<p>Part of Elon Musks strategy seems to sell some kind of hype that does not materialise or at least won't for long (Mars, autonomous Cars) The vast amounts of money collected are then used to develop products that are still a significant progress in its market. Now AI is where all the hype is. It's difficult to sell some hype without AI currently.</p>

<p>The Chinese Government isn't like Russia where power is mostly legitimised by having power, like the law of the jungle. A big part of its legitimacy is from economic growth and lifting people out of poverty.</p>

<p>With fixed you do pinning on GC memory, which can have a negative performance effect. You can also do unchecked pointer arithmetics on references with the Unsafe class, which avoids that. A lot of the methods of Span use that internally.</p>

<p>I let Claude translate a horribly written vb program writing some xml data into a pdf form. Most of the code I didn't even read until much later, I just checked the end result. The code won't be touched again, and if it will simply be replaced. Some code is foundational and you should put a lot of effort into it, a lot of code isn't though.<p>Other than that agentic coding has not really been working that well for me at our main codebase though.</p>

<p>The societal advantage of raising prices with demand is that it will lead to more supply generally, but in some cases supply is just simply limited and cannot be expanded enough sensibly. This leads just to people earning money without any additional economic benefit and often the poor suffering because of it (like with oil currently).<p>Of course DRAM manufacturers are taking advantage of the current situation, they're companies and making money is what companies are for. The problem is that DRAM manufacturing works in boom-bust cycles, building a new factory is capital intensive and slow, so additional supply will come too few and too late to press prices down to a sensible rate above manufacturing costs.</p>
