I recommend trying Codex too. In fact, I recommend running them side-by-side if you have the budget, e.g. have both independently plan the same feature or implement in a different worktree, or have them critique each…
> Looks like it's going to be a thoroughly frustrating experience, even worse than initial rollout. Honestly, why bother with it? They are effectively just releasing the model in-name, but we just get Opus 4.8.
Mice have the best drugs.
There are people interested in overcoming aphantasia (or hypophantasia, an extremely weak form of imagination). Today I have medium-ish hypophantasia, but I remember when I was doing phantasia exercises, in particular…
Maybe if Terence Tao had memorized the entire Internet (and pretty much all media), then maybe he would find bits and pieces of the problem remind him of certain known solutions and be able to connect the dots himself.…
> It’s almost certainly not AIs are RLHF'd to have a corporate-pleasing interface w.r.t. metrics.
The strength of the glasses alters the size of the image that lands on your retinas. More (-) means a smaller image thus you stop seeing movement much closer to the focal point.
Do you? Don't you just halt and say this is too complex?
> Yes machine learning vision systems hallucinate, but so do humans. When was the last time you had full attention on the road and a reflection of light made you super confused and suddenly drive crazy? When was the…
Honestly, on an iPhone, I wish I could completely mute/disable the Phone app, so when it calls it doesn't overtake whatever you are doing, or just delete it.
LLMs can be useful when you have access to a verifier or verification process.
What a mess this language is becoming.
Also, everything you publicly write today is just used as AI fodder. :/
Since when did information travel quickly in the brain (compared to the speed of light)?
I tried GPT-4o earlier where I was iteratively asking it to write and in improve a simple JavaScript web app that renders graphs of equations and it had a lot of trouble with substituting slow and ineffecient code with…
Very impressive. Its programming skills are still kind of crappy and I seriously doubt its reasoning capacity. It feels like it can deep fake text prediction really well, but in essence there's still something wrong it…
This article feels overblown. Is async Rust perfect? No, far from it. It feels like a MVP that Rust's developers have neglected for a while. Hopefully picking up some steam these days with partial implementation of…
We're becoming (cognitively) obsolete.
The problem I find with parenthesized languages is the amount of visual noise coming from the parentheses. If you're learning how to write your first interpreter or compiler I kind of assume you already know how to…
My suggestion was more for people who are starting out developing a programming language. It's the over-emphasis on the syntax so early on I find to be suboptimal. I also find that slapping on a more human readable or…
After taking a compiler course in uni I found the emphasis on dealing with syntax mostly a waste of time. To begin with, do yourself a favor and use S-expression syntax (like Lisp) for your language. They're dead simple…
It's kind of like English. English is in some sense a simple language (grammar), a poor mixture of other languages and its orthography is not good (not an elegant language), but everyone speaks it.
We all know that natural language communication between people never leads to misunderstanding.
What are the other 4 top programming books?
I do concentration meditation. After about 15 minutes most of my mind chatter has dissipated.
