> False, it creates consumer demand for inference chips, which will be badly utilised.

There are so many CPUs, GPUs, RAM and SSDs which are underutilized. I have some in my closet doing 5% load at peek times. Why would inference chips be special once they become commodity hardware?

Thats the point, they’re better utilized in the cloud

Worst part about liquid glass changes is that it was probably rushed so they could cover for lack of AI features that they promised a year ago

I think zig is striving for language minimalism, make it minimal as possible then if a feature optimized multiple places use cases benefit

Once he fixes the past he will have more time to fix the future

js string builtin in wasm is a thing now, might be sharable across runtimes with special compile flags

The annoying thing about that proposal is having to use 16 but code units instead of 8 bit. I hope the stringref proposal can get beyond phase 1 because that does strings right imo.

Only contrast I see is that he thought it was much more of a corner case which turned out to be not that true anymore since everyone started using claude code.

Can't they do it here? or will the authorities go after these kind of upgrades?

on one hand they are loosing profit, on the other hand they are gaining on market share. They will probably wait a short while to assess how much they are willing to sacrifice profits for market share

Just like the GPUs.

NVIDIA started allocating most of the wafer capacity for 50k GPU chips. They are a business, its a logical choice.

> knuckle-draggers claiming that "Linux sucks because it can't play games"

they still do it because you can't play all the multiplayer games with kernel level anticheats

Let them have their rootkits, good riddens
