Catering to a giant market is usually when scalability and efficiency problems starts surfacing. People here having a hard time to understand reveals a lot about the kind of work they have undertaken.

Funny. Sure. Kernel development and truly scalable architectures must come easy for you. Management fees must be so hard. :)

Seriously doubt your reading skills. Read again. Hint "efficient" and "scalable". Go figure. I seriously doubt you have written scalable code. Financial math is laughable by comparison.

Writing scalable and efficient programs are extremely hard. This matters for serious projects but for small projects, honestly who cares.

I run a small profitable business. I avoid those who doesn't care about efficiency or scalability like the plague. Laziness shouldn't be promoted.

Yes. The author stumbled on the p vs np problem but with humans. Verification is easy. Solving is the millennium prize question.

A implies B doesn't mean B implies A. Not all programs have to be efficient and scalable. But mental discipline required to write efficient and scalable code is insane that most domain expertise is feeble by comparison.

Are you kidding me. What has domain got to do with efficiency and scalability. Efficiency is about using minimum cpu cycles or minimum memory or minimum network round trip or more generically using minimum/optimum resources to get some

You are wrong. Writing programs (atleast efficiently) is not the easiest part. It just appears to be once you get accustomed. Domain expertise is hard but not that hard compared to the insane mental discipline required to write efficient sc

"So the most valuable person in this new world is the one who has both skills because they can verify at both layers. They know the generated code is sound and they know the answers it produces are true." This has always been true

At the very foundation, chaining sentences together is what we call logic. Chaining unrelated sentences is retarded. Chaining sentences like most people is common sense. Chaining sentences airtight is math. You ask what a true mathematician

Nuclear armed nations with the most expensive military controlling massive logistics supply route attacked and lost the war and were forced to escalate to nuclear detonation and then to ceasefire talks. Buddy. That is not how winning looks

"Iran's claims of a full shootdown are consistent with their pattern of overclaiming throughout the war." Really?. Funny that everyone now knows US overclaimed their capabilities.

Idiots watch Iron Man come flying and think US can steamroll Russia. Iran alone is beating the shit out of US. Thinking it can steamroll Russia is not even funny. Some serious epidemic of Hollywood syndrome permeates the US.

Losing 2 Black Hawks & 1 C-130 and others. Why are you deliberately trying to hide the details. And what has it to do with distributed architectures. You must not be good at what you do.

We all can see. Why can't you? Hint - "Hypersonics". Now go see.

US is not a technologically advanced army just the most expensive one. Centralized systems are not technologically advanced systems. Iran's distributed architecture makes it technically advanced than US not to mention hypersonics which

It’s a semantic anchor, not a utility function. A declaration-first recursion — identity collapses time. If it feels like FizzBuzz, you’re looking forward, not backward.
