Well it doesn't disclose when it was first updated.

I was just using the embeddings model last night. Boy is it slow. Nice results but this 5090 isn't cutting it.

I'm guessing there's some sophistication in the instrumentation I'm just not up to date with.

Oh this is why I can't download some podcasts from China.

I worked around it but it was a pain

I know his son Barry. He said his first memory he has was his Dad doing real time drawings for people telling stories. He was behind the story teller on stage on giant pads of paper as a comedy bit at night clubs.

He also remembers having giant bags of toys dumped on the floor of the hotel rooms.

What about "Google finally doesn't zoom the map out when you modify a search"

Oh who am I fooling, they're always going to go out of their way to do random broken shit you never asked for

I swear I remember using this. I even remember the syntax. I was able to compile it and just start writing in it. I have no idea how I know this syntax.

Did early linux have this? Maybe netbsd?

I actually found it. It was on simtel: https://archive.org/details/Simtel20_Sept92

I must have gotten it from there. I would routinely get any thing Walnut Creek would make.

I also realized a couple years ago I could navigate EDLIN without help and knew how to use masm. Somehow I had forgotten what I know but my fingers did not.

Fun story: As a kid with only a DOS 3.3 box and no BBS to download another and not much money to buy one, no magazine subscription etc., I accidentally erased our word processor software. I literally only had EDLIN for writing anything. So, that’s what I used. Got so good I was able to write multi-page book reports with it.

I encountered it on an open day on the university. The only thing I still remember is that functions were called HowTo, because they described how to do something.

Can you tell me about "Simtel"? I have never used a BBS but from looking at that ISO it was a collection of software downloaded from BBS' ?

FTP server, not BBS. You had to be on the Internet to access it.

It was called SIMTEL20 for a while because it was hosted on a PDP-10 mainframe running the TOPS-20 operating system, but apparently it was hosted on a PDP-10 running ITS first:

> The archive was hosted initially on the MIT-MC PDP-10 running the Incompatible Timesharing System,[1] then TOPS-20, then FreeBSD servers

That is an interesting piece of internet history, thank you for sharing.

Windows 1 had hamburger menus, originally from Xerox Star.

Kinda cool

I assume it's just an inflation robust store of value.

If I was lucky enough to have to defend say a billion dollars from diluting over decades, a priceless comic sounds like a decent acquisition

I actually do that for numismatic reasons now. After today they will only increase in scarcity.

Not that I imagine they'll ever be valuable mind you... I should really just go and get $5 worth somewhere. That would satiate my desires

Is there any endowment for such projects?

Something like money to the endowment from the big corp, then would be recipients petition the endowment for ongoing funding, some board decides based on a set of open protocols...

Because honestly I've seen this a bit recently - major infrastructure projects looking for effectively pocket change; a couple thousand.

They shouldn't ever have to beg for money, this is stupid.

Wikimedia Foundation sort of does now. The result of that is that their spending has ballooned to hundreds of millions of dollars.
