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.

I'll check it out. Thanks.

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?

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.
