Perhaps a bad argument, but for some people a very compelling one...

Fantastic and exciting stuff! I wonder how much of this meteoric progress in actually creating novel mathematics is because the training data is of a much higher standard than code, for example.

What goal posts have I moved? You seem to be attributing arguments to me that I haven't made. I'm simply pointing out that the example you gave involves a level of scaffolding that most projects don't have, so that the data p

In agree in principle, but the compiler is a terrible example given the amount of scaffolding afforded to the LLMs, literally hundreds of thousands of test cases covering all kinds of esoteric corners. Also (and this is coming from someone

Honestly, Vite is all you need. :) It's super flexible compared to the status quo of require vs. import etc. For example, I recently wanted to ship a WASM binary along with the JS rather than making it a separate download (to avoid

I like the sentiment, but building a website that can actually function in that setting isn't a matter of mere polyfills. You need to cut out the insane bloat like React, Lottie, etc., and just write a simple website, at which point yo

The desire to keep things compatible with even ES6, let alone ES5 and before, is utterly bizarre to me. Then you see folks who unironically want to maintain compatibility with node 0.4, in 2025, and realize it could be way worse.... Ironica

It is true! If you explicitly synchronize between threads, sure, you can't optimize it in general, but if not, the compiler is well within its rights to cache the access.

If what you call gets inlined, then the compiler can see that it either does or doesn't modify the attribute and optimize it accordingly. Even virtual calls can often be inlined via, e.g., class hierarchy analysis and inline caches. If

Any decent JIT compiler (and HotSpot's is world class) will optimize this out. Likely this was done very early on in development, or was just to reduce bytecode size to promote inlining heuristics that use it

I like this analogy, thanks!

Indeed. I like to call this form of code organic slop , and it predates the LLM era.

Time travel debugging is soooo cool and I wish it was more widespread (of course I'm aware it's very difficult to implement and has unavoidable overhead). Imagine if an automated error report from a user of your app included not o

Haven't looked closely, but on modern x86 CPUs it might be possible to do much better with the gf2affineqb instructions, which let us do 8x8 bit matrix multiplications efficiently. Not sure how you'd handle the 2-bit part, of cour

Yep, good stuff. Another nice trick to extract more ILP is to split it into even/odd exponents and then recombine at the end (not sure if this has a name). This also makes it amenable to SLP vectorization (although I doubt the compiler

The issue is that the consumer strongly associates "AI" with LLMs specifically. The fact that machine learning is used to blur your background in a video call, for example, is irrelevant to the consumer and isn't thought of a

Of course. But typical, live collaborative software doesn't need to be (and shouldn't be) decentralized. In such software it's annoying to not be able to (even speculatively) acquire unique access to an object. I'd be ve

Enjoyed the article! As someone who's worked on bits of collaborative software (and is currently helping build one at work), I'd caution people from using CRDTs in general. A central server is the right tool for the job in most ca

But they're not "slow"! Unlike biological thinking, which has a speed limit, you can accelerate these chains of thought by orders of magnitude.

Amazing!! This is a project I've wanted to tackle for years but never got the chance to properly do.

... no, that's not boxing. Boxing is storing value types on the heap.
