Buried in the lengthy conclusion at the end:
> Simplicity needs to be pervasive through the system, and further in the context it resides in, for one to benefit from it
This should have been the opening text of the essay.
- cyber_kinetist 4y agoBut this is what Jon would actually agree? (Design right abstractions for the right hardware?)
- travisgriggs 4y agoMaybe? One man’s abstraction is another man’s bureaucracy?
- cobertos 4y agoI think when they say "system" they mean "computing stack" from the gate-level up. You can't have a different simple on top of silicon that expects another type of simple. It's too incompatible with the throughout increase that pipeline and the specific caching implementation give. Though I don't think Jonathon Blow is necessarily ignoring the underlying silicon expectations from the Livestream or two I've seen.
