đżđ¶đđ¶ "not yet begun to fight"A.I. musicians are COOKED. I just recorded an ENTIRE SONG using nothing but my instruments and a few microphones. This would have cost upwards of hundreds of dollars in expensive A.I. subscription fees but for me it was completely FREE. Don't get left behind. This is the future!
Prof. Emily M. Bender(she/her)@MicroSFF Ooh! I love this. And my immediate thought was it would be interesting to read a novel set 100 years in the future tracking how the people who woke up first (having started their sleep first) guide (or don't) the later-comers as they wake up.
Netscape NavigatorWindows 12 is due to come out this year.
1) Your computer does not meet the system requirements. Again.
Why?
Your PC will need a dedicated NPU â a specialized processor designed to handle AI tasks. So, if you recently bought a new PC just to use Windows 11, Microsoft wants you to go shopping again.
2) It will finally, unfortunately, introduce a subscription model.
That's right â you read that correctly. They want you to pay and keep paying to use the computer you just bought. Technically, you wonât own your computer while Windows is installed.
NOW is the time to try Linux. Stop waiting. Donât make excuses. Donât even complain â we all knew this day was coming. Either try Linux, or admit youâre Microsoftâs little bitch.
Source? Yes, this is real.

Mitchell HashimotoAI eliminated the natural barrier to entry that let OSS projects trust by default. People told me to do something rather than just complain. So I did. Introducing Vouch: explicit trust management for open source. Trusted people vouch for others. https://github.com/mitchellh/vouch
The idea is simple: Unvouched users can't contribute to your projects. Very bad users can be explicitly "denounced", effectively blocked. Users are vouched or denounced by contributors via GitHub issue or discussion comments or via the CLI.
Integration into GitHub is as simple as adopting the published GitHub actions. Done. Additionally, the system itself is generic to forges and not tied to GitHub in any way.
Who and how someone is vouched or denounced is up to the project. I'm not the value police for the world. Decide for yourself what works for your project and your community.
All of the data is stored in a single flat text file in your own repository that can be easily parsed by standard POSIX tools or mainstream languages with zero dependencies.
My hope is that eventually projects can form a web of trust so that projects with shared values can share their vouch lists with each other (automatically) so vouching or denouncing a person in one project has ripple effects through to other projects.
The idea is based on the already successful system used by @badlogicgames in Pi. Thank you Mario.
Ghostty will be integrating this imminently.
William PietriIn honor of Meta's latest announcement, a thread on 175 years of 3D failure.
Let's first go all the way back to 1851 with the Brewster Stereoscope. No less a person than Queen Victoria was impressed, kicking off a fad that quickly sold over 250,000 units. Turns out it was not the future of photography.

Gareth HalfacreeSpeaking of #CES, you may have noticed my coverage is very thin this year. There's a reason for this: I'm doing my level best to *not* give the oxygen of publicity to large language models and related "AI" tech this year.
An #LLM is not #AI. It will never be AI, no matter how big. Its output is statistical mediocrity at best, confident falsities at worst. The only ones worth using are trained on stolen data. Their environmental damage is staggering and growing, as is their mental impact.
