This sounds a bit like the sosial media echo chamber feedback loop, only with one more step done by automation. Now have the LLM post back into a wide variety of internet services and it becomes hard to find authentic information on the top

We are probably going to go around the packaging wheel until we come up with one that does first class sandboxing. Any bets on webassembly?

I wonder if replacing the type system in Go with the one in Rust and adding native Actor model support would be doable. Or if GC and compile time would regress too much. Modern languages without good sum types just seems like such a lost op

I’ve worked with a dev (extreme example) that said why “don’t you just…” and delivered at 10x from A to B only to find the going from B to C is now a daunting task, because of how we got to B. It is a lot like the sysadmin that gets praised

The absolute pain when the entire song is delayed by 10ns or what not. If only I could compensate by pushing play a little bit faster.

I think electrical engineers having done some RF designs generally regard audiophiles as flat-earthers explaining what is wrong with a flat map; they might get it right now and then, but always for the wrong reasons. Remember how in the 90t

An underlying problem here is that we have come to favor computers that scales out the Von Neumann architecture with more cache coherent cores and more memory. If we take the path of hardware that implements smaller Von Neumann scales, and

A bit like seeing «car built in carbon fiber”. May poke the interest in materials or imply different quality attributes and design intent.

I remember working on some telecom equipment in the 90ies. It had a x86/Unix feature rich distributed management system. In other words complicated and expected to fail. The solution was a “watch dog” circuit that the main CPU had to p

Also a major issue was the big iron shared memory systems that Itanium targeted. They collectively fell out of favor with the trend towards Virtualised x64 commodity clusters and later the cloud. I’d love to see an EPIC strategy for a CPU t

Forced breaks from the intermittent reinforcement loop of online casinos has been used with some success in reducing addictive behavior. This seems analogous to having breaks in auto play.

Yes, I more accurately moved form "normal diet" including beer, processed food and fast carbs to eating much more vegetables with oil and spices rather than sauce. I don't like the "looks like meat" vegetarian stuff

In the western world the default is a high-carb diet. Moving away from that i probably beneficial to most people. My personal journey has been from a rather normal western diet towards more vegetarian, but i still don't mind a little b

I think of open source as a force of nature, sure you can create incentives in your own proximity, and if you are FAANG the radius can be huge, but finite. The fundamental failure here is not related to open source but in how software is in

In networking we have TCP global synchronization. This is probably going to be similar for a couple of cycles, but for goods. Also LEAN is the practice of globally optimizing a system, with the less known drawback of making it globally frag

I’m not aware of any pumped hydropower, but we can buy cheap and use less of the stored water when prices are low. The dams have capacity to store water on a seasonal timescale. However with shifting weather patterns and more renewables the

If humans could live to 200, imagine the wealth and power the top leaders, political or corporate, could accumulate. Now pray it never happens?

I’m sure we can do better, but not sure exactly how. Working with longer time periods for incentives is probably of importance. Actively nurturing creative behavior rather than just risk mitigation also. I think this is something organizati

Once an organization has grown to multiple layers of management the people on top will eventually become those who are good at climbing the ladder. How we choose our leaders is IMHO one of the most important problems we yet don’t really und

I’m on thin ice here. A systems complexity can be measured in the number of tops it has. As in different ways to see it as hierarchical. Could it be that OO favors systems with one top? The tomato example comes to mind. Is it a fruit or veg

On the server side I think Linux will be replaced with something more resembling a hypervisor for WASM rather than another OS. Of course even here Linux will die at mainframe speeds if not slower. As a toolbox for IT experts it may live on
