The only thing that might even begin to resemble a critique that I posted was pointing out that the idea that American relationship norms in the workplace are driven by some kind of quest for economic productivity doesn't work because the same relationship culture is found across all types of relationships in America, even those without economic concern. It is not exclusive to one type of relationship as the original commenter was under the impression of.

But that's akin to noting that 1+1 equals 2 in follow up to someone stating that 1+1 must equal 666. Call that a critique if you want, but I don't see how that could possibly leap into having "some other model" in mind? Consider me even more confused than before.
I always test new LLMs to see how they expand on lyrics that I've started to see how well they expand on them - and what they generate is just lame and cringe. The only thing I've found that seems to have AI trained in a sort of artistic way is Suno's ReMi lyrics model - but it's purely for generative purposes with no real way of interacting with existing lyrics. It would be nice if Suno implemented a lyrics editor that uses their ReMi model. I'd really have a use for an AI assisted songwriting tool - like Cursor, but for artistic songwriting that doesn't totally suck.
Depends on where you're looking.

There are usually plenty of "business" oriented hotels near airports, business parks, central business districts, convention centers, etc . (And that definitely reflects on the trip office map). Touristy areas have more tourist/traveller oriented amenities.
Borland as of a few years ago also ships a clang fork for C++ Builder, interestingly enough. It unfortunately does not solve all of the problems you encounter using C++ Builder in the modern age.

I’ve personally watched the enshittification of too many proprietary tools to ever build something I care about on top of one today, especially something which becomes so fundamental to the design of your application like a GUI toolkit.

I know it sounds crazy, like you’d never bother forking your GUI framework anyway even when it’s open source. But I worked on an application built in C++ Builder, at a company with enough engineering talent and willpower that we would’ve forked the compiler internally to fix its problems and limitations had we been granted access to the source. Instead, I got to watch the product get held back by it year after year, hoping that Borland would care.
The Replicator program was supposed to result in cheaper drones using commercial-grade technology, but the price isn't coming down to Ukraine/Russia levels and it's taking too long.[1]

If "AI" got into the Replicator program, someone is gold-plating it. It's supposed to be about US$500 to US$1000 drones. What's coming out are US$20,000 drones.

I believe this story, and particularly the documentary, "Three Identical Strangers", is fake. I watched it years ago and became increasingly suspicious.

The three triplets are often interviewed on 80's style talk shows, but the verisimilitude is simulated; there were no such shows. At one point they open a restaurant as business partners. This "iconic" restaurant seemed to never exist, except for one "closed" marker in google search with no other reviews, and one picture, which was a small screen shot -- from the "documentary".

I investigated a little further and found that one of the producers was a professor of media bias at a university. This article, which was probably written by AI, is regurgitation. I would be happy to be proven wrong and I challenge anyone to come forward with any evidence for the truth of this subject that comes from outside of the documentary itself.
It must be something with my old graphics card (Intel HD 4000) or X because Zed is kind of slow for me, it even stutters or something. gvim on the other hand works fine.
> I trained an AI, but sometimes there were errors.

I edited that down to a proper summary of AI in general
They know what they’re doing. Most hotels ‘are’ built for work, but they’re built for what most workers use them for: work travel. Though probably common for developers, I’ll bet it’s pretty unusual for the other like 96% of people to want to do deep work in a hotel room. Especially if you’re on the road for work, you’re probably the sort of worker that needs to physically be somewhere remote to accomplish a goal, which makes it even less likely you’re going to be doing deep work in your hotel room. Most have “business centers” where you can bang out a zoom call, rally the troops before a meeting you flew in for, print something out for a presentation, or whatever. I’m sure most professional use cases are far better served by those accommodations than amping up their rooms for the handful of people that need to be in a room by themselves sitting in one spot for long enough for the chair to be a big factor while they travel.

What I find strange about an open source product funded by VC money is that all of the people are helping make it a better editor and yet when they eventually exit none of the money will go to them.

Compare that to vim where it's truly an open source product.

Do you hear that noise? It sounds like something is scraping
The first thing that came to mind when I saw this project wasn't scraping (where I'd typically either want a less detectible browser or a more performant option), but as a browser engine that's actually sane to link against if I wanted to, e.g., write a modern TUI browser.

Banning the root library (even if you could with UA spoofing and whatnot) is right up there with banning Chrome to keep out low-wage scraping centers and their armies of employees. It's not even a little effective also risks significant collateral damage.

An important part of the historical context here is that the black community in America has a lot of scar tissue around sketchy investment opportunities, and those scars go back, oh, call it 160 years (i.e. the Reconstruction era). When you have a community that is suffering from widespread generational poverty, as the black community in America broadly is, that community naturally tends to be very eager for opportunities for generating wealth — especially opportunities that present themselves as "This is it! This is your chance to buy into the American Dream, legitimately and officially, no messing around with crime, sports, or the music industry, you're going to have Investment Opportunities, you will be stockholders, this is what prudent people do to accumulate wealth and provide for their children & grandchildren."

The black community in America has been presented with many such opportunities. How many of them were legitimate? Nobody has a really solid number, for hopefully obvious reasons, but whatever the real rate of legitimate opportunities that sound like the above is, it's low enough that 160-ish years of it have left the black community in America still suffering from widespread generational poverty. Particularly there is a pattern in economic-bubble periods where members of the black community buy in near the top (because the growth of a bubble is driven by existing capital flowing into it and the black community has less capital, while whatever activity is inflating the bubble seeks out large clumps of capital first, as any growing sector does), end up as bagholders (because they bought in near the top of a bubble), and suffer disproportionately (because they had less capital, and so a given absolute loss is a bigger percentage of their capital than for wealthier communities). There have also, of course, been periods of undisguised racial violence, which have always involved theft as one form the violence takes. All of this leaves the black community in America with noteworthy long-term scars around the topic of investment opportunities particularly marketed to them — and yet, what are they supposed to do, give up on pursuing the American Dream, especially when someone promises up and down that this is it, they can leave behind the sordid stuff, this truly is the pathway to affluence, safety, and respectability?

I just looked at hotels I'm familiar with, and images with highlighted chairs were not limited to the guest rooms. Some are definitely from shared spaces at the hotel.

In an emergency, that sort of thing even happens at Google (more for their smaller services, and almost always in the form of auto-LGTM hot-fixes bypassing the normal checks rather than actual live-editing of a script or binary, but even that latter thing happens occasionally).

Spotify is one of the worst at innovation. They pushed out the team that made discover weekly by downplaying their pioneering work while executives focused on “health integrations”, and they’ve now laid off some of their most creative people, including the guy who worked on everynoise.com.

While pretty much everybody would say no to this if you explained it to them, between nobody wanting to spend a lot of time keeping track of everything that's going on, and the stewards of res publica not exactly feeling excited about the prospects of closer attention, the connection between the legitimate will of the public and the actions at the other end of the chain of command can get pretty tenuous.
Well, that's sort of the thing you're missing... the vast majority of people are not the "manager" or "owner" in this situation. But if they were to take responsibility, it would mean they'd have to replace the current managers who are. So why doesn't that happen? Simply because, and this may be shocking, but some people don't want that to happen, and rather likes how the current money is being spent, and likes the current managers. The core of politics (and its problems) is a matter of disagreements, not incompetence.

Take a look at CitizenM. I travel a lot for work and that is my go-to place due to how tailored it is for also getting work done.
I travel a lot and I agree that most hotels suck for work. But the primary function of a hotel is to provide a safe place to sleep. If I want to do work, my best bet is to stay late in the office where I spent the day, since most people will leave at some point. I get good chairs there, large rooms and monitors if I need. It's much better than trying to retrofit a small hotel room into something else.

I agree. Capturing the interaction as a movie (like .mov file) makes it really difficult to understand what the user is doing. e.g. What keystrokes did the user press to finish this interaction. I wish folks would post screen grabs with tools like https://asciinema.org/ - this is what the helix-editor homepage uses to show the features. This is ideal for terminal apps.

That said, I wish asciinema can also show the key strokes a an annotation with the ability for the viewer to pause on each keyboard interaction.

Here's a 1988 Washington Post article about the restaurant: https://archive.is/t0CCH

And a UPI story from 1980: https://www.upi.com/Archives/1980/09/26/Eddy-Galland-Robert-...

I don't know anything about the specifics, but a thought that came to mind is:

If you're trying to thin down agencies to reduce costs so the government can significantly reverse or slow its financial trends to buy more time, shaking things a little and seeing who complains could certainly get quick feedback about what to prioritize or what to cut.

If your job is so unimportant that you aren't willing to reach out and make a case to the relevant people for why it is important, maybe the mission won't be deemed strong enough to justify spending tax payer dollars on.

For work that does produce actual value, assistance could be provided in converting that mission to a private company if the entities that depended on it existing will realistically pay for its services. If it's important and nobody would pay, maybe keep or test viability for converting to a non-profit organization that relies on donations. If it's both unimportant and nobody would pay, probably cut.

Existing employees working on it can then be given time/finances to help deal with any transition deemed necessary.

The existing government URLs or resources for it could then redirect to the privatized group, which can carry on its legacy.

It wouldn't surprise me if we see some more agencies facing various kinds of disruption just to see who gets noisy to gather data.

It's worth keeping in mind that government shutdowns are probably far more disruptive and have lasted from 16-35 days.

As someone in charge of cloud infrastructure I would look at your claims with a lot of skepticism. Very unlikely a single script will apply to the infinite variations in cloud infrastructure, and the business requirements and organizational compromises implemented and implied. The "$100k a month" claim right off communicates a bespoke solution with savings based on a single specific company setup.

AWS and GCP (I don't use Azure) show me possible over-provisioning and unused resources, and have tools to do more digging and identify savings. I have seen ads/articles about tools that claim to reduce cloud hosting costs. Where does your tool fit? Why would I trust it with access to my hosting account?

Uh, can’t imagine too many people reading this are playing Origin-era EA games on a Pentium 4
Oh they're only getting rid of the Origin app. Now they're forcing you to switch to the new "EA App" https://www.ea.com/ea-app which I'm sure will be worse.

And switch soon, or you'll lose all your games.

I'm not sure who's in charge over there but it feels like they hate me personally.

Two random things completely tangent to the article's main topic:

1. The bit at the end about the happenstance of having stock in "every hotel, airline, bank, and similar I use" as a chip to potentially use in a customer service escalation case is hilarious and yet a bit thought provoking....

and

2. I'd love to sit across a poker table from Patrick some day, however terrifying that may be.
Mr. Espresso founder, a Bay Area coffee pioneer, dies at 90
A bit clickbait. EA is still running a store and you won't lose your games, it's just a new app and not called Origin.

Also the bit about 32 bit PC users having to buy a new one is a bit overblown. Who's still using a more than 20 year old computer as their main gaming rig?
This murder is not the kind of use of violence that can actually lead to political environments conducive to constructive change. Constructive use of violence would be like the founding fathers of the U.S. who clearly laid out to the crown why they were rebelling, and then rebelled.

They gave fair disclosure and made war honorably, or as honorably as war can be waged. Going out and murdering some innocent person, and then celebrating that, and justifying it by vilifying the victim as a class enemy, as many in the far left are doing, is just creating an environment prone to mass-dehumanization and tyranny.
Exactly. I feel like this author doesn't realise how long ago 32 bit was replaced. Only specifically retro gamers are still playing on PCs that old, and they're probably not online.

I'm surprised the launcher still supported any 32 bit operating systems this long.
