Did you mean <500KB? Or do you mean this specifically not suitable for small files?

A lot of live event software for mixing audio, video, and lighting has targeted macOS primarily given all the “creative” types love it so it’s not surprising.

Does mean there’s an expensive box with good resale value hiding inside those things though…

Indeed, they’re probably shipping a backtrace symboliser, and since there’s no system-wide equivalent of libc to link against, they’ll be including the entire Rust standard library with the binary too.

My other hunch is the Krisp noise cancellation ML model is a huge chunk of the memory footprint.

Even the guys who invented Electron (developers of the Atom text editor) stopped using it years ago and switched to Rust when writing their new editor, Zed, and its UI framework GPUI (which Discord will be using too).

Jokes aside, there’s a non-zero chance his death, and the values he portrayed as Captain Picard, influenced voters.

No, they also have the sauce of daddies.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee invented the World Wide Web (URLs, HTTP, and HTML) not the Internet (TCP/IP).

This is covered in the video I linked…

“Valve is not a publicly traded company. Being a publicly traded company adds a bunch of headaches and it [doesn’t] really solve any problems for us… It [would mean] that control around decision making now involved third parties… The whole point of being a privately held company is to eliminate another source of noise in the signal between the consumers and producers of a good.”

Valve are absurdly profitable. What purpose would being public serve? They don’t need to raise extra capital, they don’t have shareholders to provide liquidity to, they don’t need the brand recognition, they don’t need stock for acquisition currency, they don’t need it to attract or retain talent, Gabe doesn’t need an exit strategy when he’s already cash flush to be buying mega yachts.

For every reason companies go public, none of them would benefit Valve.

There’s no public knowledge of his intentions. However Gabe speaks on how Valve operates plenty and in general, if the industry is doing one thing, they often explore doing the complete opposite.

Valve’s primary thesis is exceptionally talented people are most productive when they don’t need to think about money, are surrounded by other exceptionally talented people, and there’s minimal people telling those people what to do.

I doubt Gabe would want the soul of Valve to die with him so his succession plan will factor that in.

Where does it say that? Their content survey details for when developers are meant to disclose AI usage simply refers to it as the use of AI in generating “content” which would cover code since the mechanical implementations etc are all “content”.

A 100% vibe coded game should be disclosing as AI pre-generated content.
