there could be recommended runtimes, but shouldn’t the runtime be user-configurable anyway?

to be honest probably not

I think most free tier users will stick with chatgpt given its brand stickiness and lack of obstacles (disposable login page). If you can run your own llm models you’re definitely not the target demographic

Can any provider survive without ads? These AI firms are propped up by VC money, they need to create profits at some point and ads is the most surefire way to do this

Could be that the road to AGI that OpenAI is taking is basically massive scaling on what they already have, perhaps researchers want to take a different road to AGI.

This was an opportunity for Canadian VCs/Investors/Gov to invest heavily on AI talent. This isn't what happened; the majority of capital continues to flow to real state. Lacking investment, banks acqui-hired promising talent/startups, those remaining went to the US and now the AI industry in Canada is on life support.

hug of death?

Given that Racket isn’t backed by a big institution I don’t think you’ll find better IDE than DrRacket, which is pretty powerful it just doesn’t look great.

Alternatively, as is the case with most lisp/scheme variants, emacs has pretty good support OR you can try the LSP extension for VSCode.

Not to add to this expansive selection, but I'd like to share this[0] short sci-fi movie that I keep coming back to every year.

It's interesting how much narrative and emotion you can get out of a movie with no visual effects (other than practical props/costumes) and close to no dialog.

This movie is a bit closer to fact than fiction during these times, so do watch at your own discretion.

Even when the supply chain attacks are not related to the JS ecosystem, JS/NPM gets mocked - inaccurately even...

I might be wrong with what op was referring to though, but if you limit your search to the last 24hr you might find something.

I'm not sure if this is what @solmag is referring to, but there was a white nationalist AMA space that was appearing under users' recommendations.

Could you expand on this? A fixed deadline can mean fixed budget, which the majority software projects fall under.

Do you have the option to go on a leave of absence? I have friends who have done this to work on their own ideas or go traveling for an undetermined amount of time.

I'm a fan of David Li's work[0]. Most recently he created the Blob Opera[1] which builds up of a lot of his previous experiments

As for recreating some of this work, you could probably start by looking at his github repos[2].

It'll be interesting when these container are found thousands of years into the future, assuming humans (or transhumans) still being around.

This and the John Deere bug posted earlier make me a bit concerned over the accumulating evidence of unreliable software ruining people's lives...

What can be done? Mandatory audits, pen testing?

If this is an organizational problem, more vacation? limiting overtime? rethinking employee incentives?

It's more about liability than deterrence.

The trick is to get drivers to follow those markings. Where I live I see cars/trucks regularly park on bike lanes with little repercussion. Add to that a hostility between drivers and cyclists sharing the road; this might just be an issue where I live (Toronto)

Cycling lane poles would be ideal, but a lot of drivers push back on this since they see it as precious space being taken away from them.

His CV is linked in there.

Yeah... companies that harp on the "family" sentiment are either being disingenuous or naive given that they can get rid of you at the flip of a coin without remorse.

fwiw, there is VR support fo Garry's Mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=16784...

This is reminiscent of https://github.com/moleculer-go/moleculer. I have not used it personally.

I have worked with moleculer-js, which I've had great time using (https://github.com/moleculerjs/moleculer).

I understand that this is an interpretation, but fascinating nonetheless. Are there other examples (or archives) of this type of historical recordings?

There are some things you can try: Contributing to open source projects, conferences or even in-person courses with group projects and the like.

They sound more akin to kernel programmers.

Any recommendations on how to get started?

How did you get started with this? I remember reading somewhere that stock photography is a nickel-and-diming business given that almost anyone can produce a half decent picture with modern cameras.

Just give me web access to your FTP server ffs.

When I think of punks of the tech industry I think of the Homebrew Computer Club. I've tried looking for a similar community but these seem to be few and far between.

I lot of the tech communities around where I live seem to only be interested in "startupping", seed funding and networking rather than experimenting and pushing tech itself. Hackathons, where I used to find a few punks years ago, are now filled with people mildly interested in tech and big corporate sponsors.

Maybe it's the fact that technology keeps getting more complex and thus a few punk hackers are not enough to really disrupt it.
