Wired.com ran the first ever banner ad. True fact.

Probably the best programming advice any anyone could get.

No, no, no - that would mean there wasn’t a deep strand of sympathy for Russian ethnic-totalitarianism at play at the highest levels of the German establishment. And of course it’s not like AfD actually, exists, or that the German security

And yet the USA and Poland were screaming at the top of their lungs to not do nord stream and the German public didn’t care. At all.

I literally cannot fathom how Germans still don’t see this. It’s a certain flavor of arrogance and greed to watch your neighbors be slaughtered and think “hey, we are getting cheap gas - surely this isn’t a problem”. Germans like to say how

Are you kidding??? The USA and Britain convinced Ukraine to give up its nukes!!! All this is rooted in trying to appease Russia in the first place. If Ukraine had kept nukes they’d be at peace right now.

Eh, Germans and points west are delusional, Hungary is corrupt, but Poland and the Baltics know the score. The fact that Poland had to shame Germany into defending their *own interests* should be a national embarrassment.

Logic definitely has more plugins for way less money though.

Agree, I think it will be limited. However, I could see a niche where it’s a good way to play your tracks live. Maybe you’d have to bounce some tracks in advance if they aren’t iOS compatible for whatever reason.

I haven’t used it on iPad yet, I meant in regards to desktop. Biggest issue on iPad is lack of device drivers. Class Compliant audio only gets you so far.

It won’t change until people quit. I did, I’m making way more money, way less stress, and I have no regrets.

As of today it can run Logic Pro. The feature parity is there, most people consider using one or the other a matter of personal preference.

The biggest issue with Mac is they manage to break device drivers every 12 months like clockwork. On the other hand, Logic Pro is an absolute steal at the price they charge, and it’s gotten some huge (and free) updates.

I also got sick of the constant apologies and you cannot disable it!

I bought a quest, it made nauseous, it wouldn’t stay on my kids head, and ended up gathering dust until I returned it the last day possible.

More traffic congestion right by there tho.

I mean that’s the humane approach, but what’s the fun without killing off a few grad students?

“Hey the user clearly doesn’t want this. But I’m a web developer in 2023 and the user is my enemy! How can we do something the user explicitly does not want us to do?”

We already have the NSF and DARPA. They should just back up a truck or money at CMU, give the professors immunity for working the students to death, and you’d have an equal system in a week. A lot of dead CMU students, but you have to be wi

I asked it to write a function with a given name and it came up with stuff that was in the general ballpark of the software. So yeah, it’s in there.

Given some of my own open source code is no doubt in GPT and Bard, which feels wrong given the fees and limitations, I’m VERY VERY excited for this!

I would not be so sure about #1, OpenAI has been very cagey about what exactly the newer models are trained on.

The findings conform to my existing suspicions and biases, but it’s not peer reviewed and is a single data point. Unfortunately I can’t put much stock in it scientifically.

These tools are the result of academic work, funded by the government for decades, and by user content, also generated for decades. Corporate AI is just 90% selling back public goods at a markup. They should be legally forced to open source

At the time you could download the public comments on the FCC website. It was just a ton of copy/paste entries. Useless.

I remember analyzing this data, it’s was pure AstroTurf.

I mean their public messaging is pure AI now, but I also think they have been very smart about running the right direction since Alexnet came out and showed what you could do with a GPU.

Yeah I’m sure it will get better, but I’d you have a musical ear this is pure torture.

Whereas NVIDIA is basically just “we’re an AI company now”.
