Soon: Microsoft announces entire TypeScript language ported to Rust using LLM, with a 1M LoC merged after a week of intense vibe coding. And nobody would be surprised.

I wonder what "ordinarily resident" means legally. Like has a permanent address there, even if they don't live there physically..?

Thanks for sharing, love the sketchbook. I'm into tree structures, cellular automata and other models of computation, fractals, etc., so immediately I resonated with your artworks. Oh and you do light art too, that sounds cool! I imagi

Main monorepo: https://codeberg.org/thi.ng/umbrella Looks like a collection of many useful general-purpose dependency-free modules written in TypeScript.

Feel the same way about the intersection of Rust evangelists and vibe coders. The amount of undeserved arrogance by some hardcore believers is toxic to their culture. I am learning Rust, because there is merit to the language itself, and th

The cutting edge of LLM-based software engineering seems to be all about how to harness the "good enough" pseudo-intelligence of consumer-level affordable models into achieving practical results, through iterations, tests, harness

This reminds me of a book, whose title I forget, about creating a compact set of knowledge that will enable us to "rebuild civilization from scratch" in case of a future/fictional post-collapse scenario. I sometimes wonder, g

Very interesting user interface concept, and smooth implementation. It's weirdly intuitive, like navigating on the surface of a sphere, or zooming in/out of a kind of spherical perspective where things that are further away are sm

Good point about how the community of mathematicians is struggling to come to terms with the role of language models in their work, and the similarity with the community of software developers. Machine-generated programs and proofs are cont

Why didn't they just rewrite Claude Code in Rust, and save everyone else the trouble of becoming the subject of their dramatic public experiment.
