Is that so? Sounds like this commandment has a lot of authority, I'd better start following it.

You’re free to program in language with only one data type all you want!

I don't get the point at all of these. You:

- have very non-deterministic latency

- are located outside of a country that can protect you (ie China could disrupt your space data center)

- have to pay millions of dollars to swap out hardware

You’re also located outside of any country that could regulate

Yeah, I'm hoping they publish a lot more about this project! It deserves way more then the few sentences they've shared about it so far.
cousinbryce · 19 days ago
I’m interested to see how much more they know about the project

There’s more computing power in a disposable vape than in the Apollo Guidance Computer???
cousinbryce · 25 days ago
Yes, but there’s exponentially less talent on the engineering team

> The whole point of being rich is to get away from every single human being that doesn’t have to be nice to you.

This is false. Most rich people don't want to get away from every single human. (if they did they can find plenty of places to backpack). They want to get away from a few crazy people who stalk them.

Sounds like you’ve failed to “…get away from every single human being that doesn’t have to be nice to you”

There's nothing wrong with using something before learning it. In fact, I'd argue most people can't learn something without first using it.

You can read all the programming books in the world. Actually writing a hello world program will teach you far more.

If you want to learn to play guitar, you need to start practicing simple chords long before you ever learn theory.

Both right. Sucking at something is the first step to being kind of good at something. At the same time doing that in a professional environment sucks for your coworkers

20% loss isn't too bad if you start out at double the capacity though.

I've been thinking about something like this from a UI perspective. I'm a UX designer working on a product with a fairly legacy codebase. We're vibe coding prototypes and moving towards making it easier for devs to bring in new components. We have a hard enough time verifying the UI quality as it is. And having more devs vibing on frontend code is probably going to make it a lot worse. I'm thinking about something like having agents regularly traversing the code to identify non-approved components (and either fixing or flagging them). Maybe with this we won't fall further behind with verification debt than we already are.

That’s just static code analysis with extra steps

I wonder how many market inefficiencies this creates. People with worse education, people who cheated their way to a job opening compared to a better candidate, etc. Basically counteracting the productivity gains AI was supposed to bring.
cousinbryce · 3 months ago
There’s a corollary here. People with worse educations may be able to do much higher quality work.
