Remember Accompany.com and Mercata and other group-buying websites from the 90's dotcom boom? Time for those again?

Nielsen's "Usability Engineering" was my FIRST EVER Amazon.com purchase in June 1998.

Ha, reminds me of XTREE GOLD, from the late 80's / early 90's. A time where the default file explorer was unbearable.

Roblox studio. My son is a sound designer for some of the top games there. He's also learning programming in Lua for Roblox platform.
It is a small community of mostly kids aged 15-25 as far as I can tell. It doesn't seem like any professional adult game developers are part of the community (I got an inside view when I took my son to RDC this year).
The top game developers are making millions of dollars per year (they're paid in Robux and converted to USD).
In short, thriving ecosystem with lots of kids having fun doing creative work including creating games, writing code, designing graphics, designing sound effects.

The killer app of ai is robots. Like, literally killer but also farmer, cleaner, builder etc
And car driver.
When I heard about how Tesla was training it's AI - without describing objects but instead through direct observation - it reminded me of Heinlein's "Door Into Summer" (1956). Heinlein's character teaches a multipurpose robot how to do any tedious human task through direct observation.

Also might be useful to some: in Google Cal, you can show a secondary time zone on left hand side. Mine shows PT and CT for example.

Ha, back in 1995 I could HEAR in advance when my PC was going to crash. I could tell from the certain crunching / grinding sounds of the hard disk. I could hear it and think "Uh oh, here comes a crash..." And then blue screen of death.
It’s how I accidentally learned the Win32 API
