It is accurate. Confirmed by Noam himself on X https://x.com/i/status/2067400851438932297

Reminds me of the Pirates of the Caribbean quote: "The world used to be a bigger place." "The world's still the same. There's just... less in it."

"I've never felt this much behind as a programmer. The profession is being dramatically refactored as the bits contributed by the programmer are increasingly sparse and between. I have a sense that I could be 10X more powerful if I just properly string together what has become available over the last ~year and a failure to claim the boost feels decidedly like skill issue. There's a new programmable layer of abstraction to master (in addition to the usual layers below) involving agents, subagents, their prompts, contexts, memory, modes, permissions, tools, plugins, skills, hooks, MCP, LSP, slash commands, workflows, IDE integrations, and a need to build an all-encompassing mental model for strengths and pitfalls of fundamentally stochastic, fallible, unintelligible and changing entities suddenly intermingled with what used to be good old fashioned engineering. Clearly some powerful alien tool was handed around except it comes with no manual and everyone has to figure out how to hold it and operate it, while the resulting magnitude 9 earthquake is rocking the profession. Roll up your sleeves to not fall behind."

According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, John Ternus will likely be the next Apple CEO. Some people thought that Jeff Williams was considered for the role. But the small age gap between him and Cook didn't really make him a viable option.

"But a friend told me something, that really stuck with me. He said that everybody has to give up on certain dreams in life. And it’s true. The more people you meet, the more you see in the way of broken dreams. It seems like almost everyone is coming to terms with something they expected to happen, but didn’t. And there’s a comfort in that." https://x.com/humansofny/status/1942629822125216080?t=QrZxAo...

Even if Siqi Chen said that this is what he's intending to do there were some on X that started to complain to him that they lost their savings. What are your thoughts? Could've been a better way of funding research without dealing with this kind of outcomes?

He will be 94 in August. He lost his friend and business partner, Charlie Munger, last year at 99. Maybe that was somewhat of a memento mori for him
