In a world full of endless AI slop, it is refreshing to see that there are still folks out there hand-rolling assembler code to squeeze out another 5% efficiency.
- world2vec 2mo agoThey used Claude for this release, as stated yesterday in their twitter page.
- AlecSchueler 2mo agoYes, to find missing backports. The hand rolled aspects are still there and haven't been replaced by slop.
- seanw444 2mo agoIt's frustrating that vibecoding has gotten so pervasive that it's impossible to tell when someone uses LLMs as an awareness-increaser and research assistant, rather than an unreviewable code vomiter. I still appreciate the design of code done via the former strategy, whereas I simply will not rely on the latter.
- 129486218 2mo agoI hope they just use it for finding bugs and not for writing code. Is a Twitter announcement compulsory for getting that open source deal? It's a pity that Claude gets free publicity.
