"If people cannot write well, they cannot think well, and if they cannot think well, others will do their thinking for them." - George Orwell

I don't think it is a moral failing to use AI to generate writing or to use it to brainstorm ideas and crystalize them, but c'mon isn't it weird to insist that you need them to write _comments_ on the internet? What happens when the AI decides you're wrongthinking?

> The big players are just awful at marketing

Apple is great at marketing to consumers. The other big players, I have to assume, are more focused on B2B where the threshold for UX acceptability is lower.

The only ads I ever hear from them are on economics podcasts ostensibly aimed at business owners. For "Copilot+ AI PCs" no less, whatever that means. They're chasing a target audience of approximately 3 people in the world that are improbably held back from achieving their wildest AI dreams by not having a commodity laptop with an NPU.

I like Realtime C++ (Kormanyos) and Making Embedded Systems (White)

The former is probably more what you are looking for.

> Although there is an opinion that templates are dangerous because of executable code bloating, I think that templates are developer’s friends, but the one must know the dangers and know how to use templates effectively. But again, it requires time and effort to get to know how to do it right.

idk man, obviously I don't know much since I don't have my own online book, but templates would not be at the start of my list when selling C++ for bare-metal.

unit suffixes, namespaces, RAII, constexpr, OOP (interfaces mostly), and I like a lot of the STL in avoiding inscrutable "raw loops".

I like the idea of templates, but it feels like a different and specialized skillset. If you are considering C++ from C, why not ease into it?

> When asked if Superhuman considered notifying the people named in its AI feature, or requesting their permission, Gay said, “The experts in Expert Review appear because their published works are publicly available and widely cited.”

Big difference between "AI, rewrite this passage to sound more like Hunter S Thompson" and "Grammarly-brand unauthorized digital agent Hunter S Thompson, provide a critique of my writing"

Let's see what company values informed this decision [0].
