I would have like to see the map of cities that matches this 3-30-300 rule.

I agree for the comparison.

Now for Rust I don’t think it is going to change a lot. Because it is based on ML, it has the best foundations and all features are known. The question is more how much Haskell vs script/imperative do you want your language to be, and what’s the purpose of the language rather than we had the wrong paradigm and found a new better one. For Rust 99% of its features are known and most are already implemented.

Maybe things around the borrow checker, and await, but beyond that nothing as much as what C++ saw in its history. Even more when for instance you see the article from the guy doing Gleam where traits (impl) are not necessary, all you need is data and function to have the same functionality. Or how ML have been the main factor to most new languages or new features to existing languages.

The future is ML, with languages dedicated to specific use cases and niches. And also ML languages easily readable by AI.

As of today they can't. You have to tell them what the new API looks like, which new classes they have to create and describe them in detail, etc... You have new projects that try to add good practices in the prompt [0] or audit your code once in a while [1] but it's not enough.

Right now they can be autonomous to finding bugs and inconsistencies. But not architecture or even just creating a long enough PR without any guidance and feedback.

For sure this have been greenlighted all the way up to CEO so…

Fuzzing can help with that. But it’s not only applicable to Rust.

For Actix web he was using “unsafe” to increase performance. That doesn’t mean the code written was unsafe… The Rust community was turning to a cult on this topic when perfectly experienced C++ can write code would need the unsafe in Rust when they perfectly know the code isn’t. It’s good for the community to push people to avoid to use unsafe but not to that extend of drama and bullying…

This! I now have to fight bad tech decisions at my companies because many devs follow influencers.

Look also at the hate spread against UE5… It’s everywhere and half of the arguments are falsehoods made by influencers with no real experience in the industry…

> That is how all economies grow.

No it’s one way but there are many other ways. Look at the US, stating that they grew because China and the EU exported their industries there is simply false. But through technology advancements, market size, market leadership, etc… is closer to how they achieved their economic growth.

Interesting read. I totally agree but like he said it takes 2 to 4 times the time to generate one. With today’s prices for tokens it’s not affordable. But once models are getting cheaper and cheaper I am sure the industry will move to this.

You are mixing cost and progress. It’s not because it’s more and more expensive that progress is slowing down by itself.

I knew about this library but is it legal in the EU? Because that library works very well

> New grads who spend weeks refactoring code are going to get lapped by new grads who ship something and iterate. There's just a faster feedback loop now.

With AI becoming so prevalent, on the long run I won’t be so sure. True experts will become more and more rare.

It’s absolutely a move from Sam Altman’s playbook but it got traction because it’s not coming from Sam Altman and the US rejection helped to give credibility to fear Mythos’ findings.

Opus 4.7 may be incredible but for how long? And they may have Mythos but I feel like they will put it out if pressed too much by their competitors. And again for how long will they keep the advantage?

At the speed everything is advancing I don’t think it’s such an advantage. They all catch each other up pretty fast. That’s why I prefer to pay Cursors and have access to all of them instead of being lock to a single one (even if that means to lose some discounted credits). If they opened Mythos today at a good price that would be something but that’s not the case and it won’t happen.

> Tim Cook took Steve Job's vision and really took it to the moon.

He only carried what was left from Steve Jobs. But nothing special or groundbreaking came from him. Apple Vision failed, the transition to AI failed, many people still dislike what is done with the MacBook, he agreed to have the horrible glass UI design just like what Windows did a decade ago, and he failed to find the next Jony Ive, etc... Sure he was an awesome COO. But as a CEO, he was certainly way below Steve Jobs and even less taking his vision "to the moon".

It is. With 10k MRR it represents 0.15% of the revenue. Having the whole backend costing that much for a company selling web apps is like it’s costing zero.

I think there are less experts on HN than years ago or a decade ago. And the culture of HN is getting slightly changing to a more Reddit culture every year.

It’s too bad because it’s the only place I know where you have experts in tech but also in other industries. And where I got very interesting discussions.

15 years ago I had a Pocket Street Fighter game (Street Fighter characters in their baby version) and it was running fast even on a TI-89! You had 6 characters or so with Riu etc… It was really impressive. For sure the most well crafted back in the days.

I found it! It was called Texas Fighters: https://youtu.be/zZIqFJHe3yU?is=sVowojfWws9uwwRl

After the failure against countries with no military might like Vietnam, Irak, Afghanistan, and now Iran, I wouldn’t place a lot of importance into how much tech and quantity in the military plays a critical role into winning wars today.

> I don't see how any rational investor could still see US companies as a secure investment

You are right it won’t be as secured as before but it’s only risk management. As much as investing in a oil company in Brazil is a risk because you could have their government takeover the company to make it part of the government and screw you in the process.

It’s still tradable.

Yes and no. What many call "dying cash cows" are often doing just fine, it’s just our perception of it that make them want to die. An example: Facebook. Could be considered a dying cash cows while looking at its products but it’s actually a growing business. Despise what their products are, their lack of innovation, and them not being able to compete against TikTok or make the app that will replace it, their business and so their stock have been all increasing.

I copied your comment to Gemini Pro and it has some interesting things to say.

You could also check Matt Levine from Money Stuff - Bloomberg. He is quite known on HN. The way he writes plus his great knowledge with no BS makes him my favorite (and only) journalist I follow.

Edit: actually someone already found his article and posted it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47160848

Yes I came to the same conclusion. Just to add: be careful with Opus 4.6 guys. It’s expensive…

You know what after digging more into the subject I can say that you are effectively right. So thank you for taking the time and commenting on that. I still think it should be a tool a US president can have. Congress is not fast enough to put pressure and removing it as much as the executive branch can do. I think that this and similar economic tools are critical just seeing how thing are unfolding and how the future is going to look like.

For DOJ ya I meant the judicial branch.

I am not sure what you are not understanding since you know there are 3 branches.

The judicial has no say on this. The judicial branch is more and more pushing political agenda when it’s not their role. Tariffs were always part of the executive branch, it’s by itself an executive action in the spirit of the law. Still if the US decides that it should not be part of the executive branch anymore, it is not to the judicial branch to decide! But it is up to the legislative branch.

This is what I am saying. Plus the fact that the US is stripping more and more power from a branch called the "executive branch" making it less and less what it is supposed to do.

People may or may not have voted for Trump but I find this extremely disturbing. Unless it’s illegal when did the DOJ become involved in politics and policies? They are more and more stepping outside of their role. Setting tarifs is one of the tools and role of the executive branch. This will limit even more what a president can and cannot do.

This whole thread of discussion and elsewhere, it's surreal... Are we doomed? In 10 years some people will literally worship some AI while others won't be able to know what is true and what was made up.

> Oh, no, not this false dichotomy again!

> People protest to affect political change in their own countries.

Hu? What about Palestine? Is it the US? People can protest about anything they want. Foreign policy or international intervention (in any form) are 2 of them. If people think they need their government to do something about a foreign country they can protest. And many times when people have double nationality they can also protest for their own country.

Protest is not only for political change in our own country. As much as people can protest for Palestine, people can also protest their own cause about what is happening in Iran.

It almost makes Israel look like they are not there to wipe out Palestine

I really don’t understand why in the West there is nobody in the streets to protest but there was so many people for Palestine… Where are the people?
