AI safety is just like any technology safety, you can’t bubble wrap everything. Thinking about early stage of electricity, it was deadly (and still is), but we have proper insulation and industry standards and regulations, plus common sense

Everything can be written in JavaScript will be written in JavaScript. Everything can be rewritten in Rust will be written in Rust.

I asked Pi to implement a skill. It was written in TS. Then I ask it to use the skill in two different sessions, none of them can get it working. One has to wrap it with JS and call it. The other has to take the curl commands out of the ski

What I have leaned from the exercise above is that we paid more attention and spent more resources on "metadata" than real data. They are the rabbit holes that lead us to more metadata and forget what we really want. We are all ra

I am "playing" with both pi and Claude (in docker containers) with local llama.cpp and as an exercise, I asked both the same question and the results are in this gist: https://gist.github.com/ontouchstart/d435

This is an experiment on a beautiful Sprint morning. It doesn’t matter which model is behind it. Reading a real book is more important than fighting misinformation.

Are you going to join codex team as well? I am curious about how the codex code base will evolve after you guys joined. It is going to affect Python/Rust toolchains tremendously.

It is interesting to see this after yesterday’s announcement of Unsloth Studio: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47414032 Uv did solve a distribution problem for them. There is still a lot of room to grow in the space o

Daniel, it works now. Thanks for the hard work! https://gist.github.com/ontouchstart/532312fcba59aec3ce7f6aa...

I have been updating the gist above and will stop this ``` ../scipy/meson.build:274:9: ERROR: Dependency lookup for OpenBLAS with method 'pkgconfig' failed: Pkg-config for machine host machine not found. Giving up.

Thank you Daniel. Here is the error message on my machine: https://gist.github.com/ontouchstart/86ca3cbd8b6b61fa0aeec75... It seems we might need more instructions on how to set up python (via uv) in vanilla MacOS.

I still have trouble to get unsloth studio setup working on my MacBook because of Python tooling issues. However, since I already have pi working with llama.cpp server from a docker container, I did a quick experiment to compare three code

Today is Pi Day and I bumped into this blog: https://mariozechner.at/posts/2025-11-30-pi-coding-agent/#to... Being 4.5 months behind the trend has its advantage. ;-)

Stupid/smart are social construct and illusions. The reality is different.

If this works, we might be able to have a special ISA for LLM and forget about high level computer language for humans. I am talking strictly about computing, not garbage in garbage out IO.

The consumer/producer dichotomy misses another aspect of coding, with or without AI. About a decade ago, STEM education was trendy and everyone was getting Lego, Raspberry Pi etc to build robots and writing Python in the name of STEM.

I finished reading the thin book "Systemantics" by John Gall yesterday (thanks @dang). I realized that the problem of AI generated/edited content flooding everywhere around us is a symptom of something wrong with the System.

Reading it now on Kindle Scribe without the help of AI ;-). When I am done, I might simply replace SOUL.md with it and move on.

Thanks for the recommendation. I downloaded both social.pdf and noproof.pdf on my Kindle Scribe to read them carefully and revisited the discussions on EWD638 and EWD692. It is very interesting to see how Sir Tony diverged from EDW: one is

Literate programming in the sense of Donald Knuth is more about the chain of thoughts of the programmer than documenting code with comments or doc strings.

Never underestimate the power of mathematics. On the other hand, a lot of mathematical breakthroughs in the history are not found by people doing mathematics but in physics and engineering. Calculus, statistics, information theory, etc. Eve

We are at the age of alchemy, wait for the age of chemistry and physics. New mathematical foundations are yet to be found.

When I discovered that some local llama.cpp can OCR PDF images generated by TeX, I started to revisit literate programming defined by Donald Knuth and explore using PDF as the source of truth artifact (instead of Markdown or program source
