Aha, thanks!

Please don’t post AI slop to HN. It’s against the guidelines.

Apart from the Transformer architecture that enabled the AI boom/singularity/civilization-reshaping-event/whatever-this-is? Not much, I guess...

I must have missed the 8GHz CPU era.

Right. It captures the destabilizing effect of stochastic terrorism, without the terroristic intent. It’s a neat phrase.

The earliest I've used was Protracker, which was the most popular tracker in the early heyday of the format (late 80s - early 90s), but the earlier Soundtracker was the OG "tracker…

This, but (or "and") use the 4-row layout that dozens of tracker programs used[0], to fit over 2 octaves on the computer keyboard. On a US keyboard: QWERTYUIOP[] is the white keys …

It’s a Zen proverb.

I assume it's Supreme Leader.

Another vote for the 68000 series :)

Thanks, I like your framing in terms of the impact on "trust". > Generating more complex solutions that are possibly not understood by the engineer submitting the changes. I'd poss…

Feeling this too. And AI is making it "worse". Reviewing human code and writing thoughtful, justified, constructive feedback to help the author grow is one thing - too much of this…

That’s fair, I didn’t think about climates actively hostile to “gentle” exercise :)
