I got my first computer, an Apple ][+, at the original Micro Center store in Upper Arlington (Columbus), Ohio.
The store was tiny and then grew over time to be huge. I live in NJ now and they have a store about 40 minutes away from me. I'm surprised they are still around given e-commerce and all the other stores that have collapsed. Happy they are--it's always fun to walk through the store like in the good old days and see what you can find.
Yup, I go in the Columbus store semi-frequently -- have since the mid-90's. They've kept up with the times so it's a little less "smells like nerd" (which bums me out), but they are very competent, very good on price, and sometimes it's just NICE to zip up 315 to get something instead of hitting Amazon or Ebay.
In comparison, Best Buy is a disaster lol; I hadn't been since Obama was in office, needed to buy a new tv, and it felt more like "electronics" Value City Furniture crossed with TJ Maxx than anything that came before it (Sun TV, Incredible Universe, etc).
At least at Micro Center you can expect a disheveled-yet-tucked-Oxford salesperson to come bother you until you say "I'm good, just put your sticker on the stuff I'm gonna buy" rather than some burned-out retail drone in a blue polo who tries to hard-sell you on a sound bar you didn't ask for!
Very cool! Can this be used for React Native as well?
Also, I have a live App Store/Google Play app written in React Native that was developed a few years ago by an outsourced development shop (in India).
I have the full code base up and running locally. Would love to build an LLM that could "read in" the entire code base and help me to fix bugs and add new features.
Any suggestions on how to go about doing something like this?
I have a part of the “dev loop” here that reads each file and “fixes it” based on user instruction. Look at the modification prompt I have. It certainly needs work however I think it’s the start of what could help you write a script to fix your code. I suggest using starcoder instruction fine tuned model instead however
Interesting perspective. I agree, especially with your second paragraph. It almost seems like the business models on the cases you cite (and others) are in part, "let's break the law but grow quickly and seem to benefit consumers and maybe workers to some extent, such that we can force changes in the laws."
This makes me very sad. Patrick H. Winston was a brilliant man and a very nice person. He was my student advisor at MIT and agreed to serve on the advisory board of a startup company I founded. I had the privilege of meeting him again at his lab a few years back. He was still doing leading edge research and had tremendous enthusiasm for his work and his students. He will definitely be missed.
You have been extremely lucky. I only had him for 6.034 and the overall encouragement he gave me and so many other students. Solving death simply must be a higher priority.
