<p>I think the point is that automatically-generated documents by LLM is lower quality the manually-generated ones or at least guaranteed lower quality than automatically-generated + manually-reviewed.<p>Therefor if you are not putting human effort on the document it is low-value.<p>We have seen this before when big data started to be a thing, tons and tons of reports being auto-produced weekly (or even daily), but even if they contain relevant information they are low-value because no one can take action on so much information.</p>

<p>If you look into large fully-vibecoded projects getting styling changes to work is a nightmare. The problem with agents is using them on large projects without manual review for consistency, guidelines and taste. Doesn't really matter the type of project.<p>Agents can't look at a large system holistically, guidelines on .md files only go so far.</p>

<p>Raspberry Compute Module (basically a normal raspberry without built-in I/O) is widely used in the industry at large. What they are not meant to be is the lowest cost per CPU/GPU flops so they are mostly used in high-value-add / low-volume / gen-1 products.<p><a href="https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-5/?variant=cm5-104032" rel="nofollow">https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/compute-module-5/?varia...</a><p>I personally worked on a system with raspberry compute modules 3 and 4, the total system cost was in the ~million dollar range. This was definitely a commercial product with dozens of engineers doing R&D, not a hobby project.<p>We were looking into smaller systems with lower profit margins (~20k USD) and for those we were considering moving away from raspberry CMs because of cost.<p>The main advantage of the raspberry CM ecosystem is just how widely popular it is and how cheap and available "dev boards" are (just grab a non-CM raspberry and it is almost the same thing). Most of these types of systems don't really have the I/O that makes testing and developing a lot easier.<p>Being popular is quite important because firmware issues are notoriously expensive to troubleshoot and fix often requiring the manufacturer help. Said manufacturer does not give a damn if you are a low-volume customer. More popular systems have more information available online and are less likely to have bugs (or at least the bugs are known).<p>I remember one of our other systems bluetooth module had a weird edgecase bug that caused the module to shutdown after several days of it being powered on. It took multiple engineers >1month of work to basically go "yep nothing we can do about this and manufacturer is not helping"<p>I know they are being used in Ukranian drones and some police-car systems in some cities (although this was hearsay from a coworker and I don't remember the city). But those are just the examples I heard of.</p>

<p>The ABI stuff is huge, we might be heading (at least in the WASM world) to a place where non-C libraries are not locked to certain dev ecosystems. On top of not having to deal with C linking madness.</p>

<p>sorry I meant "most excited about", WASI and components should be useful for the usecases I mentioned too.<p>For example a SaaS services that accepts WASM plugins could provide a WASI that lets the plugin write to a object-store filesystem (like AWS S3) provided by the SaaS owner.</p>

<p>Use cases I am more excited about:<p>1) Replace webhooks in web apps with wasm binaries provided by the customer, but that run in the web app servers.<p>2) Safer plugin system for professional software (plugins for photoshop, plugins for IDEs, etc)<p>3) Safer mod system for games and server-side mods that run on the game-maker server.</p>

<p>I was thinking mainly cases like this<p>const nestedDependency = {
  a: {
    b: {
      c: 'c'
    }
  }
}<p>useMemo(() => nestedDependency.a.b.c, [nestedDependency])<p>vs<p>useMemo(() => nestedDependency.a.b.c, [nestedDependency.a.b.c])<p>neither triggers react hook lint warnings, although I guess this is more relevant to useEffect than memoization.</p>

<p>I haven't tried the compiler yet, but I been very skeptical of the automatic memoization features. Both in that sometimes the default strategy to decide when to memoize is not good enough but also the hidden flow to trigger the memoization causing hard to spot performance regressions.<p>I would be interest to hear how it worked out for you.</p>

<p>I have been hearing that memory suppliers are _intentionally_ not scaling up new factories like crazy because they assume the demand won't be there on the long term and they don't want to have spare unused capacity. Probably because Samsung and SK have a near duopoly on it as well...<p>At some point the market will be saturated with supply and prices will come down for older gen hardware. It can take years though, but it happened to fiber cable and fiber doesn't even depreciate like chips.</p>

<p>Am I the weird one? I usually have 3/4 terminals open at a time and rarely open new ones. Terminal startup speed is a non-issue for me.<p>The only thing I demand to be fast on my terminal is grep reverse search (ctrl+r) and of course typing a character. But if your terminal can't keep up with your typing speed there is something deeply wrong with it.</p>

<p>Snus (tobacco pouches you put under your gums) is super popular in Sweden:<p><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus" rel="nofollow">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snus</a><p>It is basically the same thing but not synthetic. Supposedly nicotin pouches are not as harmful because they do not have tobacco leaves.<p>I am a bit ambivalent about it, on one hand people don't smoke as much because snus which means I don't get as much second hand smoke.<p>On the other hand it is WAY easier for kids to get started on it as they don't need to hide it after they put it in their mouths. I know a few people who are heavily addicted to it (one even keeps one in when he is sleeping) and they all started in their early teens.</p>

<p>Most places have a very different mix of electricity sources, things like hydro and imports from places further to the east (where the sun is still shinning) or wind from west-ward. Nuclear provides the same base power all around the day, etc.<p>The need for peaker plants to offset the need for batteries is greatly exaggerated. The batteries are mostly required for grid frequency stabilization due to renewal intermittence (clouds passing through, wind slowing down), not so much for overnight storage in most locations.<p>Of course this varies drastically from place to place, Hawaii for example can't really import energy production from other places.</p>

<p>Limitless energy would likely bring more ecological gains in other areas. For example vertical indoor farming with artificial lights. If energy was free it is vertical farming would be massively cheaper than it is today.<p>Vertical indoor farming is far more sustainable than outdoors farming.<p>It would also push electrifying other types of transportation that is harder to electrify like airplanes and ships. For example, if energy is free flights in smaller electric planes with more connections would be far cheaper than getting direct flights in jets.<p>Free energy also means cheaper recycling, currently aluminium scrap gets shipped around the world to places that have cheap energy (like iceland with geothermal power) for recycling. With free energy you would be able to do it locally.</p>

<p>Although the stuff you mention is true, it is not the only reason. NTFS is just notoriously bad at reading/writing tons of small files.<p>It also has a lot of problems with locking files that are open by a process, if you have a rogue process reading your node_modules npm install or rm node_modules can hang until that process finishes.<p>yarn2 keeps dependencies as tarballs instead of extracting them to disk,  imported files get loaded from the tarball at runtime. Makes a massive difference in windows.</p>
