In sci-fi, AI devices (like self-driving cars or ships, or androids) seem like an integrated unit where any controls or sensors they have are like human limbs and senses. The AI “wills” the engine to start. I always imagined AI would be like a single organism where neurons are connected directly to the body.

Given the development of LLM:s and how they are used, it now seems more likely that AI will be an additional “smart layer” on top of the dumb machinery, and actions are performed by emitting tokens/commands (“raise arm 35 degrees”) that are sent to API:s. The interaction will be indirect in the way that we control the TV with the remote.

These arguments would apply the same to Google’s approach. My argument is that Google appears to have another agenda.

If they only cared about thwarting malware they could have just relied on code signing via public certificate authorities, like with binaries on Windows.

FWIW, while it’s not a VM, games for Windows do tend to have higher performance in Proton on Linux than they do in Windows 11.

The boars they feast on at the end of every Asterix comic.

Well yes, their sales department needs to know whom to contact

Did anyone catch what the Proton app adds over all the already existing apps?

Unfortunately some developer tools fail to work correctly in separate worktrees. I used them for a while but had to give them up. For example, Maven’s release plugin cannot reliably create tags / branches if you’re in a separate worktree.

Dude, the problem is you have no fucking idea if it’s wrong yourself, have nothing to back it up

That’s not true. For starters you can evaluate it on its own merits to see if it makes logical sense - the AI can help solve a maths equation for you and you can see that it checks out without needing something else to back it up.

Second, agentic or multiple-step AI:s will dig out the sources for you so you can check them. It’s just a smarter search engine with no ads and better focus on the question asked.

I just got Android 16 via OTA update yesterday. Nothing changed.

How about jabber/XMPP

APK and APKS are just renamed zip files

The key feature is that there’s a mechanism that limits supply. Other than that, value only exists because enough people agree that it has value. Fiat currency is exactly the same in this regard.

I think your questions indicate that you don’t have sufficient understanding of how “ordinary” money works. It’s just a promise of being able to exchange it for goods & services in the future, and its value hinges on people trusting that promise.

If you’ve never seen whoever approves the budget for that, you also will not be updating to Java 21

Oh they’re “innovating” just not for the benefit of their users

I keep my git clone in Dropbox so I can revert accidental delete and always have the most recent code on all devices without having to remember to commit and push. If it requires manual execution I wouldn’t really consider it a proper backup solution.

Wikipedia may even outlive humanity, ever so slightly.
