Not at all. My argument is not that tit for tat is good, but that if we are to be serious about condemning violence, we must be willing to criticize all those who are violent, even if we may align with them politically in some fashion.

Instead there is a distinct slant on this conflict in both reporting & commenting.

When one side is violent, we are told that this is honorable resistance and that we must expand our view of the conflict further back in history, (but not too far back), to understand their actions as a response to the other side's actions (aka tit for tat, but it's good when we do it)

When the other is violent, we are told to focus solely on recent history, and to understand that there is simply no reason whatsoever for the violence except pure bloodlust.

To be fair - he destroyed all Microsoft except Azure

I wonder about that, and decided that Azure is infrastructure first, and software second. MS is destroying/has destroyed their ability to write software, but are still maintaining infrastructure.

But I wonder how many people will be using Azure once the market moves away from windows software. I don't think they have any edge other than windows tie-ins (e.g. Azure ID)

It's hard to destroy a flaming pile of trash.

You said it!

If you have to post this, you are the reason for fear factor:

Some of you might ask if this is the beginning of a new rhythm – where we announce broad reductions every few months. That’s not our plan.

What do you mean? Who is "we" and "our"?

I think its what was sent out

Likely so - when executions expand to 30% of the population, they are no longer fun

No one appreciates the hard work when lives are saved. Let some people die and you can rile your base

India's capital is like a wasteland and this is for ex-middle class (which is now upper class, no middle class exists, its a chasm between upper and lower)

If Hype wasn't the pill then in no dimension would Typescript be as popular as Java

> only AI language runtimes will need fine grained control how everything works

Rust can win against CPP if AI can understand its docs better than CPP's :D

Why when the end goal is to get machine code directly, or agents that act on their own?

Generating current programming languages is only a transition step, just like Assembly programmers were suspicious of the first optimizing compilers and expected multiple steps, having the compilers generating Assembly they could inspect, and only then run the Assembler on that.

We need to take the Alan Kay point of view, not what AI tools can do today, rather what they might look a few decades down the line.

Agreeing to that from Burnaby - until I too get priced out
