I skim though it and saw they had something javascript asm.js in kernel.

The presentation is a work of speculative fiction presented in a deadpan manner. The things demonstrated in the presentation (Unix shell with C compiler targeting asm.js running inside a web browser) did not actually exist at the time.

> Canadian tech is nonexistent because every Canadian pension fund, family office, and bank prefers to invest in American equities over Canadian equities.

I was told that we should never invest pension fund on local, because you salary is basically based on local industry. One need diversified investment.

Not sure how true this is, but that's what I have been listening for years.

This is extra work on human.

Many artist and content creator is now asked to show the "behind the scene" or a full session recording, which nobody care enough to check. This is frustrating and demotivating the artist.

Expect the same demotivating effect on the software contributor.

If you think reading _forwarded_ AI response are cheap, you can run your own LLM. It is the same amount work on you

Fable promised better at long running tasks.

Parent post have a goal of "..see how it will perform.."

There is nothing wrong with experimenting with something new.

That recording capture code, but not intent and thought.

The only alternative to PR review is pair programming - where you can discuss with your peer in real time, discuss the design, asking questions or clarifications.

Without real time communication, those small delta are pure noise.

Its not only the corporate america. Those crypto scammers do the same simply rallies and tries again later until people are too fatigued to care.

but.. OpenAI and Anthropic can't stop China and EU, can they?

Depends on your world view, they might or might not come up with something better. but I guess we can agree nothing with stop them from _trying_?

US successfully enforce DMCA and other copyright stuff on EU while giving free pass to own bigtech now.

China will certainly compete though.

The EU is slowly getting out of the rectum of the united states. Let's see if that trend continues.

Those are ABI. Unless it is inlining them, the overhead is to stay.

ABI changes do happen. gcc had an ABI change in std::string because of C++11. It was long and painful, but everyone survived, the world did not end

> ABI changes do happen

Will never happen on Windows, especially not in user-mode libraries, and especially not something this pervasive.

I'm pretty sure GCC has been ABI stable far longer that MSVC which used to break ABI every release.

GCC was forced to break the std::string ABI by the C++11 standard and they have been lobbing ever since against ABI breaks.

GCC/libstdc++ just changed the ABI for std::variant: https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-16/changes.html#libstdcxx

You haven't used Windows in a while I imagine.

MSVC has stabilised the ABI since VS 2015, we are on VS 2026 now.

Due to customer pressure to stop doing exactly that, to the point some ISO C and C++ stuff that requires breaking the ABI has not been implemented thus far.

I am quite certain that I will find ABI breaks in GCC release notes since Slackware 2.0, when I used it for the first time.

Yes but it contradicts the article
