Here's the tweet where Karpathy coined the term. tldr; fast throwaway code from a LLM, where the human is just looking at the results and not trying to make maintainable code. > There's a new kind of coding I call "vibe co

Do terminals usually do something intersting with these? if (cmd.opts.useHyperlinks()) { const path = try std.fs.path.join(cmd.arena, &.{ cmd.opts.directory, entry.name }); try writer.print("\x1b]8

The way single issue parties normally affect policy is that getting a seat signals the other parties to take the issue more seriously (eg in this case balance between interests of copyright holders vs interests of the public), so the lack o

Whether LLMs in general are useful for this is a different question though.

Python got a JIT recently (an experimental / off by default feature in 3.13).

This is oft quoted but if you read the posts, Uber discovered they didn't want SQL (or apparently transactions etc), and implemented a nosql that happened to use mysql as a backend, and that was a much bigger change than moving off PG.

Macs weren't really consumer devices except for some rich americans, but Amigas were.

Nitpick: This was the 90s already. 68k based Sun gear was in the 80s but 90s was the RISC era already for Unix boxes. (except for NeXT I, they continued launching new 68k models into the 90s and got left behind)

.. And the 1992 Amiga 600 and 1993 1200 sold 193k/95k. The volume was always in the A500 form factor machines that used a TV as the display half the time. Commodore's focus on low cost stuff (in their own way) while PC clones mana

It lasted pretty long, especially considering the rate of evolution in those days. It debuted already in 1985, and there were some incremental improvements along the way (first the A3000 and then AGA A4000/A1200 in 1992). After the big

How much fruit and vegetable agriculture (topic of the article) are they doing with their desalinated water? Hopefully none as they generate 99+% of their electricity from oil+gas and the climate impact from it would be atrocious.

Functional programming is about clarity of expression and reduced cognitive load. Aside from FP, the Ocaml type system is better than the mentioned ones. From one hand type inference means you have to write out types much less, and from the

Hopefully this will be a catalyst to bring language integraed machine readable schema checking into wider use (ala Clojure), as static typing is crap for structured data/API stuff.

I guess there's survivorship bias, but the ones that first come to mind fared pretty well with compatibility (eg C++, Typescript, Ocaml)

Fairphones have never been like that. Eg FP3 got 7 years of updates (extended from 5 promised at launch).

The article is misleading here in that the earlier Fairphones had removable batteries without glue.

The limitations of DSLs and the pull of Python make it a practical sweet spot I think if they manage to get the Python compatibility up to par.

Demand for eaten calories is not very elastic but plentiful food crops lead to piping crops through the wasteful, environmentally harmful & unethical thingthat is meat production.

This could make Mojo look even better as it would ld be more compute heavy and the last step thread reduction would be less relevant.
