It’s a really solid piece of work. If the concurrency model fits what you’re doing I wouldn’t hesitate to use it in production.

How good is the testing for PGLite in comparison?

Is it only intended for test/development? (That’s still a useful use case if so, I love Postgres too).

I don’t care about the sharp edges because 1) they’re not actually that sharp. 2) I don’t rest my wrists on them.

I mostly work from a desk with an external monitor and the laptop cantered below it. I avoid mice and try to use keyboard shortcuts.

I’ve used Dells, HPs and Thinkpads and the current MacBook Pros are still my favourite design.

Horses for courses, I guess.

Whilst I like that it increases the “tooliness” of the Mac it’s not of me I think.

I like mine pristine. ”There are many like it but this one is mine”, yada, yada.

I haven't used PowerPoint in years as I think my needs are pretty simple but I wonder what I'm missing.

I can see that the Microsoft ecosystem gives control on who can view files and provides collaboration and control. Both of which would be useful in the corporate world.

Is there's somethnig other than that or is it just ease of use?

For the most part I see people using MS Office tools because it's what they are familar with. They're familar with it because it's the only thing their IT department will allow them to use.

They all misformat currency in the same weird way. No one actually British writes 15£.

I don’t want to pay an extra tax to access the web or use my phone.

I don’t want to be monitored or censored by a nanny state because you don’t to stand up to your kids.

I’m angry that this is being brought in without discussion.

This is unacceptable to me. I’m going to vote for whichever party says it will revoke the Online Safety Act.

Much like the "unmasking" of Banksy or Belle de Jour. Why do it other than nosiness?

Is the person committing a crime? No? Then leave them in peace.

This is just a journalist using the resources of NYTimes to show off that they can exert control over someone else.

Write some generic AI music, have have your small accounts using stolen giftcards bought with dirty money pump the track and watch it climb the charts as other jump on the band wagon.

Et voilà instant layering with no connections.

I'm pretty sure this is exactly how all the music I don't like gets into the charts. :P

e.g. Climbing for Dollars and It’s Not My Problem!

When I first saw Robocop these looked so crass it was obvious satire.

Now...? Well, I'd buy that for a dollar.

I naively thought that with 300ish synths covered they'd have everything I own but I can see that's not the case.

I've got Alesis, Casio and Yamaha equipment that's missing. Time to dig out the manuals and get a PR ready.

It's easy to forget how successful the MIDI standard is. It might be the most stable and still relevant digital standard of all time.

My oldest bit of kit is a Casio CZ-5000 from, I think, 1985. That I can plug it into the latest equipment without drivers and it still works is amazing. 5 pin DIN for the win!

It is but I don’t think this Pocket Operator has MIDI without adding third party hardware.

I mean, come on. This bullshit is what you said before.

You haven’t changed, you’re just pissed off you caught but a bit smug you got away with it scott free.

I could see the model becoming part of the OS.

Of course Google and Microsoft will still want you to use their models so that they can continue to spy on you.

Apple, AMD and Nvidia would sell hardware to run their own largest models.

RAM was so tight on those 8-bit machines that many games used tricks like hiding things inside the viewable area of the screen to eck out just a little bit more.

Hell, the RAM size was so important that they named machines after it.

If the publishing industry can't win a case against the AI firms then you don't stand a chance when you finally find out they've been training on your private data the whole time.

They can tell you one thing and do the opposite and there's effectively nothing you can do about it. You'd be a fool to trust them.

You can buy a brand new Dacia Spring for only £12,240. Personally I don't think it's a great car but it's certainly doesn't cost 40K.

If it were my money I'd spend a bit more on either a used Jag ePace or a Renault 5 but some people prefer new cars I guess.
