Hey @guy.dev! Happy New Year! How's it going with DMR and BrandMeister? Haven't had time to be on the air recently due to a lack of time and the annoyance of having to operate from a ground floor apartment. But I've ordered a new toy that should arrive tomorrow:

Nice article in The Guardian about the story behind Prince of Persia's first making in 1989! 💾 A treat for me to see Broderbund co-founder Doug Carlston interviewed here- he's a great guy and was one of my first mentors.

Hmm. Maybe it's time to buy a TEAC W-1200 (and an Audio-Technica AT-LP120XUSB while I'm at it). Yeah, in terms of raw quality, cassettes suck, but even though I haven't used any in decades, I always liked the format. Two words: mix tapes!

Noticed the shift in AI coverage lately? The hype’s fading, replaced by quiet worry about a bubble.

Chatbots — LLMs — do not know facts and are not designed to be able to accurately answer factual questions. They are designed to find and mimic patterns of words, probabilistically. When they’re “right” it’s because correct things are often written down, so those patterns are frequent. That’s all.
