I will say this - LLMs are not replacing humans any time soon. I have experience in my domaim and know what to elicit from an LLM. I'm saving myself the hassle of typing 100K LoC every year. But if companies stop hiring young people, there will be a void in the pipeline and it will create havoc. "AI will replace SDEs" is a marketing gimmick. AI will make people more productive and result in more people writing more software. This non-hiring of juniors will be fixed soon enough.

I just released the next major version of simdjson, the fast C++ JSON parser library. Our last major release was a year ago.
What is new? Quite a bit.
C++26 static reflection is officially supported. We have key selectors based on compile-time perfect hashing for faster and nicer deserialization. You can now construct a DOM tree (parse) with an unpadded input. We improved the performance of number serialization: files full of numbers parse 8% to 25% faster than version 4.0. We have C++26 annotations, better document streams, and so forth. Read the full article for details and more changes.

At first I thought it was a tongue in cheek joke. But apparently real life is stranger than fiction...
Extraordinary for any American president: Mr. Trump offered to sell weapons to Xi Jinping of China. That was revealed in an interview by David Perdue, the US ambassador. Trump is withholding a $14 billion arms package to Taiwan approved by Congress. China aids Iran and Russia.

Am totally waiting for the death of leetcode. There is no way anyone can produce high quality AI assisted code without being a reasonably good developer and that's more than enough to develop going forward.
But, a number of excellent Devs will totally flunk a leetcode marathon. It's gotten so absurd that some HFT firms are making experienced PMs do leetcode rounds
The new generation will probably never know
I am wondering when most places (not Google) will drop Leetcode

A 55% inheritance tax means that the govt has taken away as much as 73% of your earnings in direct taxes. Of course one would assume that these rates don't apply to all. The biggest problem with wealth and inheritance taxes in India is that while some families have outlier random wealth, much of the population is just beginning to build cross generational wealth.
I for example stand to inherit a couple of FDs, random LIC policies and a house that is the primary residence of my parents. Nothing more. That is the ceiling of even 99th percentile Indians like my parents who are retired govt employees.
What the govt needs to do is figure out which investments lead to the best growth outcomes on a per rupee basis and help direct capital to those initiatives. Snatching money from people is as old a failed policy as any. Has never worked and never will.
Sabeer Bhatia argues that India should consider a 55% inheritance tax, on the premise that opportunity should come from what people build rather than what they inherit.
But there is a fundamental distinction between inheriting opportunity and inheriting the fruits of a lifetime of work.
A person in India spends decades earning, paying taxes, buying a home, saving and investing — not merely to accumulate wealth, but to ensure that his children have some measure of security after he is gone.
In a country where families routinely have to provide privately for education, healthcare, retirement and their children’s future, a 55% claim on an estate would effectively mean taxing the same family wealth again at the point of death.
If the objective is to create opportunity, the question should be how to expand opportunity for those who have none — not why a parent should be prevented from passing on what he spent a lifetime legally earning and already paying taxes on.
There is a difference between reducing inherited privilege and confiscating inherited security.
The two should not be conflated.

Time for Anthropic to sign MS Dhoni. Grok would likely sign Yuvraj Singh.
Fully expect Gemini to sign Sanjay Manjrekar.
I’m excited to announce my partnership with OpenAI. We have some interesting things coming up, and I can’t wait to share them with you.
I’ve always been curious... One question usually leads to another, and ChatGPT has certainly encouraged that habit. But it has also proved useful when I’ve needed to get things done, like planning my last trip with the family.
That’s what I’m looking forward to with this partnership. Discovering what else I can do with ChatGPT, sharing what I find useful, and encouraging more people to give it a try with something they care about.
A question, an idea, something you’ve always wanted to explore. There are so many places to start.
Looking forward to exploring together.
#Partnership

Tell me about it man. I spend half of my time on every component build, de-bloating code. It's so verbose and unnecessary, it's annoying.
Even frontier models write a lot of slop to achieve any goal, and it takes some real effort to unbloat the code they produce. And if you don't do this - your next task ingests this bloat and generates even more bloat.
You'll end up paying more to achieve less if you don't actively debloat your codebase. But of course, you need to know what you're doing to do this.

My jaw dropped when I saw this goal. That was something that I thought LFC had lost with Mane and Firmino moving on. A throwback to the best Klopp days.

Doesn't apply to BBG anywhere terminals. Many people routinely work at office and from home (think someone with long coverage hours). They aren't going to get two terminals.
i heard bloomberg is trying to lock down remote use of their legacy terminal in order to preserve revenue from decline at odds with their customers wishes -- anyone heard same?

What's stopping these guys from passing a bill to reform high skill immigration as they see fit?
Vice President Vance on the Trump Administration's H1B visa reforms:
"The H-1B should not exist to replace American workers with low-wage foreigners. It should exist to enrich the American economy."
