I have been writing this post about the economics of open source, on and off, for 13 years. I wasn't expecting to end up at "Microsoft should send corporations a huge bill" but nothing else we've tried has worked. seldo.com/posts/nobody-pays-for-ope…

Nobody pays for open source. We can force them to. | Seldo.com
Thirty years of voluntary funding schemes haven't paid open source maintainers because asking doesn't scale. The real money already flows — to JFrog, Docker, Sonatype — at the registry layer. The fix: registries charge companies for supply (they already do), then route a slice automatically to the maintainers who make that supply worth having.

Does philosophy have a debarring process? Or maybe some kind of ceremonial microdose hemlocking?

I would rather see your witticisms in my feed than plenty of other things already in it, so by all means…

This actually looks like it proceeds at a stately and predictable pace compared to the electric scooters laden with food delivery bags careening wildly along the sidewalks and bike lanes of our modern cities. So… yes I do wonder.

I’m sure some are scammy but I did this type of thing with legit actors a number of times when I was consulting and occasionally did successfully negotiate the $500/hr amount. None of the companies I worked with led with that amount though so it’s possible outfits that do are scams.

My new frame for AI use is that it is primarily about trading mastery for power.

Just realized that AI chatbottery is, at the individual and collective level, nothing more than a very real, albeit supremely sophisticated, Pool of Narcissus.

The kind of imaginative genius necessary for coming up with the idea of paging and swap memory apparently not sufficient for understanding that emotions don’t work that way

Pausing seems like a good strategy. Usually I just hide my face behind my hands until it’s over.

Had to upgrade to macOS Tahoe for work. Wow this liquid glass thing is so bad. Different apps can have different degrees of roundedness in their corners? WTF Apple? (Pic shows the Music app on top of Slack)

@hypervisible.blacksky.app did I miss you talking about friend.com at some point? That product video… I don’t understand how this does anything but spark revulsion and sadness. Is it a hoax maybe/hopefully?

Even accepting the premise that AI produces useful writing (which no one should), using AI in education is like using a forklift at the gym. The weights do not actually need to be moved from place to place. That is not the work. The work is what happens within you.
