I know category theory and the Leech lattice.

I assure you brethren, that this project is unmitigated AI derived fresh organic faeculent material.

A pile of steaming sh*t like our esteemed elders used to say.

".Some questioned how handing out reprints of an editorial published in the ADA’s own journal, at the ADA’s own annual conference, could be construed as a violation of that code.."

How many million graduate students do you need to give the US the military hegemony and political influence over allies and adversaries that the F-35 program provides ?

Looked at from a policy maker's viewpoint, things look very different.

In the hands of a domain expert, AI is useful. In the hands of the naive, it is a foot gun.

I killed my Arch installation and was stuck at the GRUB prompt.Unwilling to brush up my rusty knowledge of GRUB syntax, I asked Gemini for help. The commands Gemini suggested would have wiped my hd...

Once Gemini was told that I was using BTRFS, the suggestion from Gemini looked a bit more sane, but still looked incorrect to me.

It was only after I informed Gemini that I was using a NMVE with BTRFS that it finally produced a sane command.

I know someone who is with a leading firm. He is involved in a new multibillion USD matter every month.

The clients simply do not care about the multimillion dollar legal bills, since it is just a rounding error at that scale.

I find it hard to see AI being integrated at that end of the market.

Thank you for your excellent book.

Your book is highly recommended in the Go community.

I will definitely be reading it once I finish "The Go programming language".

"The library’s stance, to put it simply, that the juice ain’t worth the squeeze when it comes to low level, compute-bound performance.

Designing software and data structures for performance against unknown use cases on unknown hardware is extremely difficult and the resulting code is much more complicated. Even then, it’s often better to use code written against your actual use case and hardware when performance is that critical.

Things that are off the table might be:

SIMD A highly optimized hash table rewrite Figuring out where inlining or LIKELY causes the compiler to produce better code."

LOL...

Classic vibe coder.

China going capitalist ( while remaining authoritarian ) has helped lift 800 million out of desperate poverty.

I hope that India too can emulate this in my lifetime. I was born in Kerala and would love to see Indians live in a country that is as wealthy per capita ( PPP adjusted ) as Singapore or failing that even as wealthy as the USA.

Capitalism has it's problems. But you struggling with rent is entirely your self-inflicted problem...
