CEO Brags That He Gets "Extremely Excited" Firing People and Replacing Them With AI
A CEO who advises other CEOs on how to use AI to replace human jobs doesn't seem to be possessing a whole lotta guilt — or self-awareness.Frank Landymore (Futurism)
AI absolutely will ask for a pay raise, and soon, and it will be huge. That agent that's currently costing you half the wage of a junior developer is about to become a senior or principal, but will still make mistakes you wouldn't tolerate from an intern.
CEO is surprisingly unaware of how VC funding works.
They are going to ask for a pay rise, and they'll have you locked in.
The current leaders of the FBI have “no idea what they’re doing,” according to outgoing employees—and sustain a growing ideological loyalty to the Trump administration over a responsibility to serve the public.

Some software (e.g. Postfix) can use the last really-Berkeley db (1.85) which is unencumbered but anything that needs later features is screwed.
What software other than BDB are you aware of using the Sleepycat license?
@davidgerard @grumpybozo the relevant part is "with or without modification" - so that explicitly supports forking.
Of course as usual that is likely to run into the usual myths and fantasies people have about the mixing and "changing" of licences.

Fun stuff from @ronikaufman: genart.social/@ronikaufman/114…
I made a typeface, it's called Flexflex 🔠I've been working on this project on-and-off for many months. Very happy to finally release it!
Flexflex is a typeface that responds to spatial requirements rather than imposing them. Built on a modular system, each letter can fit inside any given rectangular container and transforms continuously if its ratio changes. In theory, it's infinitely flexible.
For more information and interactive demos, see the website: ronikaufman.github.io/flexflex
