Is there not a reason to instead port claude code to rust? Do you have internal benchmarks that show that claude code is better at typescript than rust?

How about social media companies, or quasi-monopoly employees (essentially all of FANGMAN)? What about pharma and for-profit healthcare employees?

Yeah, I hate that quote too. People take it so out of context and even ignore engineering for reasonable performance out of the box. I don't blame Knuth, he's talking about focusing on micro-optimizations, but a lot of devs nowada

by theLiminator 6mo ago
Yeah, my theory is that Rust is going to be a somewhat "local optima" for a while for LLMs. LLMs have a couple major problem, they hallucinate and make mistakes. So the ideal way to use them is to constrain them as much as possibl

I'd posit that the average game dev is significantly more skilled than the average dev.

Lol basically we're saying AI isn't AI if we utilize the strength of computers (being able to compute). There's no reason why AGI should have to be as "sample efficient" as humans if it can achieve the same result i

HN in general always does this. I got a lot of push back when I said that in general consumers don't care at all about open source, and the majority of them probably have no clue what it even means. You can really sense the SF-centric

Maybe I could give up uv, but giving up ruff would suck.

Imo, this makes much more sense...

The only good long term solution is ML on replays + moderately up to date client side (non kernel) AC (just good enough to deter cheaters).

Yeah, of course they need to held accountable, and we need to vote in people who will do so. What I'm suggesting is an alignment of incentives that will ensure that police will try to do their best to not be negligent. Of course there&

Off of taxpayer money sadly. Imo we really need a fix for this. When cops are grossly negligent the money should come out of their aggregate pension fund (or at least partially).

I'm not arguing against that, I'm just saying that open source labelling isn't a feature to users. The downstream effects of something being open source might acquire users, but being open source in of itself doesn't do

I doubt that more than 5% of the population knows what open source means.

Though I think it's the closest language right now, ideally you have something that is close to "zero-overhead" as your forever language. I really like how flix.dev looks, but there's always a little nagging at the back

I actually like rust more than Haskell, but `You can even have most of your code base be sans-IO, which is the exact same pattern you'd use in Haskell.` glosses over the fact that in Haskell it's enforced at compile time.

I think relative to the typical Rust code it likely does worse than AI relative to the typical Python code. But due to the compiler, it's possible you might get more correctness out of AI-generated rust code on average.

Is it not the case that they're raising price in response to demand? Ie. if they kept the price low, they'd be perpetually out of supply?

by theLiminator 8mo ago
Interested to know this too

I'd take any paper like this with a grain of salt. I imagine what holds true for models in time period X could drastically be different just given a little more time. Doesn't mean it's not worth studying this kind of stuff, b

I imagine some sort of distill like this would be possible, but I think multi-language training really helps the LLM.

Actually for me the killer feature isn't Claude, but is the planning mode. It's a very nice UX for iteratively creating a spec that I can refine.

Yeah, I really didn't believe in agentic coding until December, that was where it took off from being slightly more useful than hand crafting code to becoming extremely powerful.

Any chance you'll enable remote development on a self-hosted machine with this app? Ie. I think the codex webapp on a self-hosted machine would be great. This is impotant when you need a beefier machine (with potentially a GPU).

I think that's a very extreme take in the software industry. Sure you don't need to pick up every new trend, but a ridiculous amount has changed in the past 10 years. If you only consider stuff from 2016, you're missing some

> Cars are mostly idle and could be cheaper if shared. But why make them significantly cheaper when you can match the price and extract more profits? Yeah, this would rely on robust competition.

I think the network effects of git is too large to overcome now. Hence why we see jj get a lot more adoption than pijul.
