Your brain is analysing the light in the "room" when zoomed out and compared to that it looks moist. When you zoom in there is no reference. I think then the brain switches from "real scene" analysis to "abstract".

It is a bit like those illusions where one grey looks darker than the other, based on surrounding shadows in the image and what the brain assumes... but the RGB values are the same.

Microsoft and Apple can afford to keep developing a browser. Hopefully FF can get money from another knowledge discovery company e.g. Anthropic? OpenAI?

Apple has no incentive to develop a browser.

Why not? They develop an OS when they could use Linux.

I wonder what stopped me being at that level. Mostly attitude, fear and perhaps aptitude. I liked things that were easy to install and follow tutorials. I got into Visual C++ as it actually installed as opposed to a magazine cover Linux distributionn that barely run. I think having the main system (gotta get those grades) takes most of the energy for most people. Either those who are happy to drop out or genius enough to both study and hack survive to do really cool stuff.

I think you have to do it when you have a project or on job. Since it takes a couple of years for him to get a working kernel, this type of long term commit is not available to many people.

Well done. No mean fear getting to 250k. I hope you can get to 1M as hiring people with just 250K is challenging (unless you are not paying yourself).

He’s in Russia where it’s a lot more doable.

It wouldn't exist at all. It isn't AI.

By my count they mention AI seventeen times on their homepage.

Plus, what will the other 18 people on the team do? Burn their cash using and inserting "AI".

Judging from their web site, so called AI is at the center of their offering.

That doesn't apply to Trump. s/law/what actually goes down/

Trump and his administration have explicitly directly claimed that they are the law, at least in as much as the executive branch should believe. They gave an executive order instructing every employee and official of the executive that they shall wholly and exclusively defer to the interpretation of the law as dictated by the president.

It is even better to have 100 functions work on 100 data structures. Powerful programming languages like Lisp and Haskell give you that. Generics gives you most of that.

If every ounce of performance matters, e.g. in a database, you want 10000 functions, 100 for each data structure.

Lisp gives you an infinite amount of functions that operate on one data structure: the cons cell. :P

I guess all you really need are dynamically allocated arrays. A cons cell is an array of two. A struct with N fields is an array of N. Everything else is built on that.

But compilers write 99.99% of all machine code in production. We should be out of a job, right.
