> False, it creates consumer demand for inference chips, which will be badly utilised.

There are so many CPUs, GPUs, RAM and SSDs which are underutilized. I have some in my closet doing 5% load at peek times. Why would inference chips be special once they become commodity hardware?

Worst part about liquid glass changes is that it was probably rushed so they could cover for lack of AI features that they promised a year ago

I think zig is striving for language minimalism, make it minimal as possible then if a feature optimized multiple places use cases benefit

Only contrast I see is that he thought it was much more of a corner case which turned out to be not that true anymore since everyone started using claude code.

Can't they do it here? or will the authorities go after these kind of upgrades?

on one hand they are loosing profit, on the other hand they are gaining on market share. They will probably wait a short while to assess how much they are willing to sacrifice profits for market share

Just like the GPUs.

NVIDIA started allocating most of the wafer capacity for 50k GPU chips. They are a business, its a logical choice.

> This is a weird article. It’s titled “how to use vsock” but 95% is how to set up Bazel, gRPC, and building a C++ project.

This is just what happens when you use bazel to quickly set up your project.
