Just support Vulcan. With that in MacOS games will come. Relying on developers to spend time for 5% of the market, of the which most are base units not running Apple Silicon, is ridiculous. Not only do you need to put in a ton of effort to port to Metal, you may not see returns for big intensive games because most users won't be able to run them. Meanwhile, if Vulkan is available, it's a simple checkbox in major engines. People are a lot more willing to make Mac ports if the effort is miniscule to make them.

It's going to revolutionize how we interact with search. I fed it a simple program I made in Python and asked for it to condense it. It threw me a program a few lines shorter, and had comments for each line it changed.

Because I had parameters for "Desktop" and the like it had a suggestion to change it to mobile. I clicked on it and the same program came up, except it replaced "Desktop" with "Mobile" and I noticed the URL parameters in my program had some more data. I asked it to explain what it changed and it told me that the site should recognize the requests I send as coming from a mobile device, and that the text file could be renamed back to the desktop variant if I didn't already have a mobile variant created. 

I then asked it to find what Microsoft plans offered a specific feature as Microsoft is always changing terminology and shifting stuff around. The change I wanted was made in the last two months or so and it brought it up with no problems. 

This isn't a replacement for search where you can go "oh, I can trust everything it says!". It's a new tool to be used. You have to use the same diligence you used when searching before. Trust, but verify. 

You'd think Russia wouldn't fine companies that pulled out. I'd assume Russia would try and win back those companies, not fine them. But what do I know about Russia. I assumed they'd be competent, but we're on month 11 of the special 3 day military operation so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Jeez. I bet that's gonna sting them hard. Hopefully Samsung and LG can keep up with ~15 million extra displays for each of them.

Ministry of Truth at work.

Exactly.  The government shouldn't play a role in this.  This is a slippery slope.  Who becomes the arbiter of truth, especially over opinions?  If we're talking about a "news" site, then fine... hold formal news sites as liable for misinformation.  However, this is social media... where people come to express their opinions, etc.

1. The government should not be involved with this.

2. Social media sites shouldn't attempt to be the arbiter of truth either.  Let free speech happen with the exception of #3 (below)

3. Social media sites should conduct only light moderation.  It's fair to remove blatantly obvious hate speech and posting of things like trade secrets or copyrighted material should be removed.  Beyond that, let people post what they want. 

Trying to stamp out "hate speech" is how we've gotten to this point where the government is trying to stop health "misinformation" which is just stuff the government dislikes.

Anyone to spread the truth about MKUltra would be spreading "misinformation". Anyone trying to spread the truth about the Iran-Contra scandal would be spreading "misinformation". Anyone trying to spread the truth about Watergate would be spreading "misinformation" Anyone trying to deny WMD's in Iraq would be spreading "misinformation". Anyone trying to speak out about Sadaams chemical weapons would be spreading "misinformation". 

The government has shown it cannot be trusted in any regards beyond... What exactly? Highway construction? That people think the government should be allowed to dictate what you can say is quite appalling.
