BQN[1] (an APL variant). There is something really beautiful/elegant to me about composing higher order functions in a purely point free way. Array programming is a nice application of this, and this one has the best ergonomics. [1] h

I took a (turned into multiple) philosophy classes that forced me to explain hard concepts and my opinions on them to other people and then understand their perspective. I think this applies to many hard, deeply technical, subjects, but dis

Interesting how this relates to LLMs scaling laws.

> This results in a significant storage footprint, often exceeding 12GB. 12GB being considered significant makes me feel good, a return to simplicity. The other day I couldn't provision a VM with less than 512GB of storage... I can&

I did LFS after I started dailying gentoo with a custom kernel (~2017), it was actually fairly easy, if not time consuming. People on IRC are extremely helpful. These days I write code more than infra, but I still think it was valuable. Tha

Sort of an obvious move to open source it--they're selling shovels and just showed everyone where the mines are. This new release will generate more hype/competition around AI, with data and training increasingly becoming the moat

Yeah, although I am not doing much hardware stuff anymore, I'm thoroughly disappointed in the lack of component stores that just had stuff for makers. My dad went to Sim Lim Square (in Singapore) back in the 90s and he wanted to take m

Some of my earliest memories are at a Radio Shack trying to convince my dad to buy me an RC car. Eventually we switched to Fry's (where I bought and built my first computer) but that died too... Now there's a big hole in the bay a

The title should be “Do LLM building companies work?”. The article fails to address companies that will be using LLMs or companies innovating on other models/architectures. I don’t think most people looking to build an AI company want

Metrics are ambiguous because they are abstractions of success and miss context. If you want a pretty little number, it doesn’t come without cost/missing information. I don’t know if this phenomenon is aptly characterized as “too much

People highly underestimate the number of 18-21 year olds sports gambling. At college it seems like slightly over 50% of the guys I meet do. Some just using pick 'ems but it's not uncommon for them to use their parents identity to

There is something so satisfying about software written in C99 with this style/philosophy. This program has just the right amount of complexity. This is an art that needs to come back into style.

This will probably be an unpopular opinion, but Meta is in the right direction and has to go on an Amazon type arc to align their employees with their vision. I watched this podcast that released around the same time and Zuckerberg's a

Sorry, I was just going off the demo. Maybe demo the keybinds briefly. If you get a demo of someone editing stuff super quickly using only keybinds I think it would look pretty cool. Right now I don’t know if the value prop is strong enoug

This feels helpful as I have to hold less stuff in my mind, but the UI is way too mouse dependent right now. You guys should make some shortcuts and somehow make it “tiling” like a window manager (dwm), so you don’t have to manually resize

The people described in the article tie the value/success of their product to how much buzz it creates. "Building in public" has shifted away from a way to get initial beta testers and feedback into an echo chamber of clout.

Generally, people who work as founding engineers are friends of the founder and believe in the founder and idea. It's not really a job people should be hiring/applying for.
