Reliance on AI and stupidification of humans I guess.

What would happen if all the people who agreed to accept it would also want to withdraw it from their accounts at the same time?

If everyone continues to agree it's worth what it says then not very much. Of course the whole thing can collapse for a number of reasons, not much different from other mediums of exchange that don't have an intrinsic utility, the utility is a sufficient number of people willing to cooperate. Which is pretty much everything except bartering goods.

withdraw for what? for fiat(=fake) paper bills, or for similarly fake digits on a mobile app?

Doesn't matter that much really. Basically just "take it out of the bank" somehow.

It matters. Do you want digital bits? You can have all the bits you want, and so can the entire population of the city.

Do you want physical cash? Well, of the bank is printing its own, they can hand out whatever they can print.

If you expect fiat currency (e.g. USD) or precious metals, then withdrawals are all limited by what the bank has on-hand, or can get quickly. Assuming this is what you’re asking about, it would be a “run” on the bank, they’d close up shop for the day, and it would affect the faith the population has in the monetary supply.

This project gets a lot of publicity for the product it has to show (which, as far as I know, is effectively still inexistent).

This is not really a valid criticism for an Open Source project. I built Ladybird from source yesterday and I am typing this comment in it now. So, I assure you that the Ladybird browser exists.

Of course, Ladybird is not production ready yet. Feature-wise, it is getting close. I can use it to do most of the things I want to do with a browser. Speed and reliability are another matter. I has gotten dramatically faster but normal users would still find it slow. But the biggest problem is reliability. I would not use it in its current form for anything that matters.

But for a complicated application that was started from scratch, not being ready yet is not an indictment. They claim it will be ready for regular users to try sometime this year and, from where I type, this seems realistic.

I'd say old fashioned Linux would come without any certification or support.

I didn't mean DIY / Linux from scratch.

and I meant where I come from a general purpose OS is for any purpose, not just to run it on a very specific stack.

SUSE - Find Certified Hardware Products https://www.suse.com/yesCertified/home

similar pages exist for RH and canonical

but then Windows also is a general purpose OS.

hm.

what if MS strategizes on their hyper-v as hypervisor, with windows as control Panel and all payload on their Azure Linux? popcorn time?

What I meant was "pure" non-commercial Linux distros like Debian or Arch.

snicker in slackware. get it, thanks for clarifying.

> It just requires being aware of a few differences between the Mach-O and ELF ABIs, as well as knowing what Apple-specific syntax extensions to avoid.

And completely ignoring PE and Windows on ARM.

I have been very successfully ignoring Windows on Arm since it first appeared :)

I understand the sentiment ;) But IMHO the title of the article is still a bit misleading or incomplete.

I mean, so has Microsoft, so...

I like to complain about Microsoft as much as anyone, but this is simply not true. At least not since the "second coming of Windows on ARM".

of different CP/M computer models though, no?

Well, as long as they don't discover a river of pink slime...

But the result is as nice to read as a face filled with filler and botox is to look at.

You get that effect when LLMs write whole sentences or paragraphs. Editing human prose for minor consistency improvements doesn’t do that unless you let it run wild and replace >20% of your text.

Slop is a misapplication issue. Just because today’s models can pump out a lot of text doesn’t mean they’re good for it. And just because letting them run wild produces slop, doesn’t mean they don’t work well for appropriately scoped applications.

That's can be just as well the case with AI.
