> Kind of like how Jeff Bezos threw a bunch of money at 37signals

Honestly, I kinda feel like 37Signals would have been better off with the founders having someone to report to...


How so? As an outsider, they appear to be a healthy business ans a good employer to work for?


Didn't see today's DHH rant about talk therapy?


Where he encouraged people to lean into intentionality and finding purpose rather than using therapy as a replacement?

I have a diagnosed anxiety disorder and I’ve benefited GREATLY from talk therapy in numerous ways. I’m an advocate for therapy. I simultaneously stand behind his post as a healthy nudge for many.


I don't think people in CS should be giving broad overly simplistic mental health advice. Let's leave that to the pros. I'm grateful of DHH's contributions to society but his hot takes are marketing ploys. Mental health should not be leveraged as a marketing ploy.

Fwiw, I struggled with anxiety and depression for nearly 20 years. Commitment to therapy and my modalities brought me out of that. My _therapist_ guided me, including finding purpose and building meaningful relationships.


It was a joke...also the Author is a bit of a software legend - he is the dev behind Apollo for Reddit, the app that reddit killed that caused the whole revolt. A one man show that made an app so much better than a multi-billion dollar company that people literally would prefer to quit the site than switch.


"Software legend" might be stretching it. His app was popular, and when Reddit pulled the plug there was discontent, but nothing was really ever resolved. It's more of a software parable against being overly reliant on a single centralized company that can kick your revenue out from underneath you at the drop of a hat. *glares at Tim Cook*

They say you either learn history or are doomed to repeat it.


Yeah, with due respect, calling a popular app developer a "software legend" is a disservice to the likes of Fabrice Bellard (FFmpeg, QEMU, QuickJS).


He could've easily taken down Reddit if he wanted. He just needed to port Apollo to Lemmy and get people to migrate. I personally offered him help to set up as many servers needed to get the migration going.

But not only he refused, he went on to mock the other developers who were implementing an Apollo-like client for Lemmy (Voyager) and went on to work on a YouTube viewer for the Vision Pro.

It seems like some people just enjoy being put in a cage and get constantly abused.


Yeah, I am familiar with Chris. He is the one that developed a popular application for someone else's platform (Reddit) and was rewarded by it by getting the CEO accusing him of extortion attempts.

Then, after realizing that Reddit's management was just using him as a scapegoat and to justify the API closing off, what does he do? He could've used his influence to get people out of Reddit and porting Apollo to some other alternative, he went on to spend a good part of an year working on, you guessed it, an YouTube client for Apple's Vision Pro.

Sorry, but a sibling comment has it right: Chris does not suffer from Stockholm Syndrome. It's full-on Battered Wife Syndrome.


Wow that’s like a poster child for how non free software hurts developers


craziest part of this is i completely forgot about the vision pro


Heh...it is so much worse than that.

Trump has no idea what he is doing, it has been very clear in interviews.

In the first admin, it was the adults in the room, the thing is, it's not yes men this time...it's the villians in the room. Trump is being handed EOs that he doesn't have a clue about.

For all the talk about P2025 and denial of any relation to it, they have done roughly 50% of the actions in the project already with more on the way. ~2/3rds of all his EOs have been in the plan. Virtually everyone related to the project is now in the admin - the head of the FCC literally wrote the 'FCC' section and boy is it an attack on everything the EFF holds dear.

I think what is notable is that it seems to have gotten more bold - the plan called for reducing USAID, not killing it for example.

And Yes, page 246, killing funding for PBS.


> Trump is being handed EOs that he doesn't have a clue about.

Probably like every president before him.

No president like CEOs can know everything about the organization they head. They are mostly the face and mouthpiece, and depend on chiefs and VPs to tell them what needs to be done according to the agenda that CEO or president has put forth.


Definitely, Biden certainly as well. I would argue that this is mostly a modern thing. EOs were far less common in the past and I would argue that far younger presidents often were far more in control of their admin. At the very least, they understood the paper they were signing.


Exactly. Trump is practically illiterate and is being handed things to sign. His original ideas that were pushed back on by his advisors in his first term were a different sort of idea, things like, "Why can't we just force that country to do what we want, we're the USA, we're the most powerful, we could just bomb them."


For those downvoting you for saying Trump is practically illiterate

Here he is asking the UK prime minister to read out a letter he'd been sent

> Having the CVE program operated by a company funded by the U.S. military

...Yep, we're done as a democracy. Pack it up, boys.

Edit: I know it is doom and gloom but the CVE program could easily delay information and leave holes on purpose.


Hey, there we are.

That's exactly it.

You've always been able to use Applescript to send iMessages on a Mac.


My understanding was that Apple wanted to figure out how to build systems with multi-SOCs to replace the Ultra chips. The way it is currently done means that the Max chips need to be designed around the interconnect. Theoretically speaking, a multi-SOC setup could also scale beyond two chips and into a wider set of products.


Ultra is already two big M3 chips coupled through an interposer. Apple is curiously not going the way of chiplets like the big CPU crowd is.


I'm not sure if multi-SoC is possible because having 2 GPUs together such that the OS sees it as one big GPU is not very possible if the SoCs are separated.


No the comment misunderstood the difference between CPU memory and unified memory. This can dedicate 500GB of high bandwidth memory to the GPU. - ~3.5X that of an H200.


Because the .1% is who will buy it? I mean, yeah, supply and demand. High demand in a niche with no supply currently means large margins.

I don't think anyone commercially offers nearly this much unified memory or NPU/GPUs with anything near 512GB of memory.


The one you saw was the only one left after the insane accident that destroyed the other. It is still on display in Dayton.


The AF Museum is probably the best air museum in the world. Of course, you have the Smithsonian in DC, but the size limits and general audience they expect really tones it down. You end up with a couple insane exhibits (Command Module, X-15, Wright flyer) but they all feel out of context. I actually preferred the annex with the Shuttle more.

The AF museum is our modern history and society shown through the lens of the air and is insane in size.
