This is a great read. Big migration of 800k lines of rust. Almost reads like science fiction with "agent swarms". With enough GPU reality doesn't have to be plausible đź«

I can’t stress enough how little an idea matters compared to the agency of the people executing the idea.
I have had the privilege of knowing and sometimes even working with some of the most successful people (by various metrics).
The difference between mediocre and excellent work and outcomes is predominantly one of agency.
In practice this means: they dont wait for things to happen to them they go out and make things happen for them.
They don’t wait for someone else to do something, for someone to teach them, for someone to give them the path, etc. They just go out and find a way to do it.
I think the single biggest superpower these people have is the realization/belief that the world around them is completely mutable. Most everything that happens is because a person made it happen.
I used to tell people to look around the room you’re sitting in. Look at everything. Every noun. It almost all exists because a person willed it into existence. Nothing is stopping you from doing the same.
I see people online all the time dismissing someone else’s success because “I had that idea first” or whatever. I mean… yeah? If so then the difference is… you. So a bit of a self own whenever I hear that.
Number one tip: act with agency.

BLAKE3 now goes more than twice as fast on Apple Silicon. Maybe your code can, too.
I thought our banking sector is made to pay ever growing dividends to share holders year after year.
With housing the bank get protected with CHMC insurance, full recourse mortgages and can package them into CMBs and sell to BoC.
The banks are making double digit growth, so it seems to be working pretty well for them as it is, from my perspective at least.
At least the house prices have went way up, generating massive amounts of value for the share holders of big banks and related industries.
Google has a well defined hiring process. The interviewers write their recommendations and a committee decides on them.
A Google hiring vs Ivy admission contrast would be very interesting. Discovery with Google would be a non-event, they are very sophisticated with data.
Its more StarCraft style flow state then Chess style flow state, but I still have afternoons vanish when I am locked in with agents.
If productivity increases, but the prices fall to account for that, then no GDP growth.
2 productivity units at half off is the same as 1 productivity unit at the previous price from a GDP perspective.
I think it makes you a better programmer, but its not necessary either. More like an optional supplement.
I think of the arrow as bouncing, and the tail making a "U" shape so the outside of the strip becomes the inside.
To make it switch for me, I think of the arrow as bouncing off 3 or 9 oclock and the tail twists as its following the head coming back towards the camera.
Depends if you think you are looking at the top or bottom of the circle.
The depth is ambiguous so what color is "close" is arbitrary.
