Nobody really knows.

My hunch is that software is pretty much going to end the way we think of it today.

Hardware, too, but that will take longer. If you think big enough, the idea of waiting for a new TV or phone or gaming system when you can just have your agent take your description, spec and order the hardware and have it fabbed for you in days ... is kind of quaint.

The broad societal disruption will be pretty devastating. But looking at software as the microcosm really lets you dream (/nightmare) big.

To me the question is not will we be able to get anything we want how we want it, but more who will have money to buy this?

I think there's a big distinction between needing code - the machine abstraction for electrical logic gates - and code that will ever need to be read by a human.

Yeah we'll still need to know a sequence to flip bits in the right order, but it isn't code you'll recognize.

This is not an effective countermeasure.

You should definitely heed their advice in this case.

The AI assistance you need is "rewrite this in something else"

Robotaxi is trying to enter an already crowded market and isn't exactly flourishing there. I'm still seeing every one in Austin with a human behind a steering wheel.

As for the Semi, yeah, if it actually comes to fruition. But like all things Elon ... let's wait and see.

May have pre-dated you by a bit. Perl definitely took foot not long after but the earliest cgi-bin days were dominated by C before people got tired of fighting compilation for web apps.

IIRC the spec itself says it was built for C applications.

mod-perl was a godsend, of course.

I'd be shocked if many EU nations required domestic incorporation just to do legal/regulatory/consulting business there. Plenty of other multinational corps operate under their primary company.

But it could be the case!

What I suspect happened with Deloitte specifically is they found a way to appear to expand globally without taking on a lot of the risk. More like brand franchising.

Which is all to say that I wouldn't doubt Deloitte Cyprus (or other branches) have shady stuff going on, but that this structure wasn't designed specifically for that purpose.

He's definitely the one guy from the 20th century I can't really reconcile his capability and breadth, other than being an alien or a time traveller.

Why? It's the same concept and root cause it was when we first started using it.

We're gonna need a bigger ESP.

They'll push that date to November 4 any way they can.

I think you've dissected this metaphor more than was necessary.

Unless, as mentioned, it had some traction as a cure all around the time of COVID.

This happens periodically and is again happening with vitamin C (which, whatever, getting to any dangerous amount might be physically impossible).
