Great post malisper! Glad to know that we have a long way to go before something like copilot makes developers obsolete. But I think it's not a question of if, the question is when. We're essentially automatons, just running on meat substrate, with constraints on power consumption and head size; so fundamentally there is no reason why can't implement our own brains in silicon. I resonate with Elon's quote "Humanity is the biological bootloader for digital super-intelligence" on this.

Sequoia backed bitcoin exchange Coinswitch Kuber has disabled sending any bitcoins outside its network. You can "buy" bitcoins there, sell them there, but can't actually send the bitcoins to your hardware wallet, or any other address.

Yes adobe is pretty open in that respect. Our team was also planning to present this in google io, but somehow that did not materalize and autodesk beat us to the punch by demoing something very similar!

ex-Adobe engineer here - don't be disappointed, I think they'll do it soon.

I was working in the acrobat team till last month, and we were working on porting the Acrobat Reader to the web. When I left it was in the internal beta stage with minor UX tweaking work left. It is expected to be release very soon.

I think similar efforts may be (or will soon be) ongoing in other teams as well.

> Source code conveys everything possible about your program in any language.

I disagree with this statement. Behaviour of the program will be determined by machine instructions that the compiler generates for a given source plus the machine environment where these instructions will be run. And it is not guaranteed that the generated instructions will be same for a given source across different architectures and environments that the compiler is run (plus I guess there is generally some degree of non-determinism in the compilers as well, because of the different optimizations it can make under different conditions, which are not "explicit" from the source itself).

As far I understood, in the notion of explicitness that is defined in the article, it is defined that the language where source almost completely specifies the behaviour of program, irrespective of the compiler environments where it is compiled on, is an explicit language.

I think in the sibling comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16034541 bad_user articulates more clearly the point I was trying to make.
