Oh, I have no doubt that they could have extracted those gains from Zig! My point is more that, from a relatively naive line-to-line port, they were able to claim these benefits without much effort. It's not great for Zig if you have t

I think it'd take you at least eleven days to meaningfully coordinate 50 people!

Without commenting on Bun itself as a project, or the nature of the rewrite, it can't be good for Zig that a naive rewrite away from it fixed memory leaks, improved stability, shrunk binary size by 20%, and improved performance by 5%.

The title suggested a far more interesting piece than the actual post. Alas.

It's not illegal to distil the traces, but it is also not illegal for them to try to stop it.

Being absolutely sure that your code behaves the same as the original game, so that you have a strong baseline to go from.

The Steam Deck is the closest thing the PC world has to a console (barring the Steam Machine, of course), and features near-console levels of hardware/software integration.

I am _very_ familiar with Claudish, and to some extent, the other AIs' writing styles. This article is human-written and features human writing quirks. The very first sentence > Back in 2022 and 2023 there were two big branches of m

Suggesting that the probability is non-zero is not the same thing as suggesting it as fact.

Looks like they're still getting the post out, but the model is live now, and the system card is at https://www-cdn.anthropic.com/d00db56fa754a1b115b6dd7cb2e3c3... .

The Chinchilla scaling laws give you a minimum for the number of tokens you should be using for a given size: if you can't meet what they suggest for that size, you should shrink the size, as, otherwise, the capacity of the model is go

I agree with the others - I'm sure that you've provided your own input, but Claude's writing and design style is so overwhelmingly dominant that those who have spent time with it can immediately recognise it, and it makes it

The irony of a post about a port primarily written by Claude having been primarily written by Claude on a website primarily designed by Claude. Come on.

Hot-reloading. You can edit your logic without rebuilding and restarting the host application; this cuts your iteration time from minutes to seconds, especially if the application is in a state that would need to be recreated.

What kind of scale are you thinking of?

I would argue that memory safety is part of devex: it's just one less thing you have to be constantly vigilant about.

I would be very surprised to see a large Rust codebase being harder to maintain than a large Zig codebase. The former makes it much easier to maintain invariants at scale.

It wouldn't be data distillation: instead, it would be teacher-student distillation. The teacher model has stronger representations that the student can mimic, which would give it more capability over training on the data itself.

It's a refutation that we know how they work now . In the limit, though, yes, we are likely to be able to trace the process: it is possible, though, that understanding remains inaccessible because the trace is beyond comprehension. If
