So what you're saying is that the files are basically a memory dump formatted as XML? :-p

Are you comparing 2 relatively simple games with... Word? Word is basically an operating system. Unix people like to make fun of Emacs for being one, but Word is basically one, too. And all the features in there are used, otherwise Microsof

I'd argue we've already hit the ceiling. Can you truly tell the different between SOTA models from 9 months ago and those from today? There are some improvements but they're mostly marginal. Plus there is a chance the actual

Yeah, but that's based on a hard limits, the physics of the eye. The example was poorly chosen.

Not cynicism, incentives. Everything is shaped by incentives. We make movies about heroes and martyrs because they're 0.001% of us.

Everything on modern OSes is at odds with the Unix philosophy ("do one thing well"), including *nix. ls has more flags than a Soviet military parade.

The EU can't realistically bring Google to its knees. The US could. I say that as a European that's very much in favor of government intervention to fix market distortions.

Shizuku has a big banner on the PlayStore telling me it can't be installed on Samsung S26, it's not old enough.

The EU shouldn't be regulating Google like this. The US should.

LLMs can be quite impressive with much more mundane accomplishments. The bar for what OpenAI, Anthropic, Google & co are trying to sell me, all of us, yes, for sure. Inventing writing is even too low a bar.

LOL. Tolkien invented multiple languages. There are/were probably 100 000 languages on this planet. That's without including dialects. We use existing languages not because we love to copy, it's because languages are a medium

Besides that, security cipher updates, internet protocol updates, there are a myriad ways applications that stand still can break.

And a lot of their apparent growth post 2022 is AI, but most likely at subsidized, unsustainable prices. So demand that isn't real. Plus apparently at least for Google, but from other news sources I've seen, at least Amazon and Or

Why would they? It's a very scalable naming scheme, there's even room for Max Plus Pro Ultra, with 256GB of RAM.

I'll plug your comment into a couple LLMs. If it's so easy, they should be able to provide the numbers. Edit: Gemini 3.5 Pro and Opus Claude 4.8 both disagreed that it's easy to determine anything, for both the high end (Fabl
