They are _obviously_ (please convince me otherwise) going to be capable of carrying these terrible things out almost completely autonomously at some point in the near future, in potentially clever ways. Therefore we must, at some point, ban or heavily regulate them. Seems we should start figuring that shit out _now_, as progress has remained very fast and regulation and enforcement take forever on these time scales.

It was MIT licensed up until 2022 where it was changed to what it is now, where they say that it will become MIT again 4 years after release... but is that from when the license was changed or the first release of the software in GitHub?

Several factions continuously battling over discrete territories. There would be calculations throughout the day that would give certain bonuses to whichever factions were winning.

Every territory had a field commander that could request people join that had leveled up certain types of units based on how the battle was evolving.

There was also a form of player controlled government in each faction that could choose bonuses and allocate resources to various battles.

It was really cool for its moment in time.

Viaweb was PG's first company, which sold to Yahoo for $49 million in 1998. Just as an FYI -- I think PG/JL/YC are great.

" There’s nothing you can know that isn’t known. Nothing you can see that isn’t shown. Nowhere you can be that isn’t where you’re meant to be. "

That isn't all of them but those are the main ones.

I have had to submit a few pull requests to various projects along the way, but didn't find the ecosystem prohibitively lacking.

This is like a lucid dream but there is no narrative or control over what is happening -- only awareness. It is really most like being in the center of a river of thoughts, briefly experiencing them as they rush by.

Maybe if one is to stay conscious during hypnogogia for longer than I ever have they would experience a similar thing? There just always seems to be some bias in hypnagogia steered by and experienced by my consciousness in first person. In the other experience it is really more like I am an outside observer.

It is much more intense than normal dreams and I usually wake up within a few moments, and there is never a narrative like normal dreams -- just an awareness of many concurrent thoughts in quick succession.

That being said, there are cases where a join between ad hoc subqueries is the best way, and GraphQL doesn't really offer a way to do that (though I don't see why it wouldn't be possible). E.g. arbitrarily combining two GraphQL queries that return lists where some field in one is equal to some field in another.

But in terms of replacing REST, where you have to do all of that anyway, it is far and away the better option (for ad hoc querying, at least).

Not necessarily trillions at a time, but even small ad tech firms deal with billions of new data points across many dimensions every day.
