If AI can make any language do anything, why move away from React Native ? What you could do with Kotlin/Swift you can do with React Native as well. This just feels like internal factions wanting their own teams, and owning their respe

I think this is how Asgard worked. The tech got so advanced people kind of used the advanced tech, but looked pretty much like a how medieval society would. Even their politics.

If you treat politics as a religion then you argue merits. Most common people care for abundance and affluence. Any system that helps them arrive there is ok.

I learned some Forth and played around right before the LLM trend began. It was a mind bending experience, although I quit after a while as the programs were kind of glass sheet quality brittle as they grew. Sometimes I feel I need to start

0.0001 km, or 10 cm would take 0.00003385 suns, or 6.72857 × 10²⁵ kg Obviously that's not possible by today's physics. But lets say it was possible, by placing it some where space, how would one make it ?

Well I thought this is a real black hole. Forgive my ignorance. But what would it take to put a fist sized black hole in your room.

The question is what work do you do, that burns so many tokens. Are in you sending it to work in nested for loops? If yes, what sort of work would that be?

Talking to toxic people. Its so exhausting walking on eggshells, and engineering discussions to avoid conflicts.

There is more than that, though. Deadlines, Next Tasks, Weekly list purge/build, Yearly alignment etc etc. Also how you teach somebody a thing matters. Stories have a profound effect on humans since the earliest of our days.

Agency is just to keep moving, like stop at nothing and keep moving, no matter what. Movement generates information, that can be used to make further decisions, even if you actually don't hit your goal at bulls eye accuracy you do end
