Discussion of earlier work by Uber in this same vein, back when it was solely an internal product (to be clear, I don’t know how much the system has evolved internally since these …

The idea that “Chief Scientist” means anything more specific about what he does than “he’s a big shot who was in technology” is misguided. A chief scientist can be super influentia…

The analysis of the kernel bug may be a better thing to link to: https://github.com/dfoxfranke/ripgrep-3494-analysis .

The median developer doing performance work has no background in the subject, they just have a complaint from someone that something is slow, and no real idea how to solve that pro…

DHH is the creator of Hey.

Did you describe what happened in a neutral tone?

A Modest Proposal that will never be implemented: add an interface to String, Boolean, Integer, Long, Float and Double. Because all these types already implement "toString" (and I …

I'd slightly disagree. Here's an example of a programming task that is incredibly complicated: Your job is to maintain and modernize a system while delivering a constant stream of …

I studied math through college before learning to program as an adult and becoming a software engineer, and I strongly disagree. I don't know how to say this in a way that won't so…

The attacking models don't have access to all the data that OpenAI has. Like, they don't say "hey Sol, here's the password to SamA's bank account."

> It's early in the year. You want to drive straight through the middle of Chinatown in SF. Why might that be a bad idea? The premise seems to be that models aren't smart enough to…

Different people should use different words. I don't think a content creator would naturally describe themselves as a content creator. The word is useful for contexts where you nee…

> $168k Billions of dollars of annual revenue go through Claude Code, and the people who work on it must be a lot of millions in headcount. The time matters a fair bit, it's probab…

Related, but not quite the same. The solution to this problem can have more than one loop, whereas TSP definitionally has only one. Not quite sure how that changes the difficulty o…

> And if that's the case, the LogEvent objects will end up automatically promoted to OldGen. Why do you think this would happen? There's no mechanism that makes young gen objects t…

1. A lot more than 1000, you're off by more than one order of magnitude. It's definitely beyond my level of graph theory knowledge (undergrad level) but looking at the paper, it's …

> rejected any notion of utility. It would be fundamentally wrong for you to ask what's the value of solving the Erdős–Hajnal conjecture; the value is that it's solved. I disagree.…

Personal and professional are not mutually exclusive. If I criticize your code, that is a professional criticism. If I criticize your code and say it reflects your consistent carel…

Limiting the options an LLM has does not turn it into a menu, because it can create infinite combinations/chains of behavior based on the items that it has. Of course, that power a…

Maybe there's an argument that a lack of rising profit margins in non-tech companies is a bad sign for AI, but this article doesn't make it. Why can't we have a red-queen's race wh…

Although it's not the most important thing here, I love the IQ badge on the right side of the screen. At IQ 200, the AI is finally qualified to carry a pager for production. I'm in…

Sounds like the real number is 454x faster, not 70x. Checkmate, nerd!

True, but it's not relevant because that isn't how we actually train LLMs for use as quasi-intelligent tools. We specifically do not want the model to be able to just memorize its …

> A shift is happening among major AI labs, who are becoming increasingly skeptical of endless parameter count and training data scaling. The limits of this paradigm were put on th…
