The difference is a yolo’d script needs to be verified everytime it’s generated. So it makes sense to generate it and verify it once (a cli command or mcp call). I think OP’s example is bad. As that (if I understand the example correctly as

Mathematical proofs are hard to come to, but easy (or “cheap”) to verify. Also having a math proof processed through a transformer to derive an output that matches existing proof patterns kid of makes sense. The former allows you to generat

Back when Bun was announced I was so excited for it. I was onboarding on a large node TypeScript project at the time and the build time and resource usage were killing me. Deno’s compatibility hacks and rough edges with node made it a non-s

It boggles the mind what AI is doing to some people’s brains. A few months ago we released various vibe-coded SDKs in few languages and a CLI for a rest API we had. Then an immediate ask after that was a dashboard that shows the usage of th

Normally I either encrypt a non-boot drive (if the VPS provider offers such a thing) or use gocryptfs. It’s still a pain though when reboots happen, unless you also put your key there. Application layer encryption makes it easier.

E2EE means the keys are on your own computer (or device or brain etc). The “someone else’s” computer is just hosting encrypted blobs.

It would make hosting a "Family and/or friends" instance possible. I do go back and forth on the accessibility tradeoffs of E2EE for average people though. In this scenario, lose or forget your key/password and you lose

Well not Go's package manager, right? Go modules came out 2019, Swift 2015? I wasn't arguing against Swift needing a default package manager, I agree with that. Just the examples you picked to compare with are odd in context. You

I find your choice of examples (dotnet and go) baffling to me. Both enjoyed a very long life (8-10 years) past “1.0” before getting a standard package manager. The other examples, Java, python and JS are significantly older than Go (and eve

Apple has something with Swift similar to what Google has with Go. The language has a lot of desirable features for server development very much like Go and Rust. Especially when compared to Java and C#. It makes sense for them to build the

Exactly. We have about 6 new repos for new green-field projects each with 700+ auto-generated issues so far. No one is looking at them, but we do have them tracked so "Mission Accomplished" GWB-style.
