<p>That's the thing, a programming language is not something static, it evolves.
For instance, people are working on adding generic methods for the next release cycles.<p>And what the article complains about is by design, not a bug. It is a tradeoff made to avoid bloat.
In any case, given the future possibilities, I'd bet on Go.<p>If anything, the language is just slower to evolve because every language change means the tooling needs to catch up. And now llms would have to catch up.
ChatGPT is still using Go 1.23 for instance...</p>

<p>We are speaking about incidental complexity vs. essential/inherent complexity.
Inherent complexity is dealing with an XML format that is prone to vulnerabilities because people don't know how to parse properly or the protocol was badly spec'd back in the day in the case SAML for instance.
Or ill-defined scopes, etc...<p>Having had the chance to try and implement libraries to interface with those systems a couple times, most people agree that implementations are far from perfect or streamlined. We call this incidental/accidental complexity.</p>

<p>My point is that people mess up things as basic as salt and pepper, or encryption at rest. People are not even trying...<p>If we deal with the intricacies of rbac, abac, acl mixed with scopes ,sso, saml, oidc, mfa, etc... I don't find these too conceptually, complex.<p>I mean, it should be avoidable complexity. Most of the complexity is technical debt, bad implementations etc. But by itself it is not THAT complex.</p>

<p>I wonder if it is not people being notoriously lazy or clueless at an astonishing degree. How often do you hear that password were saved in plaintext? Surprisingly high in this day and age.<p>People not knowing what salt and pepper is... Vulnerabilities almost as if on purpose...<p>Perhaps it is actually not THAT hard but just like error handling, people don't want to do the unsexy parts and want to delegate those tasks to someone else perhaps. 
There must be a behavioral pattern there...</p>

<p>There is a moral hazard here. By accepting that APIs are forever, you  tend to be more cautious and move toward getting it right the first time.
Slower is better... And also faster in the long run, as things compose.
Personally, I do believe that there is one best way to do things quite often, but time constraints make people settle.<p>At least it is my experience building some systems.<p>Not sure it is always a good calculus to defer the hard thinking to later.</p>

<p>You will probably have time related free credits for AI usage.
The more you sell stuff that are in demand and ship fast, the higher price you can command.
Otherwise you just get basic income.
People will have to be creative. Creativity doesn't scale to machines. Creative decision making has too many branches.<p>So time based costs for product manufacturing and procurement.<p>Everyone will barter again in a sense.<p>Better money circulation. Those who just want entertainment can also do nothing. But entertainment will be a more important field. Already the case with tiktok, everyone is becoming an interntainer(sic) these days.<p>You have things such as the police olympics so to speak in the UAE...
:)<p>So coaching people, personal improvement, wellness, will be good fields to be in.</p>

<p>There will be more of it where it does not matter.
Maybe eventually with times.
At the moment, in my experience, most systems rely on hyperlinear semantics. Especially scalable ones.
Current llms cannot physically handle this at the moment. Maybe with biological or quantum (sic) computing.<p>But even then it is quite impressive.<p>Concretely in my use case, off of a manual base of code, having claude has the planner and code writer and  GPT as the reviewer works very well.
GPT is somehow better at minutiae and thinking in depth. But claude is a bit smarter and somehow has better coding style.<p>Before 4.5, GPT was just miles ahead.</p>

<p>Maybe it is a notation issue.<p>What is a negative number? What is multiplication? What is a complex "number"?
Complex are not even orderable. Is complex addition an overloading of the addition operator. Same with multiplication?<p>What i squared is -1 ? What does -1 even mean? Is the sign, a kind of operator?<p>The geometric interpretation help. These are transformations. Instead of 1 + i, we could/should write (1,i)<p>The AI might be clearer: <a href="https://gemini.google.com/share/6e00fab74749" rel="nofollow">https://gemini.google.com/share/6e00fab74749</a><p>A lot of math is not very clear because it is not very well taught. The notations are unclear.
For instance,  another example is: what is the difference between a matrix and a tensor? But that is another debate for anyone who wants to think about it. The definition found in books is often kind of wrong making a distinction that shouldn't really exist more often than not.</p>

<p>What was new was not tensors. It was the representation in SU of mesons for photon-photon collisions. But even saying that is skimming the surface.
I can't read beyond the knowledge gap.</p>

<p>Isn't it the mathematics that is lagging? Amplituhedron? Higher dimensional models?<p>Fun fact: I got to read the thesis of one my uncles who was a young professor back in the 90's. Right when they were discovering bosons. They were already modelling  them as tensors back then.
And probably multilinear transformations.<p>Now that I am grown I can understand a little more, I was about 10 years old back then. I had no idea he was studying and teaching the state of the art. xD</p>

<p>Do these administrations still  purchase licenses for software or do they  just create open source maintained by government employees?
How much are they willing to pay?
Because people in Europe are notoriously paid less so I am curious of the financial aspect.
Also curious about the logistics of ownership and support...</p>
