Very interestin discussion below/above. I just want to say that building with hempcrete, which relies on lime and NHL (natural hydraulic lime) or Baumit Trassitplus whic is some version of roman "cement" relies on may of these principles and is a "modern building technique". It's also much more carbon neutral than many other methods, can produce good thermal dynamics and "breathable" walls. And is DIY friendly.

Then the rye code "needs more meat" too yes, but not that much changes, |fix { code } already does the fixing and provides an alternative, |^check { failure construct dialect }, already wraps received failure into a new one you construct, and exits to caller. There are other such functions but these two are most common.

Additional benefit I see, they already express intent. Like map, filter, reduce express intent better than foreach loop.

But sometimes you must act on exceptional situations, recover, take alternative route, provide default, or translate exception from lower level one to a higher level one. From cause based to more intent based. Err, file not found setup.txt -> Couldn't read your setup -> ...

Which its great if this also doesn't loose lower level information, but just wraps it, so end user could dig into the error.

I agree, if you don't have a clear view on what you want to do on certain exception, or you are adding information or translating/wrapping error into a higher level one, then it can be cleaner to let program fail naturally in that specific case. Catch, print error and panic makes no sense in many cases and can make the exception less clear when it happens.

I'm the author. If anyone has any feedback, you are welcome ...

Generated images moved even faster than generated code in a way through it's cycle, so maybe there is a lesson there we can observe and that you also touch upon.

Well i would be very happy if i could write that instinctively (at least the feel/flow makes it seem like that) in english, but i can't even by a long stretch.

The article is me coping with my existential crisis, trying to explore and accept my fears by writing it. And by exploring ideas I think I found some vision for my stance in all this - or hope if you will. I hope these feelings will be real, and I can write a positive blog post also, but I can't be certain if the feelings will survive the scrutiny at this point, or are just warm fuzzy delusions and next level of cope (I had these periods few times in last year).

I'm just trying to say, I am definitely not trying to deliberately spread FUD to hinder the open web -if that was your impression :P

Guilty :]

And it's not just that the execution is faster now. The competition saw the "outer shell" of your idea. But LLM platforms (the forest) - they see the internals, if you used them to explore and develop it. They also see all similar ideas across the globe.

And they own - not rent the compute and models - as you do from them. If we want to extend this, they could "pre-cog" your idea and build it even before you do.

I'm not talking about what is happening now, I'm just playing out the thought experiment.

The dynamics at least with the space dark forest is different than when we live on the same planet. It has to do with lack/slow communication over vast space (that you can't trust anyway).

It relied on two principles "the chain of suspicion" and "technological explosion", which don't hold true if we are on the same planet. You can google it (or llm it) :)

This is interesting.

When I read if for the second time, trying to understand it - maybe even better match for the low orbit flying garbage would be "enshitification"? As the time goes on, more and more garbage is produced, and we have no clear way or specific motivated entity to start removing it so it just grows.
