I grew up in the states when I was younger, always feeling some closeness to Americans even after I moved back to Europe. With all that goes on it has changed. Recently I sat on a plane near some Americans discussing their holidays here, an

I imagine that the gap with current work can largely be closed, but are we really confident that this will hold with the new work that pops up? Increasingly I think we’re lacking imagination as to what work can be in a post AI world. I.e. c

For me this is the outcome of the incentive structure. The question is if we can seize the everything machine to benefit everyone (great!) or everything becomes cyberpunk and we exist only as prostitutes and entertainers for Dario and Sam.

From your perspective I feel like you have not spoken to many immigrants. Loyalty over ones own home country because you get a paycheck through some semi-exploitative H1B scheme cannot reasonably be expected.

In my view this is just an aquihire to get a headline and take ownership over this trend. Yet another pivot to build hype.

I wonder if we can tariff digital services. EU is behind partially because US eats all investment. Protectionism is an option.

I also think LLMs are well suited to find niche strange bugs way quicker. User posts esoteric error on the issues page. LLM with proper context may converge quickly, allowing the programmer to implement a fix.

This question is always strikes me as a false dichotomy, i.e. "we have to tax them, or else they leave". The issue is in my view is that constructing a system where the existence of such a rich class has become necessary to raise

The "small government" conservatives really showed their true faces in 2025 and 2026. Anyone espousing these ideas will not be taken seriously by me going forward.

This is a really funny perspective

Fair! I haven’t done any container related activities on Windows.

Honestly I reach for podman or `nix develop` any chance I get. What is the edge that docker provides these days?

Genuinely: why? I feel like they were our geopolitical adversary by proxy cause of USA, but is that still true?

Given the valuation of these companies the upside of "just lieing" is unfortunately high. For example taking a step back, it's crazy that people accept the idea of "AGI" (which drives the valuation partially) at fac

I have written a lot of Zig comptime code and ended up finding the opposite. In C++ I find I have to bend over backward to get what I want done, often resulting in insane compile times. I've used metaprogramming libraries like Boost Ha

I think you could argue that competition indeed makes the market efficient, but that we shouldn't conflate that with capitalism itself. Capitalism, in my opinion, can at times prevent competition due to the required capital investment

Another thing I tried as an alternative is using ZON (zig object notation) instead of json. This can natively be included directly as a source file. It involved writing a custom python exporter though (read: I gave up).

They become quite long, but it was surprisingly tolerable. I recall it vaguely but a 100MB neural network was on the order of minutes with all optimizations turned on. I guess it would be fair to say it scaled more or less linearly with the

Another interesting pattern is the ability to generate structs at compile time. Ive ran experiments where a neural net is implemented by creating a json file from pytorch, reading it in using @embedFile, and generating the subsequent a stru

I suppose the issue is a data problem, there being relatively little high quality data explaining how things should be solved in binary. As such making the learning mapping between prompt (english) and good solution (binary) difficult.

Not that I know of! Its an interesting idea though, as you say it should remain auditable. Along that line me wonder if it were possible to design an LLVM output (i.e. can work with existing code) that is extra well optimized for interop wi

In the end programming languages are tools, and tools are often designed to fit well in the existing ecosystem. E.g. python is “easy to type”, thus designed for the keyboard “meta”. Similarly, if one designs a language with synergy with LLM

Interesting. I wonder if its due to it having been trained on data from Humans. E.g. I guess humans “scheme” often when for example selling things, like in advertising: “I know how to solve your problem, and the best way is with my thing!”.

Are LLMs / AI attaining better results than the data they were trained on? For me, the answer is no: LLMs are always imperfectly modeling the underlying distribution of the training dataset. Do we have sufficient data that spans the en
