Comment Re:Leading to simple programming languages (Score 2) 19
We need to ask "How can we design programming languages, system APIs, application structure, data structures and database schemas so that it is a lot less likely to make a mistake in logic, modularity, data flow or data design?"
"How can we design a (programming) language in which it's impossible for people to think bad thoughts" has been a wished-for silver bullet since at least the 1960s. This is why the industry uses SAST(ools), dynamic analysis, AI analysis, etc on whatever they've currently got, because after sixty years of not being able to produce this silver bullet people have accepted that you need to try something else.

what we need is for someone to focus on making them affordable
DeepSeek is doing exactly that.
DeepSeek is 30 times cheaper than OpenAI and delivers better results.
The reasons DeepSeek is cheaper are its use of less energy and the smart use of prompt caching.

If you want to understand international politics right now, it's the US led world in favor of Pax Americana
That may have been the case until about 20-30 years ago, but now it's most of the world wanting rules-based order up against an increasingly isolationist US led, if you can call it that, by a rapidly dementing authoritarian. The position "leader of the free world" has been vacant for at least 20 years.

That was my reaction as well, this isn't the farmers saying "we've finally got repair access to our machinery", this is John Deere saying "we've got our flesh-eating zombie layers working day and night to misuse these conditions and make sure those damn hayseeds never get anything useful from us".
