I don’t think you’re taking scale into account. Millions of internet users then vs billions now makes a difference. Generous hobbyists and some universities payed for those services back then. The “massive” in MUD was a few thousand simultaneous players, with mostly text and maybe limited graphics. I very much doubt any of them could/would have paid if their usage went up by 10,000 times, with the higher quality and expectations that we have today. Again, I challenge you to come up with a service for a hundred million people that is open to everyone and doesn’t require ads. I hate ads too - I’ll join your service if you can make it work.

Just for reference, I was there too. I started with a shiny 300 baud modem. To compare the old days to today and say they’re even comparable in terms of information, media, knowledge, access, gaming, entertainment … it’s not even close.

"Free" has several meanings: free-as-in-speech, free-as-in-beer, free-as-in-puppy. I release my software under an open source license at no cost, but it means that I get to set the defaults on the version I distribute. And if my defaults include a brag screen or a request for citation or other annoyances, then you are free to modify it to remove those. That's what Free Software is all about. You do not get to staple on a further definition to "free" so that it's now a pseudo-spiritual sacrifice for the benefit of everyone but the author themselves.

If that means I don't understand the rationale behind free software, so be it. My software is still Free as in Speech (most important) and Free as in Beer (you're welcome). You can choose differently in the free software you develop and that's fine too.

Edit: ChatGPT provides some other usages of "free":

- Free as in love: Unconditional, without expectation of return.

- Free as in wind: Unpredictable and uncontainable.

- Free as in 'free sample': A teaser, often leading to a paid service or product.

- Free as in 'free time': Availability, the freedom to use one's time as one wishes.

- Free as in 'free agent': Unattached and able to choose one's path or affiliation.

> “The senior leadership team was unanimous in asking for Sam’s return as CEO and for the board’s resignation, actions backed by an open letter signed by over 95% of our employees. The strong support from his team underscores that he is an effective CEO,” said an OpenAI spokeswoman.

This is where I stopped reading.

At the risk of sounding defensive of Sam Altman. If there's something so fundamentally wrong with him, why does he have such broad support? He's just one man, say that what this article alleges is true, how many tricks does he have up his sleeve to fool the entirety of Silicon Valley?

I mean, we can beat around the bush all day but he managed to get his old/new?? job back at OpenAI. This means to me that his ouster was either unwarranted or the board was acting blindly and should have stepped aside just on account of being clearly incapable of making sound decisions.

This article does not ask the right questions. Doesn't answer any questions either like the many articles written before it riddled with speculation about Sam's much belabored firing.
How about giving the people the option and letting them decide for themselves.

Also, 20% of people is hundreds of millions of people.
This will resonate with any programmer who's known the frustration of asking for time from management to execute a comprehensive code refactoring.

But even all Wozzes out there who met their Jobs are still relegated to just Wozzes, all credit being vaccumed up by their respective Jobs. Not saying that their Jobs don’t deserve any the credit, i’m just pointing out the unfair pattern of how all the credit is being vaccumed up. One clearly needs the other but it doesn’t look like a two way street at all.
The idea at that time was for electricity production to replace nuclear&coal with renewable & gas (as backup) for some time, until there are other ways to backup renewable.

There seems to be a certain amount of "euphemism treadmill" in Japanese pronouns, where they start off polite and drift downward in acceptability to be replaced by new ones. I have a grammar book from 1906 ("Hossfeld’s Japanese Grammar") which effectively documents some of that drift: for second person pronouns, apparently you could still get away with “addressing inferiors familiarly” with ‘kisama’ in 1906, so it hadn't yet dropped to the insult level it has now. ‘nushi’ is also listed, glossed ‘contemptuous’, and I don't think anybody uses 'nushi' as an insult today. ‘Anata’ and ‘omae’ are the 1906 recommended pronouns.
The issue is that if you ask the average person on the street who the leadership behind Apple was, they would name Jobs, not Woz. I'm not sure, but I think the financial compensation also carried that discrepancy.

And that's a really common case.

It is absolutely true that you need both technical and non-technical people to make a business work. There are lots of jobs to be done, hats to be worn, and they are all valuable - many are necessary.

The issue is that our society and economy massively overvalues two roles in particular: those who bring the capital and those who carry the title executive. It's not that those roles don't contribute, they do. But they currently get the vast majority of the generated wealth, credit, and recognition (which then translates into more opportunities to access more capital and thus into an exponential feedback loop).
If you assume a big enough underground salt cavern it's already cheaper to produce 1 GWh of electricity from electrolyzed hydrogen produced from solar power than it is from a nuclear power plant.

It's not a particularly meaningful milestone, just a sign of how expensive nuclear power is. There are cheaper ways to store power.
Whiteboard tests are not a good way to evaluate people. It doesn’t tell you if they’re going to be a leader. It doesn’t tell you if they’re going to take an initiative. It doesn’t tell you if they’re going to be a person that complains all the time. It doesn’t tell you if they’re going to be able to solve problems they haven’t seen before which by nature will be all problems they encounter.

Whiteboarding interviews are a good way to make the applicant feel bad about themselves so you can lowball them in salary, however
Not OP, but adding it is called false equivalence or commonly known as comparing apples and oranges. Just because two people are CEO doesn't relate them any more than a person with mustache to Hitler.
The nicest thing is the IDE, so using VSCode you're missing the point.

(watch at 2x speed for an idea how fast I worked at the time :=))

I won't describe features that are no longer unique. Most other IDEs have catched up, but twenty years ago, Delphi was much better than anything else. VB had a similar style, but the Object Pascal language was more powerful. Also you were able to program IDE plugins.

The work that FPC and Lazarus teams have done is incredible. Borland was a big SV company. These are voluntary programmers and have outdone Delphi.

Edit, with one more thing: you could program Delphi components (and you can program Lazarus components) using the same Object Pascal language used for the applications. Components can be graphical UI controls (special buttons, edit boxes, calendar pickers, etc.) or non-visible database, communication, processes, really any kind of objects, that can also interact with the IDE.

Games (especially video games) can be extremely distracting from doing the things you need to do. I'm in school and so I have to work hard to avoid these things because I will not do the work I need to do if I start playing a video game.

Somewhere between 1900 and 2098 (or 2099 if the range is inclusive).
If that's the workflow you want during development, you can always replace references with a RwLock. That of course is not made very fun by neither the language (you need to touch too many places in your code to switch back and forth) nor the tooling (we need more advanced refactoring tools, if the language won't change, I'd love it if we had an "add a lifetime to this type everywhere" action in my editor).

I've seen variants of this in finance, where the strategy is called "outrunning your mistakes."

There's an art to building a rapid growth trajectory, cutting all kinds of corners to ramp up your customers/assets/users/whatever -- and then pirouetting into a bigger new role, while leaving someone else to stabilize your unstable creation.

Take it up a level, and the best practitioners are also very good at blaming their successors for messing up a good thing. Also very good at cultivating a certain subset of journalists who will keep burnishing the legend, never stepping outside the bubble.

Loosely related: does anyone in the brave new AI community have the patience and humility to try to solve the hallucinations problem? Because it seems as if Sam & Co. are quite determined to ignore it, deny it or minimize it, while continuing to push for breakneck growth of products with a very troubling design flaw.
It won't work. What needs to happen for that to work is extreme progress in accumulation technology. It's a pipe dream.

You cannot run any industry that requires power or energy on: oh, I wonder what the weather is like tomorrow. And if we want to replace coal and other really bad parts of reality, we have to come up with alternatives that work and actually exist.

Solar and wind now is not that. Doing more of this will lead to even greater non-linear effects on prices, which will bankrupt normal citizen. And industry won't want to be here. They need stability and _lots_ of energy.

He makes people money. Plenty of terrible people commanded great loyalty. All the loyalty tells you is he’s a good leader. Not where he’s leading us.

> Wouldn't it just be simpler to educate our citizens to identify propaganda?

TikTok is currently running a commercial on Twitch (and I assume elsewhere) which shows people explaining what good they themselves are doing and it is "because of TikTok" with a final message that (possibly paraphrasing) says "TikTok Does Good".

The government would not only need to educate their citizens against the lies of capitalism, but their own lies, as well.

Imagine if 350 million people became resistant to the messaging of capitalism?

The world might actually be a better place!

Other than commutes and peak hours in zone 1, driving normally takes less time, end-to-end. Really the only trips that take less time on the train in zone 2 and beyond are if each end of the trip is right next to the station. That's not a surprise, since around the world, most public transport is highly optimised at commuting and trips within the central zone.

I'll give you an example trips I take quite frequently (not exact so that I don't dox myself completely): Homebase Catford to Grove Park Cemetery: public transport 25 mins excluding waiting, driving 10 mins; Anytime Fitness Hither Green to Manor House Gardens: 22 mins vs 9 mins; Voodoo Rays Peckham to Mountsfield Park: 15 mins vs 55 mins. It's also often cheaper to drive, especially if it's more than one person, and I usually have my partner with me.

Even in zone 1 at peak times, driving is usually about the same as public transport once you factor in the time for connections, waiting, getting down into the stations and back, etc. It's just expensive as hell with the congestion charge and parking costs.

The surprising thing about London's traffic is it really flows quite well, even compared to much smaller and less densely populated towns in the UK. I've driven across quite literally the length and breadth of the UK, and I've experienced much worse traffic elsewhere. I'm not sure if it's the fancy "smart" traffic light system we have or some other aspect of urban planning, but I find that I quite rarely get stuck in frustrating traffic jams. That is, except for if there's a bad crash in the Blackwall Tunnel. That can cause gridlock all the way back to Blackheath.
I agree, but the same can be said of any other interview technique. There's no rock solid, reliable way to determine in 30-60 minutes whether a candidate is going to be a good hire. I'm not in favor of whiteboards, but I'm also not necessarily in favor of anything else.

Interesting. I wonder if the similarity of the words "ship" and "shit" contributed to the development. Out of curiosity, what is the non-pejorative replacement for shipmate?

Sometimes extremely subtle. There was a highway exit I used to take all the time (and pass nearly as often) to get to where I was living. It has two exit-only lanes, both of which begin as onramps. I developed a very good sense for which drivers were going to realize that they were about to miss their exit (and move right) or be forced to exit (and move left). It didn’t last full-strength for much more than a year or so after I moved elsewhere in the same metro area.

I can’t clearly articulate what it was I was seeing, but doing it two or three times a day, I got very good at it.

who cares about casualty numbers when one side initiated it by killing civilians? Israel has license to kill every single one of them until the hostage taking, rockets and murders stop. Israel didn't initiate this. Palestine did. They did so knowing this would be Israel's response. This blood is on the hands of the Palestinian leadership's intentional strategy.

Don't want your people to die? Don't organize massacres of civilians. Real easy. If your government organizes such a massacre, I'm sorry but your life is forfeit. Maybe vote differently next time.

Casualty counts are irrelevant if we aren't looking at who the casualties are and who started what.

>Biodiversity doesn't "benefit" anyone so much as it comprises, entirely, the world from which we're inextricable.

Is it though? There's been several extinction events that wiped out the biodiversity of the planet and they were all natural too. We might be inextricable from the world but we can and do manipulate it to our benefit.

I don't understand what is the problem with anthropocentrism. Given the chance, I'd prefer more biodiversity for sure, but if it's objectively bad for human beings I think human interests should come first. It's just that the current cycle of overproduction and global warming isn't benefiting humans either. That's not the fault of human-centered thinking, it's the fault of profit-centered short-term thinking.

In some languages, symbols are provided which evaluate to a file’s path or directory parent, so program behavior can vary even for the same content hash. That’s just one way paths can bleed in to violate hermeticity/correctness.

Completely agree about exercise. If you're able to make exercise the thing you look forward to every day, it feels like a cheat code for life.
IIUC the actual computation (e.g. compiling, linking, ...) happens on client (CI or developer) machines and the results are written to the server-side cache.

By spoofing I meant to say that an authenticated but malicious client (intentionally or not, e.g. a clueless intern) may be able to write malicious contents to the cache. For example, their build toolchain could be contaminated and the resulting build outputs are contaminated. The "action" per se and its hash is still legit, but the hash is only used as the lookup key -- their corresponding value is "spoofed."

The only safe way I can imagine to use such a remote cache is for CI to publish its build results so that they could be reused by developers. The direction from developers to developers or even to CI seems difficult to handle and has less value. But I might be missing some important insights here so my conclusion could be wrong.

But if that's the case, is the most valuable use case to just configure the CI to read from / write to the remote cache, and developers to only read from the remote cache? And given such an assumption, is it much easier to design/implememt a remote cache product?
