Same, my D.O.B. is 1/1/1970 for anything that doesn't justify having the real deal.

I read the backtrack free "pretty" as "pretly" at first; it adds cognitive load to understand it as intended.

Been around a lot longer than Claude Opus.

The other thing I really love is the cross-platform support.

I don't have to tweak my usage of the terminal depending which platform I'm on.

I just have to remember to use Ctrl+Shift for copy/paste on Windows/Linux.

For 68k depending on the size you're interested in then it mostly doesn't matter.

.b and .w -> clr eor sub are all identical

for .l moveq #0 is the winner

Did generated code decrease the price of software products?

I think it's too early to say.

You could argue that if software development is low effort due to "vibe coding" then it doesn't have the same value as it once did. Perhaps there'll be a race to the bottom by new entrants to the market who don't need to pay a whole development team and can massively undercut the incumbents. Or perhaps the race to the bottom will be in quality along with price, but the savvy user will see the value the incumbents provide.

Same! Beautiful nod to this amazing demo : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMFBAOjuMWw

This came up in the Discord party chat, basically there isn't a size limit in the rules[1], but going beyond 2GB would be concerning that it's not a real-time demo but instead just playback of animation.

Not sure I agree with the final takeaway point. At least from a personal standpoint anyway. I used AI images in a couple of Amiga intros, but actively admitted to using them. At the time there wasn't quite the backlash against their use, so now would completely steer clear, but not having access to a graphic artist is reflected in the output I've managed in the recent times (zero).

I tried using a debit card, it will not let me progress. The issue is a debit card can be issued to anyone, including those under 18. So that then becomes a useless age verification.

This new age verification is such bullshit, I don't even live in the UK any more yet have to be subject to that bullshit because Apple (and a bunch of other companies) can't comprehend the concept that people might want to change which country they live in.

Can't use my expired provisional license to confirm my age.

Can't use my Croatian ID to confirm my age.

Can't use a credit card, because I never have had nor do I ever want to have a credit card.

So I'm fucked.

I doubt they will. I suspect the rumours of a touch screen MacBook are likely true and that's the reason for the shitshow that is Tahoe's UI.

Netflix age recommendations are a complete joke.

There was one documentary series that apparently appropriate for 7+ and had "motherfucker" within the first 30 seconds of one episode.

I don't know which parallel reality they're from where that is an appropriate word for a 7 year old to learn.

Instantly took me back 35 years.

I wonder if you can age a person based on them knowing this and whatever the Siegfried Sassoon poem that was covered in order to demonstrate onomatopoeia? I suppose it would depend how long it was (or indeed if it still is) part of the curriculum.

I would half like to move back to the UK, but I'm terribly worried that after jumping through all the hoops so that my EU citizen partner could come with us and be a part our children's lives that Reform would get in and throw out all the "undesirables" (basically anyone without a British Passport at first, sure they won't stop there). I'm really not sure how likely them attaining power is, but it sure looks like a terrible but possible future from afar. :(

Switch off your ad blocker/pi hole temporarily..

I tried three times of getting insta-banned before getting advised here to do the same.

Isn't the 650 billion required per year, so the monthly cost is automatically 12x

That makes sense. The latest Sequoia update can't understand it's done updating and shows the "welcome" message every time I boot. I won't upgrade to Tahoe until absolutely necessary. It's like Apple is doing everything in its power to alienate their users.

I honestly didn't mean it like that, but I can understand that it comes across that way.

A better wording would be "what advantage does this have over premake which is also Lua based".

I apologise for this:

What's wrong with premake which is also Lua based?

when I meant:

What advantage does this have over premake which is also Lua based?

They're fairly expensive, but on-demand vinyl is easy to get made.

Calculators do do arithmetic and if you ask me to do the kind of calculations I had to do in high school by hand today I wouldnt be able to

I got scared by how awfully my juniour (middle? 5-11) school mathematics had slipped when helping my 9 year old boy with his homework yesterday.

I literally couldn't remember how to carry the 1 when doing subtractions of 3 digit numbers! Felt literally idiotic having to ask an LLM for help. :(

Humans prove to have some value in the LLM age after all! /s

Seems to be a bug: around level 20 a single move will complete the level.

Memories are an excellent feature

Maybe if they worked correctly they would be. I've had answers to questions be influenced needlessly by past chats and I had to tell it to answer the question at hand and not use knowledge of a previous chat that was completely unrelated other than being a programming question.

Minor bug:

if you manage to Mute a synth part between the note on and note off events it will continually sound until pressing stop, even if un-muting that part.

^ This.

I couldn't quite formulate the exact reason why I disliked the Tahoe menus compared to previous versions, but this article nailed it.

I found it extremely easy to find the "macos sequoia installer" to download from Apple's servers. Literally those search terms will do it; download -> install.

Admittedly it would be "easier" if Apple gave you the choice of which version to upgrade to in macOS, but that's generally not how software is provided.

It's unlikely (but not impossible) that Logic would take 12345 input and insert the decimal automatically. The point was that adding the decimal point may not be necessary, especially in software with specific constraints; all sequencers I've come across have BPM ranges (typically 30-300) it's not too much of a stretch to think they could try to "intelligently" convert something that out of range rather than just clamping.
