  • Despite the hits Asahi took losing two of it’s most prominent devs (one of whom is basically a wizard, as far as I can tell), I expect it to attract more attention than the more expensive devices because it’ll have a much wider potential audience. On top of that, lots of groundwork that was laid deconstructing the M1 and M2 chips means the team isn’t starting from zero, despite differences in the chip.

    It’ll take some time, but it’s basically guaranteed to happen and I think sooner is more likely than later.





  • I used to email the editor with examples of typos after I complained that their articles were in decline and he said they needed examples. So I sent a bunch of examples. That person was very receptive. He even said it was useful because they’d been discussing internally whether or not they were doing well in that area.

    A few years ago, someone else took the position. I found out because I emailed the original person and he replied and CC’d the new editor. That person wasn’t receptive and never showed any sign that they cared that I wanted their articles to be high enough quality that I was confident sharing them with people who I thought needed more science regarding social issues.

    Guess Ars is not gonna be among the sites that I trust to get things right from here on. And to hell with any editor who was ok with using agents when writing articles cause they clearly don’t have the internal structure to keep that from being a liability.







  • Leave it to asshole Greg Abbott to be a complete piece of shit about it.

    CBS Austin reached out to Governor Greg Abbott’s office for comment. The governor’s team referred to a social media post he made about a separate walkout in Kyle, in which two students were arrested. In the post, Abbott wrote: “Disruptive walkouts allowed by schools lead to just this kind of chaos. Schools and staff who allow this behavior should be treated as co-conspirators and should not be immune to criminal behavior.”

    Someone should grab his wheelchair and push him at great speed to places he doesn’t want to go.
