Yeah, people really took it to the extreme and made a cult out of it for no reason. Mass delusion at its finest.

Finding specimens is not that hard or inaccessible if you are determined. Virtually any place on earth has its own geomorphology history. Start by looking at geological maps to learn what kind of rocks/minerals you can find in your surroundings and look for old/active mines, quarries or any activity that excavates soil, etc. Specimens can be found sometimes in land deposits from these activites.

Interesting perspective. While the analogy may be somewhat intuitive, distributed computing exhibit a wider and more diverse set of challenges imo.

Example: Synchronization in naturally async environments, consensus, failure-safe system, etc.

Frontier models being in the hands of a handful companies does not help either. Let's hope that the open weight movement changes that soon.

I disagree with you. Today's scenario is certainly much more interesting than the post dot-com boom years, maybe not as interesting as the very early days of computing, but certainly ripe for innovation, and a test-bed for innumerable breakthroughs that are yet to come. We are currently living the post "Big data" age and advancing fast toward the pre quantum computing era, with a renaissance of AI and machine learning technologies. Cryptography is ripe for disruption and the past years have seen the introduction and deployment of novel concepts and semi-old ideas that have finally found application with cryptocurrencies and distributed systems. There are several projects at the forefront of technology with defined goals in mind, and definitely solving real world problems, like privacy in cloud computing, for example. Software stacks have matured intro fully fledged products and there is plenty of choice for every use case, one just need to delve into the enormous amount of information available and do his homework. Operating systems have also advanced a lot and I love, for one, how easy is to operate Ubuntu nowadays, and the level of freedom it offers to users. Maybe you need to think a bit outside the box? respectfully, have a great one!
