I have also run this fun thought experiment! More of the world than many might imagine could run on outdated hardware if software optimization was truly a priority, and market price signals on scarce compute would make it happen. Rebuild all the interpreted microservice based products into monolithic native codebases! Innovative new products would get much rarer without super cheap and scalable compute, of course. https://x.com/ID_AA_Carmack/status/1922100771392520710

John Carmack explains how he applies Nassim Nicholas Taleb's "anti-fragile" concept to his work, enjoying the thrill of new ideas while accepting that many won't succeed. Source: Deep Thoughts Engineering Speaker Series: John Carmack - https://x.com/tetsuoai/status/1980416980969746843
