after doctors made sure he wasn't in a life-threatening condition, he was moved to the waiting room, where he sat for six hours before deciding to pack up and go home.

I don't know why they're trying to spin it as a difference from the US system.

I had the same exact experience in the US. multiple times. You go to the ER, for whatever reason, they look at you and, unless you're literally bleeding to death you're gonna be told to wait many many hours.

So, I guess Canada is the same on this, but at least they won't send you a huge bill to pay.

Please stop posting this unless we have proof that he wrote it himself, a picture of it, or at the very least some kind of new information that the previous 10 posts on the subject didn't have.

All these articles eventually trace back to the same one guy that claims to "have the manifesto" source "trust me bro"

They are considering it making it open source, among other options to keep the robots alive

Why not just open-source Moxie?” We hear you. We are not dismissing the idea, but this would be a complex undertaking, tied up in legal, technical, and contractual knots. With limited resources, transitioning to open-source is no simple step. However, given your passionate input, we are exploring every avenue—from potential acquisitions and philanthropic support to community-driven models—that could allow Moxie’s mission to live on.

This is sad. I know personally many people that worked there and they're some of the best engineers. Never cared for an AI robot for kids myself, but it seemed to work well...

The group was private and they created fake profiles ... did I miss something?

Yes! I use Kiwi daily, as well as Firefox. Some things work better in one, some the other. It's a shame it seems to be abandoned (no updates since April).

Exactly this: highly paid engineers are usually PHDs or otherwise researchers focusing on difficult problems. Their output can't be measures in ~~lines of code~~ commits on github. Nevermind time spent mentoring younger engineers, reviewing pull requests, advising management, etc. Ask me how I know.

That said ... at my previous job for a while near the end they were paying me to do very little indeed. I was not happy. Eventually the company ran into trouble, laid a bunch of people off (including me) and now I'm a lot busier at my new job... also happier.

He definitely said that. He said a lot of other things too, often contradicting. He says and does whatever helps him stay (or get back) in power, his words cannot be trusted.

That said, I hope you're right.

I had a forum account from long ago that I barely use and even I was able to vote ... so if you had an account there, give it a try and vote!

Was this with podman or rootless docker?

I also would like to switch to rootless, I have some experience with podman and, while I generally like it, it's not 100% compatible with (rootful) docker, and can have performance issues if you're not careful, especiallt with certain file systems like btrfs. I wonder if rootless docker is now better than podman, or preferred for some other reason.

It's the video games makers really, not video games as a whole. There are ways to make video games without getting kids to spend their parents' money.
