the sharp point on the bridge is going to hurt your snout.

Great writing. But: The printing press did displace manual copying of texts, not calligraphy. Digital type setting did not displace typography but the manual labor of type setting. In a similar vein I think AI code gen will displace code churn, the labor of linking libraries into an "App" and making it build. It won't displace coding.

also: lame, no sound :D

As an old scener myself I both love and hate it. The scene is about breaking rules, even it's own, and in that spirit it's hella cool.

On the other hand, at least for me, the scene was craft for crafts sake. Nobody would pay for somebody to optimize assembly code by the byte just to make art!

Spacepigs rule!

Super cool! Would love to see the build/deploy steps needed.

The corp speak bs is so strong in this one it could be mistaken for satire.

Twitter link is unreadable by clicking on it.

Really appreciate the very serious reply. But my initial comment had a very different intent: Economic analysis like in the linked article is crazy to me. Predictions for 15 years out! With graphs to support it! That seems mad to me, and especially the confidence of it.

Because this was a reply to my comment: It reads to me a lot like "you are reading the tea leaves wrong". Switch the graph, the time frame. But what would be a better way to talk about this? A more helpful and actionable one?

Lol, yes! I should take my dad's advice and buy forest land in Germany instead of US index funds. And this is not sarcastic - it might actually be the better strategy! But the article does not help me at all making that decision.

This article is initially very well written and convincing. And it started to stress me out a little bit! Am I at great risk for having most of my wealth tied to the dollar?

But taking a step back: It is making very strong predictions for a future state of what I would consider a chaotic system. As the author identifies as a Physicist and not a Psychic, why is there no mention of uncertainty? No mention of how you would test or refute the prediction?

Looking at very selectively picked graphs is like reading tea leaves.

If even just a few people read the article and change their investment strategy as a result you already affected the outcome.

Oh, but it's backwards. The call of "Fair Access to Banking" means actually "Easy Access to Suckers".

You can emulate synchronous await by using a worker thread, marshal your async operation to the main thread, then in the worker use Atomics.wait() to blocking wait on a SharedArrayBuffer variable. Once the async operation completes on main, write back the result to the SharedArrayBuffer and wake up the waiting variable. I believe that's also what emscripten uses to emulate synchronous posix calls.
