RIP Mikeal, those early NodeConf adventures were life-changing to me, ripped me out of my entrenched MSFT tech life, and got me on a Mac. It's thanks to these events I was able make meaningful contributions to OSS, ultimately ended up giving dozens of talks, publishing books, and have fulfilling career. Without him my life looks very different.

Take them to small claims court. You can self-represent (not all that complex), they've to pay a lawyer to show up -- they're already in the hole for way more than they promised. Multiply this by the number of people, yeah they'd be praying for a CAL.

The first computers cost millions of dollars and filled entire rooms to accomplish what we would now consider simple computational tasks. That same computing power now fits into the width of a finger nail. I don’t get how technologists balk at the cost of experimental tech or assume current tech will run at the same efficiency for decades to come and melt the planet into a puddle. AGI won’t happen until you can fit enough compute that’d take several data center’s worth of compute into a brain sized vessel. So the thing can move around process the world in real time. This is all going to take some time to say the least. Progress is progress.

That's the fascinating thing about lava/magma's power to simply erase what was there before. Plate tectonics does a similar thing when continents scrape each other clean. For all we know, Earth had an advanced civilization on it way before us and we'd have zero ways of knowing about it.

What an amazing effort. Best of luck to team SpaceX. I really hope both ships survive all the way to the ocean this time.

This is the new normal in 2024. Hearing about a layoff and reaching out to friends to check if they're safe from it. It's pretty messed up that world's richest companies are using layoffs as a mechanism to fix their balance sheet. My company never went for this lever. Also when you point out flaws in hiring processes at these large companies they swear up and down that it's absolutely necessary. So much waste, so many people chewed out in the process. Clearly there has to be a better way.

Came here for this as soon as I read the headline. Satisfied!

Yet it still sells vaporware. I was really excited for this company, but the self driving promises and fails, in addition to build quality issues made it a no go for me. While I buy new/unproven tech all the time, I guess I draw the line at cars.

The bigger issue is that the actual graphics themselves look the same as the previous game. I’m sure you can do side-by-side stuff and show it’s better, but I was hoping for a tour-de-force of amazing looking cities. A no buy for me until something changes.

2x? More like one cup in this economy.

Bravo, süper

It's disappointing. I wonder why they got cold feet. This is one of the reasons why I try to fork projects that I really like. But I didn't get around to this one until it was already made private.
