So would you take these claims seriously if they came from OpenAI (since Codex is a pretty lean CLI app)? If so, I think it would be in the spirit of HN to discuss the subject matt…

By frontend, do you mean wasm in the browser? I'd have expected multithreading there, especially in wasm, to be extremely unergonomic. Maybe you mean to refer to concurrency?

Note that something that helped the misinformation was that, on Twitter, there were Kimi employees expressing their surprise that the base model was Kimi K2.5, and their indignatio…

Thanks for correcting the title I misremembered. Fwiw, the article did culminate with LSTMs: https://karpathy.github.io/2015/05/21/rnn-effectiveness/ --------------------- EDIT: It…

I can spare a minute :). This isn't exhaustive because this is just stuff I know of, obviously. - At Stanford, Led research on the first (to my knowledge) crop of joint image/text …

Thank you!

Gotcha. I'm genuinely curious: by "impressive", are you referring to coverage? I'd be grateful if you could say a few words about it could be more impressive (e.g, if you indeed me…

Ah, I just learnt that you don't. Jarred's comment saying exactly that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48133806

Do you have some examples?

Not OP. For this particular use case, I think performance is a primary concern. But if you mean in general, I also totally feel that languages that let you represent more invariant…

Fwiw, that's not the stated motivation for the rewrite experiment. In fact, the Rust rewrite is slower to compile than the zig code when compiled with their internal fork of zig (t…

I'm pretty sure that they have decided that backwards-compat is not the best path for Mojo. Matter of fact, the following is the _last_ item on the roadmap on the home page: > Supp…

Well, of the top of my head, both chatgpt.com and Gemini have text on their home page to the effect of "AI can make mistakes". I'll bet a few bucks such copy can be found in other …

Do you do rolling deploys?

I'd love to see a link to these emails, if you have one handy!

I don't think pypi or npm allow replacing existing packages?

Are you saying that VSCode runs tsserver in its own NodeJS process? Or are you saying that VSCode uses the NodeJS it ships to run tsserver in a different process?

Just want to say that as an AI engineer, you and the Latent Space folks are doing work that is extremely useful to me. Without y'all, I'd be forced to doom scroll on X to catch up …

Super interesting! Was this C# or something? is there a write-up/mini-blogpost about this somewhere?

How is enshitification (the gradual degredation of service and products for commercial gain) even related to what's being discussed (the gradual obsoletion of a certain set of skil…

I doubt that Meta (the company that sponsors the work on pyrefly) is looking forward to selling a product based on Python typing (assuming that's what's "what's being glazed in the…

Koka, Roc-lang come to mind.

IIUC, triton uses Python syntax, but it has a separate compiler (which is kinda what Mojo is doing, except Mojo's syntax is a superset of Python's, instead of a subset, like Triton…

Fwiw, Chris has mentioned both of those as lessons he took from Swift that he'd like to avoid for Mojo.

Yeah the rate of progress in AI definitely makes it seem like that from the outside for me too. But having never written cuda, I have to rely on authority to some extent for this q…
