passive studying is so boring if some urgency does not exists

Day 15 of C Systems Programming learned about what is parallelism, concurrency and there role in new school model x.com/kmapbit/status…

Day 14 of C Systems programming Old model explains architecture of computers like a webapp. Software - the os,kernels is the frontend,the hardware- the circuits is the backend,and the ISA is like the bridge - an API x.com/i/status/20372…

@unicatte2 Its about who faces the discomfort. If companies arent ready to feel the pain of optimization and the time it takes,the discomfort shifts on to users who are left with buying better hardware if better solutions to that software do not exists.

I'd dare say 1 or 2 GB would have been enough for basic web browsing and office work if companies gave two shits about optimization.

@i2cjak I only read the you and your research portion

you absolutely MUST read this book or you’re PERMANENT UNDERCLASS CATTLE

@GenAI_is_real When a software written in early 2010s chokes even the most modern PCs or Laptops, the state of software becomes quite clear.

unpopular opinion: 16GB is plenty if software engineers actually cared about memory efficiency. chrome eating 4GB for 12 tabs is not a hardware problem its a software disgrace. docker consuming 2GB idle is not a feature its laziness. we live in an era where people optimize every single token to save $0.001 on API costs but happily ship electron apps that eat 500MB to display a todo list. if the industry treated RAM the way we treat inference compute - obsessively measuring every byte - 16GB would feel luxurious. the hardware isnt the problem, the software is @adxtyahq

@arpit_bhayani This has always been the norm btw. AI has just accelerated it. "Move fast,perfection is for losers" or "Make it work,you can make it good later". Except "make it good later" part hardly ever comes because people move on to the next flashy thing as long as things are "working".

With agentic slop, we are trading software reliability for shipping velocity and calling it progress. It isn't. Systems are more fragile than ever, and engineers building them no longer trust their code to hold up in real-world edge cases. I am pro-AI, but this will backfire - big time.

Day 13 of C systems programming Started with machine structures lecture 1 x.com/kmapbit/status…

@dk_fakegod There was this article which mentioned woman in north africa pursue STEM degrees much more than european who opted for arts, lit etc. bc of upward mobility factor.Not glorifying poverty but people in poorer countries are far more ambitious than richer ones. Keep arts for leisure.

Y'all keep saying this but have no evidence to support it. India is a poor country. We need more STEM education, not less.

Day 12 of Systems Programming with C(yeah thats the new title) Revised my old notes and expanded more on all warnings, extra warnings, pedantic flags when compiling for important checks and making sure our code follows C standard x.com/kmapbit/status…

I have gotten interested in OS and Comp Arch concepts recently. I am planning to mix up a few topics with the C book I am already following.

@scheminglunatic I open twitter I read an azz tweet i keep scrolling

Genocide everyone who did not train a neural network in high school

@ludwigABAP @startupideaspod Men are pardoned. Grifters get brutalized.

"The timelines are extended gutters and the gutters are full of shit and when the drains finally scab over, all the vermin will drown. The accumulated filth of all their grift and retardation will foam up about their waists and all the lizards and entreprenoors will look up and shout 'SAVE US!'"

"OpenClaw is the new computer." — Jensen Huang This is the early PC era all over again. A few power users see it. Everyone else hasn't even started. "It's the most popular open source project in the history of humanity, and it did so in just a few weeks. It exceeded what Linux did in 30 years." A solo founder with OpenClaw can now build what used to take a 50-person team. The leverage is absurd.

I have realized because of the ai,one of the many skills we are gonna lose is tinkering. You learned a new concept,you applied it and now you are experimenting. Vibe coding robs you of that experimentation part. One of the many reasons why i switched to modal editors.

Have been using Minimax,Kimi models for past 2 weeks and I used to think there are no worthy competitors to Claude.

@ludwigABAP any work done for purely monetary reasons is soulless

coding was originally a job for women and i think it's great that many people (tourists) who came into this industry to make money when coding was already banalized enough, are now bothered by the fact that they have been rendered near-useless by gross matmuls - it shows a complete lack of understanding of what the actual profession was suppoesd to be about anyway (where 99% of the time, writing the code is the most trivial part) personally i never identified with Koders anyway so it isn't very bothering to have beat up agents in producing the least terrible code possible for 90% of things as 90% of things literally dont even matter at all, maybe the only downside is that i have to read so much more code and be even more paranoid

@chipsandpol Higher the inclination of a person towards hard science/tech, lesser will be the mental capacity to invest in other things, more unsympathetic they would be. He would spend entire convo telling that prof to be nicer instead of countering his points.

I think a 10 minute conversation with an EE professor at a R1 university will absolutely destroy an average journalist’s mind.

Multiple times I have lost faith or interest in programming. But i get back to it eventually.

@___4o____ i should change my glasses cause i legit read it as garrys lust.

I thought Claude had better design aesthetics than this? What in the fuck models did he use to build this abomination? It’s like he was trying for an og internet vibe but got temu substack.

@Aryvyo move all your electron wrappers to browser so that after a certain point only thing choking your pc is chrome.

I KNEW I WASNT SCHIZO EVERY SINGLE ENGINEER AT DISCORD NEEDS TO BE PERMANENTLY BARRED FROM PROGRAMMING EVER AGAIN
