Plus the only group with any disposable incomes increasingly becomes the super rich. So all the support functions of this… restaurants, high end boutiques, wellness clinics, tailors, … start to cluster. The servant class then push prices up further by trying to live a commutable distance to work.

What is a beam solver?

Were you able to rig up the solver to the running game?

Curious what this looks like!

Cool game.

Seeing as this is HN, please can you talk tech stack?

In the early days of music streaming, many of the entrants were seeding their service with vast libraries of pirated content. The winners cut deals with the copyright holders and then went after the rest.

I have a theory that LLM generated code in a highly modular style (simple data, pure functions) will be easier to “recover” by a human team when the LLM gets muddled. So Haskell, basically.

Looks like a nice language. They market it as a Rust-like looks more like an ML to me.

> all that matters is that the properties of the system are validated

I don’t think this is possible in practice without leaning on the stability of the code base.

Not a bad solution at all. It does require some discipline to write deterministic templates etc. though.

This feels like a “sell the shovels” move. Social media is full of “this one prompt to get rich quick”. It’s the new “one weird trick”.

Cut juniors for AI

Save money

Invest in market share

Increase market cap

Hire the last remaining seniors at higher rates but only where needed

Great time to be a shareholder or staff level engineer. For everyone else, the ladder has been pulled.

Pretty good performance for low effort is a big win.

Build systems are a much harder problem, probably because mainstream languages are all edited the same way, but not built the same way.

The closest we have right now are build systems in the Bazel / Buck2 lineage.
