Your RAM is an illusion. The moon needs a new timezone. Compilers might start vibe...compiling. Welcome to 2026.
In this video, I break down my biggest Computer Science predictions for the year!
What do you think, do you agree? Disagree? Let me know in the comments!
Timestamps:
00:00 Treating RAM like a...Network?
03:55 Lunar Timezones
07:10 Rust vs C++ vs CHERI?
10:58 Slopsquatting
13:40 Non-deterministic ML Compilers?
2026 Predictions (simplified):
65% - At least one major cloud provider will release compute offerings with a "tiered" or "burstable" memory class where you explicitly pay less for memory backed by CXL
80% - A published implementation strategy for official Coordinated Lunar Time as an operational standard
40% - A mass produced consumer device ships with a CHERI-enabled processor
70% - A major developer package repository has to temporarily halt registrations for +24hrs
65% - LLVM MLGO lists 3+ ML-guided heuristics
