I don't think AGI is right around the corner

news.ycombinator.com Dwarkesh Patel 2026-03-07 22:45:20

“Things take longer to happen than you think they will, and then they happen faster than you thought they could.” - Rudiger Dornbusch I’ve had a lot of discussions on my podcast where we haggle out timelines to AGI. Some guests think it’s 20 years away - others 2 years. Here’s where my thoughts stand as of June 2025. Continual learning Sometimes people say that even if all AI progress totally stopped, the systems of today would still be far more economically transformative than the internet.

Nobody has a personality anymore: we are products with labels

news.ycombinator.com Freya India 2026-03-08 00:16:37

Therapy-speak has taken over our language. It is ruining how we talk about romance and relationships, narrowing how we think about hurt and suffering, and now, we are losing the words for who we are. Nobody has a personality anymore. In a therapeutic culture, every personality trait becomes a problem to be solved. Anything too human—every habit, every eccentricity, every feeling too strong—has to be labelled and explained. And this inevitably expands over time, encompassing more and more of us,

Portrait of Jean Miélot (after 1456), Jean le Tavernier Canterbury, AD 1105 The cold of the stone floor in the scriptorium creeps up through Godwin’s boots. He pays it no mind. Before him lies a copy of the Chronicle, just arrived from the old capital of Winchester. In it is written the history of the English people. His people. Today, his job is to make another copy.

Async Queue – One of my favorite programming interview questions

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-07 17:46:01

For the past 7+ years, I've been conducting a programming interview that has been a true personal favorite of mine. It was passed down to me from good friends (Jeremy Kaplan and Carl Sverre, and it was the latter whom I believe invented it). This interview has probably been given by us between 500-1000 times across different companies, and upon googling for "async queue interview", I see tons of results. So, it's probably fine for me to blog about it. My main goal with this blog post is to disc

Building the Rust Compiler with GCC

news.ycombinator.com Unknown 2026-03-07 23:46:02

Bootstrapping Rust with GCC If you know one thing about me, it is that I love working on the Rust compiler. Some people kayak, travel or play guitar - and I stare at assembly, trying to figure out what I broke. This summer, I am taking on quite a large task: bootstrapping the Rust compiler using `cg_gcc` What does that mean? "bootstrapping" is simply a name given to the Rust compiler build process. So, what I am really trying to do is build a Rust compiler, without using LLVM - and using GCC

The enduring legacy of Hiromu Arakawa’s FullMetal Alchemist can be partially owed to its pair of anime adaptations by animation studio Bones.

Now, 15 years after FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood concluded, Bones is back at adapting Arakawa’s work, namely her fantasy manga Daemons of the Shadow Realm. During Crunchyrol
