the semantic web is philosophically bankrupt. schemas and curation lost to the algorithm, by a wide margin, and for a good reason. ontologies are infinite.

You can define an infinite number of hypothetical APIs in all different shapes and sizes, but you don't. You decide what you're building and move on, letting other people begin to use your work.

Same with ontologies.

seasoned programmers struggle to figure out the "right" API for a single purpose, and still get it wrong. good luck figuring out the "right" API for the sum of human knowledge & our ever changing interpretations & interrelations of it.

It's not the sum of human knowledge, though. Any subset works. Your grammar can have five nouns and that can be enough for your use case.

the algorithm is morally bankrupt. which is worse

i'm not surprised. atari 800 was an exceptional machine. great work on the game though.

Yes, it had a lot of custom chips, and some of the same people (like Jay Miner) who worked on the Atari 800 design later were involved in designing the Amiga which likewise was based on custom chips.

there were 3 custom chips (ANTIC, GTIA and POKEY) 1 semi-custom (SALLY was a VERY MINOR modification of 6502) and 1 common industry chip (PIA). I would not say exactlly "lot of" ;-)

Well, relatively speaking that was a lot for late 1970s microcomputers. The original Apple ][ and TRS-80 Model I were essentially built from off the shelf chips (which is why both got off-brand clones).

> Sixel is a terrible encoding

This is not based on technical facts, but bias against an old format.

> png/gif/jpg--for higher quality output & lower bandwidth

For bandwidth, my ssh stream is compressed.

For quality, I can't see difference in a 24 bit bitmap when comparing with a png or jpg, unless I compress them too much, in which case the compression artifacts start playing AGAINST the formats you recommend.

Which terminals support "escape sequences for sending base64 encoded png/gif/jpg" ? Thanks.

Kitty, iterm2, wezterm and a few others that support iterm2's protocol. At least PNG.

Techlead is textbook "uncanny valley". I do not fathom this world, where people invest in his tokens. Yet! here we are...

At first I assumed he had an extremely dry, dark sense of humor, but perhaps you are right and he is simply beyond my comprehension.

It’s a great business model for has-been pseudo-celebrities.

This satire is judging a professional-technical assault on civilization by the criteria of useful, self-contained tools. As you laugh at the spiritual abortions who wrangle kubernetes for a living, they laugh back, even louder, all the way to the bank.

big F for my man john mcafee. epsteined in his prime. he will be missed.

to be fair, we print it on some pretty nice paper

~90% of the USD is also virtual.

Sorry to burst your bubble (unless that was a joke in which case carry on), but as a foreigner, American currency is one of the most boring I’ve seen.

More seriously: the USA really needs to retire the $1 notes from circulation a decade or more ago.

We are all imbued with the light of consciousness. It allows us to shine in so many different ways. With this stem supremacy, you are narrowing the path before the journey has even begun.

I'd recommend pets, learning how to care for them, and doing it well.

So much (wasted) effort trying to work around Google's shitty autocomplete. The whole industry is practically sharecropping for Google now.
