Yes. But you’ll spend more in tokens than you’ll get back from prize money.

Yeah you’ll never catch me drinking a Guinness while standing on my head at a company event. Mostly due to a total lack of coordination.

A major rewrite in another language is also unusual for this project. It took TypeScript a year to go from announcing tsgo to releasing TypeScript 7.0. That work was done in parallel; here the work is being done serially — and it’s likely t

Maybe they will! Are you expecting them to live-tweet their work or something?

This post doesn’t make sense. It was rewritten in Rust. The rewrite itself is complete (no more Zig). Various people have claimed that Bun in Zig had a lot of tech debt. If they’re to be believed, it seems natural to assume the rewrite do

Lovely to hear the choir rehearsing a psalm sung in the longstanding Anglican choral tradition (Psalm 91 to a tune by H. Walford Davies). Having spent a lot of time in those sorts of churches, feels weird to walk right up to the altar.

Totally get that for code! But there are orgs where non-code things are compartmentalised — maybe for leak reasons — that still want to employees to make use of agents.

[I work for Slack, opinions very much my own] Having agents see everything you and your colleagues see is cool. The challenge comes when you want to make certain things private to certain people. In that world you don’t want multiplayer age

FWIW, LLMs make this 95% less of a problem. It’s possible to create read-only viewers for Word, Excel & PowerPoint files that are more-or-less pixel accurate on 99% of files, so long as the user has the correct fonts installed (or, in t

The language an application is authored in does not matter to me, as a user. I care that it is widely-used (safety in numbers), that it works, and that it is fast. It's cool that the Zig project exists, but I'm unlikely to ever us

15+YOE. Fable 5 is well above the level of Opus. I have used it alongside Opus for a range of hard problems, including porting a large static analysis tool to Rust, building various tooling around .pptx and .xlsx documents. In all cases, Fa

Very cool that the language allows specification of a type in this way. I added a similar type — “non-empty-string” to a typechecker for PHP, and it’s been adopted widely in the PHP ecosystem. It turns out to be pretty handy, especially whe

Maybe related to the heatwave? I've heard some European data centres are having trouble with their cooling systems.

As far as I can tell, Relays[1] are the glue that makes ATProto work performantly. I think they're supposed to be content-agnostic — they just shuttle data through, reducing the number of services each AppView needs to be aware of. As

Revenue went from $3.7B to $13.07B — roughly 3.5x. Operating loss went from ~$8.8B to ~$20.9B — roughly 2.4x. Doesn't seem like a domesday scenario.

What exactly? From what I’ve heard, most of what was released in the months after the acquisition were features that were already in development/behind feature flags.

Yeah — but includes a fun cameo from a famous 90s TV dad.

Seems like the most plausible explanation. OTOH it feels like this is the sort of thing that might have been discovered/mitigated more quickly had there been a human in the loop.

I’m also an immigrant. When I heard the crowd roar every time Trump said “we’re going to kick them out” I knew exactly what the crowd was cheering. Trump never used those moments to say “but America is a nation of immigrants and we celebrat

This like if BitTorrent cut off Windows support over objections to Microsoft embrace/extend/extinguish. It’s a slightly incoherent position.

I’m reasonably certain that Schmidt anticipated that reaction after the first speaker was booed. It had the vibe of “These people need to hear the Truth”.

For select tasks the latest LLMs can speed things up by an order of magnitude. Best example I’ve found: translating code from one language to another where there’s a large corpus of existing acceptance tests.
