Why oh why does the website start playing music user didn’t ask for?

it's fun!

Uber has 32,000 employees? That’s wild!

Famously not including drivers.

Expanding on just a snarky comment, Uber stated to have north of 7M monthly drivers ([1], OP mentions 10M, but with no qualification), so 32k/7M = 4.5 employees for every thousand drivers. Even with the cuts. That's a scrum team per 2000 drivers. Idk what this says but thought it to be interesting

2^128 is still a huuuuuge space.

It is big but the preconditions shave off a lot. You need to get to display memory and also get to a sound port and need to do both in a loop where each varies. And you need to build it out of valid instructions. That puts you at more like 2^75. Only a tiny fraction of those outputs will have any complexity. And only a tiny fraction of those will be aesthetic.

I don’t bet on us finding a -ton- of interesting sound plus video demos in 16 bytes.

In this day, I actually appreciate imperfect human written content.

Too much AI slop, perfect grammar but no substance out there.

This seems like a substance filled book.

Congrats on shipping a book.

Eric Schmidt made billions, probably 10s of billions from Google becoming an AI behemoth. The young graduates who can't find a job, will likely not be able to afford a median home in their 20-30s due to their debt growing faster than earnings. It is a stark difference.

"You have the power to shape AI" - So many empty words spoken!

Not wrong in the cause, but not right in the proposed solution.

I wish the thoughts weren’t AI slop.

The point of rust was to be low level, and take entire classes if use after free and double free bugs out using strict compiler enforcement.

That is a biiiiiiiiiig deal. So yeah that is why Zig is inadequate as the project scales.

What can UN really do? It has no army, it’s a big org with ton of member states and its politics.

Usually might is right and UN has very little might.

UN doesnt need army to name the aggressor who killed tens of thousands of civilians and just bombed their convoy. Secretary-General not bowing to putin during photo ops and not stuffing his stupid face with russian delicacies legitimizing BRICS could also go a long way.

One layer above html is having Claude produce .jsx or .tsx files.

Because it can have little components with jsx (html like) bits, it’s fairly human readable and editable.

Components give it semantic compression and the high level scan makes it easier to understand and change.

KORU went nuts this last month. Don’t know how much near the peak we are but anything that goes up this fast, usually comes down too.
