@WhatsApp Please improve WhatsApp Desktop. It has become slow and laggy—files often don't download, drag-and-drop is sluggish, messages load slowly, and it logs out too often. If you want to do experiements do it but atleast give us "whatsapp lite desktop" something..
AI is 90% matrix multiplication. New inventions are just trying to make that math fast.
Besides optimizing, the main goal is stability while scaling. Look at the Llama 3 paper: at 16,000 GPUs, errors happen every 1.8 hours. At 131,000 GPUs, errors happen every 15 minutes.
The whole world is just trying to maximize performance while scaling without the system breaking.
It's basically just system design for the AI world now. Fullstack is done.
Defaults help you launch fast. Custom engineering helps you scale forever.
Google built Spanner. AWS built Nitro. Cloudflare built Pingora.
Convenience is a tax on performance.
To own the market, you must own the infrastructure.
@durov i think we should now start to talk in some gibrish language only.. don't depend on the software to encrypt it.. no E2E , now only F2F (friend to friend)
How to become a better programmer?

This is it, no way around it.
If you missed this video, I strongly recommend watching it. It's a great introduction to 3D graphics, short and easy to understand. I had a lot of fun reimplementing it in Winforms and text mode.
