- 21 [[(hidden) heJsCKvBw]], [[(hidden) 3OrRyssuz]] getting worse, is masked / is riding the benefit wave of [[(hidden) sr-m_VdZk]] improvements
  - to understand the full stack, you have to go very, very deep - down to assembly, to hardware, to physics & electrical engineering
    - & since the best way to learn is by building projects, you'd have to build an actual computer, from scratch, in order to understand it well
      - it's insanely hard
        
        some very smart ppl are doing stuff like this & teaching it too, e. g. [[(hidden) DEiTbB4u7]]
        
        meanwhile, the [[(hidden) 4npmJjA1a]] / keep growing higher and higher, and one needs to specialise more, thus it gets increasingly difficult to understand the whole stack
        
        it grows both higher and lower. lots of improvements in the lower level as well
        
        the world of programming is huge

        so that could be a reason why [[civilization]]s collapse - it becomes too difficult to grasp your technology, thus the decline
        
        interesting point from the talk tho - that after hundreds or thousands of years, we are able to reinvent & go further than previously
        
        is it that our brain capacity improves (unlikely, too little time),
        
        or is it other factors/[[(hidden) PTgK8rni6]]s that weren't breakable back then but are now?
        
        or something else? e.g. luck?

    - #observation another reason to learn [[(hidden) dQqknfJ8v]] is that engineers et al in [[(hidden) En_5wCz1g]] are exceptionally good. plus most likely [[(hidden) f1aG0Mdsv]]
    - re: we're getting used to software not working
      - well maybe
        
        but expanding on the notes above, it's not only the complexity of the software stack growing
        
        it's also the requirements for the software!
        
        think of how many dimensions a saas product like an online CRM has to support - it's insane!
        
        {{[[TODO]]}} list some
        
        thus the growing amount of abstractions - there's a real need for them and they solve real problems
        
        but it doesn't change the fact that things are getting more and more [[(hidden) D3nygmJHX]] & harder go grasp
