If it weren't for JavaScript we'd still be downloading binaries and running them unsandboxed on our computers.

we absolutely do, the library itself is designed to be extensible. we are currently working on adding webhooks as one of our sources. are there are any specific connectors/sources you'd be interested in?
I have lots of HTTP endpoints that we poll with a cursor but actually the underlying data is very large (we work with snapshots of it) and updates very frequently and eventually we'll move to something else (e.g. interact directly with the underlying services with capnproto) so really it would just be useful to be able to define these sources ourselves. I'm working doing full-stack engineering at an HFT currently and we were thinking of using DataFusion to allow users to join, query and aggregate the data in realtime but I haven't attempted this yet (and to do so means integrating with what currently exists as I don't have time to rewrite all of the services).
Do you have plans to make the data sources pluggable instead of being Kafka specific?

Is this something you'd need to download and install ROMs to use?
It's bittersweet. It seems likely to me that the US government didn't really want an open trial due to the possibility of scrutiny and that indefinite detention without trial followed by setting the legal precedent that aiding and abetting legal whistleblowers is a criminal conspiracy was their goal.
I'm surprised that an executive or lawyer didn't realise the reputational damage adding these clauses would eventually cause the leadership team.
Were they really stupid enough to think that the amount of money being offered would bend some of the most principled people in the world?
Whoever allowed those clauses to be added and let them remain has done more damage to the public face of OpenAI than any aggravated ex-employee ever could.

I feel like this will be a spectacular flop. It’s the first major new Apple product announcement that I completely forgot about (and I mean completely) in the time between announcement and ordering. Nobody I know is even talking about it, unlike when the Apple Watch came out, or the iPad. The experience needs to be as life-changing as the iPhone if you’re going to normalize people wearing ski goggles around the house… I’m not convinced that it is.
If I can sit down at any table in my house and get a multi-monitor setup without needing to buy multiple 4K screens then it'll win me over. However, in practice, I do not think the hardware will be high enough quality for me to want this yet.
Apple is simply playing by the rules of capitalism, which are as follows: extract as much value as possible from your customers, employees, etc, for the purpose of enriching capital (shareholders). Apple will follow the law to the letter, but they will do so in whatever way will be maximally best for their own interests. Way she goes.
People keep falling for the just-world fallacy[1], and companies exploit this through the use of propaganda (ads, marketing, yadda yadda) and most people eat it up. No company (not Spotify, not Apple, not the woke-est, most DEI company out there) cares about anything other than profits at the end of the day under capitalism, because capital rules everything and politicians are not exempt from the rules of capital.
These aren't "the rules of capitalism" they are just maximally self-interested hubristic behaviours by companies with monopolies. Capitalism doesn't have rules; states have rules. Capitalism has market incentives and stakeholders.
I've always been worried about how overly clever the approach is, does it have problems?
