@Sleepy.Time.

walking with Laurie needs to be a weekly thing

@rz2374

the realisation that people could be harvesting our encrypted data so it can be decrypted when quantum computers  become available is terrifying

@mikeg9b

Laurie, thank you for not have background music in this video.

@antieatingactivist

I'm SOOO happy this wasn't a video about the job market. Good video as usual.

@thetendo

The prediction I have for 2025 is Laurie will continue to bring us the best content

@aheendwhz1

It's super pleasant to listen to your talking. You form nice, understandable and clear sentences about complicated topics – in real time, no script. That's pretty rare.

@GRU-26165

05:18 the guy that walks by moves like an AI model 😀

@lukesweigart271

The way you can speak unscripted for extended periods of time with literally zero filler words or pauses is insane

@k98killer

Laurie, have you seen the Polish trains controversy? Security researchers had to reverse engineer train firmware to find and bypass malicious DRM that was sabotaging the trains in Poland. It is a fascinating story.

@DeltaV64

I have a completely different prediction on c++ memory safety. I think the chances of the compiler getting smarter to match go and rust is way more likely than c++ developers migrating to go and rust.

@kevinstefanov2841

operating systems developer here, just discovered this channel with this video and I'm loving what you do! :D I loved the predictions.

@FrenziedManbeast

I came for the CS, and swooned for the awkward train segue. You're a riot.

@rrl9786

This video really has it all:

- Walking around Seattle.

- Dude moonwalks in the background to troll Laurie.

- Computahs.

- Train.

We went from LaurieWired to Laurie in the Wild

@carterisoffline

100% Odds that 2025 is the Year of the Linux Desktop. Trust me guys. It's going to happen. This year.

edit: what have I done

@Mystixor

20:34 Definitely agree with you here. In my freetime I use Ghidra to reverse-engineer games in order to create mods. While there are a lot of times where accuracy is key to understanding what is going on, most of the time spent in Ghidra is wasted by making out what hundreds of functions that I am sifting through on the search for certain functionality even do, roughly. To get a more legible approximation in these situations would be highly desirable.

@notCalle

Raspberry Pi already released a hybrid ARM / RISC-V last year; the Pico 2 featuring an updated RP2040, the RP2350 with more everything, including ARM TrustZone powered secure boot, and, supposedly unless locked down in secure mode, a software selectable choice of booting RISC-V cores instead. There was a very fun talk at 38C3 about how well that particular choice turned out, and Raspberry Pi have a long blog about it too.

So I guess my prediction is that any plans they might have for a main-line hybrid ARM / RISC-V board will be delayed while taking what they learned back to the drawing board.

@deusexaethera

The term "legacy PHP code" hurt my soul. I was writing code before PHP existed.

@TheBilgepumper

I think C and C++ will also continue to be relevant for programming new codebases for microcontrollers and embedded systems for a long time. Anything where the developer has total control over what processes will be running on the target system. Especially when there's just one process, and it's the one they're writing.

So, developing dedicated devices like synthesizers and samplers, battery controllers, controllers in peripherals, etc.

@nnk_ll2

Thanks for the cool informed predictions Asuka, I'll take a look at the full blog post later, I'm not that young, and that often discourages me from pursuing my interest in coding, alongside llms, but I'll start my journey, even if purely as a hobbyist
