I love this take. I think what you're describing is very much happened with the Industrial Revolution. It was just a bunch of powerful, dangerous machines at first, doing small jobs faster. Scaling it up took the whole planet and a lon

Yes, that's exactly why I chose it. It starts with an 'e' and it's not a super common spelling, so it wasn't taken.

I'm sorry it's not working. I've used emacs for almost 40 years and I'm definitely contributing to it being worse, by uploading efrit in its current state. But people were asking me for it. Damned if you do and all that.

I guess I've been summoned. We're primarily focusing on VSCode, IntelliJ and Neovim for Cody. Of course I'll be working on an Emacs version, but that's kinda best-effort for now. As for the new crop of codegen models, th

Kythe was slightly after my time on Grok. It was a side-effort by the Grok team, and it's frankly a miracle they got it out at all. Google only really supports a few big open-source projects - Chrome, YT, k8s. Kythe fell waaaay below t

Howdy! Boy, HN is terrible at recovering old accounts, so I made this new one. I just posted an update to the predictions post, with my own scores. Take a look! As far as blogging goes, I've been on a bit of a hiatus. There's b
