Caleb James DeLisle (nprofileβ¦8cpz) imo it might be progression but not true innovation. the languages for example are just combining ideas from somewhere 1960 to 1980, maybe 1990s. go is, more or less plan9 languages. llms are mostly markov chains on speed.
a forum based on AP would be nice. forums were good, just not for the plebs. effectively fedi is a forum starting page displaying new threads and replies.
hardware maybe, but i don't see the massive improvements anymore. mostly refinements of existing stuff.
