on US server...

Unless Europe (and other countries) legalize access by 3 letters American agencies to european servers, american software and social media companies will face an irreconcilable dilemna.

- The Thin Red Line.

The narative structure is hard to get the first time you watch the movie, but once you get it, it can change the way you see (the/our) nature.

- The Secret of NIMH.

Saw it the first time at 4 or 5 and was in awe, but it tooks several more years to understand it fully.

- The Truman Show.

It's basically my life.

- Akira.

No particular reason, except it's the first Manga which gets international recognition and propulsed the industry in the grown-up domain.

Strong demand for Dollar is linked to commodities being all priced in Dollar.

If global oil output had to decrease due to, for example, peak oil, dollar value would collapse very quickly, because all of a sudden, monetary mass would be excessive compared with declining economic activity.

I suspect too.

The contempt of ads network to serve outright scam or malware ads astound me also.

When Newspapers of record are filled with 'sponsored link' leading to obvious medical scam, you know something is wrong.

Then I guess Google could sue her. And they would win.
