I have strong conviction that companies will now choose tech stack/programming languages based on 'tokenomics'. I am vibe coding using Clojure, a language I can read but cannot write and I never hit the usage limits even when using the latest model on Claude. I have similar experience with F#, which is a bit more verbose than clojure but absolutely beats every OOP language, Python, Typescript etc.

The reason, I use F# & Clojure is they hit JVM and CLR, two popular enterprise stacks.

In my not so humble opinion Lisp(Clojure) still remains the language of AI.

I once did some research on Mirai and found at that time Plano, TX where Toyota NA is Headquartered did not have a Hydrogen station. Not sure if they have one now. It is such a limited car and because of the infrastructure stuck to LA and San Diego, I guess.

Pure range is 500+ miles but not many Hydrogen stations.

thank you for fighting the enshitification of American Experience.

Good to know I am top 1% of something. You made my day bro!

I have donated and was immensely disappointed the donations thus far are about $16K.

note to self: take HN righteous indignations less seriously.

The academic fraud in US is at its peak. Harvard President was caught red handed plagiarizing. Many scientific papers are not reproducible and more than 50% in some cases.

Most academics are sophist. Most universities practice scientism instead of science.

Erudition has been replaced with test taking and sophistry.

Birds did not read Ornithology to fly. Accumulation of knowledge is useful but real world experience and hard earned wisdom is more important.

That is what you test-taking, credential hustlers do not understand.

take a look at coal consumption in China. https://www.researchgate.net/publication/361652086/figure/fi...

In India, The lower level bureaucracy lives off people and higher level bureaucracy lives off state.

In US, the bureaucracy lives off entirely on State. That is why it feels less corrupt.

$36 Trillion in debt but fights are on one million dollar budgets.

The book - PMPP - Programming Massively Parallel Processors

The YouTube Channel - CUDA_MODE - it is based on PMPP I could not find the channel, but here is the playlist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LuhJEEJQgUM&list=PLVEjdmwEDk...

Once done, you would be on solid foundation.

So this is speculation that laws "may" be broken but nothing beyond that. Might be harassed. Even by HN standards this daily Elon burning rituals are a new low.

A hostile regime 90 miles from US mainland will be treated differently. Cuba is not some vanilla leftist regime that has no love for America. Cuban intelligence and elite for the past 50 years have been active subverting US interests. A unilateral withdrawal of sanctions would mean rewarding bad behavior. Do not let the small size of Cuba underestimate them, they are behind all major anti-American activity in Latin America. They were are major force supporting Maduro in Venezuela.

Why does not the Communist regime in Cuba "open up"? Because they know the day Cuba becomes a multiparty state with elections -- they have to run out of the country. Both Cuban and Venezuelan elite along with many Caribbean states are active in Drug Dealings and Money Laundering.

Yes, the hawks in US have a role but they are not only active players, there are hawks in Cuba too.

This is classic demonstration of the fact, you do not have to get most of the things right, but extract maximum value when you are right.

We have the excellent advantage of hindsight but definitely in 2007 the general agreement was Microsoft was losing to Google and Apple, which were the darlings of the stock market while Microsoft remained stagnant.

Instead of slashing the sale price, incentivizing leases seems to be the go to for now in the EV market. You can only kick the can so much -- 2024 December will be a glorious time to buy vehicles.

The power of Intolerant minority is covered by N.N.Taleb.. the easy examples are Kosher and Halal foods becoming mainstream even though the size of minority itself is small.

Fat Web Client are generally bad idea and most sites are better off being Thin Web Clients with Servers doing heavy lifting and lite frameworks like htmx fill in the gaps.

The more appropriate analogy is, you do not need a sky-crane to build a single family home.

AI is useful especially when there is a tight feedback loop. Validating what the AI suggests via a 'System' or a Competent Mahoot riding it. I find it incredibly useful when I am specific and can test out.

I installed the new Ubuntu LTS and was trying to install a cargo package and was running into issue. Google/Bing search took me on a tangent. I put in the error in ChatGPT 3.5, got exact apt install to solve the issue and it worked when tried.

A million of these a day is going to have one heck of an effect on the planet.

I am not saying AI fixes the search but the Search Results are hit and miss any way. The real low hanging fruit are the domains, where the existing system is hit and miss.

The AI long case is, that People are also glorified LLMs/Pattern-matching machines. People who can make Computers sing will make AI sing (most likely). For most domains, AI elevates their 'base line' from the existing floor.

C is Lindy. People will be writing C code in 2072.

Primagen is not everyones cup of tea. I enjoy his videos and he does it in a fun way. Could there be more value per minute, definitely. In his case, the medium is the message - keeping his twitch/youtube audience engaged with video means there are trade-offs. I find he does good within the medium in a honest way.

Casey has his 'nominally' priced course, which is excellent. I recommend it.

I am excited about the future movie "Saving Forest Rain".

You are missing the forest for the trees. US cities are smaller in a pedantic sense. That is why planners and intelligent people use Metro area statistics for population, traffic, infrastructure planning etc.

Dallas population about 1 million. Dallas metro - 7.7 million. This is an important distinction missed out.

A man's urge to be a Hero and save the day, and a bureaucrat's fear of losing reputation are a deadly cocktail.

I have Gemini Advanced, do I get access to this? Google is giving Microsoft run for money for branding confusion.

Yes, India is not liberal and Yes, India has leaders who concentrated power in their hands overrode the States. On the other side of the spectrum if you have lived experience of the 80s, you would understand chaos and anarchy of multiple ethno-insugrencies. As a man who grew up in South India, I am proponent of State's rights etc. But it's not magic, India's geography and demogrphics compel, this cycle of powerful center that is near authoritarian to weak center that is a monumental chaos. In between there are periods of some balance. That was the nature of India since the Mahajanapadha period.

.net development on VSCode is not a good story. C# Devkit may change it but Omnisharp was not such a successful story.

Increasing complexity to push novelty that has nothing to do with core functionality. Increasing more points of failure while incorporating second rate hardware with third rate software.

Resume Driven Design/Development in hardware is hard to hide compared to software.

Lesson learnt, removed 'baby' for the sake of brevity. Did not realize it has become such a pejorative (thought it was only in niche circle things). As a late Xer, I think I do not have my finger on cultural pulse.

Cloud optimization is the next Kubernetes.

Thank you, bought the audiobook.

How much of this is related to boomer nerds being booted or retiring. Has our skill and knowledge in Aviation has atrophied? I know Financial Engineers are menace to the society because of their pre-mature optimization of bottom line.

Did Boeing lose any skill or knowledge due to moving out large swath of their factory floor to South Carolina from Washington.

which book or website has this kind of information?
