Absolutely. I love C# and .NET, they are incredible and very fast. I just meant to say that they aren't only focused on performance, but also focused on new features. One of the best things .NET did was adding minimal APIs in .NET 6 (I

I am not sure how to really refine this thought I have had, but I have this fear that every language eventually gets so bloated and complicated that it has a huge barrier to entry. The ones that stand out the most to me are C# and Typescrip

Agreed. Source available is also useful in high end environments to ensure security and reduce loopholes. This is very helpful for software used by security agencies, for example.

The vast, vast majority of rich people don't have tons of liquid capital sitting around. Most of Elon's wealth is in stock that would tank if he sold it. And you always want to diversify investment.

I like Sam's philosophy on this and I generally agree with him. However, I do not like how all the wealthy AI people are hand-waving the massive labor market shift in the coming years. > As one example, we expect that this technolog

There's plenty of open source AI out there that isn't Meta. It's just not as good. The #1 problem is not compute, but data and the manpower required to clean that data up. The main thing you can do is support companies and gr

A few weeks ago I randomly thought, "is there a market for a startup that creates EV fire extinguisher technology?" It seems even Tesla's recommendation right now is to just dump a ton of water on it. I'm not sure the vo

This is so cool. I love to see Javascript used for stuff like this. It blew my mind that the James Webb Telescope uses a custom Javascript runtime for a lot of the onboard functions.

I think they will get used to it quickly. This is how it used to be and parents had far less anxiety. I think at first it will be a very jarring change, but once they are through the worst part society will adopt quickly.
