Criticism noted! But it is experimental, unconstrained FFI is inherently unsafe, and not all JavaScript developers are "mildly educated web devs". I doubt we'll see this go into mainstream dependencies likely to be used by

https://nodejs.org/en/blog/release/v26.1.0 is particularly cool as it added initial FFI support.

I agree philosophically about building more takes on ideas to flesh out ideas. I guess I was querying more the idea about an agent being part of DS4 specifically. I'm 100% up for an "agent by antirez", but I'm intrigue

I've been using the Q4 version on my Mac Studio over my local network and it's been good. Indeed, I had the first ever experience where I was playing with it alongside my various other agents and forgot it was a local model as i

I don't know if it relates to the same data centers, but this also comes hours after several still recent Grok models were deprecated at short notice. Grok 4.1 Fast is the cheapest way to do research on X (cheaper than the X API!) and

Because image models at the basic level are just text tokens in, image tokens out. You'd need an agentic process on top to come up with a strategy, review output, try again, and so on. I believe Nano Banana and gpt-image-2 have a littl

This seems analogous to how a human would do it accurately. If you asked an artist to paint stones in a large circular arrangement with the numbers in order in one shot, with no fixes or sketching allowed, it wouldn't be surprising to

I did something similar, though at a much smaller scale, with Windows 3.1 Solitaire a few weeks ago, both to see how possible it is (with LLMs) and also to learn about Ghidra for myself. Sadly, I discovered nothing new that wasn't al

I used the term "smuggling" in the casual sense of hiding something. I have edited it to "place such identifiers surreptitiously" to avoid making whatever implication appears to have been taken.

I wonder if projects which are anti-AI could place such identifiers surreptitiously into docs or commits as a way to sabotage people using Claude Code. Your project isn't going to get many AI PRs if just cloning your project wiped out

This idea made me think that maybe point and click adventure gams could provide an interesting model here, too. You still have nouns and verbs and locations, but the possible nouns and verbs are made much more explicit.

Nice work! I've been simultaneously working on something similar though a totally different approach. I'm using `snowflake-arctic-embed-s` (which I've benchmarked to be the most accurate small embedding model for my use case

It sounds like asking CS PhDs to do a world record speed run. I wouldn't be surprised if the people best suited to the task aren't the type to get onto "a vetted list".

I'll need to engage in conjecture over elementary school lessons from 35 years ago, but one thing that comes to mind is we were calculating circle circumferences and areas quite quickly following the formulas. We still learnt arithmeti

I remember when my school introduced calculators and my parents got upset about it: "They won't learn to do sums in their heads!" Yet it opened us up to working on more interesting, larger problems, at a faster pace. LLMs cou

Not as cool as this, but I had a fun Claude Code experience when I asked it to look at my Bluetooth devices and do something "fun". It discovered a cheap set of RGB lights in my daughter's room (which I had no idea used Bluet

I'm going to join the exodus, though for a different reason. Switched to Orbstack and ever since Backblaze refuses to back up saying "disk full" as Orbstack uses a 8TB sparse disk image. You can exclude it, but if they won&#x

As a newsletter company, we've dealt with this for over a decade now since we do the right thing and do double opt-in which involves sending the subscriber an email on signup. Until a few years ago, IP reputation was a good defence aga

We also believe that, generally, the community have been indicating that, by and large, they aren't interested in this content. How can that be true? Reddit is vote-based. So if people weren't interested, they wouldn't vote

That's awesome news, and I can't get a more authoritative source than you! I'll do some tests and update my assumptions :-) I really do wish I saw more blog posts and things about TruffleRuby, but maybe that is just a sign I

That is broadly my experience with pure Ruby, yes. In terms of C extensions, I know they were doing some work on this but it was a WIP last time I looked, although maybe I should refresh my knowledge on this if it's now all good to go!

I've not got the numbers to hand between versions, but YJIT in Ruby 4.0 did shift the needle a bit, so yes, some gap closing. I also forget what the warmup was like, but to get 2-3x somewhat more was needed than with YJIT. (Both runnin

TruffleRuby is very capable and deserves to be promoted more. I recently made a JPEG encoder/decoder in Ruby and it's 2-3x times quicker on Truffle. Native dependencies is where you can get caught out, but for pure Ruby, TruffleRu
