I've seen many a JPEG explainer, but this one wins for most aesthetic. The interactive visuals were also nice. My only criticism is the abrupt ending; should have concluded with the "now lets put it all together" slider.

I'm surprised the point/comment ratio is this skewed. There's so much meat in the post to chew on. I like your writing. This was one of those blogs where I can tell you spent a massive amount of time on the technical, but sim

This doesn't match my own experience. I dream of the day the stuff I don't find interesting can get automated but again and again I find myself having to do things by hand. I wonder if this is similar to Chess and Go getting &#x27

Great work! > In practice, that means more logic fits in context, and sessions stretch longer before hitting limits. The AI maintains a broader view of your codebase throughout. This is one of those 'intuitions' that I've

Reminds me of the Clearview AI controversy[0]. I'm not diminishing the ethics debate, but it's crazy to me how easy it was for two non-technical rich dudes in a garage to build Clearview AI (And before vibe-coding!): 1. scra

I'm surprised at the lukewarm reception. Admittedly I don't follow the image-to-3D space as much, but last time I checked in, the gloopy fuzzy outputs did not impress me. I want to highlight what I believe is the coolest innovatio

@simonw's successful port of JustHTML from python to javascript proved that an agent iteration + an exhaustive test suite is a powerful combo [0]. I don't know if TLA+ is going to suddenly appear as 'the next language I want

Anyone have any thoughts? ARC-AGI (and 2) is pretty much the only benchmark of interest to me anymore, due to its abstract nature.

You mentioned "step change" twice. Maybe a once over next time? My favorite Mark Twain quote is (very paraphrased) "My apologies, had I more time, I would have written a shorter letter".

One of my favorite modern dithering methods is blue-noise dithering (see Figure 3b): https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/rendering-in-real-time-wit... The only catch is that generating blue noise is a roughly O(n^2) algo

This excites me. Everyone wants to learn a new language, no one wants to slog. But I'd pay money to play Grim Fandango, and get the chance to ask "What does Morte mean?" and have the LLM, in real-time, tutor me. And if I get
