You could literally just do a PhD in Stochastic Mortgage Elasticity at UNSW, get a desk at a Barangaroo private credit shop financing NDIS-adjacent property syndicates, buy RM Williams after your first bonus, dm the girl whose dad “did a bit of development in the 90s,” first dates at Totti’s, Easter in Byron, get the family-office intro over a Bunnings sausage sizzle, - but you will not.

You could literally just read economics at the LSE, sit Part III at Cambridge and stay on for the PhD in stochastic filtering, get a seat at a Berkeley Square macro pod that runs a bigger gilt book than half the primary dealers, buy the four-bed lateral at Clarges overlooking Green Park, dm the girl whose brother was your mate from the LSE Investment Society and whose father was Chief Treasurer at Yukos, first dates at 5 Hertford Street, shooting weekends at the Highland estate the family bought in ’06, get the LP intro over Sunday roast, but you will not.

26 is the ultimate coming-of-age age. the age of breakups (or engagements). the reality of your late 20s hits you like a bus. you try a new routine. new hobby. new city even. chasing the missed early 20s. at 26, you reinvent your life. my favorite thing to watch.

Worst Contrarian - BACK OFFICE @ LARP CAPITAL
Buffett had 10k in 1950 when he was 20, according to the inflation calculator it that comes to roughly 140k in today’s money In 1950 you could buy a house with 10k, what can you buy with 140k today? Half an apartment? It is insane people actually believe the inflation numbers

Unfortunately, I don't use Zig now. Every 1.5-5x human DX productivity boost from Zig features is eclipsed by the 100x boost from coding agents writing Rust: Allocator interface: This is my favorite Zig feature, you feel so galaxy brain using a specialized allocator to optimize a code path (e.g. arena, stack fallback etc). The problem in Rust used to be that there was no Allocator interface equivalent and if you wanted a Vec that used a custom allocator you literally had to copy+paste the std version and modify it to use it (this is what Bumpalo did, look at the source). For a long while now there has been an Allocator trait in nightly, and it seems to be good now. Because it is a trait it is static dispatch, vs Zig's which is based on a vtable. Unlike Zig there isn't a community-wide convention of designing data structures to be parametric based on the allocator, but AI changes the game and makes it trivially to copy paste code and change that. I find it works well enough for my use-case. Arbitrary bit width integers + packed structs: Another beloved Zig feature of mine. It makes it so easy to do DOD-style CPU cache optimizations and stuff like tagged pointers, NaN boxing, etc. and even made bitflags really easy to make. You could always do this in Rust or any systems programming language but it was really ugly/unergonomic. The least worst option was using some crate like bitfield/bitflags which both rely on proc macro magic to work. Now, with coding agents I literally do not care how annoying it is to write the code by hand. Comptime: This is Zig's flashiest feature, no other programming language except maybe for obscure dependent-types langs have compile time evaluation as nice as Zig's. I thought I would miss it a lot, but I actually don't. For me, 95% of comptime usage is to create Zig's version of generic data structures with parametric types. Rust has a better designed type system IMO (see next section). In the remaining 5% of cases, not having comptime sucks. The only reliable way to reach an equivalent is through codegen. I'm making a game right now, and I have hardcoded hitbox geometry data generated from a tool that I want to bake into a data structure. Without comptime, I have to get Claude to write a script that generates the Rust file. However, I don't find myself needing compile time evaluation that much anyway. Rust's type system: I think I'd rather trade having comptime for Rust's better-designed type system, especially for bounded polymorphism (traits/typeclasses). Trying to do the equivalent in Zig is a nightmare. Also, I think that Rust's type system allows you to enforce more variants and prevent coding agents from making common mistakes. In my game I use the euclid crate which essentially allows you to not mix up coordinate spaces (very common problem in graphics programming) by creating specialized types for each coordinate space (e.g. Point or Point) Not having to deal with memory issues: With coding agents allowing 100x more code to be written, this also means you need to scrutinize 100x more Zig code for memory issues. Without formal verification, the surface area of the search space to enumerate to find bugs is just so much larger now. With the magnitude of code being generated now, Rust is even more attractive. Rust's tradeoff was always that it hinders developer productivity especially if you are unfamiliar with borrow checker, but this simply does not matter with coding agents anymore. And if you do use unsafe in Rust there's tools like miri which you can have the coding agent run the code against to make sure it doesn't cause UB or isn't violating Rust's aliasing rules when it comes to unsafe. I still miss writing Zig and find it to be a great language but I like Rust more and coding agents work with better with it.

It's not a question anymore, most of Zig's best features were designed for human ergonomics, which matters less now All of Rust's best features came at the cost of added verbosity, which applies less to agents because they have superhuman working memory and never get tired

In 2020 it was obvious that if you didn’t relocate your income from the physical world to the digital world you would be a peasant in 5 years Now you gotta be foundermaxxing If you don’t have your own company in 5 years you’re probably a peasant

TIL why the Blackwell box is out of stock in Singapore. It's too powerful! Get yours before the regime clamps down further.

@ASvanevik Yea, export controls is the issue. We obviously aren't gonna submit some stupid license paperwork, this is the stupidest move by the US government, but since they have the guns we respect it. I'll see if we can update it so it doesn't just say out of stock.

The coreutils Rust rewrite story is pretty funny. Coreutils are tools like rm, mv, mkdir, etc. Unlike binutils, this isn't a fertile ground for memory safety bugs. But, the rewrite was completed, and in the spirit of progress, Canonical decided to switch. 🡇

Can AI write EVM bytecode + a Lean proof of solvency under arbitrary reentrancy, bypassing the compiler entirely? Yes! In this experiment we create 86 bytes of WETH bytecode plus a sorry-free Lean solvency theorem 👇 (thread + link below)

Do you think the new owners know they became exit liquidity? Honest question… Who here is actually buying this for $2.5m? This is South East Queensland right now. And yeah, I’ve heard it…“it’s going to boom because of the Olympics” The funny part is…I heard that exact same thing 3 years ago. Are you early to the story…or are you the exit liquidity for someone who already played it?
