I wonder what the various billionaires pay in federal tax.

I know there's not just one type of billionaire, but many, And I wonder if any are more or less significant than each other to the Nations financial Health.


No - I had a bunch of history and did not encounter that.

Works for me too, a nice long discussion of pros/cons of various AI tooling. Not just dlss

Anybody ever bound a Google sheets to a CSV and provided a TUI for that? I expect it would be slow.

Two-Way synchronizing of a text file version of Google sheets is another way to think of it. Aside from that, there would also be the need to implement the spreadsheets user interface of highlighting and all that stuff, in the TUI side.


[ Thank you for "PartitionMagic" - crucially important for home / personal computer users, at least in my own history. ]

And, I wonder if a (corporate) development organization's overall cultural friction around critical / negative feedback -- in this case integration issues in the technical sense of pulling together modules built by subteams to compose a final product -- could be worth investigating when challenging metrics like the above are identified?

This "18 steps" seems like a problem. And I wonder if it's a prioritized concern at SAM.

SNARK: The "magic" could be how corporate culture is communicated to users merely through usage of Samsung Magician.


Thank you and to all the others who remember and liked PartitonMagic. It makes an old programmer feel good to know that something he worked on 30 years ago made a difference.

BTW: I am currently working on a hobby project called Didgets. It is an object store that does a lot of cool file system stuff and relational table manipulation and analysis. It is available for free download at http://www.didgets.com

The install process is to unzip the downloaded file to a directory. The uninstall process is to delete that directory.


PartitionMagic was one of the first programs to make me feel like I was in control of my computer. I don't think about it much but looking back it was an important part of my development as a technologist. You made a difference in lots of lives I'm sure!

I LOVED Partition Magic. It really was magic!

It was pretty important at the time to make room for dual-booting Linux. Linux setup tools couldn't do it back then, particularly shrinking FAT let alone NTFS filesystems. PartitionMagic made it super easy. It felt slightly wrong to need a Windows software to install Linux, but great tool.

I joined the startup making PartitionMagic after I saw a prototype. I had just wasted another half day repartitioning my 80MB hard drive so I could dual boot OS/2 while working at Novell.

What a blast from the past. Partition magic was a huge part of our journey discovering and loving computers here with my friends. Hello and thank you from France !

Merci

PartitionMagic saved me so many times. Fantastic software to fix whatever Disk Management broke.

Yes, it was magic. Back in the good ol' days, I used quite a few times to resize disks and if my memory is right, to recover deleted partitions.

Thank you for PartitionMagic.


I speculate OpenAI wants to shape the "AI" narrative via Media Capture.

Q: Claude bills you on unverifiable work? Is that how these things go?

((Is there any way to audit this aside from reverse engineering? You get less than you pay for?))


So, Google TVs too?


This too is creepy.

The behavioral impositions by the court in the United States versus Microsoft trial discourage it from Monopoly behavior by opening third-party apis to competitors.

Q: Will Microsoft share its access to users private repos where they have not opted out of this training via its GitHub subsidiary, with third parties (eg OpenAI and Anthropic), in the spirit of its loss to the United States during its trial for Monopoly behavior?

Eg ethically today, Microsoft may be able to be argued to be monopolizing user data for its own AI tooling advantage.
