<p>Can we get a powerful arm CPU yet that is geared purely toward performance and just slap an AIO or water cooler on it ? Don't understand why this doesn't exist</p>

<p>Honestly I'm not sure this is true. We may be at a point where coding is simultaneously going to stabilise and standardise more.<p>Maybe it's time we have a new or more universal coding language we teach in schools that is strong on concepts and standardisation. Something that enforces the math, logic and mechanisms that underpin modern software. It could be designed so that any common liguisric language could apply (as in English, Japanese, French, whatever) for the broadest appeal.<p>LLM could then translate architecture and concepts into the specific actual coding language of choice for the best fit. Of course you could also read that code and write it yourself.<p>The whole process could be redesigned with this concept being sort of like a "super compiler". Or hell - if you really wanted to there could be dedicated ASICs with the supercompiler LLM burned in (like Talaas) that could do this on the fly or very quickly for different applications.</p>

<p>I think the issue is that there is a not yet emerged standard for the mid size companies that we hear less about here on HN but make up a huge amount of business in the US. Kubernetes may be the gold standard for larger companies or tech heavy companies of all sizes. But what about the mid size organisations ?</p>

<p>There are also novel situations for which precedent is set and becomes defacto law. Personally I think this is a big issue with how the US works.</p>

<p>So since we're all talking about him I just noticed something odd on his old website. If you go to the full archive of his posts (which seems to be sorted by date) and scroll all the way down to the oldest post there is one at the very bottom that is a bit odd with grammar and was posted in April 2012 - specifically not organised by date like the rest.<p>Link to the full archive:<p><a href="http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/fullarchive" rel="nofollow">http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/fullarchive</a><p>Link to the out of order post:<p><a href="http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/parpolity" rel="nofollow">http://www.aaronsw.com/weblog/parpolity</a></p>

<p>I used to feel that way until I realised some people I worked with were just actually quite terrible at Googling things. After that I realised that using a search engine is actually a skill I was taking for granted and one I was quite good at.<p>I did actually spend a few minutes searching for them and found multiple documents and forum posts - sent those over and they were super happy. A project that had been stalled for seemingly forever suddenly was done quickly.<p>Now that I pay for Kagi search I find myself doing this even more (especially since Google itself often doesn't return great results anymore) and I can quickly find good info way faster than most</p>

<p>From what I remember European tired were often outperforming American tires in stopping performance and other metrics. So not sure that's true.</p>
