Robert Moore and Paul Rother, Hybrid Arts MIDIMate   Robert Moore and Paul Rother were two of the founders of Hybrid Arts, along with Frank Foster and Alan Hart. Hybrid Arts created the MIDIMate, hardware that added Musical Instrument Digital Interface capability to the the Atari 8-bit computers; and various software for it including MIDITrack. Hybrid Arts continued on to make a wide variety of MIDI and music software for the Atari ST (which has built-in MIDI) including EZ-Track.   Paul was the programmer, Robert the music and sales person, and Frank Foster was the marketing person. Frank couldn't make it to this interview due to scheduling issues, but he'll be in my next interview.    This interview took place on January 18, 2024.   Video version of this interview   Hybrid Arts Timeline, Founders, and Goals document by Robert Moore   Hybrid Arts - Revolutionize the Process of Modern Movie Making   Hybrid Arts on Computer Chronicles (starts at 8 minutes)   8-bit Hybrid Arts software at AtariMania   Atari ST Hybrid Arts software at AtariMania   MIDI Track III Manual   Midipatch: DX Editor for Yamaha DX manual   mt-32pi Roland MT-32 emulator   Support Kay's interviews on Patreon

In this episode, we begin by exploring Artificial Intelligence as we know it today, delving into its current applications and potential. Following that, we'll air a couple of classic episodes from The Computer Chronicles, a highly respected PBS show that originally aired from 1983 to 2002. Produced by the College of San Mateo in California and hosted by Stewart Cheifet, the show was pivotal in documenting the growth of the computer industry, offering a unique look into early hardware, software, and technological innovations. These episodes highlight the foundations of modern AI technology.In the third part, we'll feature an episode from Ask NASA, where Beck and Farah and others explain how NASA leverages AI in space exploration and scientific research.In the fourth segment, we'll tune into a podcast from the Internet Society's Online Safety Special Interest Group (SIG), focusing on AI safety and ethics. Following this, we'll listen to a podcast from the Internet Society Online Safety Norway Chapter, featuring Bjorn Remsth, Vice President of Electric Frontier Norway, as he discusses the future of AI regulations. His insights provide a deep dive into the governance challenges and the responsible development of AI technologies.gies.

Original text by Henry Bortman. Be's roller coaster ride from 1990-1998: the 1995 O.J. Simpson trial, Commodore's Irving Gould, a thirty-mile hike to the sea, headhunting disgruntled Apple employees, and what to do when Apple says you're not allowed to exhibit at WWDC 1996. Jean-Louis Gassée's story about having dinner with John Sculley from the 2011 Steve Jobs Legacy event at the Churchill Club. The 1996 BeOS vs. NeXTSTEP bakeoff story as told by Avie Tevanian. Acorn co-founder Hermann Hauser reflecting on Larry Tesler choosing ARM over the AT&T Hobbit. Guy Kawasaki on corporate offsite retreats. The Computer Chronicles stops by the Be, Inc. booth at Macworld Boston 1996. Steve Sakoman left Be for Silicon Graphics in 1994, then returned to Be in 1996. He went back to Apple in 2003, and according to Jon Rubinstein, was supposed to be Avie Tevanian's successor in 2006 but “didn't get the tap on the shoulder”.

This week, we talk to Carl Malamud, heralded as "The Father of Internet Radio". We trace Carl's journey from the early buzz of bulletin board systems to setting up the first-ever Internet radio station back in 1992. Carl shares tales from the creation of his flagship show "Geek of The Week," where Internet legends like Tim Berners-Lee took the mic, to orchestrating the monumental Internet 1996 World Exposition, a digital World's Fair that connected millions globally.

Why didn't Apple's Unix-based A/UX become the Mac OS of the future? Original text by Basal Gangster. UniSoft mentions A/UX exactly once in the darker recesses of its website. A/UX 1.0 demo on the Computer Chronicles, 1989. Demo starts at ~19 minutes. Watch the announcement of Carbon at WWDC 1998. Sean Parent describes how Carbon almost didn't happen, a classic case of sticking to your guns until Steve Jobs adopts your idea. The fight over multiuser features and authentication requirements for Mac OS X as told by Avie Tevanian and (separately) Steve Jobs. Bill Warner tells his story about founding Avid and switching from Apollo workstations to the Macintosh. Individual parts: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 (the Mac part). Cropped 16:9 in one piece. Watch Bill Warner demonstrate the Avid/1 Media Composer on a Macintosh II in 1989 for an Avid promo tape and for WBZ TV Massachusetts.

The Macintosh's year in review for 1988: some reached milestones, some threw stones, and some wished they'd stayed at home. Original text by the late Charles Seiter, Macworld, January 1989. Macworld: In Memoriam. Charles was just 58 when he passed. If you ever spotted a heavy math, science, or programming and development tool-related article in Macworld, you could be certain to find Charles' name nearby. I believe this particular article was, unfortunately, his only excursion into humorous editorials. I had a little contact with Charles back in 2004 after I thanked Macworld's team of contributing editors for teaching me that, contrary to what I had been taught in school, writing could be fun. Clip of Jean-Louis Gassee's story about having dinner with John Sculley from the 2011 “Steve Jobs' Legacy” event at the Churchill Club. Even the Newton marketing team acknowledged people sort of looked down upon John Sculley's technical background. Gassee's new book “Grateful Geek” is out now. His old book is too. nVIR clip from Don Swaim interview with Cliff Stoll, author of The Cuckoo's Egg. The WayBack Machine does not have the source file but I do. The Computer Chronicles' whirlwind tour of Boston Macworld Expo 1988. Bill Gates' observation about borrowing ideas from Xerox. On the DRAM crisis of 1988. Mainframe and VAX connectivity makes up a fairly large percentage of the marketing material coming out of Apple in the late ‘80s, as you can see from The ReDiscovered Future and the Apple User Group VHS Archive. As told by Bob Supnik and many others, DEC was already thoroughly doomed by the late 1980s. Pre-QuickTime Video production on the Mac II was, by today's standards, weird and expensive. WordPerfect 1.0 and 2.0 weren't heralded as very Mac-like, unlike v3.5, which shipped around the time Microsoft Word 6 ate everyone else's lunch. Not all early CD-ROM titles were as compelling as Myst: About Cows v3.09, $40USD. How AutoCAD was ported to the Macintosh II–with a dirty hack. Apple and Stephen Wolfram pushing Mathematica 1.0. The first few years of fax software on the Macintosh were a bit of a disaster. Apple'e entry was particularly embarrassing. Macworld even called the AppleFax software/hardware package “beleaguered”. 1989 was the year John Norstad's Disinfectant began to spread like wildfire. We usually received a new version every 3-6 months via my father's employer. It's remarkable software distribution at that scale happened at all when you think about how few people people had modems back then.
