This looks like fake news. If there is a large number of such devices, they'd be discovered by the airport screening soon.

Is it easier to rewrite Bun than it is to rewrite Claude?

The claim that existing languages add inefficiency for LLM's lacks supporting evidence. The complexity of software engineering, both for people and LLM's, comes from issues other than syntax.

Many mobile J2ME games in the 2005-2015 had a similar size and were impressive too. Sometimes a time window appears and creates the economic incentives for optimization ingenuity.

I wonder if the incentive structure shaped by the internal MS metrics has been updated to reflect this commitment. Otherwise, little is going to change.

Once you enter the stadium or a concert, you become a part of the captive market. There exists an incentive to limit your choices and extract as much value out of you as possible. The limit to that is mostly defined by the organizer decency and the amount of pushback.

The experience is usually better at the smaller venues that aren't a part of strong fandom and more sensitive to the customer sentiment: indie cinemas, comedy clubs, etc.

In USSR they actually recognized gifted students and placed them into specialized classes and schools where they would thrive. They treated it as a matter of national security. The math circles and dedicated schools with STEM had the state support. The "equity" applied to the later stages of life - an engineer or a scientist would earn not much more than a blue collar worker.
