Sure they can. Perhaps not the proprietary drivers but they could contribute to the open source ones and bring them up to speed.

I bet they won’t do that though. It’s probably a massive amount of work and they have no … incentives to do it.

I've been reading the ZX Spectrum Visual Compendium from Bitmap
Books (https://www.bitmapbooks.com/products/sinclair-zx-spectrum-a-...) and it has a lot of developer anecdotes in there. One of them (Clive Townsend) was talking about their development process:

"The original Saboteur! code was written on an actual Spectrum so everything - the source code, assembler program, and object code - had to be in memory at the same time. I'd work on a routine, compile it, then save it. To test it, I'd reset the Spectrum and load the newly compiled routine along with other necessary code, graphics and data. After testing, I'd reset the Spectrum again and re-load my source code and the assembler program. All from cassette! Nightmare!"
Large Language Models like ChatGPT have showcased exceptional capabilities in natural language conversations, leading to a revolution in customer service automation. Unlike rigid, complex traditional NLP chatbots, a simple wrapper application around the ChatGPT API can significantly outperform them. Consequently, the market has now flooded with ‘Custom ChatGPTs’ solutions offered by a wide range of solutions, from solopreneurs to large, experienced companies in conversational AI.

At Algomo, we believe that the potential extends even further. We see language models as the foundational 'intelligence' driving autonomous AI agents in customer service.

Autonomous AI agents?

Standard conversational language models work by taking text input and producing text output. You ask a question, and the language model responds with ‘static’ information from a knowledge base. You can think of them as a ‘conversational search engine.’

LLM-based agents, however, are a step ahead. They not only take text as input but can also interact with 'modules' such as memory, call other specialized LLMs, utilize functions (tools & APIs), and even integrate human judgement. Essentially, they can strategize and execute solutions to any presented problem.
Application in Customer Service

Autonomous AI agents can literally redefine the interaction landscape between businesses and their customers. For instance, an agent can integrate into a company's CRM system, using its memory module to recall past interactions and personalize responses. It can employ specialized LLMs to handle technical queries or access APIs for real-time order tracking, or product information, ensuring customers receive accurate and timely information. Even more impressively, these agents can autonomously escalate complex issues or ask feedback from human agents, combining AI efficiency with human empathy.

> I must have missed the part where those civilians couldn't take the Cape route.

They can. But are you saying it's acceptable that they should have to in order to not be attacked? What else is acceptable? Would it make a difference if they were also attacked by the same attackers on that route so there were zero routes available? Why would that make a difference? This whole line of reasoning makes no sense to me...

> Also, saying that the West does this in the interest of a couple of dozens under-paid Filipino or Eastern European sailors and not because it's freaking out about a few percentage points added to the transport costs of the Chinese dildos and EVs being brought in by ship from China is beyond parody.

It's not. It's because in particular it's important for world shipping that merchant ships can travel freely where needed. In general though it's of course unacceptable to have piracy or attacks on civilian vessels.

My comment about those sailors being civilian was merely made to point out that right now we already HAVE regular and deliberate attacks on civilians in this situations. And that the action called for is deliberate attacks on military targets where any civilian targets would merely be collateral damage.

>> But what kid growing up in the 80s would go out of their way to purchase a Pascal compiler

On the IBM PC, Turbo Pascal was cheap and hugely popular in the late 80's and early 90's for hobbyists. Mind-blowingly faster than BASIC and you could mix in assembly. Lots of demos and games (and BBS doors) were written in Pascal.

That's... huge? I don't really see the problem with that. This is from the veryearly Cambrian. The first thing we tentatively assign as an 'animal' (Caveasphaera) came less then 100 million years before it. It comes from the same million year period that featured the first known arthropod (Kylinxia) and absolutely dwarfed that creature. It's 6 times longer.

The size difference between this and what else was around seems pretty close to the difference between you and an elephant.

It's quite easy to debug crashes in the dynamic linker if you use a more powerful debugger. For example there is a Graal based AMD64 VM [1] which can record an execution trace of the entire program run, including the dynamic linker, and then you can analyze the execution trace offline and see exactly what happened / what didn't happen or where the linker crashed and how it got there. In case you ever wondered what the kernel roughly does when loading an ELF file: look at the re-implementation in the ElfLoader class of that project.

Similar situation - generalist, and "too much" general experience / not specialized enough.

The current market conditions have changed my thinking from "I just need to brush up on leetcode, learn a new language/framework or two, and I'd be able to step up into a better job" to "I'd probably be hard pressed to land a similar/better job from what I have ever again, best to milk what I have while I can".

I'm at peace with that though, I wouldn't mind just moving to a low cost area, and working on other / non-tech things at this point.

You know what is fascinating about hydrogen fuel cell technology that uses the same electric motors that EV uses?

A hydrogen leak is somewhat a non issue as it dissipates with no fire whatsoever due to the pressure hydrogen has to be under to stay at the low temps required.

And its the same issue in the diesel usage case where its actually being burned instead of generating electricity for the output to drive the vehicle.

The only downside will be the same expensive replacement of the fuel-cell itself compared to EV batteries.

> Israel is also bombing (...)

Iran's strategy has been to use their proxy groups to force innocent civilians to be their human shields. Hamas has been thoroughly documented as using basic infrastructure such as hospitals as their command bases, prevent innocent civilians from fleeing war zones under the penalty of death, steal humanitarian aid to cause humanitarian crisis, and even infiltrating supposedly humanitarian organizations to abuse them to further their military and political goals.

Let's face the facts: the likes of Iran actively places civilians in arms way expecting it to be a win-win scenario, as in either it prevents any retaliation or leads people like you to misguide your indignation hoping to weaponize it.

There is a wealth of information on how Iran, through Hamas, is murdering palestinian civilians by playing them as expendable pawns. If you care about the problem then you'd be directing your indignation towards the root of the problem, and do your best to not create an upside to using civilians as sacrificial pawns.

> There are so many plugins and settings that to me feel basic (and thus required), but each one of them add complexity to the learning experience.

Yes, and you should be conservative with what you install.

There is so much stuff already built into Emacs that can be amazingly helpful if taken seriously. „vc-mode“ e.g. is a great front-end for version control. It works with many systems and only comes with a couple of keyboard short cuts. So you don’t need to learn magit. Or „compile-mode“ which you just have to feed shell scripts to adapt it to any programming language or publishing system you like. Together with „.dir-locals.el“ you make Emacs even switch to the correct build command depending on the source file‘s location. Or take Emacs‘ „xref“ system. It‘s there by default by pressing „M-.“ on a function name. All you need to do is run „etags“ to generate a search index. This way you don’t even need LSP in many contexts. There is also „dired“ which is a great file manager serving many of your dev needs without resorting to extensions like „treemacs“. Emacs also comes with „customize“ to configure the various modes w/o needing to learn Lisp. It’s good enough for many things.

Then when you decide you need an extension differentiating the good from the bad extensions is the biggest hurdle for newbies I guess. It does not help that many Emacs influencers play around with cutting edge extensions that look cool on the surface but seldomly are production ready.

However, here is the workflow I am following when incorporating new extensions:

Most Emacs extensions live on GitHub these days. Usually, before I start installing anything I really need to have an urgent problem to solve. Then I google around ending up in a GitHub repo. Then I check whether the extension is actively maintained and whether it is also provided as a Melpa package. Then I evaluate the quality of the documentation. If it seems simple enough to configure I‘ll try it out in a git branch of my Emacs config. Once I tried it out a couple of hours or even days I merge the changes into „main“.

BTW: If you want to learn org-mode try writing your Emacs configuration using it.
Notice that a heatsink and fan adds $10 to the cost and there is no eMMC included so you need to add storage to create a bootable system. Also the 2GB RAM version is not available/sold out and shipping is only calculated at checkout.

In other words, the final real cost will be substantailly more than $39.

I use a J4125 desktop for development and testing. The theory being that if there is a software problem, it is likely to be more noticeable on a lower powered computer.

That's nice, I guess—for you. But we weren't talking about you, and we weren't talking about instant gratification.

If I'm buying for reasons where instant gratification isn't a factor—and I'd argue that for books, prioritizing instant gratification is even sillier than with e.g. food and drink or streaming TV shows—should I still pay the premium to be able to get something "this second" if my flight isn't for another three weeks and I'd have been perfectly willing to deal with a delay?

There are two problems with subscription services that your own server solves:

1. Shows you like suddenly disappear for no reason (as in GP)

2. They contain a huge amount of things you don't care for, that you can never truly filter out no matter how hard you try.

Your own media server contains all (or most of) the shows you like, and only those.
