The biggest problem in C++ always comes from the fact that the there's no underlying stable ABI to take care of everything (and there cannot be due to performance reasons), and that build options are so important and affect the ABI. Mo

I agree with you. What you say has even more support in the fact that the one of the most notable achievement of GH Hardy is in field of biological statistics (population genetics), and according to him, his discovery of Ramanujan.

Well, for better or for worse, it is true that 9 dollar/hour or 1440 dollars/month would be a decent salary in India. Twice the current median. I saw your other comments, so I would add that while it is a decent salary in India. T

I don't think Marques is a tech journalist. He is a consumer goods journalist.You wouldn't see videos about architecture of Zen processor and their impact from Marques. Not a criticism, different fields.

Maths has also evolved to be complex now, with the proof of four-color theorem being a computer proof. So, the statement is not as true anymore. But there was a short era when proving that your "static" program was correct was imp

You could also do the same thing with a high-level language. Your LLM is nothing more than an interactive optimizer.

If you are using it for work, then it might be better to make everything paid. That would probably also reduce the cost per user, because we would have more users.

You can also pay the deficit from other taxes. That way, rich people can subsidize transport for poor people. Almost free public transportation helps people lead richer lives, so its also a productivity/quality of life issue.
