  Tokens are the new computing paradigm on which everything will be remade as computing enters a post-binary era.

  Their words

  Tokens are the new computing paradigm. Everything will be re-made on top of it. We’ve had deterministic computers for 80 years, so we confuse “how computers have worked” with “how computers must work.” We’re entering the post-binary era.

  Multi-Paradigm Design for C++

  Their words

  Multi-Paradigm Design for C++ by James O. Coplien. Twenty years after reading this, the core techniques are still with me. These are commonality analysis, where the purpose is to identify families of systems, and variability analysis, which focuses on capturing the domain parameters that vary. In essence: the foundation of great software design.

  Russia and China are ringed by the most dysfunctional places on the planet because their own security paradigm manufactures failing states.

  Their words

  One, you're surrounding yourself by failing states. You can look at Russia and China and they're surrounded by some of the most dysfunctional places on the planet and you go, "Gee whiz, are they unlucky or they complicit?"

  China and Russia have maritime ambitions without understanding what a maritime paradigm actually requires, and neither one has the prerequisites.

  So, China and Russia certainly have maritime ambitions, but I'm not clear they actually understand what goes into a full maritime paradigm.

  Underneath anger is sadness over all your cumulative experiences in life of not being responded to, past and present. The sadness around powerlessness. Unresolved grief.

  Being an excellent programmer is a burden rather than an advantage when learning to work with coding agents.

  coding agents

  Their words

  It’s actually how good they are at programming is almost a burden in their ability to empathize with the system that’s starting from scratch. It’s a totally new paradigm of, like, how to program. You really, really have to empathize.

  How verifiable a task is now predicts how automatable it is, the way specifiability predicted it in the 1980s.

  The best historical analogy for AI is not electricity or the industrial revolution but a new computing paradigm, because both are fundamentally about automating digital information processing.

  AI has been compared to various historical precedents: electricity, industrial revolution, etc., I think the strongest analogy is that of AI as a new computing paradigm (Software 2.0) because both are fundamentally about the automation of digital information processing.

  He works as a fox, not a hedgehog: moving between fields, chasing analogies, and re-proving results he likes with the tools he favours.

  Their words

  I'm much more comfortable with the fox paradigm. Yeah. So yeah, I like looking for analogies, narratives. I spend a lot of time… If there's a result, I see it in one field, and I like the result, it's a cool result, but I don't like the proof, it uses types of mathematics that I'm not super familiar with, I often try to re-prove it myself using the tools that I favor.

  Milton Friedman won debates on cheerfulness and confidence rather than on argument, and Ayn Rand lost them because disagreement made her angry.

  Their words

  Milton Friedman, he also does tend to have friends who agree with him, yet he's always willing to debate his opponents, and he's willing to do so with a smile on his face. He's a happy warrior, and he actually will win a lot of debates simply by his emotional affect and his cheerfulness and his confidence, where Rand will lose debates because she gets so angry in the face of disagreement.
