Nah you're not talking about the same thing. When you say it has gun control laws you're thinking "you have to wait 10 days to buy a pistol". When he says it has no gun control laws he's thinking "after 10 days

It's only 2 months old. Clearly vibe coded. Still, kind of crazy what you can vibe code now. Also the actual language design seems quite nice. I'd love something like this that was embeddable (and not vibe coded). There are basica

I believe the word comes from when people started using CNN models in reverse, so hallucinate input that never existed. LLM output is produced via a vaguely similar process. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DeepDream But

I agree, but some people are just miserly. "Why spend money when we don't have to." is probably their thought process.

Zig has a really great backwards compatibility story with C, and it also is a better C compiler even if you don't write a single line of Zig. It's not hard to see why that is popular.

That's still an open legal question. You can't definitively say you don't have the copyright.

They may have been vibe coding and not realised it was an exact copy. AI sometimes makes verbatim copies of things in its training set.

Yeah I just got a new job and they sent me swag for getting to a certain (quite early) stage in the interview process. Awesome idea. It was for an investment bank though and they have essentially unlimited money. I can't imagine any of

I would start with a human-written README and benchmarks?

This is literally not a problem. All Python projects use 4-space indentation. You would not have your editor configured for tabs when editing a Python program. It's really not an issue at all in practice. The issue of making moving cod

I would not be at all surprised if Github adds a first party reputation system. It would be a clever way to increase network effects - imagine if you host on Codeberg you're inundated by AI PRs but on Github you can easily filter them

That's why you use an autoformatter. IMO the biggest downside is that it gets awkward to do closures and inline expressions and things like that. For example Python's `lambda` and if-else expression which are super weird and speci

It's not unreasonable to dislike coding in s-expression syntax. It is not very readable. There's a reason the vast majority of programming languages (especially weighted by popularity) use more traditional syntax.
