This seems like an extremely dangerous thing for Altman to do. What about Roko's basilisk?

Continents are a flawed and made-up concept. They make no sense. They add absolutely no value to any discourse. I simply refrain from using the concept.

Why do they sterilise it? Seems counter-intuitive.

That's 28k dollars to configure Emacs, if we assume 100 USD / hour...

You can apply your argument to almost _any_ language. Haskell's semantics not matching the underlying machine has little to do with any of the issues in the article. To the contrary, the simplicity of Haskell allows you to understand t

PureScript also has the huge advantage that it's trivial to build "something". When teaching Haskell, I'm never sure what to build as an example. CLI tools aren't attractive, making a webserver is complex, and so is

They likely just haven't gotten around to all of them yet.

If you could get normal people to use it, it would grow. I am not entirely sure what is necessary, but Twitter has/had a lot of small problems (notably scams, which are unfortunately coming back again). Twitter is a _great_ idea IMHO.

I assume he won't be selling it in the near future then.

How would you know people are using it otherwise? Better than an empty feed.

Is there any legal basis for suing Google? This seems beyond egregious.

I wonder why you don't pay more if you use a heavier vehicle.

Seems plausible that Apple would make an exception for a highly skilled engineer.

How is this a propaganda piece? It seems quite neutral, including both perspectives of the debate, and The Guardian itself is biased to the left! The article doesn't seem to include anything beyond factual reporting.

The difference is Mastodon is a horrible product. The UX is horrendous, yet a noticeable amount of people still left! That's how bad Twitter is! If Substack has anywhere near a decent product, Twitter will hemorrhage. (FWIW, Mastodons

I think the launch was a bit premature. They were in a prime position to really kill Twitter, had the product been ready. They announced it too soon.

You still can't search for "substack". Automatically replaces it with "newsletter".

The nerdier you get, the less attractive you are in the West. This seems obvious. You have indeed been missing it all these years.

Even Matt Taibbi has stopped defending Elon: https://open.substack.com/pub/taibbi/p/the-craziest-friday-e... Incidentally, I started using Substack because of this. Talk about Streisand Effect.

Imagine living in a Mars colony ruled by Elon.

Perhaps this is because Substack is now competing with Twitter through Substack Notes: https://twitter.com/SubstackInc/status/1643630250931232768 https://on.substack.com/p/introducing-notes

Praise where praise is due. Wasn't completely sure whether they would in fact release it or keep posturing.

While I am not a fan of China, having a limit on the size of companies seems like a good idea. Feel like most companies being split up would be better for us, of course, there is the issue that a big centralised entity in another country be

It is great to see the improved documentation! Thanks, Victor. Hopefully once the full LC is supported, we can try to make an STG-to-HVM-language translator.

"worse" is subjective.

They could fire him and only keep the other artist though. It's likely they have more capacity now than needed, which if they halve, they can spend more money on a good developer.
