  • Modularity is nice — both for personal preference reasons and incentivizing-market-competition reasons — but it does come at a cost.

    The thing is: even in our modular world right now, you don’t really have many choices. Two CPU companies, three GPU companies (two of them being the same as the CPU companies)…

    We could someday have a world where PC hardware is technically less modular than it is today but consumers have more choices in the marketplace than they do today.

  • iGPUs should have been a better option, but they were hamstrung by PCI conventions and graphics APIs favoring discrete VRAM.

    (Just look at how x86 SoC consoles run circles around similar-spec PCs.)

    I’m hoping that ARM is a chance to reset.

  • Now I’m no economist, but…

    Isn’t inflation the result of spending more into the economy than we tax back out?

    So their suggestion is:

    When we decide to take it easy on taxes so that people can hold onto a little extra money, the people who successfully gathered some of that extra money from lower taxes… should pay even lower taxes.

    Did I get that right?

    That kinda sounds like they don’t trust the market to equitably allocate public resources and they want the government to step in and redistribute wealth.

  • If a weak crypto market can tank your company, I’m not sure you should be trusted for business advice.

    Still, maybe he’s exactly the right kind of businessman for these times. Genuine value and productivity don’t matter anymore. It’s a potemkin economy, so why not staff it with potemkin labor?

  • Palantir has been doing this for ages, but yeah the LLM aspect is an interesting evolution of it. Probably overkill in the long term, but the availability and (for now) affordability is the main selling point.

  • If only it was just a problem of understanding.

    The thing is: Programming isn't primarily about engineering. It's primarily about communication.

    That's what allows developers to deliver working software without understanding how a compiler works: they can express ideas in terms of other ideas that already have a well-defined relationship to those technical components that they don't understand.

    That's also why generative AI may end up setting us back a couple of decades. If you're using AI to read and write the code, there is very little communicative intent making it through to the other developers. And it's a self-reinforcing problem. There's no use reading AI-generated code to try to understand the author's mental model, because very little of their mental model makes it through to the code.

    This is not a technical problem. This is a communication problem. And programmers in general don't seem to be aware of that, which is why it's going to metastasize so viciously.

  • Yes, but you do need to be careful with what level you test at. Too high level and the tests may be slow, flaky, and difficult to focus onto small details. Too low level and they may just bake-in the existing implementation.
