John Carmack, the renowned computer scientist and creator of the Goose language, has introduced a new approach to data processing that significantly reduces the amount of manual work required. This approach not only simplifies the process but also optimizes performance, making it particularly useful for complex data processing tasks. The language's ability to handle resizable fields and relative references ensures that data can be easily manipulated and accessed, further enhancing its efficiency.
That looks really neat! The automatic analysis and use of multiple data stacks and resizable fields takes it from "lots of work can be done this way" to "basically everything can be".
The relative references and built in binary structure validation also enable direct memory mapping of data structures and immediate use of network data. "Parsing" file and network data is often 100x slower than it needs to be.
A recent vulnerability in PHP, a widely used programming language for building the internet, has raised concerns about the security of large language models and AI agents, emphasizing the need for immediate patching and increased vigilance to prevent widespread exploitation. This event underscores the importance of robust infrastructure and proactive measures to protect against AI-driven attacks.
Despite significant investment and media attention, artificial intelligence (AI) has yet to yield tangible financial benefits for corporate America beyond the technology sector. Revenue per worker is increasing for the majority of companies (Mag 7), while it remains stagnant for the broader market (S&P 493). Profit margins are also rising for the majority (Mag 7) but are flat for the broader market (S&P 493).
### Briefing Replit, a software development platform, recently moved most of its artificial intelligence (AI) spending from Anthropic to OpenAI. This move resulted in a significant discount of 30% or more, with the total savings amounting to $100 million or more annually.
