It's not that complicated. Probably what happened is just that a former Fox News host read part of a security report that he did not understand and overreacted.

It's also possible that they literally are too dumb to realize they asked for something infeasible. For example, the same main character who apparently gave up a career as an extra in made-for-TV WWII German movies to become a very high ranking government official.

Is there some Zig code demonstrating how to use all the changes in a Zig program that compiles to WASI 0.3.0?


What happened to that professor who owned it? I assume he passed away or something. Unless they just stole it? :P

Maybe give the guy a little bit of credit for the collection even if he couldn't take care of it as well as a museum.


Died in August 2010 [1], so he was still alive when this happened in August 2006.

The people from computer history muesuem would know moew. They would have asked this info witht hte person that reported the trove too them ...

  Maybe the professor ( or his legal representitive) instigated the donation to CHM???


I have a mechanical keyboard also and like tactile feedback. But I think what we really want is just a touch screen with some kind of next level programmable haptics. Then we can have whatever keys we want

Products like Tactus or Tanvas were going in the right direction.


This is another level up (down?) from the standard "gotcha, b####!" post-usage metered cloud service billing that requires a credit card up front which is the main business model for a surprising number of internet companies. They can keep doing it because a significant percentage of their business is from startups that are burning through someone else's money.

But it's interesting that the only real difference is that they let you proceed without putting your credit card info in.


I guess I have kind of a long system prompt, but anyway I just said "hi there" and it replied "What's up?" and that cost me 22 cents. :P

Anyway we already knew this was going to be expensive.


Look at the benchmarks. It's a big leap in some areas, but it's not like any of them are 60% better (if that could even make sense).

most people can afford it for a few special projects now and then. but for me, I have been trying to avoid Opus as a daily driver for a couple of versions.

People making high-end salaries can afford Fable for critical parts of their projects though.
