It's not clear to me what that billion dollar meant.

To me it seems it was "Disney gets shares and we get to use their characters in Sora".

Even if Sora breaks even, why would you gift Disney stock? It's not like they actual gave 1B to openai.

It runs haiku apps through a compatibility layer

it's a little bit more of a compatible layer, it's just a native implementation really. You wouldn't call android a "compatibility layer" right? Kind of a similar idea here.

"seek you"?

That's how ICQ was pronounced. I feel very old now.

Wow, today I learned. I never knew icq was meant to be pronounced like that. I literally pronounced each letter with commitment to keep them separated. Hah!

I'm Italian, and we all used to spell the letters as if it was italian: EE-CHEE-COO.

Took me a long time to get the wordplay.

This is not news, there was an episode of Last Week Tonight on the Air Traffic Control crisis last summer[0].

From memory: on the human side airports are understaffed, there are no young controllers in the pipeline, attrition is high, and the less people are available the higher the burnout rate, which creates a vicious cycle. On the technical side, airports are unmaintained, systems are obsolete and crumbling.

John Oliver makes the case that most of the issue is that the FAA is financed through discretionary spending so e.g. it's subject to shut downs and can't do long term planning.

It would be nice to have ZJIT on speed.ruby-lang.org!

I think Hazard didn't sound stereotype at all, like, nobody had a clue why the car was called General Lee, or what the confederate flag meant.

It was just a fun show. Magnum PI, Different Strokes, McGiver.. were just as popular.

IIRC Seinfeld aired on Tele Montecarlo/La 7, while WTR aired on Italia 1, the difference in audience was massive.

I seem to recall it aired at some kind of weird time too. It didn't seem to be very widely known or watched.

Same in Italy, it was prime time TV for a few years.

Not overly popular, but many people already knew him from the Bruce Lee era, so it had a following by default.

AFAIU it's just for EU residents, it's supposed to tie in with the local tax/labor/etc code, it just replaced the corporate law part.
