He’s one of the world’s wealthiest men. That hair is a conscious decision.
Also, Palantir, as a Tolkien reference, is too on the nose. The good guys don’t use the Palantir because of who else may be listening in. We’re so mask-off at this point you might as well call this company “The Eye of Sauron”
But it is a skill issue, just UI/UX design skill. Not software development skill.
We are already there. Just look at the state of society right now and observe the critical thinking and media literacy skills of the average person.
In the words of cyberpunk author Wiilam Gibson: “The future is already here – it’s just not very evenly distributed.“
Anywhere I’ve actually seen it used , assembler and assembly were pretty much interchangeable. Assembly code is probably technically correct, but you could be writing code for the assembler so nobody will actually be confused. Per your example, you might say “I wrote code in MASM,” to reference a specific assembler. Again nobody that’s actually worked with any of this would bat an eye at the usage.

Zhang Bao unlocked his pirate stepmom fantasy.
Computer programs need lots of separate pieces to operate together in subtle ways or your program crashes. With art on the other hand I haven’t heard of anyone’s brain crashing when they looked at AI art with too many fingers.
It’s not so much that AI can’t do it, but the LLMs we have now certainly can’t.

One of these delivered the customer requirement: an egg. The other is still working on an egg incubation framework.
I work with Qt and that framework has preferences for avoiding a lot of modern C++. I generally agree that it makes better code.
Also, I started with C++ in like 1992 and some part of me still feels like templates are newfangled nonsense.
Any “customers” landed are going to be friends and family, if not just outright fakes invented by leo.
Trump has failed so many times I can’t count them all. I have yet to see America succeed at anything under his “leadership”
I’d also add that re-engineering this is not impossible but these things are pretty much the pinnacle of engineering innovation from before the use of electronic controls. To redesign it you’ll probably end up having to relearn all of the genius that went into its design by trial and error.
My sewing expert tells me the slider on the right side the front of the machine controls the stitch length and should be all the way down to set it to maximum. The knobs on the top control zig zag and should probably be all the way left for a straight stitch. If that doesn’t get what you want this machine probably can’t do it.
As far as what it is: that’s a good mystery. It looks like one of machines to come out of the post-WWII Japanese industry. If so, getting info on it will be a challenge.
Re-engineering it sounds like a fun project but who can say how long that will take you before you’re back on your project. You could probably stitch whatever by hand in less time than it would take to disassemble that machine, fabricate a new part and reassemble it
No worries. I can see your frustration and I didn’t want to imply that you didn’t try to figure it out.
I’ve only restored a couple of old machines of a similar vintage. They’re far better than any modern computerized garbage. I would suggest looking for some Internet forums for help. If it’s a Singer or another popular brand, there should be a few specialized forums where real experts participate that can help you better than I could.
Adding to try to be more helpful: post a photo of the front of the machine. Knowing what model it is can help understand what its capabilities are and what controls it has available. It sounds like you want to sew a straight stitch and you want to increase the stitch length. This should be easy to set up on a machine like the one you’ve shown, but I couldn’t tell you from the photo what the maximum stitch length you could do on it is.
The way the thing works is that the needle goes through the fabric, the bobbin mechanism interlocks a separate thread to the top one, the needle is pulled up, then the feed dogs engage the fabric to move it forward (or backwards even) for one stitch length. This dance is controlled by a careful arrangement of gears, cams and levers. You should be able to adjust it within the design parameters of the machine. To do more than that, you would redesign parts of it. Your time would certainly be better spent looking for a different model that supports your needs.
Spell-check did though.
