From agriculture to AI, each major economic revolution is driven by a new kind of value conversion: a way of transforming one type of value into another. These revolutions are not defined by a single invention, but by a sequence of innovations: a core conversion, the infrastructure to scale and distribute various innovations, and the technologies that reduce the cost of distance and delays. We shall analyse six major revolutions through this lens and show how each laid the groundwork for the ne

CPU cores have become significantly wider over the past decade. Ten years ago, the highest-performance CPUs could decode only up to four instructions simultaneously and execute up to eight instructions. However, top-tier CPUs released in recent years have grown to nearly twice this width. For example, Apple’s M4 processor, released in 2024, can decode 10 instructions simultaneously and execute up to 19 instructions. ARM’s Cortex-X925 processor, also released in 2024, can decode 10 instructions s

Machine Code Isn't Scary The first programming language I ever learned was ActionScript. Writing code for Macromedia's Flash might be the furthest away from "bare metal" as you can possibly get. As I continued learning new languages, this starting heritage stuck with me. I was mostly interested in high-level, "web languages". Low-level languages felt impenetrable. Over time, I learned a bit more about them here and there, but for some reason, this notion stuck with me. Low-level things are scar

On eval in dynamic languages generally and in Racket specifically posted by Matthew Flatt The eval function is at the heart of a dynamic language, and it strikes many newcomers as an amazingly powerful tool. At the same time, experienced programmers avoid eval , because unnecessary use creates trouble. It’s not easy to explain why eval should be avoided or when it"s appropriate to use eval , but I’ll take another stab at it here. What is eval ? Consider the following “program” in English pro

All Thibault Launay and his wife Simi wanted nearly five years ago was to build a dream home in Portugal, where they both now live. But what they encountered instead was a broken system. “Fourteen months of delays, 20% budget overruns, and endless stress managing over 10 subcontractors,” Thibault recalled. They bought the land in December 2020, got the construction license in early 2022, and started building that year. “That was supposed to finish in February 2024,” he said. But it’s May 2025,

Currently, there are no nuclear power plants scheduled for construction in the US. Everybody with plans to build one hasn't had a reactor design approved, while nobody is planning to use any of the approved designs. This follows a period in which only three new reactors have entered service since 1990. Despite its extremely low carbon footprint, nuclear power appears to be dead in the water.

This is not something you would ever do outside of exploring a curiosity. Self-mutating/self-modifying programs aren’t useful for a whole lot. They make for difficult debugging, the program becomes hardware dependent, and the code is extremely tedious and confusing to read unless you are an expert assembly programmer. The only go

It initially sounded like a promising "loophole" for retro PC enthusiasts, but unfortunately, things haven't played out as expected.
